clime: just make a comment above that line so later you can know what the line is really doing

mstrcnvs: alright, thx for feedback

can anyone tell me why the str() method does not seem to work in my admin (but does in my test)

nlh: which python version?

In the admin I see '- 2013-11-28'

django 1.6, python 3.3

nlh: the problem may be in the get_full_name method

mstrcnvs, i've checked that - it seems to be working correctly. i.e. I can print it on a previous line

weird..

try returning only the get_full_name on the __str__, see what happens

mstrcnvs, facepalm! Just realised my mistake

errrrr.

user in the admin has no first name or last name

sorry!

nice!

thanks for your help anyway :)

funny

I do that all the time

am I going to have a ton of trouble converting my production AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE MySQL db to an AUTH_USER_MODEL database? should I use south?

happyface: you can reuse the profile anyway

happyface: or your profile contains things like password?

mstrcnvs: I'm using an AbstractUser now, so the profile fields are still the same I think

didn't understand your question so...

maybe I should of used the word schema migration?

yes, but migrating from what to what?

profile models with AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE to an AbstractUser with AUTH_USER_MODEL

Hi

im having a problem with django and mod_wsgi

the sad thing is that I am not as much a programmer as I am an aesthetic

gus_uy: and what is exactly ?

Hi. Does Django support multiple STATIC_URLs, i.e. multiple asset servers? I’m trying to parallelize browser downloads further, but can only set one server for static and one for media.

I’d like to have, for example, static0.example.com and static1.example.com and have django choose either at random.

I tried a lambda in the settings, but that obviously didn’t work because Django checks for .endswith etc.

not really, no

So I guess I’d have to build my own staticfiles app or {% static %} tag

you really have that many assets per page?

custom static tag perhaps

Yeah, the pages are quite image heavy

or custom staticfiles storage, which round robbins

Just splitting into app, static and media helped a lot

But I’d like to cut load time down further

have you analysed that that's really your time?

and not, say, loading a dozen social sites like buttons? :)

Staticfiles Backends have the ability to modify the URL. you could write a staticfiles backend reasonably simply that wraps another backend, but provides asset sharding.

also, what FunkyBob said

FunkyBob, yes, I’ve been analysing the hell out of the app with NR, profilers, dtrace etc.

It’s one of the low hanging fruit in fact.

can't just sprite-ify a bunch of images? :)

No, they change too often

how many assets per page are we talking, anyhow?

We’re talking 300x200ish thumbs of teaser images

~40% of the page is just images

some 30-80 depending on which page

what's the page load times showing as in NR?

3.2s in DOM processing, 1.5s in page rendering

anyway

we're at about 2+2

Just wanted to make sure I didn’t miss anything obvious googling

5 second overall

We’re at 5.95s overall, which is ~5s too many IMO

I’m now getting rid of csrf tokens for anonymous users since there are no “dangerous” actions for them anyway

that will allow me to just Varnish everything for anons
