Ever wondered how to detect which version of Django you are actually running?
Well it is as simple as this:
>>> import django >>> django.VERSION (1, 2, 1, 'final', 0) >>> django.get_version() u'1.2.1 SVN-13348' >>>
Ever wanted to use your own JavaScript OR CSS inside the built in Django admin?
Well… it is possible!
All you need to do is the following:
1) Add a admin.py (if you don’t already have yet…) for your app
from django.db import models
from django.contrib import admin
from myapp.hotels.models import Hotel
class HotelAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
...
class Media:
js = ("/media/javascript/yourjs.js",)
admin.site.register(Hotel, HotelAdmin)
2) Create a file yourjs.js under /media/javascript
(function($) {
$(document).ready(function($) {
// you can now use jquery / javascript here...
alert('It worked.');
});
})(django.jQuery);
3) Open the admin for your application and you should see the ‘It worked’ message.
Incrementing or decrementing field values can be done by using the F() function.
UPDATE FIELD = FIELD + 1 WHERE… ?
from django.db.models import F
# views.py ...
offer = Offer.objects.get(...)
# SQL: UPDATE field_to_increment = field_to_increment + 1 ...
offer.field_to_increment = F('field_to_increment') + 1
offer.save()
After a month of hard work we are proud to announce that our new django hosting service is up and running!
The main features include :
When using the django-paypal pluggable app there is not really a settings to specify if you want to interact with the sandbox or with the normal site.
To do this you need to call the the form like this
{{ form.sandbox }}
instead of
{{ form.render }}
