CapnKernel: you there?

trewq, eval can only evaluate expressions and assignment is a statement

trewq, just stop wanting to do that

I previously typed `sudo -u postgres createuser admin` into a prompt

and the password for the user is: password

within the django project, i type `python manage.py syncdb` and the error received is this: django.db.utils.OperationalError: FATAL: role "vagrant" does not exist

do I need to create a role for the admin user?

morning guys... a quick question: how do i differ STATIC_ROOT from STATICFILES_DIRS? I don't quite get the difference between them

okay, so within the tutorial/settings.py, I put 'USER': 'admin', 'PASSWORD' and it is now complaining that it can't auth for the user

ewilazarus: STATIC_ROOT is where your static files will be collected to, STATICFILES_DIRS, is where your static files will be collected *from*

other than app static dirs, which are automatically discovered

so i have this simple view https://dpaste.de/NNYo how can i validate users click like only one time.. guess a good way would be via ip address

is the user logged in?

if so, you could create a PropertyLike model, that would record the user who liked

then before creating another like, you would check if the user already liked it

or likes could be an M2M to User

so it would be properties.likes.add(request.user)

and properties.likes.count() to get the amount of likes

mstrcnvs: yes but the idea was to let even anonymous users to hit like

you would need to record somewhere, even if its only the IP address

but going by IP address will kill people with NATd connections

like most workplaces, homes, etc

hi all. i'm using django and angular js for a refreshless website (not using djangular, not the best aproach for my project).

the first task would be login the user. but after login(user) (the login request comes as ajax) i dont't have a user loged in , no session started

is there anything i need to pass in the request (read sessionid from the cookies, for example)?

FunkyBob: what would be a good approach for this?

depends on how strict you want to be

DebianTUX: I think you'll find the common term is "Single Page App", not refreshless

the website is completely mvvm, a static folder containing the angular application and json request/response

FunkyBob: yes, sorry, not finding the english words, a bit tired here

DebianTUX: so the response from the login is workin?

yes

that's ok... I think 'refreshless' is a good word :)

yeah. it's refreshless, there are only local routes in angular application

I did a SPA recently using knockout/sammy

well i just dont want to have a user hitting 23423424 likes

adam_293: I mean, you could drop a cookie... but people could clear it

you oculd set a value in their session, but they could clear the session cookie

FunkyBob: did you pass the django cookies in the javascript request? it's my first time in mvvm

DebianTUX: are you sure you're retaining and passing the CSRF token? is the session token persisting?

FunkyBob: i've disabled the csrf for this view. not expecting to use it for now. the session token is not persisting

FunkyBob: i wouldn't like to do the django first request bootstrap, i mean, it should come from the static content in the first place. don't know if this is the best approach actualy, but we are using a proprietary angularjs template, project requirement

FunkyBob: it would be very traumatic to integrate this template with django. lots of grunt and bower dependencies

no, you shouldn't be getting django cookies from static content

DebianTUX: heh... I wonder if my django-amn would help :)

FunkyBob: well, if you could send me, that counldn't hurt :P

FunkyBob: ensure_csrf_cookie could help me, do you think?

i could set $http.defaults.headers.post['X-CSRFToken'] = $cookies.csrftoken;

DebianTUX: yes, I used ensure_csrf_cookie on my index page

FunkyBob: testing it right now

FunkyBob: my doubt is: i didn't set a cookie for the first time i requested login page. so, there is no csrf to be sent, right? don't think that would work

FunkyBob: damn, my grunt server takes SO LONG to run...

guys

do you have separate projects for production / dev?

DebianTUX: are any of your pages being served by django?

or rather, should I do that?

argoneus: no, but I have separate settings files

FunkyBob: what if you are updating layout?

doesn't it get messy?

I just don't really understand how I'm supposed to do it

since on dev I'd rather use runserver and on production I'd rather use apache

+ maybe I am changing templates etc

I just don't understand how to do it as one project

FunkyBob: no, no pages served by django, only json post responses

argoneus: you're not developing on your production server, are you?

well, no, but I'd like it to be as easy as just hg pull

yeah...

I'm confused

why would this require two projects?

instead of just two checkouts of the repo
