#django

FunkyBob ▸ you have any 'easy deploy django (maybe with channels?)' guides on hand?

i want to host my django app myself for the first time

I have a markdownx field that works to real-time render emoji, video, html, etc. as content is being created. However, it's saving content as the markdown text rather than html...which causes it to be displayed as markdown rather than content on the site. Is it possible to save it as HTML or use markdown to render content?

mbryantms: better save as markdown, otherwise how will you be able to recover from an error in the converter? Or even how would you edit it afterwards?

True, then I guess I'm trying to figure out how to render the saved markdown on a view...

how is it rendered in your editor?

I can query it and display it in a template using "|safe" but emoji and others don't display. ---- It is rendered using a markdownx field in the admin section but doesn't display the same when in the view

it looks like the project isn't that mature. Try registering 'markdownify' as a filter and using that.

I'll give it a shot...thanks for the help!

mbryantms, is this your package, this markdown?

I am looking for a good markdown editor to incorporate into the admin console. TinyMCE always feels ... meh.

Which package? I figured out a solution...I'm using markdownify in the view and iterating over the values before serving it to the view

Before serving to the template I mean

ah ok ... is this using a Django package perhaps or a Python one? or maybe this is completely rolled by you.

The packaging I'm using is https://github.com/adi-/django-markdownx

ok cool. was just looking at that one. is this yours?

seems to be the most active and recent.

This is for a medical site that my wife has to edit (models in the admin). TinyMCE adds too much HTML cruft. Markdown seems to be more intuitive.

Not mine, just best I've tried

another help with M2M query? https://dpaste.de/nJvc

amcorreia: does this help? User.objects.filter(project__managers__in==[managers])

massover, NameError: global name 'project__managers__in' is not defined

massover, I changed a bit and worked

users = User.objects.filter(manager_set__managers__in=[user])

massover, thanks

amcorreia: that syntax is a field lookup https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/ref/mode...

oh right, your related names were different

yeah, i'm not good at naming related names

you get 'managerset' by default from django. if it makes sense, it's always nice to rename it and use the plural

yes, but in this case will be like "managers__managers=user" seems weird to me

FunkyBob: Thanks for your help recently. I finally deployed my page. Just took me days >,<

steam_bell: your first site? congratulations!

Koterpillar: yes, I did it all backwards I know. I wanted to deploy as my first step. So now I need to develop the actual project

you'll deploy more than once anyway

I figure

I simplified it as well by skipping virtualenv

on the server? that's not a good idea

I know

but know I think I could actually make virtualenv work too

*but now

is your server disposable?

not sure what you mean by that

imagine your server is consumed by fire, but insurance gives you a new one just like it. How upset will you be?

it's just a debian vm on google cloud, so... unless all of google burns up :p

good then

I do have a concern that I haven't been able search answers for. I was getting 403 errors, and I was able to fix it by changing my user permisions to drwxr-xr-x
