oh well, for now i'll go the full generic relation querying way.

Hi, I have Item model which has a FK to Family model. I have this url "/my-family/add-item" that is meant to create a new Item instance with FK set to "my-family" Family instance.

Suppose I want to use a CreateView CBV to serve that url, how can I make it aware of my-family instance?

How can I tell it that Family FK is to be set to my-family?

Is that possible with a CreateView CBV? What do you think I have to override?

maybe get_initial() method... I am having a look

hm... i am not sure whether get_initial() or get_form_kwargs() can be my best option

with urls.py, how do I make a default page url?

url(r'^/$', my_homepage_view), | didnt work

Throw away the "/" character.

JesseH: http://dpaste.de/apOgm/

I could just do a '' then

Is that right?

Oh right freannrak thanks

JesseH: no, '' is not the same as '^$'

O.o

It works

'' works

sure, but it matches EVERYTHING else, also

or does it? hmm..

brain's not working

I will test and get back to you.

explicit is better than implicit

Just / led to my_homepage_view and "^hello/$" led to hello

So yeah it works like I want it to. :)

Hi, when I type 'python manage.py shell', I can't use uparrow/downarrow in the interpreter to reuse old commands. I'm on Debian Linux. Any idea how to fix this ? Something to do with readline ? up/down works in normal interpreter.

Anyone know anything about displaying .mesh models in a webpage? :-)

b0rsuk: interesting, uparrow works fine for me (snow lepoard). import readline?

also dang came across something odd

test/ isnt showing up!

Is there anything against using the word test with python syntax?

JesseH: no, there isn't

Okay that was odd. The line that handles the homepage url must be at the bottom of the url list.

I didn't read anything about that in the documentation.

JesseH: not true

I can show you how it works with it only at the bottom mate. It must be a PEBKAC

error*

first match wins.

are you still using '' instead of r'^$' ?

I am. :-)

I shouldnt be should I

...

I _did_ tell you

<FunkyBob> or does it? hmm..

DOUBT

:P

"explicit is better than implicit"

Yes sir mister sir, sir.

no, open a shell, type "import this", and study

:-)

freannrak: I was wrong, it's working.

Wow ! Just: wow !

I have a great tip for anyone using 'readline' library(Everyone except Windows users?). I thought it works in Bash only, but it also works in Python interpreter. Check out '.inputrc' file in my 'config_files' repo. The readme file explains. https://github.com/monuszko/config_files

Hi guys, I have a small question. Lets say I have a form, that I want to use to authenticate some users. When I click on the submit, I want to call a JS function which will call my authentication view. Is it something possible? Or do I have to call directly the view?

jrm2k6: jquery post to a view, have it respond with whatever you want.

Nervosa: I m using angular.js but I will check, thanks

Nervosa: !

FunkyBob: Wut?

jrm2k6: it all looks the same to Django... a HTTP request is a HTTP request

ok good, thanks.

hello

how do you get all Authors that have more than 0 books?

Apparently, if you use admin interface to add entries with a 'datetime' field, you can add entries with IDENTICAL datetime. (e1.created_at - e2.created.at == timedelta(0)). It happens if you do so in the same minute. This throws my 'prev_entry' and 'next_entry' methods off-balance. Any ideas how to amend tihs ?

Jax: Author.objects.filter(book__isnull=False)

I could require 'created_at' to be unique, but this can lead to ugly side effects, including populating database with data from .json or .csv.

Jax: Author.objects.annotate(book_count=Count('book')).filter(book_count__gt=0)
