Because ORM is completely detached from requests...

well somewhere the stuff that needs to be done must be passed to the ORM

could feasibly pass the request ID there too

Well how you plan to do that in admin for example?

does it sound like I have a plan for all this? :) I just know what I want to do, I don't yet know how to do it

Or 3rd party packages you may use? quite can of worms..

well the 3rd party packages and the admin still use the same ORM

it might not be possible to do what I want, but I hope it is :)

I think there isn't.

I am not ready to accept that, but when I've looked into it and made up my mind I will let the channel know what I found :)

You could still do the logging like django-devserver does with sql logger. I think that could work. But it's not logging on db level but bit higher level.

hi. how to get a model full path or another unique identifier for that model?

MJR_: What for?

jtiai: I'm trying to right a export generator and need a unique string so that user can select from a select list

MJR_: Select what?

jtiai: As fare as I see it I have a list of dict's now: [{'label': 'Counter1', 'data': 8}, {'label': 'Counter2', 'data': 9}, {'label': 'Counter3', 'data': 5}, {'label': 'Counter4', 'data': 15}] and these I want to turn into a single dict. Tried "data_dict = {item['label']:item for item in data}" but that got me: {'Counter4': {'label': 'Counter4', 'data': 15}, 'Counter2': {'label': 'Counter2', 'data': 9}, 'Counter3': {'label': 'Counter3',

'data': 5}, 'Counter1': {'label': 'Counter1', 'data': 8}}. Do you have an idea which function/code to use instead?

Lokefar: To do what?

jtiai: To turn the list of dict's into a single dict's? As fare as I see it that is what is causing the error when parsing. That the 3rd parameter isn't a single dict.

jtiai: select a model for export

Lokefar: Well you convert that list of dicts to json string?

jtiai: Yes?

MJR_: Well content type framework might be something you're looking for.

Lokefar: So do that. Note, you get STRING back from json.dumps.

Lokefar: but template context expects to have a DICT . So you have to create a dict where you assign your string to some key, which you can then refer within a template.

jtiai: Okay. Will try that :)

Hi, all. I got an error when trying to save a model in admin - https://dpaste.de/yZn3

jtiai: thanks

grimel: Isn't that quite clear..

jtiai: I have no CustomersForm

hi ! upgrade from 1.10b2 to 1.10.2, error: "TypeError: <QuerySet []> is not JSON serializable". I was having my custom JsonResponse, now commented it out leaving just "from django.http.response import JsonResponse" - to no avail

grimel: You do, either explicit or implicit made by admin.

so?

ok, implicit made by admin - then what do I do?

grimel: Maybe it's something with your model.

jtiai: I have a field 'taxid' in Customers modle

model*

grimel: Maybe there is something in that field that causes a problem. I can't read people minds yet.

jtiati: there raises ValidationError, ok, I agree. but why does it say that CustomersForm has no 'taxid'?

As i said, I can't read your mind. You need to show some code.

hi guysssssssssssssssssssssssssss

I have a question, I'm trying to copy an existing object from default db to a new db with all object's relations also

nimrod13: Why? Can't you use database own tools for that?

i'm trying to copy a consistent part of the model. i.e. start form some object and copy it and all of its related objects.

i thought about doing o = Object.objects.using('db1').prefetch_related(...).get(...) and then o.save(using='db2')

this only saves a single row in db2

it ignores the fact that there are more related objects. Do you have any other idea?

nimrod13: Well you have to explicitly save everything and in correct order. That's why I would suggest using proper tools, instead of Django.

So what proper tools do you suggest (db is postgres)

pgadmin III, or more generic dbeaver.

i need a computational solution. something i can put in a script

jtiai: Trying to do the json to dict thing but getting an error that string indices must be integers. Code is "data_dict = {item['label']:item for item in data}". Question, should I use an integer or can I do it another way with a string instead?

nimrod13: You can script pg dump/load.

nimrod13: pgadmin III can help you to figure out correct export procedure.

Lokefar: You're really wandering totally off... :)

jtiai: Might need a mind break :)

Lokefar: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/intro/tu... see that example how instance of question is passed to template context?

ok, ValidationError on disabled fields made that error...

I have a problem with css the changes are not getting applied how to debug in django? I have changed in bootstrap.css file

Hanumaan: Huh?

Another question - what are a good analogues of django-mptt? I need a linked instances and have them to be shown with indentation in admin page

Because I couldn't make django-mptt work with multiple inheritance

jtiai: The view gets a request containing a question id. If this id equals an excisting question then the question is returned with the label 'question'. Is that correctly understood?

jtiai, I have changed before it worked but now not working any more the changes do I need to execute python manage.py collectstatic to afterever change not on server local machine development

Lokefar: No. View gets whole instace as is and it is passed to template in context variable named "question".

AFAIK pgadmin can dump entire tables and not a specific object graph.

Lokefar: Now replace question with "json_data" and assign json.dumps() to that key...

Lokefar: https://dpaste.de/uszw something like that.

Hanumaan: Sorry, can't really understand what you're saying.

jtiai, I am using mezzanine theme how to change css in it?

Interesting thing - I have a problem, the solution to which is unknown. Made SO question - empty, started an issue at mptt github - empty

Hanumaan: I've no slighest idea. Never used mezzanine.

Asked here - empty

three times, different days

Hanumaan: You better as from mezzanine community about that.

grimel: that's usually a good indication that what you want to do is a bad idea

jtiai: It works :) Thanks a bunch!!

Hanumaan: s/as/ask/

or at the very least a lot of work

Knyght: I just want to create a tree with django-mptt - what's wrong with it?)

well, django-mptt is for creating trees of the same object, not for doing weird stuff with multiple inheritence

or same model, rather

if you want to try something else, there's django-treebeard but I dunno if that will solve your problem any

Knyght: so I can't have a model - SomeModel(MPTTModel, BaseModel) where BaseModel just has two fields - updated and created?

I dunno. I don't see what not. What happens when you do it?

why not*

I assume your other model is abstract?

Knyght: whenever I'm trying to set a parent to a new model - it throws "InvalidMove. A node may not be made a child of any of its descendants."
