What's the story with django.contrib.comments being deprecated? Are comment apps based on that safe to use?

It's still available in an external repo

so I'd say that you're mostly okay. Even if you use a new version of Django, you can always include django-contrib-comments.

JustSighDudes: I think everyone else switched to using Disqus :)

FunkyBob: Yeah :/ But I don't want the users to sign in to submit content and then a separate sign in for comments.

comments are easy to write...

True. Are there any good reasons against using django.contrib.comments?

hey guys is there a way to place a template tag in for a form element?

or modify the element's html extensively?

fmdfrankv: You can do that in your forms.py

JustSighDudes: I guess if you had different ideas about what you wanted your comment system to be like, you might want to use something else

but if django-contrib-comments works for you, then go for it.

fmdfrankv: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/forms...

thank you JustSighDudes

JustSighDudes: stop giving links to DEV docs

JustSighDudes: as to the contrib.comments app... no, no particular reason against it... I think Django are trying to shed contrib apps where they can

hmm, need to hook up my irc client with reconnect for when people unplug the router

eppa: irssi in a screen session on a vps, my friend :)

FunkyBob: Wasn't there a bot that fixed that? I didn't even check I thought it would kick in

Not strictly a django question: In the relational data jargon, were there special terms to denote two records that are related by FK?

I forget.

k_sze[work]: One to one relationship?

FunkyBob: have you tried tmux? just recently switched after a decade of screen... so much better :)

JustSighDudes: ticketbox has been exhausted by all the lazy people who just use google

I have a custom user extending AbstractBaseUser and while I have a last_login field in my data table, when I try to log a user in I get this error: Column 'last_login' cannot be null

i'm guilty of that. it's faster and better than djangoproject's search

The relationship would be one-to-many (or many-to-one) if you have two rows related by a foreign key. That is, unless the foreign-key relation also has a unique constraint.

If it has a unique constraint, then it's one-to-one.

Not sure if that answers your question.

True. Googling something is a reflex now

Kedgen: you probably don't want your last login field to be defined as not null

I don't even have to know what something is called. I just type what I'm thinking about + django and google either finds me the docs page or an app that takes care of it for me.

jfw jfw: Thank you so much

that fixed it!

I just set it to null

huh I thought that I would only get that error if I had it set to null and it wasn't allowed to be

In PHPMyAdmin there is a null checkbox

does that just determine whether it's allowed to be null?

Kedgen: You're on your way to a world of hurt.

why is that the case

You're gonna make the db and django out of sync

Sure you can be careful about it and make sure you check everything but that's the hard way of doing it.

I find everything works best if all your db modifications are done through models

dammit i cant find a single line to reset my database

i have to delete the whole thing, and create a new one

velcrow: What are you trying to do?

well, i ran a syncdb, but I messed up my model because I created a datefield but didn't set null=true in it, so it keep throwing this error: (1048, "Column 'birthdate' cannot be null")

Are you not using south?

I just want to run a fresh syncdb so that it realizes I made the change

south? I read about it in the docs but didn't know it applied to my situation.

velcrow: you using MySQL?

South is data migrations for your models. It's like syncdb on steroids.

oh i see

will try

yoooo! anyone using Haystack? I have a quick question but their channel is dead lol

Well you might have to do it manually this time but it'll take care of this stuff for you after you start using it.

JustSighDudes, Ok I installed south, but what do I have to do manually?

So Rails has "Better Errors", is there its counterpart?

in django, I mean.

k_sze[work]: django_extensions with runserver_plus

required werkzeug

abisson: what's the haystack q, we implemented it a while ago

k_sze[work]: I suppose that depends on what it does.

ok…brntn: just to be sure, if I do

results = SearchQuerySet().models(User).filter(last_name__startswith=request.GET['q']).filter(department=request.GET['d'])

brntn: this will call ElasticSearch only once correct? The filters are just being applied to a regular QS?

mattmcc: I'm mostly interested in the full stack trace with stack frame variables and live REPL per stack frame.

hi everyone, i m a bit confused right now. when i access a related manager, django names it x_set, but when i want to filter the relation objects i have to use xs (lowercase plural). isnt that inconsistent? or is there a reason behind it, i can only find _set mentioned in the docs?

abisson: Yep, it acts like a reqular queryset in that case I think (though, the django-haystack guys would know more)

lemonjack3: I would expect in filter it to just be the field name... no lower case and no plural [unless the field name is plural]

s/field/model/

abisson: There's no reason that you couldn't do both of those filter in one filter(), and wouldn't be too hard to check by looking at the log

FunkyBob: oh ok of course, that makes sense... gosh i hate my companies naming 'conventions'

FunkyBob: my fault, thanks a lot

brntn: yeah I thinking about that

I was**

brntn: do you know where we can get directly the log with all the queries?

abisson: not sure with ElasticSearch, we were using Solr

kk

brntn: thx!

ugh, installing django-extension just broke pip.

k_sze[work]: Yeah, you'll like the werkzeug debugger.

after I do 'pip install django-extension', subsequent uses of pip result in AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'DEBUG'

nvm

there was a logging.py file in my pwd.

and pip freaked out.

anyone have recommendations for a bootstrap app that provides things like bootstrap formatted forms?

it seems like there are a lot of options... not sure which one is current
