Re: Django apache mod_wsgi permission denied

okay it works now, I was just missing a trailing slash at

Alias /static/ /home/loai/workspace/Faculty/Faculty/static/

then trying to access any static or media file raises (not found) instead of permission denied !

Here is my working apache2 conf for project "proj" on site mydomain.com. It is running happily on Ubuntu 12.04 with permissions on all /var/www/proj directories and files rwxrwx---

This is because I need users in the group to have access but no-one from outside. Apache is the owner.

Good luck

From what I seen in django/contrib/auth/forms UserChangeForm this gives me the change password URL however I get the error: 'CustUser' object has no attribute 'username' looking at the error line 136

/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/django/contrib/auth/admin.py in user_change_password

It looks like this is either a bug or doesn't work with a custom user as planed as it looks for a username even though in the example you set the email to username field with: USERNAME_FIELD = 'email'

Am I missing something?

Adding the password field to admin.py does obviously not

3 fields = ['twitter','username', 'first_name', 'last_name', 'password',]

Do i have to set a passwort field to the models.py or
can i geht that from the models which i "abstracted" from
(as done with username, first_name, last_name...)

You need to follow the instructions that are in the documentation.

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/auth/#custom-users-and-django-contrib-admin

The key is that you can't just subclass admin.ModelAdmin -- you need to subclass the existing Django admin class for Users (django.contrib.auth.admin.UserAdmin) - that base class is what provides all the special password handling etc for User models.

[Django 1.3] list_display, unicode and sorting

Hello,

Would the below be an OK way to sort __unicode__ in the admin list_display?

Model:

def uni_sort(self):

return self.__unicode__()

uni_sort.admin_order_field = 'sort'
uni_sort.short_description = _(u'name')

Admin:

list_display = ('uni_sort', 'parent', 'name', 'slug',)

...

To save ya'll some time, the docs say:

[[

The __str__() and __unicode__() methods are just as valid in
list_display as any other model method, so it's perfectly OK to do
this:

list_display = ('__unicode__', 'some_other_field')

Usually, elements of list_display that aren't actual database fields
can't be used in sorting (because Django does all the sorting at the
database level).

However, if an element of list_display represents a certain database
field, you can indicate this fact by setting the admin_order_field
attribute of the item.

]]

Unless I'm mistaken, this does not work:

__unicode__.admin_order_field = 'sort'

Otherwise I could just do this:

list_display = ('__unicode__', 'parent', 'name', 'slug',)

My question:

Is it overkill to create a method, that returns the __unicode__ value,
just for the sake of being able to order on the "sort" field?

Thanks!

Cheers,
M

Re: Noobe alert

Hey and thanks for the post, I actually posted this back on saturday and I figured it out, actually the way you are saying but it wasn't the permissions. I had to much info, the url going into nginx had two static directories next to each other, at first I tried to remove one but I decided to go with an empty string for STATIC_ROOT and that was it. No problems now, (basically follow the docs) duhh. But thanks I appreciate the post.

My best guess is that the web server is running as a user that does not have access to the files, and the error log should be showing up with various "permission denied" messages.

The usual culprit is that while the static directory and files are readable by everyone, the parent directories do not have the "execute" permission bit set. On a directory "execute" means the ability to trasverse the directory and get access to the contents, but not get a directory listing.

To fix, try something like this:

chmod a+x /var /var/www /var/www/virtualenv-test /var/www/virtualenv-test/ENV /var/www/virtualenv-test/ENV/testsite /var/www/virtualenv-test/ENV/testsite/static

Re: how to use named urls from apps

And, don't forget, the form is:

{% load url from future %}

{% url 'auth_login' %}

{% url auth_login %}

The former is highly recommend, as the latter is deprecated and will become the default in a future Django release.

If you ever get messages such as "view not found for reverse"... this has been my culprit 90% of the time.

Re: admin foreign key issues

class CategoryAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
list_display = ('name')
list_filter = ('name')
admin.site.register(Category, CategoryAdmin)

But that fails with 'CategoryAdmin.list_display' must be a list or tuple.

use: list_display = ('name',)

Note the trailing comma, there?

In python, a tuple with a single element must use the form ( x, ) or it is indistinguishable from a parenthesised expression.

Re: calling the view function in the other view function

It's generally very messy for one "view" function to call another.

Better solution is to factorise out the common parts into a third function, then make sure each of your two "view" functions have the required render_to_response.

Also, I highly recommend using the "render" shortcut, which would turn your more complex calls into this:

return render ( request, 'report/report_base.html', {'Head':Head,} )

Does it still crash if you fix the double commit?

instance = super(ImageForm, self).save(commit=False)

You shouldn't save it at all if commit=False was passed, and only save
it once if commit=True was passed.

