ah, thank you.

man I can't figure this out at all...

HI just a quick question: is it possible to set a variable on an abstract model and override it in the concrete derived model? I'm trying to set a foreign key and really can't figure out how to do it

actually i guess it's not really possible, I mean it's not django actually serving the static files

bee_keeper: That's what i was looking for exactly

thanks

hello, what would be the best way to work with audio files? I want to be able to take an audio file and minipulate the data: cutting it up, effects, manipulate it.

^0ef2387: that doesn't seem to be a django related question

eh python ish?

^0ef2387: Presumably you'd be looking for some sox binding for Python. Looks like there's a few. (though yeah, it's more a Python question than Django)

sekhmet: thanks, ill look more into sox bindings

I want to build some sort of business intellegence dashboard. Would django be a good thing for that?

gyyrog: potentially, although 'business intelligence dashboard' is pretty vague

Yeah, I want to set up a series of graphs based off of queries to an mssql db

I will probably need different views for different "roles"

My CEO likes pretty things, so shiny graphs will be important

JS has lots of good stuff for that though

mssql?

The application server that the company is bassed off of is mssql

It is a practice managment software (we are a change of dental clinics)

question: does this translate to "as long as there is nothing in this part of the URL, proceed...in this case to the index? urlpatterns = patterns('', url(r'^$', views.index, name='index'))

phlacin: yes

matches an empty string

halleluja!!!! i figured it out!!!!!! FINALLY.

for a n00b, that was a tough thing to wrap my brain around

based on how everyone was trying to explain it to me

anyone here used django-dash?

Guys

I got a dilemna i wanna solve

i want to seperate my django app in 2 parts

one part which would be a front end, and would only be the user interaction with interface

and the other the core which would be handling data and doing tricky stuff

the engineers developping on the front end would only be able to see the code of the front end, not the core

so you want models, views and templates, and you want the front end people to only see the templates.

any idea of how to do that without using HTTP REST API which would be very heavy given the complexity of the interfaces that have to be generated

tbaxter, i need the dev to only see templates, and views.py

not models, and other complex function

derka: your front end people don’t need to see views.py either

this is how django was architected from day one. front end devs can work iin templates and not touch the rest.

they do because the web interfaces are very complex, it is reporting and provisionning software

no, they don’t. There is no reason why anyone working in a template needs to look at the view. They only need to know what context is being returned.

Hello #django.

which they can know any number of ways.

so most poeple would just have a gentlemen’s agreement, to stay the hell out of anything ending in .py, but you could simply put your templates somewhere different.

there are some complex provisionning stuff to be done under the hood and handled by the front end engineer, so he still need access to views.py

derka: either you trust him to alter views.py or you don’t. Which is it?

i dont trust

this is very sensitive data that sit in the models
