#django

it may sound odd to recommend a ruby tool for django, but checkout capistrano. It is nicely constructed and generally points you in the right direction

In addition to code changes, your deploy process may need to manage migrations and site packages changes (virtualenv + pip)

one way I can see is to dockerize the application. ship the images to production nodes and update the containers or services (swarm mode)

Is there a pattern for distinguishing different group "types". I my case I need to know if a group is a School or a Municipality. I don't think I need additional attributes for those. I could subclass Group and add a "type" attribute. I could create a proxy model for School and one for Municipality. Any other, or a good technique for that?

I might need to grant permissions based on the group type.

In a model

The meta, call, ordering variable, how do I make that order by null last?

Hi folks, I have a AbstractUser in my app, I've set USERNAME_FIELD = 'email', which works great. Is there any way to make username optional (ie null=True blank=True)?

i'd have to believe the answer is yes but does django merge multiple select related chains on a model

In SQLAlchemy in the __mapper_args__, I would use `"order_by": nullslast(desc(start_date))` how would I do this in a django model?

If I have a model (MasterModel) which "unifies" models from apps (AppModel1,..), how can I keep a relationship between the different AppModels and my MasterModel? Right now I have an OneToOneField in all my AppModels, but i don't if this is the right way to do, because in this case the MasterModel has 1-to-1 relationships to different models

i had read somewhere that the admin interface isn't meant for production use. can anyone confirm that?

jeffspeff: admin is suitable for production. Django docs imply that as well with the “see also” note. https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/ref/cont... Extra steps should be taken to make sure it is secured properly.

thanks manfre

I have a running webpage and now i want to add django-axes to my project. I ran python manage.py migrate axes in dev and everything is working. But i get this error, when trying on prod. How do i "reset" migrations. Everything is working as expected now (before trying to migrate axes)

can i not use a context process if request is passed to the template?

fission6: What are you trying to do ?

I'm having trouble referencing across a manytomany field. http://pastebin.com/eZsX8DBf is the code with comments.

If somebody can give a look see and tell me how to correct the reverse(?) reference?

jdo_dk: i want to access the current site in a template

fission6: you can have lots of context processors...

yea i already have a context processor for this, BUT the template renders in an email in an async job so context processor is out of the realm of possibilities

jeffspeff: don't customise it and hand it to your customers

Only give access to your trusted employees

ok

Also you can make a way better site if you're concentrating on your own business values, rather than flexibility and DX

It's better than PHPMyAdmin tho

jeffspeff: remember to configure CSP

ok. thanks

i'm just getting my feet wet and learning things.

there's soooo much information out there learning it all at once for a custom project is a little daunting.

Hello!

hi!

I was wondering : is there any existing package to make a gitlab-like app for my website?

vmonteco: isn't gitlab that app?

Hey folks, I’m looking for a really thorough explanation, with examples, of the Django Admin, how to configure it, etc. I have a `project` in which one `app` makes reference to models from `another`, for example, and I’m trying to evaluate the best choices on how to configure them for admin without breaking the whole thing to pieces.

How do i fix this error: "Make sure all numbered South migrations are deleted prior to creating Django migrations"
