gcbirzan: from the docs it looked like the part after the : will be the args?

from the docs: Here’s an example filter definition: def cut(value, arg): """Removes all values of arg from the given string""" return value.replace(arg, '') And here’s an example of how that filter would be used: {{ somevariable|cut:"0" }}

nick1: The problem is, that argument is not the value of title, it's the string title.

hmm but i thought i wanted the string

Oh, or not

so in the filter i have return Course.objects.get(crn=crn).arg

I think it's trying to look it up in the context.

which should be calling return Course.objects.get(crn=68041).title

Yeah, it's trying to look it up in the context. Quote title in there and it will work.

nick1: Also .arg might not work as you expect.

Ah, that too.

You'll want getattr(Course.objects.get(crn=crn), arg)

oh man you guys are both awesome

thank you so much!!

Happy to help.

My template-foo is really weak, I honestly haven't used it for anything serious in like 5+ years :P

when creating manytomany with through param, is it better to have manytomany on both models?

I don't think you can have it, simple reverse relations should be enough already

hmm css is driving me nuts .. anyone here who knows about multiple style classes on an element and which of them takes precedence when they define the same property?

latest appearing in style sheet I think?

GinFuyou, well that is what i found/thought

but it doesn't matter what i do the one linked stylesheet always overwrites even in-line style tags in the main html file

in-line should take top priority if not !important used at least

hm

You probably missed something

maybe !important is used (i am using timesheet.js to generate a timesheet ..

Though I find I don't get my css quite often myself

i prefer not to have to do too complex css where I can avoid it ^^

Sure

GinFuyou, ! important did the trick

;)

maybe the sledgehammer approach, but who cares ;)

that aside

I have to say timetable.js is nice

I try to avoid important always, but sometimes just have to use it. for example non-customizable third-party widgets with inline styling

just in center of your footer...

yeah

btw

if I want to have '&' in my template as'&' and not '&' (but not touch the other html tags) do i need a custom filter?

LordVan: maybe %verbatim?

i didn't know that .. let me have a look

jtiai, it seems django templates do support month without leading zeros ('n'

and 'j' for day without zero padding

amusingly it is not supported for minutes and seconds

You're talking about the PHP abomination?

what?

no

GinFuyou: wrt m2m and through: https://gist.github.com/cyface/3157428#file-mod...

LordVan: Uses a similar format as PHP’s date() function (https://php.net/date) with some differences.

LordVan: So, yes. :-)

RandomSerb, so does it work? I guess with through it could

well it does what i need it to so ^^

so many of those filters are so bad.

phone2numeric is probably the worst tag ever. date is a close second.

make_list serves no purpose I could understand. divisibleby should not be a filter

addslashes makes baby Jesus cry. (they're not slashes)

capfirst is amazing, except it's called capitalize

filesizeformat¶

didn't we move every humanize stuff to an external lib?

I'm confused as to why first cannot be written as foo.0

get_digit is 1 indexed

last and join are decent. yay.

why is lenght_is needed? linenumbers is meh? how often do you need that

A wrapper around pprint.pprint() – for debugging, really.

slice should be supported syntax, wtf

floatformat can go.

striptags gives you a false sense of security

time is... php. timesince and until are again humanize stuff, urlize is confusing, it converts URLs and email addresses into links... some weird stuff about www in there that makes my brain hurt

half of the filters are useless or worse

When using forms and defining the fields in the form with the Meta.fields tuple, how do I set additional things like that a field is required?

I dont want to make this field required always (by defining this in the model)

it should just be required in this specific form

can I input a generic.Scalar as a graphene input

?

fub: try overidding init

self.fields['name'].is_required=True

djapo: okay thanks
