this might just be my misunderstanding of decorators...but I am adding a custom decorator to a view function and made a reference to 'request.user.username'. However, I get the error "global name 'request' is not defined"

toothe: you'll need to paste your decorator and view

sure, pardon

The decorator is this: http://dpaste.com/2NKYKSF

the decorator is literally just "@check_Permission"

toothe: your validate function doesn't take a request argument, so of course it's not defined

toothe: There are already decorators for checking if a user has a specific permission.

and what's with that capitazilation? :P

it doesn't inherit that variable?

toothe: inherit it from where?

schinckel: yse, but I plan to do something unique

SmileyChris: nevermind...

so, I need to pass the request variable to the decorator?

when i do heroku open i get: /usr/local/heroku/lib/heroku/helpers.rb:93: warning: Insecure world writable dir /home/d0ng/local/bin in PATH, mode 040777

ie @check_Permission(request=request)

toothe: it's the receiving end that's the problem

atm, it'd be args[0]

you need to explicitly specify it in your definition if you want it

hm...

so, hw does this decorator get the request variable? https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/topics/au...

yo?

this channel is usually a lot more active.

is there a setting that will allow for non-unique email addresses in django.contrib.auth.models.User?

does anyone have any experince with python-social-auth?

jwhite007: Provide your own AUTH_USER_MODEL that makes it optional

im able to login with tiwtter, it writes the user to the db and populates the password field, but how to do I login with that user thereafter. and after login and redirect request.user is AnonymousUser

okay, why does the decorator not get the request variable?

monokrome: ok. thanks. i thought there might be something that i could add to settings.py.

because Django's decorators seem to have access to the request variable.

SmileyChris: I'm still confused, it works in my sample code.

SmileyChris: when I pass a function, the decorator is able to get it.

I don't get this, why is request not defined.

how does the source do it then

how in the world did this variable come into scope?

in the Django source?

toothe: decorators return a callable... so you can define an inner function that gets request

so like, def inner(request): ?

let me write an example thing

please...

Hi all. I just created a ticket https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/23728 that I would like to discuss with developers

tim_heap: makes sense to me... have you attempted a patch?

I have not, but looking at the code a patch would be easy

I am just unsure of what approach to take regarding enabling the functionality

josePhoenix: what does __doc__ do?

FunkyBob: I've listed a few options on the ticket

indeed

hi can I get support here

well, you should probably flag the discussion in #django-dev and/or the django-develop mailing list

jcvfen: very likely

FunkyBob: have you used social auth? having issues and not really finding much googling around

nownot: I take issue with social auth quite often :P

well balls

im stuck here http://i.imgur.com/FZTkO8c.jpg?1

jcvfen: I don't know where you learned to pass locals() as your context... but stop it.

[I suspect you've been reading "The Django Book"]

no

also, why is the "thankyou" view nested in the home view?

jcvfen: ok, well, tell them to stop teaching bad habits.

also... django.shortcuts.render will save you having to bother with RequestContext / render_to_response

toothe: that line preserves the docstring of the function (my toy functions have no docstrings, though)

the root of your problem is most likely there's an error importing your signup.views module

toothe: for more info http://legacy.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0257/

jcvfen: run "manage.py shell" and then type "frim signup import views" ... what does it show?

>>> from signups import views

/home/vv/skillshare/src/signups/forms.py:5: RemovedInDjango18Warning: Creating a ModelForm without either the 'fields' attribute or the 'exclude' attribute is deprecated - form SignUpForm needs updating

class SignUpForm(forms.ModelForm):

FunkyBob: jesus you're right

thankyou is not suppose to be nested
