Thanks guys.

jtiai, github?

duoi: Unfortunately proprietary stuff.

fun

schinckel: iirc you had a way of adding fields to a super-model that one might not have control over right? (eg if a base user model is in a 3rd party)

it was a discussion with mr uptick

aidan

i'm under the impression that a blog post would be required lol

shangxiao: not 100% sure I should encourage it

;)

lol

what did it involve? monkey patching?

It'd pretty much have to..

oh dear then it's mid-project user model migration for us then

Bah. Just quietly swap out auth_user with a DB view that joins in some other model.. :)

I have a formset where it has checbox field in continuous rows.When user clicks it it should update that row in a table by changing another column as well. How can I acomplish that in django? Or do I need javascript?

When you process the formset in your view, you can loop over the formset's forms and add additional behavior for each, just like you would for a regular form submission.

mattmcc but this has to be after checking kind of instantly

I cloned my existing django project repo on a new machine and set up a postgres db for it, and installed its requirements into a new virtualenv. when I do a runserver (or a migrate) I get this https://dpaste.de/K14D

Ah, do you mean changing one of the other form fields on the page?

hey when you sign up a user in django ..which model are passwords saved in

mattmcc if you know ms access continous form, this will be similar

I suck at interpreting the exception but I leapt at googling installing psycopg2 properly on fedora

I haven't used Access in probably 10 years..

mattmcc check this pic https://photos.app.goo.gl/2VsBk3ayEuw9YVFX7

so after user checks the checkbox the a_action should change from negative to OK for example

but it has to be in the checking event and not using a submit button

installed some other packages believed to be dependencies of psycopg2. I can't seem to get a different result. Am I understanding the exception right?

eb0t: The hash of the password is saved in your user model

ah ok, it seems to be the set_password that does this i think

thanks newdimension, so im just glad to hear it is stored as a hash

eb0t: The django team is good at implementing best practices so we don't have to worry about them too much

great stuff

sydbarret: Can the user still change a_action with the box checked?

does django do some black magic to prevent me from using try/except inside a view, or am i just doing something wrong

i assume the latter but one can never be too sure

What are you trying, what isn't working?

shangxiao: I used add_to_class (or contribute_to_class, or whatever), and then a custom AddField migration that also takes an app_label.

mattmcc no its PEBCAK

i figured it out

schinckel: but no blog post on what you did? :)

schinckel: but cheers, i'll take a look

hey what should i look into for site analytics..eg page views times, what gets clicked on etc for a django built site

i have heard that google analytics is meant to be ok, but not sure

then also not sure if i analyse the site from django or from the webserver

Google Analytics is JS, so it's all driven by what the client sees.

And it's certainly an easy way to get started for free.

ah ok ..another site siad 30 percent of people block google though

but if its simple to implemtn then ill probably roll with that

30 percent of people would still be using 'secret' as their password if it weren't for validation rules. I seriously doubt that many block tracking JS.

cool ...sounds like a good thing to start with ..thanks mattmcc

I'm still majorly confused about my psycopg2 problem. Does anyone have some time to help me diagnose it?

Soooo, it seems botbot.me will be shut down on november 5th. Does anyone have alternative ideas for logs?

Ruzzy: Try reinstalling psycopg2 after installing those dependencies?

schinckel: false alarm, schinckel

sorry, I just found a fix

schinckel: also, already tried that

turns out a --no-binary install of psycopg2 is the key

bonjello

foxmask: o/

schinckel: Ick. Is the codebase open or being opened? And can we get a DB archive? That's a whole lot of history to lose.

Oh, it's a Lincoln Loop project.

mattmcc: botbot has been open for a very long time. and channel admins can request log history.

Ah. So the answers are yes and yes.

So, they are worried about GDPR. Which means DSF is likely to have similar concerns.

Oh, that blog post is only yesterday (or today...not sure what day it is the backwards part of the world)

You'd think a TOS disclaimer in the motd would be enough for GDPR.

Possibly.

A lot of the websites I visited while in Europe last month took that route. No fancy opt in/out options, just a single modal that says 'this is what we track for blah blah reasons'

And then there's things like the LA Times that just geofence Europe entirely.

schinckel: o/

bob \o

mattmcc I got disconnected . Did you have a chance to see the pic?

I have a key/value table the holds various configuration settings for my app. I was wondering of there was a way of doing the form so that it self generates like other forms do from a model. At the moment I've just written each config field out manually but would like to do it the right way.

hmm ..i have cleared my browser data , cookies and history ..yet when i try and change password ..my form in django gives a drop down list which i dont want

any ideas

eb0t: You can set an attribute on the input field... autocomplete="off"

(in your template, probably, although depending upon your rendering you could have it in the form.Widget(attrs={'autocomplete': 'off'})

ah ok nice

To my knowledge browsers are really terribly obeying autocomplete attribute.

so its autocomplete stuff.

sydbarret: I'd asked if the user can still change a_action with the box checked.

mattmcc ideally the row should requery and dissapear

yutro

Is a_action directly editable at all?

mattmcc no

So yeah, I'd just remove it from the form.

only the checkbox is the editable

If it's always a derivative, you can set it when you save the form, no need to give the user a field they can't change.

mattmcc my question is how i will update the model by checking the checkbox.

mattmcc that is basically a sql stament in Access

That's what I was talking about earlier. You can loop over the formset's forms and save extra values at that time, based on what was submitted.

you mean checking all the checked ones?

looping through the checked ones and update the model based on their ids right?

sydbarret: Something like http://dpaste.com/18K68FF

mattmcc that goes in the template?
