haha ok

massacr3: it covers how to build a blog with entries listing / linking

name sounds funny though

thanks mate

should I create the .gitignore in my project root? That's what it says so that's what I am doing.

I have built my API using DRF. Now, I'm working on integrating Angular. How do I switch the URL routing from django's to Angular's routes.js???

ilhami: yes.

and should the requirements.txt also be in the project root?

ilhami: yes. alongside with manage.py

ilhami: you can try looking at some django cookiecutter templates and see how they lay out their project

hello django-users, is there any library or django-app that works like django runserver but made to simulate slow connections?

luzfcb: I'd suggest an independent tool

like CharlesProxy or Slowy.app or iptables/pf settings etc.

yeah .gitignore and requirements.txt should be alongside manage.py

right?

i.e. you run runserver as usual, and use *something else* for slowness

ilhami: I suppose that is the root of your project and where you are going to init a git repo, yes.

doismellburning: thanks for suggestions

I initted the git repo in the virtualenv.

I guess that was a bad idea.

in the virtualenv dir*

ilhama: yeah. you don't need to upload ur venv, thats why you have requirements.txt

hey guys...can i do a self.save(commit=False) in a Model object save method? I'm trying to generate a string from existing field values

drvid: sounds like you'd create a loop

luzfcb: (you may have reasons for wanting it all-in-one, I just can't help you much there sorry!)

nkuttler: i've used this technique on modelforms to save m2m objects.... is this only to be used in a form save method?

drvid: aren't those fields already set when you enter save()?

the ones you need to generate the string

nkuttler: no they are hidden from the user

i mean, the string i am generated isnt set, but the other field values i am deriving the string from would be yes

generating*

they are FK fields

suppose i dont need commit=false for FK stuff anyways

Bin4ry: but should I need to upload my .git folder?

because that's in my virtualenv

is it ok that it is in my virtualenv? I would like appreciate to see a cookiecutter template for django

E: Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/r/re... Could not resolve 'archive.ubuntu.com'

what

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.9/topics/pa... Okay, if I can do queryset.paginator.count to get the total count in my template, should I be doing queryset.paginator.page.start_index to get the start? I've tried that, queryset.page.start_index and just simply start_index and none are outputting anything ._.

I feel like this should really be super simple and I'm just not getting it to work.

Eugh it was queryset.start_index

does anyone have experience with multi table inheritance and Django rest framework serializers

jordan87: yes

well perhaps - what is multitable inheritance

I use something like but not exactly Generic Relations

cnk: http://pastebin.com/r99HgK30

those are my models in question

basically a timeline has 0 to many TimelineItems

but they are different types

OK

so when serializing, I wanted to include the fields on the submodels

TimeLineItem is not abstract?

so you are doing joins for every access of move or scale?

cnk: hrm. technically it could be abstract

for performance you probably want it to be

but that isn't your question

please show me how you have timeline associated with timelineitems

(or rather it's subclasses)

are you using Django's Generic Relation?

cnk: these rest endpoints are going ot be accessed 2-3 times a day. so performance isn't a big concern

im not, but I probably could be

if so, there is a plugin for DRF that does this

I don't use that because I dont want to go through the contentypes framework

So you don't need GR to do what you want to do

but you need a method that is a case statment

so you can go from timeline to items - and the items method sorts out what that should really be

cnk: http://pastebin.com/L5BEhW8y

So, in your TimelineSerializer you want ot include the items - in whatever type they are

is that the question?

I tried with: http://pastebin.com/ngsdK1Nn

this just included the parent "timelineItem" fields

I also tried with: http://pastebin.com/13YH03yu

but that does the same. and I realize this is probably because the relationships now is that TimelineItem has a 1 to 1 relationship to each of the submodels

hmmmm for the second one, I would hve either expected to hit the raise OR get what you wanted

do the individual serializers give what you want?

cnk: it seems the individual serializers aren't called

e.g. if you look at serialization of one Zoom

actually you can serialize different model instances at same time.

When you call Timeline.items - what are the classes of the items?

I suspect all are TimelineItem, not Move or Alpha, etc

correct

jordan87: the way you have this modeled, I think it is going to be hard to get to the extra data
