ovalseven8: no, do not use a global

you can create helper functions if the data retrieval is non-trivial

remember, only one view is being executed at a time

Hi! When I use annotations with Case(...) I get the double amount of returned objects where the Case returns a True, (and a False). This is the annotation: http://dpaste.com/2X3CD6Q

How do I make sure that I only get the True object back when there is a True?

Hi all, I am getting this error: http://dpaste.com/3P770FA

jessamynsmith: How would the helper function look like?

any hint for debugging ?

ovalseven8: it would contain whatever code is duplicated

if the only line is Thesis.objects.all() it probably isn't worth it

but if you are doing some filtering over and over it is

carloratm: Does your View have the attribute template_name set?

jessamynsmith, But where would I put this function?

not_a_web_devbot: niet

carloratm: That would be the issue then. Without defining template_name, your View doesn't know which template to render with.

not_a_web_devbot: ok, thanks

carloratm: Glad to help! Good luck with your project.

ovalseven8: up to you, really. wherever it makes sense: in views, on the model, in a file of helpers, etc

jessamynsmith, Thank you

I deleted a field on one of my models

Hi guys! I have a backend developer work process organization question. The client provides not compiled sources for frontend and I never used nodejs before. I tried to compile them by myself with no luck. Tried different versions of nodejs. What should I do in this situation? Should I ask designer for compiled sources?

./manage.py makemigrations application complains of "Unknown field"

what could be causing this?

_mirak_: ideally they'd give you good instructions

hurhur nevermind, I was using that field on a modelform

What is the common working process between backend and frontend developers. Is it common practice for backdev compile frontend from nodejs?

just tell them you don't know nodejs and ask them for reproducible instructions

nobody knows every tool out there, especially not with the speed at which frontend tooling is changing

ok, my question must be looks for answer like: as many opinions as there are people. I should go for some cup of coffee

And talk to client

Thanks anyway

Is that what corporations do nowadays? Rotating the frontend all the time?

If only more websites used html5+CSS+a touch of javascript, my phone wouldn't freeze when opening funnay maymay gifs

gcbirzan: sentry works great :)

How long will Python 2.7.x be supported?

queso: 1.10 is last version if i remember correctly

Okay, thank you.

The Django 1.11.x series is the last to support Python 2. The next major release, Django 2.0, will only support Python 3.5+.

1.11 is last

zetab: What page tells this information on django's site? I'd like to pass this info along to my organization, since we've been using 1.7 and 1.4(!!!) for a long time now.

but since 1.11 is LTS, it'll support Python 2.7 for the next 3 years

not_a_web_devbot: https://www.djangoproject.com/download/#support...

hylje: Thanks!

not_a_web_devbot: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/releases/...

zetab: Also thanks. :D