Seeing the traceback may be informative too - sanitize it if needs be.

How are you trying to do it? There should be several migrations:

1) A schema migration to add the new foreign key, which should be
nullable at this point
2) A data migration to move the old data into the new column
3) A schema migration to drop the nullability of the new foreign key
4) A schema migration to drop the old foreign key

You may not need as many migrations if you do not need to migrate the
old data over, or if the new foreign key is allowed to be null.

Cheers

Drop foreign key, add another - keep data

Hello,

I'd like to drop a ForeignKey-field and add another using south (mysql database), but it won't work. Googling it takes me not far, but it seems to be a problem with dropping foreign key constraints with InnoDB.

What is the recommended way ot dropping a ForeignKey-field, and adding another?

Say the model looks like this:

class Model1(models.Model):

test = models.ForeignKey(Model2)

And I won't to change it to:

class Model1(models.Model):

test2 = models.ForeignKey(Model3)

Right now I don't really care if I lose data, but for future reference I'd prefer a method that keeps it.

Thank you.

Re: django1.5 subclass AbstractUser, How to get a password-(re)set field in admin

Hi Russel,

I have followed https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/auth/#a-full-example then added:

password = ReadOnlyPasswordHashField(label=_("Password"),

help_text=_("Raw passwords are not stored, so there is no way to see "

"this user's password, but you can change the password "

"using <a href=\"password/\">this form</a>."), widget=ReadOnlyPasswordHashWidget())

From what I seen in django/contrib/auth/forms UserChangeForm this gives me the change password URL however I get the error: 'CustUser' object has no attribute 'username' looking at the error line 136

/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/django/contrib/auth/admin.py in user_change_password

'title': _('Change password: %s') % escape(user.username),

It looks like this is either a bug or doesn't work with a custom user as planed as it looks for a username even though in the example you set the email to username field with: USERNAME_FIELD = 'email'

Am I missing something?

Regards,

Bruce

You need to follow the instructions that are in the documentation.

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/auth/#custom-users-and-django-contrib-admin

The key is that you can't just subclass admin.ModelAdmin -- you need to subclass the existing Django admin class for Users (django.contrib.auth.admin.UserAdmin) - that base class is what provides all the special password handling etc for User models.

I think you are confused about MEDIA and STATIC. MEDIA is where files
are uploaded to by users, STATIC is where files are served from, the
_ROOT postfix denotes a directory path, the _URL postfix a URL path.

So you should have STATIC_ROOT=os.path.join(...) and STATIC_URL='/static/'

> 'django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.FileSystemFinder',
> 'django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.AppDirectoriesFinder',
> 'django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.DefaultStorageFinder',
> )

But do you have the staticfiles app in INSTALLED_APPS?

You should always import settings like this:

from django.conf import settings
if settings.DEBUG

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/topics/settings/#using-settings-in-python-code

(It's really important actually, it can cause hard to find bugs!)

> if DEBUG:
> urlpatterns += patterns('', (r'^static/(?P<path>.*)$',
> 'django.views.static.serve',
>
> {'document_root': 'static'}))

This is not needed if you are using runserver in development, if you
are not using runserver, then it is better to use the shortcut methods
provided

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/howto/static-files/#serving-static-files-in-development

difficulty with static files

Hello django experts

I am unable to get my static files to work. Here are my settings:

projectfiles

|-----myproject

| |

| |-----static

| | |

| | |-----css

| | |-----js

| |-----__init__.py

| |-----settings.py

| |-----urls.py

| |-----wsgi.py

|-----myapp

|-----templates

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

settings.py

import os

SITE_ROOT = (os.path.realpath(os.path.dirname(__file__))).replace('\\','/')

DEBUG = True

MEDIA_ROOT = (os.path.join(SITE_ROOT, '/static')).replace('\\','/')

MEDIA_URL = '/static/'

STATIC_ROOT = ''

STATIC_URL = ''

STATICFILES_DIRS = ()

STATICFILES_FINDERS = (

'django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.FileSystemFinder',

'django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.AppDirectoriesFinder',

'django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.DefaultStorageFinder',

)

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

urls.py

urlpatterns = patterns('',

(r'^myurl/$', myview),

)

from myproject.settings import DEBUG

if DEBUG:

urlpatterns += patterns('', (r'^static/(?P<path>.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve',

{'document_root': 'static'}))

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

the app works fine but no connection to my css's or javascripts.

I'm using pycharm if that makes a difference.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
