#django

you can do that in either, but i was specifically thinking about the templates

daschel: this are the models http://pastebin.com/bGZBpNvc

eagle2990: put briefly, views define what you make available. templates define how you use / show it.

https://github.com/django/django/tree/master/dj... these are the generic CBVs you're using, if it helps.

meridiandev: i mean...i understand what i do...a little bit, but for this joining things...i'm kind of lost

think of it less as joining and more as presentation.

wrong paradigm. or something.

i just saw that and i'm like O.o

daschel: any handy references on here's context/tags/etc. for beginners?

there has to be a better way for eagle than my awesome approach of caffeine and print statements when i was sorting this stuff out.

eagle2990, https://dpaste.de/TWqF see if that makes any sense

how can i properly append decorator to admin.ModelAdmin function (custom view function)...decorator takes first parameter (self, not request, as it is normal in view functions)?

meridiandev, nothing that I can think of specifically on those topics other than stackover flow and google :)

would you agree the best way might be to start with a TemplateView and make it do List/Detail first to learn the basics?

meridiandev: oh...now i get it...i mean...i thought that i had to do that for the 2 or more objects join

don't overthink things : )

(that's how i wound up accidentally making half a CMS.)

meridiandev, your last comment seems reasonable, but im bouncing between a couple conversations, watching a movie, and am a bit less-than-sober, so it's hard to know for sure

daschel: i understoodthat so the commented lines will be in the views.py and obviously the rest in the template

I wrote this permission class but it doesn't address my problem https://gist.github.com/pazooki/103bc659e488121...

can someone help me please?

don't think that i'm not reaserching....i have like 20 tabs reading at the same time xD

eagle2990, well if you're using generic views, passing the context variables will be slightly different

eagle2990, we've all been there. we're here to help

it let everyone see all the user objects , I want only the owner of that object to be able to see its obj

no need to worry :0

:)

frege, i'll try to help you as soon as i can

eagle2990, to clarify, ProjectNoteList(generic.ListView) is the view we're working with right

?

daschel: yeah, but i'm willing to change it...i just chose it for a quick dev

ok

so what is the focus point of this page

is it a single project or a list of projects?

daschel: updated https://gist.github.com/pazooki/103bc659e488121...

daschel: the idea is that in that page you can see the details of the project (like name, description...) and also the notes, probably later i will join another model, but the idea is to join everything is just one thing...like some sort of dashboard

I am trying to migrate do Django 1.7, but the my initial fixtures for auth_group table no longer works.. it seems that my app models and fixtures are loaded before django auth models are created

ok, so on the dashboard you want a series of objects that will remain more or less constant?

constant between pages i mena

mean

yes

ok

well, what we want to do is use a context processor to pass these "standard" context objects to the view, then simplify your generic view. the point of generic views is to not have to write a bunch of code.

context processors aren't as scary as they sound

it's just a helper function that returns a context variable

generic views automatically receive all context data defined in your context processor list

so

in your app folder, create a file...let's be creative...call it....context_processors.py

done

daschel: When I tried the solution you suggested, I get the error: blog is not a namespace. I think that has to do with how I am referring to the view in my template. Right now, I want the index view to show links to all of the blog posts I've ever created. They should link to the detail view of each blog post. I am identifying them based on the slug. So, I create the links using the following url function: <li><a href="{% url '

eagle2990, ok, now define a function (it doesn't matter the name, but pick something that makes sense) and just put "pass" as the first line so we can get things working.

eagle2990, now in settings.py, you need to modify TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS. add your new context processor here, like "<app_name>.context_processors.<function_name>"

honestemu, you can just delete where it says name="blog" in the urls.py

wait, im confusing myself. i dont know who im talking to anymore

daschel: ok i'm done

ok, wel honestemu left, so that'll make things easier

ok, now what do you want to display in each view? or in other words, what do you want to pass to your dashboard?

its been a while since I visited the front end part of django, is there an application that can handle multiple user profiles + social authentication? I am finding one or the other, but not one that does both.

maybe I am missing something.

right now a project detail and that it loads all the notes related to it

burhan, allauth

is there any limitations to naming attributes in your model when it comes to using get_FOO_display() ?

eagle2990, wait, so the dashboard doesn't remain constant between projects?

I saw that, it will take care of the authentication; but not custom user profiles, I still have to handle that myself.

timtim: what's the problem you are facing?

yeah...it's the same, as in if you pick project 1, it will show notes related to project 1

if you pick 2, you pick notes related to project 2

i have attributes with underscores which return nothing when i do {{ partner.get_my_attribute_display }} but {{ partner.get_status_display }} works

if i do {{ partner.my_attribute }} it prints out the raw answer but in my model i'm following the examples of using tuples to do CharField

wait, i'm pretty sure i'm an idiot

yeah my_attribute isn't doing the tuple thing for multiple choices so there is nothing to return

thanks burhan ! if only i had asked earlier and thought about it i could have saved some time
