Is there a way to pass url's include() a list called something than urlpatterns? I'm looking at the include() code and from what I can tell it expects it to be called urlaptterns

hey, any recommendation for good price/quality ratio django hosting?

codermato: Do you wnat to manage the server or have it be managed for you?

newdimension: I don't understand, I think standard VPS will be fine.

newdimension: I use my old laptop currently and I am satisfied, but that's not very convenient:)

codermato: If it's a VPS you're managing it (updates, backups, security...). I used DigitalOcean, there's a few alternative. But at ~$5/month they're all pretty much the same

*I use

newdimension: and how many conccurent connections can it handle? To be honest I have no clue whether 1GB ram etc will be enough

codermato: When concurrent connections become a problem you can move somewhere else. The 1GB is going to do just fine now if this is a side project. I don't good answer for your question, but the 1gb handles a decent amount

newdimension: yes, thanks:)

I've been trying to learn django for years. I can never get past the vhost config. the language is junk without vhost. Always the same dead end, some jacked up permission issue iwth the vhost engine. I tried apache to. same ultimate issue. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52459703/uw...

codermato: It's worth automatic the deployment process with ansible or fabric FYI. It removes the effort from deployment including swtiching somewhere else

*automating

wuzamarine: That's a not a Django problem FYI.

newdimension: ultimately it becomes a django issue. if people can't use it....

wuzamarine: I get where you're coming from. But that's not really true. You probably learned Django just fine. Now you're having an issue, that's probably linux related.

You showed the directory permissions. You sure the socket file inherited those permissions?

newdimension: I tried every user on the system. it wants web]

systemd to? yup

What are the socket file's permissions?

root? yup nobody? yup

root can't get permisson error, as far as I know

it blocks root with an error.

What's the error?

Can you try moving uwsgi_pass unix:/run/uwsgi/fixdsite.sock to somewhere you know you have permission? I haven't used uwsgi, and I don't know what this run folder is

root is the wrong answer on any web server

wuzamarine: I wasn't suggesting you run it on root. I'm telling you if root is getting an error, you have a different problem that permissions

*than

newdimension: thats a trail of errors I left 3 weeks ago.

wuzamarine, just in case: you can run uwsgi through network socket instead of unix. Worse but doens't have permission issue

I guess it stays "django problem"

GinFuyou: right? It's everything but a Django problem

If you go stretching, you can stretch any problem to be your fault not fixing it.

But it surely most easy to stop on being someone's else problem before it

Where can I put non-app sepcific template tags? (site wide)

Hi guys/gals, i have code that is being evaluated in a docker container and i would like to spit that out to the browser when it is done evaluating

do i need django channels/websockets for this

user submits untrusted code via a form on my site--> code is tested against test suite in docker container--> need user to see output of this

anyone here?

hmm looks like makemigations creates models in alphabetical order

so it's creating B, then C, then adding a field to B as a foreign key into C

I thought it would be smarter and figure out creating B after C is one less operation...

I wonder if that was improved in newer versions of django...

i guess the implementation values stability over efficiency

if I want to get picky, I can rename the model (XExport instead of Export so that table is made last), makemigrations, and edit the migration file to have the right name :P

Should I have a slash add the end of all my url patterns?

it's a good convention to follow

there are some corner case issues it can help avoid

nicolas17: not quite sure what would be gained

I just went through all my URLs, was I right in added "/$" to all patterns that don't involve an included() ?

*adding

newdimension: can't hurt. doesn't do much, either

unless you used other mechanisms to get at parts of the path

What made me look at URLs is because I one /<project_ID/... defined without "/$" but when the page loads I beleive Django adds a slash. So if I just changed project_id in the URL and pressed enter I would get 404

*because I have one

that sounds ominous

It was fixed when I added "/$"

hey i have a model which has a field of text. on one display i only want to show maybe first few words of this text

so i have a queryset and it contains objects and i want to display some of the fields from the object

where should i truncate the field. in the model or in the view

def_jam: judgement call

def_jam: Do you want to (1) show some of the fields, (2) show parts of one field

def_jam: a custom template filter might be an option as well

basically up to now i pass my queryset to the template, and i then display some of the fields

for this situation i just want to display some of the fields, but on this one field just truncate it to maybe 100 characters

When you add a `prefix` to a form instance, Django handles the creation of elements and appends the prefix then transparently handles it within the form processing machinery. My question is, are there any convenience mechanisms for access. For example, when I get the form errors and put them in to a json response they do not include the prefix for the error keys (field names).

you see eventually if a person clicks on the record, i will then take them to a page that shows all the information plus some more from another record

def_jam: Truncate the field vcalue in templates

jb0t: pssst... prepends the prefix, not appends :)

FunkyBob: ah yes. good point.

def_jam: there already is a truncatechars filter built into django

but newdimension the template is a html document, so how can i truncate a field in that ,? i have seen some basic {%for%}

the template is not a html document

yes hop i found one in from django.utils.text import Truncator

def_jam: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.1/ref/templ...

but i cant use that in a template which is html

ah thanks ill look at that
