I have a ModelForm on which I want to validate a field against the current user, but in clean_myfield(self) I can't access the request. How can I do my check? Should I do it somewhere in the view, but then in which method of my CBV?

Hello!

maPeakXL: pass the request, or the user, to the form

kezabelle: ok

pass as little as possible

if you only needthe user, pass the user

hey whats the best practice to include existing database tables in a model using south?

do I need to do migrate --fake or can I somehow mark these migrations as fake?

--existing... whatever

im looking at django's source how do i tell what version of django im in master

?

djapo: If you're in master, it's not a version.

mattmcc: do i need to take out a tag,

djapo: I don't know, what are you actually trying to do?

so if i install from master what version would it be? im trying to install 1.7sjf or something

If you want the 1.7 beta, grab the tarball from the website.

mattmcc: that would work, im going with the tag approach

ddssc, create initial migration using `python manage.py schemamigration <yourapp> --initial` . Then migrate fake to it `python manage.py migrate <yourapp> 0001 --fake`

ragsagar: ok so when I move the migration files to another server, will I have to do this specific migration wtih migrate --fake again?

ddssc, depends on the state of database in your server.

because the migration will break if the "table already" exist etc. of course I can always mark the table as unmanaged but I need it to be managed by south.

ddssc, You have to do migrate --fake in server too if you already have those tables created by syncdb.

Is there any reason not to delete migrations and rebase?

ragsagar: ok thanks. I thought maybe there was some way to mark those migrations as fake in the migration files themselves, like when calling schemamigration --fake or something

d1rkp1tt: what do you mean?

another interesting question

how do i append "?as=PDF" to a URL in a template, {% url 'contract' %} ?

Well I dont know if its good behavior, so I am asking... but I often get inconsistancies between dev and live with south. So if everything is up to speed and I am not rolling back.. then I sometimes delete my migrations and let it baseline as is

And now for something completely different... http://wwwwwwwww.jodi.org/

Be sure to check the page source, too.

Mostly do this on my dev

because my DB serves 4+ branches

So can be a pain when I am trying to run tests on branches

Is it possible to filter using another attribute of the object. If I have a model with a start _date and a length, can I do something Model.objects.filter(start_date__lt=timezone.now() + timedelta(minutes=??? length ???))

maPeakXL, ',' instead of +

urr hangon

d1rkp1tt: that wouldn't make the filter correct. I would like to check if "now" is less than my start_date + the number of minutes of each row

maPeakXL, F expression

I see what your asking now

sorry

ragsagar: thanks I'll have a look in the doc

hi! i've a little question

rclsilver: fascinating

i've a model Node and a model Group. In the Group model, i have a ManyToManyField() linked to Node, with a related_name defined to groups.

ragsagar: doesn't work...

Any way in the NodeForm to have the field for groups?

rclsilver: specify a field

info: in the node form, i'm not able to know the list of "linked" models

maPeakXL, https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/topics/db...

rclsilver: sure you are

it's right there on the reverse relation

xmj: cant you just literally put it after %}? not sure what your question is

xmj: exactly what ustunozgur said

ragsagar: but I'm using the F value inside a time delta object. My filter look like Model.objects.filter(date__gt=timezone.now() - timedelta(minutes=F('n_slot_length')))

so it doesn't work well

FunkyBob: with a form based on ModelForm, any way to includes them auto?

rclsilver: no

maPeakXL: no, that can't work because you're mixing Python side with DB side

hi humans

i have lots of html views and urls that look very much alike
