twoolie: awww... why don't you and schinckel go to a pub and comisserate about it over a few beers :P

maybe we should do melbdjango roadtrip...with tour bus and all that ;)

well, we already had a MelbDjango in Hobart, so...

true that

that was fun :)

so the filesizeformat filter is neat, particularly now that I see it automatically i18ns its output...

is there an equivalent method i can use from within python code that would get i18n for free?

eg MB -> МБ in Russian

elbaschid: being in a pub didn't hurt :)

it never does ... unless you start picking a fight, that is

even then... :P

blah... guess it's time I learned to Sphinx... so nap can be on RTD

I'm trying to combine a modelform and a non modelform together by subclassing both, but fields from the non model form are being ignored. https://dpaste.de/MIyw

subleq: why would you combine them?

subleq: you can use more than one Form class to process a single submit

FunkyBob: I know...my situation is...complicated

I might end up having to do that, but I think it would be nicer if I could combine them

perhaps if you told us.... more... we might be able to help

Hi, running collectstatic I wanna ignore a subfolder but it doesn't work. Even using this command

./manage.py collectstatic --ignore=site/node_modules site/node_modules folder is copied

FunkyBob: I've got a form class generated by a dynamic form builder (the user builds a form from our ui), and I need to add some fields to it that come from a model, so I'd like to use a model form. It's more convenient to treat the whole thing as a single form instead of two

any idea?

rmaceissoft: why do you want to ignore some of your static media?

subleq: I see

subleq: I'd look at doing a custom one-step form building

FunkyBob: in the particular case of node_modules it is not needed for site in production. it's just used during building of assets

FunkyBob: and I don't want to upload that folder to my S3 bucket

hmm

perhaps have an extra app in your development settings that has the non-productino static media?

FunkyBob: oh, yeah, perhaps I can just generate a modelform from the beginning

it's not hard

mmm

FunkyBob: I would need to do considerable changes for that, I think. just trying to do easier at this point. wondering why ignoring pattern is not working for collectstatic

didn't even know collectstatic had an ignore option

rmaceissoft: maybe --ignore "site/node_modules"

as in drop the = there

docs don't have the =

or site/node_modules*

also, it's a glob-style pattern so maybe --ignore "site/node_modules/*

it is a glob pattern, after all

yeah

let me try that

https://dpaste.de/fQzO/raw (approximation to my folder structure under static)

oh, well then site/node_modules is all wrong

you probably want **/node_modules

FunkyBob: any idea how to filter on just the time from a datetime field?

filter(dtfield__time=....) ?

https://dpaste.de/hDKp :o way

rmaceissoft: these do or do not work?

rmaceissoft: relative to the static/ dir, what's the path of the files?

btw,my folder structure is like this (https://dpaste.de/cSes/raw) it was wrong

do not work

app1/node_modules

ok, so I would expect --exclude "app1/node_modules/*" to work

or is it --ignore /

--ignore=

django docs doesn't have the =

-i PATTERN, --ignore=PATTERN

help does

ugh

I tested with both

maybe it wants the path to start with / ?

as in --ignore="/app1/node_modules/*"

feeling frustrated... the curious is .. when I try to ignore a folder at first level inside static it works, with subfolder doesn't

well, that's helpful to know
