Hello! When I want to make a new record in the DB by doing ModelName.objects.create(), is there a way I can immediately get the primary key of the new record?

snollux: It's returned with an object from create call.

snollux: obj = ModelName.objects.create() and then obj contains your newly created object.

wonderful!

thanks jtiai

I bet it was documented as well... :)

pfft, who reads that stuff

haha fair enough

i've been justly rtfm'd

Is it possible to use list_display on an Article object

and when you click on each object to edit in Admin, it display the editing fields of the child class?

targetron: Well, when you click on an object in the list page it takes you to the edit page.

is the edit page customize for each child class?

Yes.

:D

Thanks!

You can edit both the form fields and the template for a given model's change page.

phew that makes my life uch easier

I thought i had to write custom list displays

list_display is just for controlling which fields appear on the list page.

For managing which fields appear in the form, see https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/ref/contr... or https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/ref/contr...

Hello guys. I have a question. makemigrations command with no argument won't create 0001_initial.py file when apps hasnt 'migrations' directory...?

Ill create directory and initial migration file when I specify the app name to migrate.

hirokiky: have you got any output ?

that nothing changed or sth ?

btw you should give app name argument

kuter: It will say 'No changed detected'.

fmm.. I know. but theres a tons of app..

Actually I solved this problem by using 'apps.get_apps()' and little of one-liner.

hirokiky: Not sure what your question is.

honestly: so you must have migrations directory

you need to register apps in installed apps to register them with migrations

skyrz: there are widgets in meta class but they don't support foreignkey/m2m conversoin

Well, it needs to be a Python module, not just a directory. So you need app/migrations/__init__.py for makemigrations to pay attention to your app.

mattmcc: yeah, sorry. just I want to know it's correct behavior or bug.

Hi, I'm using intermediary models. So i need to customise my modelform from foreignkey to manytomany field.

any help

fleetfox: Yes. I registered them. but it wont detect (if the app hasnt 'migrations' directory')

hirokiky: Yeah, that's how migrations determines it should check your app.

mattmcc: you mean.. makemigrations command determines by checking 'migrations' directory is there or not.

Not just the directory, it also needs to have the __init__.py in it to make it a Python module.

fmm. thinking about it. ..my question doesnt make sence.

oh. you are right.

module.

ok guys. I got it. thanks for your answers.

i have a {% block %} inside an {% if %}; this block is only supposed to be overidden if the if evaluates to true, but it gets overridden regardless

aha

Yeah, that doesn't work.

The template engine doesn't know how to conditionally define blocks. So instead, just move your conditions inside the blocks.

turns out if i test on {% if user.is_authenticated %} it doesnt work, but if i test on {% if user.username %}, it works

yeah, I've always found it odd that that isn't supported, even though the admin does it.

Does it?

yeah, has done for as long as I can remember

mattmcc: yea

mattmcc: I did move the condition inside the block though, didnt work but checking on the username did

Huh.

yep

Hello, should I submit an issue: https://gist.github.com/benjaminrigaud/e646f51e... ?

Hello. I want to add extra option to user object when user logs in. Can i do "request.user.something = 1" ?

klusias: You can add things to the user's session.

Ben0: if that's a fair representation of your code, I'd be inclined to say it could be a regression and should be filed.

Ben0: if you can create a test case that passes under 1.7 and fails under 1.8, all the better.

I could try, I did a sandbox project to reproduce the issue.

a small project with which to reproduce it would also be better than nothing, I suspect :)

ok :)
