nedbat: how is your TEMPLATE_DIRS?

nedbat: you mean in the comment?

mstrcnvs: this isn't about a specific settings file, I was wondering about the note in the docs.

it’s saying “don’t do cd:\hey\man

"

basically

to windows users not to hardcode paths

ghostmoth: yes, but why?

because it needs to be architechture independent

thats a really good question, since os.path is x-platform

os.path already is

ghostmoth: why does it need to be? If i only deploy on windows, can I use a windows path?

i’m not sure, it probably doesn’t matter since it uses os

it might just be reinforcing convention, but i don’t know

when you create a new row of a model that has a ManyToManyRelation with one or more existing rows, is it not supposed to "just work" when you save (with commit=True)? it seems to me that the relations are not created at all

to be specific, I have a Language table, and on user creation one or more language must be selected for the new user

Ose: you need to save the user first, then to assign relations to it, is that is your problem?

mstrcnvs: is there no automation of that at all?

yo how do i use a second db using filter

Ose: which type of automation?

like Ban.objects.filter(ipaddr=ipaddr, time__gte=datetime.date.today() with another database selected that i have synced

Hello all,

I have just configured postgres with Django

I am able to run postgres with command as

psql -h 127.0.0.1 -p 5432 -U postgres

but when I connect via django

it says

django.db.utils.OperationalError: could not connect to server: Connection refused

Is the server running on host "localhost" (127.0.0.1) and accepting

TCP/IP connections on port 5342?

gaganjyot: your port is 5432, you need to specify that on your connection settings

django is trying to connect on port 5342

thats so silly of me :P

mstrcnvs, thankyou very much :)

mstrcnvs: the ModelForm that is submitted has all the information needed to, in one transaction, first create the User row, then create the relations between the new User and the Language rows. But it does not do that, if I understand correctly?

Ose: can you paste your code please, and if present, a traceback

k nathanhi

how the hell do i run a query on my second database

b2 = Ban.objects.using("tinyboard").get(ipaddr="05060504", time__gte=datetime.date.today())

why does this run on the default one and not tinyboard

trick2g: how is your DATABASES settings?

mstrcnvs: http://pastebin.com/7ZJ18ivG

trick2g: how are you so sure the query is running on the default database?

because it returns the field names of the ..ban object..wait a minute

the ban object is a model which is my original database..

so how the HELL do i run a query then

anyone use pycharm?

sometimes ^^

you happen to use Jira?

Is anyone here using fixtures heavily in their testing?

can anybody tell me how login through facebook or linked in would be implemented in python django ?

absaid_sud: take a look at python-social-auth

or allauth

I am trying to implement a method through which i can track redirections from other domains so that i can give them discounts. Is there any package in django for that or is it done by some manual coding?

absai_sud: a google search for 'django track referrers' brings up four relevant links at the top of the list.

absai_sud: just be aware that any user can fake those referers and do as if he was coming from a domain you want to give discounts for

absai_sud: It's also easy to implement a simple method if you can give different URLs (or URLs with different GET params) for each discount.

absai_sud: please keep it in here so others can answer too

any clue to circumvent such case? I think i should first get a minimal method working before asking further question still some suggestion will helpful

na, the user can always fake that header

hello there,

I was using the django auth system for registeration and login purposes
