tbaxter: just curious, but have you worked on multilang sites?

not sure what is right, but i can see its not nesc obvious and an easy call...

I haven't. So I'm really just giving my opinion.

giarc: agreed

boom... {{ language.0|language_name_local }} <--- works!

Thanks all

submit that as a patch...

IMO

Its already in the code base, just a bit undocumented...

hi. can i assign choices for a model's char field inside the __init__ of a ModelForm?

Wait, turns out, it IS documented...https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/...

*facepalm*

aeikenberry: yes

doesn't seem to do the trick

aeikenberry: http://dpaste.com/1360207/

oh, has to be a list?

Oh, one could probably build out a tuple, maybe. List is easier. Mine could be cleaner with a list comprehension

yeah, still not working for me though. :/

gimme a paste

when i break, that fields choices is the list, and the list is a list of tuples sized two

aeikenberry: I'm wondering about sans_us_possessions

the list looks ok. it's just a filter

it just still renders as a text field rather than select

lets simplifiy: https://dpaste.de/BCWMM/

weird. You could override the widget

Hello. I need to display the group name of every user in Django Admin user list page in a new column using list_display. How I can do this? I can get the name of every group using somethink like "User.groups.all()[0].name" and also I modified the django admin to only allow 1 group per user. Thanks

tbaxter: https://dpaste.de/wfdwa/

emadicius: I think you're making a big mistake limiting to one group per user. But aside from that are you subclassing auth.user?

tbaxter: this works

nice

tbaxter: No, I am not subclassing auth.user

OK. But you are unregistering and re-registering the user admin?

yes

Ok, one minute....

I want to add a calculated field but I think it is only possible in a Model

thinking

not in Admin

so I tried to subclass User and add this calculated field but then things get complicated because then I get an error telling me that the table <subclassedUser> does not exists

well, if you subclassed AbstractUser to add a method, that would be pretty straightforward

before subclassing, be sure to read the 1.5 custom user docs (particularly the bit about AbstractUser and extending the default user)

is this available in 1.4?

what is the easiest way to find out if a member belongs to group.members.all(). Just interested if there is a builtin way.

emadicius: No, subclassing User shouldn't be done prior to 1.5.

tbaxter: is not possible to use list_view to show fields from other related model?

emadicius: http://dpaste.com/1360234/

sorry I mean list_display

right now I have this in UserAdmin -> list_display = ('agencia_name','username','email','first_name','last_name','is_active')

eh group.members.fllter(members=member).exists()

oh so it is possible to use a funtion inside list_display!

emadicius: You can put a method in list_display which returns whatever you want.

clime if member in group.members.all()?

ye

perfect! I will try that!

emadicius: if you wanted, you could also replace first name and last name with get_fullname()

tbaxter: perfect! It worked!

thanks a lot!

and I didn't even have a typo in there. woohoo

just 1 more thing.. it is possible to have a verbose name in this function? Or the only option is to rename the function??

emadicius: are you talking about what shows up in the column header?

tbaxter: isn't it get_full_name()?

__love__: maybe probably

emadicius: Give your function a short_description attribute.

tbaxter: so much for no typos ;)

__love__: hey, I didn't mention get_fullname in the paste

emadicius: see line 15 in the paste for an example of short_description

ah, shit…. there's my typo

oh sorry I see it now

knew there had to be at least one

tbaxter: It does not matter 1 typo... now is working.. thanks!

tbaxter: line 4 (i know it's from the docs), don't use %format. use .format()

not mine. Not claiming it.

I have to claim line 15 though

lol

as a side note, I liked %s better than format(). Ah well.

tbaxter: For the simple case, I do too, but format can certainly do cooler things (attribute access)

yes, it can

it's better, I know.

stick, meet mud

yup
