#django

hello, i'm a python novice taking an object oriented design course. for my class project i'm to showcase my knowledge of object oriented programming by creating a online application that would represent a pizza shop where the customers and employees would interact with the site. i want to implement this project in python, but given that i'm a python novice, would you all recommend that i use django as the web framework or a smaller fr

s'up people.

Anyone know... the easiest way to replace a URL in the urlpatterns once a site's loaded up/

?

I need to, hopefully, surgically replace two insecure views.

How is the view insecure?

umm... it has an open redirect. The author is patching it, but it's insecure right now.

You're able to change the root urlconf, right?

And, what do you need to replace the view with?

What is the best way for a manager to reference it's class? Is there like a self.__soemthing__ method?

__class__?

That will reference the manager class, won't it?

Oh, you want the model? self.model?

mattmcc: That works?

That returns the class, and not an instance right, mattmcc ?

Well, you can't access manager methods through a model instance.

Thanks amn

man*

How do I put managers in a separate file without causing recursion (since I need models to be imported)?

When I say recursion, I mean recursive import errors

mattmcc, yeah, I own the site, I can change the root urlconf.

mattmcc, I'm hoping to add similar/exact versions of the views, but safe, and name them the same thing.

not exact.

versions that are safe, but the kicker is the NAME needs to be the same.

So you can put your own urlpatterns in front of the offending ones with the same regex that point to your own views.

so that 3rd parties aren't broken.

The name can be the same. Reverse lookups are done in order.

It's the name bit...

Oh.

OK, perfect!

That's great.

So your patterns just need to come first.

Right. Yeah, I was doing that but I was like "ohh man, these names are probably unique."

Cool.

I should have jumped into the resolver code, but it's a bit obtuse, IIRC.

So I was like ... heh... I'll just ask first. ;)

Is there a generic way to allow case insesntive sorting through haystack ?

situ: it isn't by default?

I am using Solr, and it sorts in case senstitive order.

fuck you google! why do I have to tell you all my search terms are important?

will i have self.request.user without doing authenticate or login ?

yes

that's what the auth docs say

john_nash: you can check whether a user is logged in with request.user.is_anonymous().

Am I getting it right that a field of type 'TextField' does not needs 'max_length' argument?

correct

Thanks!

wonder who controls the "Django Q&A" feed

it seems a tad spam riddled

situ, FunkyBob :i am writing a small chat application, where i will ask anonymous user to provide email address and solve a captcha and then create a User, can i have this user instead of anonymous user without doing login or authenticate ?

why not login/auth?

coz the user is not registered with system

but you just registered them

no i only asked for email address and solve a captcha to prove they are human

sounds like enough rego to me

i din asked for password

:)

perhaps you're thinking you'll need to create auth.User objects, and that's too much?
