I am following the Writing your first Django app, part 2 for version 1.5. I need to change the “Django administration” at the top of each admin page. I copied django/contrib/admin/templates/admin/base_site.html to /path/to/mysite/templates/admin/base_site.html and added this path under TEMPLATE_DIRS in settings.py. I changed 'Django administration' to another name in base_site.html, but there are no changes in admin page. Am I

missing something?

is the django website available as a downloadable project? I'd like to see how it's pieced together

val_erie, you shouldn't need to add it to TEMPLATE_DIRS

val_erie, just the /path/to/mysite/templates/ should be in TEMPLATE_DIRS

hm, http://wklej.org/id/1025209/ any ideas why so long? ;->

aarcane, thanks, it works now

aarcane: It's on github, yeah.

hello

why the latest version of django doesn't have TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSOR in settings.py?

silverfix: it's still in django.conf.global_settings

silverfix: you can extend it by importing from there

the decarator @transaction.atomic produces 'module' object has no attribute 'atomic'

Has anyone encountered this before?

askhader: because that's new in the development version

Ah

What about with.transaction.atomc(): ?

what about it?

SmileyChris: thank you

Rather, what subset of the transaction module is available to me if any?

SmileyChris: but does is this documented?

Is it possible to use HttpResponseRedirect to changing views and returning file (mimetype) at the same time?

SmileyChris: So I wrapped the entire view in a transaction.commit_on_success - and I am still observing the delay

askhader: certainly seem odd

silverfix: the official way is just to paste the tuple in completely in your settings file if you need it

?

So I'm stumped now trying to use a RequestContext to sanitize a csrf protected form. I need to get the value of the variable choice from the POST data, and I'm led to believe that I have to pass it through a RequestContext to ensure it's protected by CSRF, but I can't figure it out, and I can't find documentation to do anything OTHER THAN pass form data back out to a template.

so I think what I'm looking for is an example of validating the csrf token inside the view before processing the data somehow.

Never mind, It appears that since I have the middlewear enabled, it's automatic and my view doesn't require any additional modification.
