#django

and so far you've only told me 'that shouldn't work'

mekhami: more luck than anything, it makes an internal match

which isn't named, so django doesn't use it

mekhami: for further details, you're going to have to read up on regexp, you did not copy the examples from the docs properly however

pembo13: i see the error. I'm wondering why it worked with parens is all.

mekhami: might have worked with a single digit

oh sorry

it appeared to work with 10

will work with parents as it's a matching group

but it's unnecessary

vlt: well, it would kinda depend on where the string appears.

pembo13: Ok … say I have a company name that can occur in text string pulled out of the DB to be rendered in a template. Now I want to put this <span> around the company name. I’d have to put a .replace("company_name", "<span>company_name</span>") to every possible string object AND use |safe in the template.

tbaxter: ^

vlt: more or less, probably want to use a filter/tag for that though

vlt: easiest thing to do (aside from doing it in JS) would be a little find/replace filter

Yes, I’m an idiot. I think custom template tags are exactly for this purpose!

template filters, rather

What’s the difference?

vlt: filters are more like pipes.. tags are more like small functions

pembo13: Then a filter, right?

vlt: sounds best like a tag, might want to check that Django doesn't already have something you can use

could go either way.

Ok, thanks guys!

just out of curiosity, what's the span for?

tbaxter: Formatting the company name via CSS

formatting how, though?

tbaxter: i'm thinking like a search engine

highlighting search tersm

terms*

tbaxter: span.format_me { size: ...; color: ...; letter-spacing ....}

hi folks. long time no see

What is the equivalent of manage.py syncdb --all in 1.9?

manage.py migrate

c17r, doesn't work. I keep getting relation does not exist

poohbear82: `python manage makemigrations` first

pembo13, did that

vlt: yeah, I'm aware of CSS :-). Depending on what you're doing though, a span may not be right.

ok, paste traceback

tbaxter: Can you give an example of where a span is not right?

vlt: that really depends on what the formatting is

tbaxter: Are there HTML elements tha don’t allow <span> inside?

22:17:19 vlt | tbaxter: span.format_me { size: ...; color: ...; letter-spacing ....}

no. span is an inline element. it is allowable pretty much anywhere. It is, however, also a meaningless element.

and again, I'm quite familiar with CSS, thank you.

But for example, if you wanted the company name bolded, then you should use <b> (not <strong>).

tbaxter: I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to patronize you in any way. I’m 100% sure you’re way more familiar with CSS than I am.

pembo13, https://dpaste.de/NYPC

but it's really just a question of what exactly the formatting is.

poohbear82: that's a db engine error by the looks of ir

it*

pembo13, what does that mean?

tbaxter: I repeated that example because that’s pretty much it: size, color, letter-spacing.

ah. gotcha.

poohbear82: you need to identify the query triggering that error

pembo13, all i did was add a column to the model. Is there a way to do the migrations from scratch and recreate all tables?

i’m struggling with trying to set the “initial” on an unbound form field after the form is instantiated with an initial dict. i see an “initial” property on that field instance, and i can change it, but it doesn’t affect what the form renders out. Why is that?

poohbear82: you have a model named `q`?

poohbear82: did you run makemgirations after the addition

I did the makemigrations, i still get the same errors

i need something similar to syncdb in the old django

has anyone experience what appears to be some weird race conditions around passing object.ids to celery tasks and sometimes coming up with no mathcing query object?

btw, this is not my code, i inherited this nonsense lol

poohbear82: was a migration created for your new field/column?

fission6: usually happens when your send the task to celery before the transaction is commited

EvilDMP: sounded like you killed it today.

pembo13, since then i deleted the migrations folder and droped that table from the db. hoping to do migrations from scratch, but django apparently doens't have that capability anymore or doesn't want to do it

poohbear82: if you removed the migrations folder, `makemigrations` will regenerate it

was there ever consideration to make follow=True default on the django test client

pembo13, if it did I wouldn't be here :)

poohbear82: well it's suppose to that's the whole point of it, so you need to look to see what your missing

Hey everyone. I have a Django project which is needs to work together with Ruby Spree (Solidus). Solidus has a few end-points from which I can retreive data passed as JSON.

so you need to get that data, then do stuff with it?

Now, what I am hoping to do, is in python, to define a `Product` class, which behaves as if it was a normal Django Model

I am preparing something like a dashboard on django app. It does not have any model associated with it(it contains information about different models and their aggregations). Is there a generic class-based view I can use for this ?

guys can you suggest me best Django tutorial to lear .. ??

theslow1: take a look at this: https://github.com/mbylstra/django-wham

any clue? https://dpaste.de/SN9Y

titankiller: Probably don't even need a CBV.

tbaxter, thank you!

titankiller: i usually do that sort of thing with a plain old empty TemplateView and a bunch of template tags

sandeepsihari: do the official one first. then try a few others. It took me a few before I "got it"

that description is exactly what I was looking to do

sandeepsihari: definitely do the official one first. Then maybe the django-girls tutorial.

amcorreia, you've got a recursive import. use strings instead of importing the class. "assessment.Instruments" on your FK in forms.models

Anyone have some CSS designer recommendations? I have several pages done with basic bootstrap CSS, but it can be improved dramatically with a CSS designer.

cybo_, i'll try, thx
