different forms to different views

tbaxter: http://dpaste.com/2GFC0V3

the second view doesn't need to do anything other than get the data, process it and then redirect it to the same next view

realnot_, exactly like you have it right now

pembo13, this is a huge pain in the ass

Audioburn: what are you trying to accomplish, and what problems are you having?

pembo13, same thing, quering a GFK

querying*

and what's happen (or not) ?

DarkSector: but different view mean also different urls

yes

just point the action of the form to the other url

Can anybody help me out with an ORM issue that's breaking my brain? My goal is in a comment at the bottom: https://dpaste.de/GRgv

pembo13, I guess I need to work on understanding ContentType -- with that link I posted, I tried just copying and pasting and replacing things, which did not work

pembo13, i.e context['reviews_for_user'] = Review.objects.filter(content_type=ContentType.objects.get_for_model(reviewed_i

for the first form /partner/slug/contact for the second form: /partner/slug/order and both render the contact.html template?

...tem))

Audioburn: i'll need dpaste of models and offending code

realnot_: you’re already sending the form posts to two different URLs, are they different views, too?

realnot_: forget rendering. Processing.

most likely, the view will just process and redirect

tbaxter: right now yes, because i tried to follow your suggestion of ths afternoon

good

pembo13, models : https://github.com/bitmazk/django-review/blob/m... offending? code: https://dpaste.de/uheq

so, just have the view do it’s work and save the form.

i get that reviewed_item is not defined, but I don't know what the "get_for_model" parameter should be

reading contenttype docs atm

tbaxter, or have the form do the saving and just have a formview use that form

I have loaded data in the database using fixture and now I want to add more records to that data. whats the best way to do it? shall i update the initial_data.json to have more records or shall I create a new json file with only the additional records?

pembo13, also that tab shouldn't be there, just a typo

ybathia, overwrite the old one

tbaxter: but the second view, doesn't works, i can receive all the POST data, but the validation doesn't pass, and i don't know why (all field are filled)

dumpdata again

Audioburn: you'll want a dbindex on object_id by the wya

way*

realnot_, you see, that's a separate issue. Post your view/form for that

DarkSector: Thanks a lot sir

tbaxter: aaaa i got it!

pembo13, dbindex?

and why?

tbaxter: i use 2 view to save the data in the database and 1 view to render the template :D

?

right

Audioburn: you'll likely be doing queries against it at some point

like now

tbaxter: coool

Audioburn: what error(s) are you getting

although you CAN let one view carry both the rendering and processing one view, if that makes more sense

Audioburn: you're not querying against it yet

oh ok and sec

tbaxter: is better?

DarkSector: yes, i'll try to write the tbaxter solution, then we can debug the view

coolio

tbaxter, DarkSector thank you guys

yw

Any takers for my confusion?

TheJoey, I looked at it, but I don't know enough about GenericRelation to give advice

Does anyone know a good room for security best practices?

tylerea, security for django? or for web in general?

DarkSector: In theory, in this case, it should be functionally equivalent to the far end of a ForeignKey

locking down a server in general

##networking

should help

thanks DarkSector

TheJoey, what about limit to

limit_choices_to

hi, is there some method to check where is_valid fails?

gyani, just return the errors with the context

you'll know what the problem is in the template

DarkSector: I need this for just one query though, not for the model as a whole. :-/

ohj

My end goal is to calculate distance based on a geo point on the Address model

Right now I have to build that query by hand, which is just disgusting

TheJoey, could you paste that link again? I can't seem to find it

DarkSector: new to django, i'll try to figure that out

gyani, https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/topics/fo...

pembo13, i got it to work \o/

thanks!

TheJoey, shouldn't values_list help here?

Audioburn: great, what was the problem?

basically get the values_list for the address and then filter Merchant according to that

in get_for_model(parameter), parameter needed to be defined as the model that the GFK was ultimately referencing, which in my case was the user model being reviewed

cool

Hmmm I'm not sure I follow, DarkSector.

TheJoey, create a values_list of Address with the filter address_type=TYPE_PHYSICAL

then use that list to filter merchants

Merchant.objects.filter(addresses__in=Address.objects.filter(address_type=TYPE_PHYSICAL).values_list('pk', flat=True)) Then use annotate however you want I imagine

Audioburn: the good news is you’re learning some of the reasons GFKs suck

DarkSector: I don't think that will be able to give me what I'm looking for ultimately. I need to be able to do: Merchant.objects.annotate(physical_address=...), so that I can do: Merchant.objects.annotate(physical_address=..., distance=Distance(F('physical_address__location'), Point(...)))

tbaxter, ha yea no kidding

TheJoey, can you not annotate a queryset?

oh right you can't

because django does it for all()

TheJoey, relevant http://timmyomahony.com/blog/filtering-annotati...

but yeah, that's a custom query like you said

Damn, I was hoping I could eliminate the custom SQL. I barely understand how it's working.. which bothers me. :-/

Well at least I'm not using .extra(). So at least there's that. :)

I am planning to use django for information retrieval from amazon web service. I have to make use of amazon WSDL ( http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSECommerceService/... ) somehow. Can somebody give an overview how I can use WSDL-file for information retrieval from amazon web service?

ircnode0, isn't that soap

soaplib is a good lib for that stuff
