#django

Okay, so I've tried both authenticate(email=email, password=password) and authenticate(username=email, password=password), with email being a user's email (checked the database), and authenticate is returning None

litewait: you'll need to subclass them and implement your own dispath method

Kye: models, models, code, views, models, give us code

how do I add HTML attributes to a form's Field?

joelteon: form.fields['field'].widget.attrs['attr'] = 'value'

huh, okay.

what is the best way to build a form with a drop down list

hello

forms.py is for the login form which is reporting the auth failure

i have a model User with name field, how can i get all names of users as a tuple e.g?

Pretty new to web development and started building an app in Flask (thought lower barrier to entry), then I realized I needed add ons for Forms, an ORM, Session Management. Would I be better to go with Django since it looks like I need all the batteries?

meisth0th: User.objects.values_list('name', flat=True)

mstrcnvs: thanks

deesah: it seems the answer is yes

mstrcnvs that's what I figured. I've used Flask for one other project and thought I would try it here. The first time it was basically to add a dashboard to some scripts I had already written. It's internal and didn't need users or sessions or anything. Seems like I need more for this one.

Thanks

deesah: do you need apples or oranges?

That's the problem...I didn't really know until I started. I was overthinking it and then decided just to start somewhere. Now I'm rethinking that decision.

Seems like Django is the better choice here though. Thanks

deesah: I've worked lots with both; ime it's much easier to not use bits of Django that you don't need, than to bolt on bits of Flask that you do

deesah: (so I only go with Flask where I know I'll be doing something fairly minimal)

Thank you Maior. Tha'ts helpful.

mstrcnvs could you please take a look and see if I've missed anything? :) https://gist.github.com/KyeRussell/87e8abe1ff66...

I'm using CBV's and form factory, is it normal for the fields to be displayed grouped together 3 times?

Or did I miss a setting?

How can i filter objects in model Person using relationship with other models: http://pastebin.com/k6kDFFFy

can i override a attribute of a model in model instead of just sending the data from database?

meisth0th: Yeah, you could temporarily override an attribute and it will stay till the render is done, but it won't stick unless you save it.

joshfinnie: no no, i just want to return a default value if it's None for example

joshuajonah: ^

joshfinnie: sorry for highlighting

meisth0th: Yeah, then that's what you'll get

joshuajonah: how can i accomplish this?

meisth0th: I don't understand what you want.

I have a model User let's say, and i have a attr name. i want to display 'John Doe' when i use user.name in template if user's name field is empty.

i tried defining a method named 'name' in model and checking self.name in it, but i get infinite recursion there

Well, if it's not a required field, then it will show the default. If you use an actual database default, it will put "John Doe" in the database, otherwise, you must do a boolean check for a value and display John Doe
