Contributing to the docs is handled just like contributing to the code. They
are all in SVN, under a docs directory in the trunk. See

Hi,
I have a site with a blog area and 5 pages powered by a simple cms.
On every page i show event information in the right column and social
media info in the left column.
I am wondering what view should contain the info for the left and
right column ? I would like to keep it separate from the blog and cms

create_update generic view post_save_redirect problem.

der.s...@gmail.com (sarg) — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 13:46:31 UT

If post_save_redirect set to reverse('some_view') and reversed url
contains tilde (~), then
return HttpResponseRedirect(post_save _redirect % obj.__dict__) breaks
as post_save_redirect contains %7E.

Here is an idea of what your forms.py should contain:
class AgencyForm(ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Agency
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
super(AgencyForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
if self.instance.id:
if self.instance.state_id:
counties =

Thanx all,
it seems still to be the best, doing it in the load-balancer or web-server it self.
Just was curious, if there is a python/django way...
Thanks again

Yes, it was that easy. I don't know why, but I've been banging my
head against the wall on this for a while and never thought of this
solution.
One thing that would really help a ton is more/better examples about
file-handling in django. I've spent more hours on this single feature
reading & rereading the docs trying to figure out how things work. A

Re: site management - maintanance mode

valimaa.ju...@gmail.com (Jukka Välimaa) — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 07:12:13 UT

That could be done with Django using middleware, like with
django-maintenancemode. Only instead of using settings file, the setting
could be saved into database, and turned on and off in admin. The middleware
reads the setting (preferably cached), and if maintenance mode is on,
returns 503 error page with maintenance message. If setting is not on, the

rocketmonk...@gmail.com (Jumpfroggy) — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 07:10:30 UT

I think this is what I'm missing. What's the code for this? Can I
just do:
os.rename(model.file1.name, new_filename)
model.file1.name = new_filename
model.save()
Is that enough? I'll go try that now. The problem is that the
documentation leaves it unclear whether simply changing the name and
saving the model is kosher. I guess I'd expect a more complicated

limit_choices_to a value on a field in the same model

btaylordes...@gmail.com (Brandon Taylor) — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 06:09:37 UT

Evening Everyone,
I have a model "Agency" with "state" as a foreign key and "counties"
as a many-to-many.
County has a foreign key to "state"
I would like to limit the County choices in Django admin to the state
of the Agency being edited, but, I can't seem to find the right place
to get an instance of the Agency being edited so I can override the

you could do it manually. first use os.rename to rename the file on the disk,
and then update your model instance with the new name and save it.

How do I rename a FileField() that's attached to a model?

rocketmonk...@gmail.com (Jumpfroggy) — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 01:55:08 UT

I've gone through the documentation a ton, been trying different
techniques, and I know I'm just missing something obvious.
I have a model like this:
class MyModel(Model):
file1 = FileField(...)
So I can do this:
model = MyModel.objects.get(id=1)
print mode.file1.name
But I want to rename the file on the filesystem. I want something

I kludged together a buildout config to use django-page-cms which depends on django-mptt
and it still isn't referencing my locally downloaded svn trunk version of django-mptt.
