what is the proper way to check if a model instance already exists in a view? I have this: if Like.objects.get(article=article):

but I get an error saying: articles.models.DoesNotExist: Like matching query does not exist.

this is the view: https://gist.github.com/Flobin/b7c9f066bf4bef25...

oh maybe a try

hm, then again exists *should* work…, no?

ah, it works with filter()

sweeet

Hi. I am about to implement an option to MySQL backend allowing to manually disable savepoints. In which branch should it be based on?

git master prob

i think the channel where core devs hang out and do django things is #django-dev

ok

tkz. Will ping there

how do i rotate my uwsgi log to 1 file a day and delete logs exceeding 60 days?

Hi. I am getting the error "RemovedInDjango110Warning: Reversing by dotted path is deprecated (django.contrib.auth.views.login). But can't seem to find the fix. Parts of the code: https://dpaste.de/zFx9

you have to reverse named urls (give urls names with the name= argument)

I want a quick way to host a django site, can someone point me somewhere?

heroku is pretty quick

or pythonanywhere i guess

@hylje: Found it. Thanks :)

Hey guys, simple question that rise due https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/25473, so now for the url pattern name, we have to use '-' instead of the classic '_' ?? thanks

you don't have to, but the documentation suggests to use dashes across the board

hylje: that´s my question, becouse time back used to say '_' if i dont bad recall

yes, and that ticket and associated PR fixes that up

but _ are still not illegal characters in url names

hylje: thanks! :)

Does anyone have any good documentation or code, which integrates local/social login into the Django Rest Framework?

Its pretty confusing how it all hangs together

hylje using pythonanywhere thanks

is there an easy way to find unused templates in my project?

nothing built in

not really, but grep can go a long way

so... I have an Article model and a Like model that stores whether a user liked an Article, and I have a really simple class based DetailView for the article page

now I want to have a little heart (or something) for people to click so they can like the model... how would I go about adding extra context data so I can set the color of the heart in css?

this is my current view but I don't know if this is a good way to go about it https://gist.github.com/Flobin/b7c9f066bf4bef25...

oh I guess I can't get the object instance this way

basically I'm asking: how do you get the model instance in a DetailView?

flobin, self.object

ah sweet, thanks dang`r`us
