#django

It seems like any complex site would need quite a few e.g. translation (https://github.com/azman0101/django-modeltransl...), versioning (https://github.com/etianen/django-reversion) etc.

In a template, I have a list of objects, where each object has a "name" and a "group". The list is sorted by group. Is there any way in my django template for loop iteration to determine when the group changes? Basically, I'd like to add an alternating css class whenever the group changes.

jnormandeau: i suppose you could mix them all in e.g. MyAdmin(DjangoReversionAdmin, etc.)

doughj3: {% ifchanged obj.group %}

Oh man that's awesome

Thanks, knbk!

aclark: Will that work if they override the same methods?

jnormandeau: probably not

I mean, no idea really. I would try it and see.

hey guys, any article on the web or some best practices for handling large models with columns that have lots of choices ?

How could I easily let someone view my django site if I can't open ports? I do have a VPS

hmm, does anyone have much experience using django-gears? i'm getting a python3 syntax error, but as best I can tell, this is supposed to be supported for python3. does anyone know for sure if it's supposed to run on python3?

drinkie: posting the error may help. also, thanks for the heads up about gears; i was previously unaware of it

(i've been using a client-side framework, ember.js, which features a pipeline for compiling assets. i was wondering if a similar thing existed for django, but hadn't been sufficiently motivated to look.)

Hello

diptherial: it's a standard syntax error, i've tracked it down to line 16 here: https://github.com/gears/django-gears/blob/deve...

PyCharm recognizes it as syntax not supported by Python 3.4

that alone would make me think no one has put any effort into python 3 compatbiltiy.

Failing travis build is not encouraging, etither: https://github.com/gears/django-gears

Personally, I wouldn’t touch it.

I would use something like django compressor, if I wanted that stuff done server-side

well, i'm actually more after the integrated coffeescript compilation and just saw that as a bonus

would you happen to have a recommended alternative for that feature?

most people like server-side compilation. Me, I prefer client-side using codekit or grunt or something.

drinkie: since you're using pycharm, you could use a file watcher to perform the transpilation locally

or what tbaxter suggested, too (same thing, just not automatically done in the IDE)

thanks for the suggestions - i'll look into these

If I override the save() method on a model, can I pass additional arguments as flags

def save(self, force_insert=False, force_update=False, using=None, update_fields=None):

say I need a flag like dont_recalc_totals = True

hi, can someone point me in the right direction for using a ForeignKey on a model, but not returning every version of that model saved to the database? I think django-cms saved a new ID for each revision I’ve made and I’d like to just return the newest revision

getting performance issues with taggit similar_objects, anybody encountered this?

I have UserProfile model which has a foreign key to Django's User model.

How can I do prefetching in User.objects.all()?

right now it is doing one query for each user instead of optimizing them

Fervicus: User.objects.prefetch_related(UserProfile), or something like that

Fervicus: check the docs. i cannot remember the details.

you need to use the related query name, probably prefetch_related('userprofile')

I have a presentation on gevent in a few hours

haven't started the first slide
