Ran 42 tests in 0.666s

the devil is in the detail!

wrong number for the devil...

maznaz: I envy you so much

Ran 536 tests in 2770.727s

tests don't take long by themselves, I think I just have ridiculously slow test database creation / clearing for some reason <_<

I want to upload files to a directory whose name is the username of the currently logged in user. My idea is:

class Upload(models.Model, request):

username = request.post['username']

How can I override the methods for Managers and QuerySets at one place? Eg: If I have to override filter(), right now, I do it in both the custom Manager and the custom QuerySet classes.

uploaded_file = models.FileField(upload_to = 'os.join(username)')

zipper: erm... no.. that's just try to use that string literal as a prefix

zipper: your problem will be trying to get the username to the upload_to callable

Naeblis: why do you want to override it?

FunkyBob yes

FunkBob that's the only way I could see it working

because I want some custom filtering done...

Naeblis: yeah, um... you'll have to give me something more if you want useful help

I mean, why would you overrid filter, instead of adding a custom queryset or manager method?

FunkyBob okay let me try implement this at the view level or something.

FunkyBob: I'm using DRF along with django-filter, which means the results that I want are available via the filter() method, and I want to override that.

Naeblis: for now your best bet for "write it once" solution is to use the PassThroughManager from django-model-utils

what does django-filter do?

and why would it require you to overrid filter?

we keep coming back to this one question, which you circle but never actually answer

I'm trying to use django-taggit but when I specify for example 6 tags the site freezes and I have no idea why. Views; https://dpaste.de/KGcsT/ Forms; https://dpaste.de/m0SbP/ The pdb is just to check where it freezes.

Naeblis, using class or function based views?

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2163151/cust... found the answer

drager: isn't there a TagField provided by taggit for forms?

Hey, I'm trying to use django-ckeditor in my admin pages but when it tries to GET the ckeditor.js it's looking in the wrong place. How can I change where it looks?

Naeblis: as I said, django-model-utils has the very well tested PassThroughManager

but hey... just ignore the people trying to help you... what would we know?

no need to be snarky about it. Thanks for your help.

Naeblis: I'm still trying to figure out why you want to override filter at all?

^ because explaining that would take some time.

FunkyBob: Not sure, I'll check

Naeblis, still, are you using class based views :)

Naeblis: explaining it might help find a simple solution

kyrix: no views at all. :p

Naeblis, you said you are also using django-filter

kyrix: http://django-rest-framework.org/api-guide/filt...

DRF is all about views... you must be using some

FunkyBob: It's for my GSoC project. Creating a REST interface to back models up in different layers...

so right now, I'm creating a sandbox application where each layer exposes it's models via DRF to the layer above

Naeblis, I would use django-model-utils and just create a mixin that does the filtering. eazy cheeyz.

you said "no views at all" ... that can't work

eh, the views are DRF ViewSets

kyrix: that makes three times :)

by default, if I want to do querries via DRFs, say /?name=foo, it returns ALL the reuslts

*results

so django-filter is better than the filtering tools built into DRF?

using django-filter, I can make it behave the way that I want

and if THAT filtering does not work, I want it to look for the results in the layer below

I know from the research I did for my PyConAU talk, DRF provides some filtering machinery

so the idea is to "dig deeper until you find something"

it's starting to sound like you're trying to move your application code [interpreting the filtering] into the queryset ...?

sure, but doing things at the "view-level" the way I want to go. Doing it at the "model-level" would be better.

*isn't

yep

Hm, funny error

(126, "Incorrect key file for table 'C:\\Windows\\TEMP\\#sqldf0_a_2.MYI'; try to repair it")

so you want to try to apply a wrapper to filter to change the filter args?

FunkyBob: how do you mean?

It's about the diskspace?

Naeblis: Why do you want to override the filter method? why not add your own method ?

because then I would have to customize DRF to use that method too, I think.

why not just give DRF your own Filtering class?

If it can be done via overriding filter and using the already built-in mechanisms, why not use that though?

because the correct way to do it is to provide DRF with your own custom filtering class

Hey, I'm trying to use django-ckeditor in my admin pages but when it tries to GET the ckeditor.js it's looking in the wrong place. How can I change where it looks?

FunkyBob: I dunno. filter() is working fine as it is. I just wanted to remove the code from 2 places...

Naeblis: in fact, I just read in their docs DRF uses django-filter... so...

Naeblis: follow the docs for custom admin media...

Nanor: even

Nanor: follow the docs for custom admin media

Nanor: or custom form media

Nanor: so you're _already_ overriding filter?

FUCKING STUPID NICK COMPLETE

heh

yeah

Naeblis: so you're already overriding filter?

and you want to avoid the duplication

mhm

then, as I said way way way back at the start... use django-model-utils PassThroughManager

which was my original question

kyrix gave that same solution

personally, I'd be wary of anything I found on SO

:o

you mean the internet doesn't know everything?

a/win 49

popular != correct

SO is "suppose" to be the place where the "knowledgeable" people go to ask for help

i thought knowledgeable people rtfm

brambo: most of the questions on SO are dross

agreed, if i have a problem, i usually find at least 10 SO posts that are horribly asked and may have a piece to the actual answer I'm looking for

s/the actual/one probably not optimal/

FunkyBob: Still freezes using the TagField

nkuttler: Manuals are boring and long

lol

brambo: and reading is hard, i know. let's go shopping!

I'll get my purse

I'll admit I use to be a lazy bones that wouldn't RTFM, but lately it seems like documentation for some things have gotten much better to so it's easier to understand

drager: i think you want #mysql?

drager: also, did you try to repair it?
