the admin UserCreationForm is hardcoding the "User" model.. I overwrote that to match the new 1.5 custom user style get_user_model() .. how can I now contribute the changes back to django?

What's the optimal way to associate a user profile with a user that I created in a shell/registration form.

Thank

User.objects.filter(is_staff=0, is_active=1,) # How do I filter for groups as well? I only want users in "TEST" group returned?

Trying to go through the docs but is there an easy way to have an admin list page just have a different url for each link than the standard admin page for each obj?

Hi everyone. I'm trying to register admins for proxy models of a custom User model, but it appears as though the admin is using the base User Admin instead, or at leaset it's not using important methods like get_queryset() or the proxy model's default manager. Any idea why this happens?

InvidFlower: try to create a function in the ModelAdmin that prints the desired link, and add the function name to the list_display

Daishiman Thanks will try that

is there a template tag just like "capfirst" but capitalizing every first letter? I guess workaround would be to split it as a list of words and use the capfirst on each

InvidFlower: See allow_tags and short_description in the docs for list_display.

eraldo: Strings have a 'title' method.

mattmcc: perfect..

that was what I was looking for ..thank you :)

Daishiman and mattmcc: Thanks for both of those suggestions. Got it

is there any python pattern for existance-conditional spaced variable string construction (http://dpaste.com/1203091/)

I use that a lot .. there gotta be smarter ways :)

eraldo: can't you just use ' '.join([....]) ?

Yeah.. ' '.join([getattr(self, x) for x in ('title', 'race', 'char') if getattr(self, x)])

or ' '.join(filter(None, (getattr(self, x, None) for x in ....

Yeah.

seems efficient but not very readable

that's why I like the format string.. makes the code easy to read

build a list... join it

What's the optimal way to associate a user profile with a user that I created in a shell/registration form? ty

velcrow: with a OneToOne field?

Really, that's it?

erm

you were expecting something else?

So when I process the user registration form

User is just a model like any other

I just add in a User Profile model or something

auth is an app like any other... it's not like it has special powers

Ok

well, in Django 1.5 you might consider using a custom User model

mattmcc: http://dpaste.com/1203102/

That's because race is a model: you'll need to try str(getattr(self,x)) for x ...

schinckel: I see.. thanks

FunkyBob, What's that?

FunkyBob, Never mind, found it.

I like the one-to-one solution to start

Makes most sense to me

Guys... i get stuck with something... i don't know if it is a bug or a feature :D

I got this on urls.py: url(r'^(?P<network>'+ipsegment_regex+')/ip/add/$', IPAddressAdd.as_view(), name='ip-add'),

Where IPAddressAdd is a CreateView...

and i don't get the network on the requestcontext

is this normal?

Yeah, urlpattern arguments don't go to the context automatically.

On others goes automatically

but not in that..

maybe the CreateView don't spec a urlpaterrn arg on the call?

no, that never happens

I'm wondering if I can pick everyone's brains on something. I've got a great process workflow system created to try and remove paper and it works great and everything, but, now people want to be able to physically print the forms *sigh*. Any ideas on the best way to make a Django Form/ModelForm print friendly?

Guys on DetailView the pk pattern get in automagically...

scottyob: reportlab

jfw: I didn't know about report lab, that's pretty neat. I wrote the framework in such a way that with each user process, it took a ModelForm though. Including a processes 'preview' is rendering a ModelForm. I was hoping for a way to load up a ModelForm but replace all the TextBoxes and the like with static text, but keep the Div layouts they might have put in

freaking django classes...

QliXed: i don't know offhand if the pk gets set in the context of a DetailView, but if it did, it would be because the class needs it. your random argument in a url isn't going to get automatically put into the context

scottyob: it'd be easier to just write simple templates that loop over the same fields that you've put in your form and output them.
