I solved this thanks

Hi,

I have a small app where you can add links and save your favourite ones.

I have 2 models, Link and SaveLink

Link

class Link(models.Model):
    user = models.ForeignKey(User)
    title = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    link_type = models.ForeignKey(LinkType)
    link = models.URLField(verify_exists=True)
    image = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    slug = models.SlugField(
        unique_for_date='pub_date',
        help_text='Automatically built from title'                    
    )
    body_html = models.TextField(blank=True)
    body_markdown = models.TextField()
    pub_date = models.DateTimeField('Date Published')
    tags = TagField()
    PUB_STATUS = (
        (0, 'Awaiting Approval'),
        (1, 'Published'),
        (2, 'Deleted'),
    )
    status = models.IntegerField(choices=PUB_STATUS, default=0)
    
    class Meta:
        ordering = ('-pub_date',)
        get_latest_by = 'pub_date'
        verbose_name_plural = 'links'

    def __unicode__(self):
        return u'%s' %(self.title)

    def get_absolute_url(self):
        return "/links/%s/%s/" %(self.pub_date.strftime("%Y/%b/%d").lower(), self.slug)
        
    def get_save_url(self):
        return "/links/%s/save/" % (self.id)
    
    def save(self):
         self.body_html = markdown.markdown(self.body_markdown, safe_mode = False)
         super(Link, self).save()
         
    def get_previous_published(self):
        return self.get_previous_by_pub_date(status__exact=1)
        
    def get_next_published(self):
        return self.get_next_by_pub_date(status__exact=1)

    def get_tags(self):
        return Tag.objects.get_for_object(self)

SaveLink

class SaveLink(models.Model):
    user = models.ForeignKey(User)
    link = models.ForeignKey(Link)
    save_date = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True)
    
    class Meta:
        ordering = ('-save_date',)
        get_latest_by = 'save_date'
        verbose_name_plural = 'Saved Links'        
    
    def __unicode__(self):
        return u'%s by %s on %s' % (self.link,self.user,self.save_date.strftime("%d/%b/%Y"))

I have a user profile view to show what links the user has saved.

def profile(request):
        
    links = SaveLink.objects.filter(user=request.user).order_by('-save_date')
    
    t = loader.get_template('registration/profile.html')
    c = RequestContext(request,{
        'links': links,
    })
    return HttpResponse(t.render(c))

I need to get what links the user has saved and then list them but i cannot seem to show the fields from the Link model as i am using the SaveLink model to get the users saved links.

Can i join two objects together so i can use them both in the output ?

I hope i am being clear

Thanks

ok, thanks

but where would i actually define this function ?

so, once defined it i would update TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS like 'mysite.get_page_title' ?

And how could i call this function in my base.html with a template tag ?

Thanks again

Another question if i may....

After a user has registered on the site how would i log them in automatically ?

def register(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        form = UserCreationForm(request.POST)
        if form.is_valid():
            new_user = form.save()

            #login user here somehow ??
            
            return HttpResponseRedirect("/links/")
    else:
        form = UserCreationForm()
    return render_to_response("registration/register.html", {
        'form': form,
    })

Thanks alot that worked

ok, i changed

 c = Context({
        'links': links,
    })

to

 c = RequestContext({
        'links': links,
    })

is there something else i need to change ?

this is in my settings.py

TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS = (
    'django.core.context_processors.auth',
)

Thanks

Hi,

I am using the standard register/login on my site but when a user is logged in some pages say welcme userXX and some other pages always say welcome, new user.

templates/base.html:

                {% if user.is_authenticated %}
                    <p>Welcome, {{ user.username }}. <a href="/accounts/profile/">Profile</a> | <a href="/accounts/logout/">Logout</a></p>
                {% else %}
                    <p>Welcome, new user. Please <a href="/accounts/register/">register</a> or <a href="/accounts/login/">login</a></p>
                {% endif %}

accounts/urls.py:

from django.conf.urls.defaults import *
from django.contrib.auth.views import login, logout

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    (r'^login/$', login),
    (r'^logout/$', logout, {'template_name': 'registration/logout.html'}),
    (r'^register/$', 'accounts.views.register'),
    (r'^profile/$', 'accounts.views.profile'),
)

The profile page above seems to never realize a user is logged in, then when i go to another url it remembers the user being logged in.

accounts/views.py

from django import forms
from django.template import Context, loader
from django.contrib.auth.forms import UserCreationForm
from django.http import HttpResponse,HttpResponseRedirect
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from django.shortcuts import render_to_response
from links.models import Link,SaveLink

def register(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        form = UserCreationForm(request.POST)
        if form.is_valid():
            new_user = form.save()
            #login user aswell
            return HttpResponseRedirect("/links/")
    else:
        form = UserCreationForm()
    return render_to_response("registration/register.html", {
        'form': form,
    })

def profile(request):
        
    links = SaveLink.objects.filter(user=request.user).order_by('-save_date')
    
    t = loader.get_template('registration/profile.html')
    c = Context({
        'links': links,
    })
    return HttpResponse(t.render(c))

Anyone any ideas what i am doing wrong ?

Hi,

Instead of typing my site title into my html templates i would like it to come from a variable in settings.py

How would i write this value out in my html tempate ?

settings.py:
SITE_NAME = 'Website Inc. - '

base.html:
<title>{{SITE_NAME}} - {%block pagetitle %}{% endblock %}</title>

This isnt working...

Thanks

Hi,

I have django installed but i want to connect it to mysql instead of sqlite.

When i run syncdb it complains about : MySQLdb module: No module named MySQLdb

I tried to download this module but then i get an error : no module named setuptools.

When i try and install this like : sudo apt-get install setuptools (i also tried python-setuptools)

It says couldnt find package setuptools.

Any help is much appreciated. I am a complete noob setting this stuff up on a mac !!

Thanks

Thanks for the reply

Yep, the file is there.

I get a 404 error : http://www.site.com/site_media/_css/page.css

I am using apache. I dont know how to view the page with the dev server on my production server ?

Could it be something to do with slashes at the start and end of the path ?
