[ryanisnan] i'm afraid i have to ask how do i do that?

sorry my noobism'

attached that i'm not so good with english

marcelozarate: Don't apologize - it's unnecessary. Try putting `import pdb; pdb.set_trace()` right after you define `tarea`

ryanisnan: I get this "

coercing to Unicode: need string or buffer, ImageFieldFile found"

wtf?

When you revisit that view, your server should pause and the python debugger should take over your terminal. In there, you can play around, and see what `tarea` has.

marcelozarate: To break out of it, just press CTRL+D.

badbandit: Can you paste a full traceback?

i'm afraid my server doesn't pause, and that i'm beyond windows

because can't install linux yet because of warranty

badbandit: Check out the __unicode__ method on ProductImage. http://dpaste.com/855934/

[ryanisnan] i added those lines but nothing happened

marcelozarate: Hm. You should be able to get PDB installed on windows, but, provided you can't… and assuming you can see output in your server's terminal, perhaps print out some features of `tarea` just after you instantiate it.

marcelozarate: http://dpaste.org/3D0Ww/

thanks so much ryanisnan for even coding that XD but my problem is, on the windows server nothing shows up even if I put print "Hello" in my view

marcelozarate: No problem. Ok. So, is the problem that your edits are not saving? The object isn't being updated properly?

marcelozarate: Is a new object being created? What is happening?

Yes

wait a second please

the objects are edited

indeed

i even see the updates in my list

but

when i edit i hope to have a form with the fields prepopulated, not just empty fields

that's what i'm trying to achieve, i do not know if i'm working out this english

marcelozarate: Oh, why didn't you say that :)

marcelozarate: This is simple.

sorry i thought i mention that, probably just miss-expressing myself

marcelozarate: http://dpaste.org/0PkF0/ :)

marcelozarate: You were only pulling the task with the given ID in the scenario where the user is making a POST request. When they have made another request (presumably GET), the task was not passed to the form, so it did not have it's initial data.

ryanisnan: Do you think the error is because when I am creating a new ProductImage, the product field has not been saved yet, so it doesnt know what instance.product is? If so any ideas?

I started my begging with "I have a silly question I think", and indeed it was. Thanks so much ryanisnan ! I should work a little harder in how to express myself when asking for help. Thanks a lot ryanisnan

marcelozarate: Hehe, don't mention it :) Good luck!

badbandit: Did you see my paste above?

badbandit: I'm fairly certain the error you were having is because you were trying to coerce an ImageField to a unicode string. I've updated the __unicode__ method on your ProductImage model. http://dpaste.com/855934/

Good evening. Is there a way to filter objects based on them having a child object in the DB? Like a LEFT JOIN someobject WHERE someobject.id IS NOT NULL type behavior?

Hi, I have a custom template tag, but I don't know why the render() function in the Node is not being called.

Hi, I'm "new" to django (18 months+ researching and dev server playing, nothing real deployed) and I'm trying to get myself oriented and transfer a WP blog-- I like having (database based) media manger, menu, generic + heirarchical taxonomy, and a light CMS

in particular, line 109 of http://dpaste.com/856093/ Thanks!

is it a right of passage to roll my own? or is the right of passage figuring out the compromise of using published apps

?

sixpearls: i would use WP

mh512: is your template successfully loading the template tags?

sixpearls: I believe so. I can print stuff in do_loadmacros()

mh512: why use WP?

sixpearls: WP works out of the box for most use-cases...

mh512: I would like to integrate some django apps with "posts" seems like reason enough to make something in django?

thank goddd it all works

mh512: Not sure what the exact issue is with your template tag but having code after the "return" seems odd

sixpearls: ah figured it out... apparently, putting the tag outside the block tag doesnt do the rendering...

who can help me attach django-admin-multiupload to admin?
