Lina_peter: on stack overflow there are plenty of example on manipulating dates

mattmcc: do you have an example so I will catch that difference later when reading the materials?

stack: I tried this but it doesn't working https://dpaste.de/qDuM

Lina_peter: yikes - do it in your model rather than javascript

stack: Eh, I think if you just read through Haystack's docs, you'll see what it can & can't do.

mattmcc: sure

SmileyChris: but it varies for different row in a table , so can i implement all the condition in models

mattmcc: I was hoping of some sort of revelation :)

*in

Lina_peter: how does it vary?

SmileyChris: I depend on a field money, if money = 1 , then increment time by 1 hour, money = 2 then increment time by 2 hour

stack: easy-images is in a workable alpha state btw

SmileyChris: oh you remembered!

SmileyChris: there is a fixed set of money

Lina_peter: so it's still a calculation based on the model instance's data

SmileyChris: if you have some way to download I will try that

SmileyChris: ok nevermind I found the repo :)

stack: only 95% test coverage, you can help with the 5% :P

what is celery daemon?

SmileyChris: so I try to log in with django-oscar and it does this No module named auth_backcends <-- I have issues with packages when a basic type-o is first thing I see

umm nevermind, was my type o

whats the best flow for uploading and transcoding a vid? Should I even save the pretranscoded vid to the database?

youtube or vimeo :-)

rmwdeveloper: you'd never save a video in the database

+apollo13: i mean, save it to the media directory

well sure, what else would you do with it, keep it in memory?

im not sure lol

but anyways, I wouldn't use a django process for video uploads

its not bad to save if even though you're just going to delete it a few seconds later?

what would you use?

transcoding in seconds? how small are those videos

less than 50mb

right now im using celery and ffmpeg

well either way, tools like ffmpeg will probably be happier if it is on the fs

alright cool thank you

+apollo13: thankyou

I’ve done it, and the overhead is just too high to be worth it.

Hi, I'm using intermediary models. So i need to override my modelform from foreignkey to manytomany field. Can somebody please guide me

if i have a form called ModelCreateForm()

and i want to allow users to edit the model

shall i just reuse that form

and rename it from Create to just ModelForm()

(Model should be replaced with the actual model name obviously)

limbera: yes, its generally a good idea to reuse the same form for both creating and updating.

anyone can help me with celery? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/29355613/run...

(I already asked in celery channel)

whats the best way to put a flag on a model, for example whether a video needs to be transcoded, just a BooleanField on the model itself?

rmwdeveloper: sounds reasonable

limbera: thanks

Diegao: Interesting question. This has always been one of the big questions around the canvas stuff that I just don't understand. How failures are supposed to be handled in general

sure
