hello shangxiao

ramsub08, probably a dict

hi, how can i assign new foreignkey 'article' to existing 'reporter'??

reporter = Reporters.objects.filter(id=2) | article = Articles(title='test',reporter=reporter) | article.save()

i get an error when trying to put an object 'reporter=reporter'

What’s the best way to handle email confirmation? Specifically, the email column in my user table has unique=True, so I want to make sure someone can’t create an account using someone else’s email and then prevent them from creating an account. (Or should I just let the user whose email it actually is do a password_reset to log into the account and then delete the account or whatever.)

you're going to have to give us the error

infinitesum: send them an email with a link with some random unique string, write a view that handles it and sets is_active on your user

Is it possible to do force case insensitive uniqueness on a charfield? So that if I try to add 'Blah' when 'blah' already is added, an exception is thrown?

sjk: write a validator?

knyght: Interesting, do you happen to know if Django Rest Framework respects is_active when validating auth tokens?

(or rather, when giving them out.)

hello guys, I have a form in a page and I'm handling it in a view(method A). If a special case occurs, the method A will do a HTTPResponseRedirect("URL B"). URL B has method B in view. will I be able to check if the form is valid or not ?

infinitesum: not sure offhand

oh it looks like jpadilla just updated it a week ago… nice!

Knyght: is it possible to have the validator simply lowercase the data and add it transparently?

infinitesum: I took a look at the source, looks like it respects is_active

knyght: thanks

sjk: no, but you can do that in your save() method

Evening guys

I'm getting an error when running migrations live (this wasn't an issue on local)

is there a way to split a DateTimeField into day hour minutes in a modelform ?

hydraidm801: you probably want a javascript solution

I suppose you could probably do it, but you'd have to make a widget and deal with all that stuff

cause DateTimeField is a pretty useless field in a rendered template

who knows how to input the correct format. Sanitization is non existant

hydraidm801: this might be of some use: https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/dj...

but I would recommend just using some javascript

Knyght: just on ready remove the field and split it then just join the values on submit

hydraidm801: I'm sure you can find something ready made. like jquery datepicker but for times

you could also use the one from the django admin if you wanted

how do I do that? the one for the admin is fine

Is there any difference between .filter(field=None) & .filter(field__isnull=True)?

hydraidm801: it's awkward: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/38601/using-...

Knyght: oh thats not that bad

Knyght: I'll try that. Thanks

it's much easier imo just to use some random jquery time picker

I'm just worried about validation. I would assume the admin widget would get the format right

Oh I didn't see all the stuff about internationalization and urls. Yikes that is pretty awkward. jQuery UI it is.

hello guys, I have a form in a page and I'm handling it in a view(method A). If a special case occurs, the method A will do a HTTPResponseRedirect("URL B"). URL B has method B in view. will I be able to check if the form is valid or not ?

Hey guys, does anyone know how I can drop one column from a table without resetting data?

Boogymanx: reseting the data ? you mean without disturbing the table ?

ramsub08: Without having to remove all the data on that specific model

Boogymanx: Idk if I'm interpreting it correctly, but from what you say, drop the column from the database using whatever SQL you've, remove that from your model, run migrate

Boogymanx: remove the field from the model, run makemigrations & migrate

no need to manually run any SQL, that would just complicate things

Well, the problem I'm having is that even if I remove it, I still have a flawed migration

knbk: I'm new here, sorry about that !

Boogymanx: ^

No worries :)

how is it flawed?

I had a conversion error, but I just removed the latest two migrations of that app and ran makemigrations again

that fixed it

I just hope that I can now properly use FilerFileField

because that's kinda crucial :p

Does anyone know what "Could not import 'password_reset_complete'. The path must be fully qualified." means? My app is a 1:1 copy of http://musings.tinbrain.net/blog/2014/sep/21/re... and I'm getting errors after submitting my email on /register/

knbk: I have a form in a page and I'm handling it in a view(method A). If a special case occurs, the method A will do a HTTPResponseRedirect("URL B"). URL B has method B in view. will I be able to check if the form is valid or not ?

In fact it looks like all calls to anything that generates a URL ({% url %} template tag, redirect(), etc) fail with that error. What gives? :(

oh css

css L(

*:(

pretty much

this has nothing to do with django, but what would you call the things that denote a list, the bullets or numbers?

list... specifiers?

jessamynsmith Indicators?

indicator seems a better word

maybe as a designer

thank you

I'm there there's a typographical word

I'm trying to name a css class

**ask a designer

:)

it doesn't have to be perfect, just reasonable

CSS calls them markers, iirc.

oh!

thanks mattmcc :)

this is the most helpful channel :)

Hey guys! I am planning to make a simple way to keep track of my grades. I just have one question. I will be having classes, and then each class will have grades attached to it (10/10, 15/20, etc). I was wondering if I should make two different apps, one for grades, and one for classes, or just stick it all in one app?

nahtnam: all in one app

doismellburning: Kk. TY. So would the app just be called classes? (Im a total n00b at django and im having trouble understanding what is classified as an app).

nahtnam: understandable

nahtnam: it's blurry, but generally, "broad groupings of functionality"

hi! in my tests, reversing an url takes 400ms in one case. subsequent reversings of the same url still take 100ms. to me that sounds horribly slow. is there anything i might have done wrong?

nahtnam :: basically it's arbitrary. It's a distinction for you

more than it's a distinction for the framework
