have blog/new_post come before blog/categoryname so if you ever route to blog/new_post it will go to your new_post view

create a blacklist of category names that cannot be created, like new_post

check against that blacklist on your new category create view

@Ryanar is this a common practice or is it a work around to something that is done wrong in the first place?

its not something done wrong, its just you need to make an exception if you want that url pattern

I actually found a bug with medium.com, they use the same pattern you described

and I created a blog that existed with a name like new_post and it stopped people from going to the new_post url

so you just need to be wary of it

they had written exceptions for all the URLs except for that one that I found

or make it a bit different, with /blob/category/<category_name>, and then /blog/new_post ?

blog*

thanks. I will try both cases for the sake of practice.

I'm not sure about what the advice is on user generated stuff going into url's, if users can create category names I wonder if moving it to a url param is better. I'm not sure

hello there

has anyone eer played with tastypie for non ORM ressources ?

Hey folks, does anyone know if it's possible to annotate a database object returned by .get() in the same manner you can annotate a queryset returned by .filter()?

Anyone here have experience deploying to Windows Server using IIS and CGI? Can't get my site to start error "Another website may be using the same port"... there is no other site.

it's a common IIS admin thing

you have to use a different port or site construct, it's been a while

Yeah I got it configured using this guide http://rjschave.github.io/hosting-django-on-iis/ but when I hit server I receive "<handler> scriptProcessor could not be found in <fastCGI> application configuration"

unless it's changed, they don't actually have virtual servers like apache and even apache has some constraints (like tls)

also cgi & iis is/was an usual combo

Its not deleting, Why? (no errors) https://dpaste.de/BBey

JaunDaugherty: Yeah it is a weird combo, long story.

Aloha, I'm setting up my first django project (migrating from something else) the databse structure is quite complex and I want django not to mess with it. Only do CRUD operations yet the tutorial does not state how to make django only read whatever it is on the database and build its modules accordingly.

use a tablespace or tablename prefix

also django models won't do stuff you don't ask it to

hey ppl

what do you use to have settings on reusable apps, that can be overwritten in the settings.py file?

i was thinking of having a settings.py file on each app, and then onproject/settings.py I would import everything

and that way i can overrite after those imports

hi everybody

som other aproach is to import settings from django.conf on app_settings and use that file to import all the settings of the app

hi

how could disable/uninstall/bypass all of Django CORS validations? At least for the development environment? I'm trying to debug an error between a frontend Ember.js frontend and a Django + DRF backend, but same origin validations are making my work harder this time

bakirelived: I think you'll end up with concerning import cycles

yup

thats what im afraid of
