(Django) Django: 3 ways to serve templates in views.py - chrisaiv

Tue, 03 Jan 2012 03:36:32 GMT

There are so many ways to serve templates within views.py that sometimes it's hard to get a handle on which is ideal for a project. This snippet does not attempt to explain every possible way to serve a template, simply a few I've found helpful organized from low-level (more code) to high-level (less code)

(Django) Clean up expired django.contrib.session\'s in a huge MySQL InnoDB table - magicrebirth

Fri, 30 Dec 2011 23:12:12 GMT

While django provides the django_admin.py cleanup script, if sessions get out of control sometimes you have to go lower level to get everything cleaned up. If the problem gets out of hand and you hit the resource limits of the machine, it is very difficult to get anything done in the database. Attached is SQL code which was used to cleanup 27GB of expired session data in 3h. Run it like this to make sure it runs to completion: `nohup mysql --user=username --password=password --host=hostname database < delete_expired_sessions.sql` nohup causes the script to run detached from a terminal, so if your session gets disconnected it will keep running. p.s. An alternative approach is to launch this command from the shell: DELETE FROM django_session WHERE expire_date < NOW(); or DELETE FROM django_session WHERE expire_date < "2011-12-10 00:00:00";

(Django) Django: Configuring settings.py to rely on relative paths rather than absolute - chrisaiv

Hate absolute Paths? Me too, I always end up forgetting to change things around when I go into production mode. Thankfully, there's a nice, clean way to have Python do all the hard work.

Instead of directly edit your TEMPLATE\_CONTEXT\_PROCESSORS, import it in your app's settings.py and just append what you need. (credits: denysonique and all #django channel community)

(Django) Django: adding new admin_tags - magicrebirth

Tue, 22 Dec 2009 15:06:14 GMT

First: create a file under djangoapp/templatetags where you define your tags [e.g.: myadmin_tags.py]: Second: create the html snippets that get loaded in those tags [e.g., personfactoid_info.html]: Third: in mytemplates/admin/ modify change_form.html (if you don't have it just copy it from the django-admin app). You must add a placeholder for the new templatetags (probably you want to add it at the bottom of the page): FOurth: create a new change_form.html in the same directory as above, but under your model template [e.g., mytemplates/admin/myapp/mymodel/change_form.html] so to override the behaviour just for that. The 'object_id' variable is passed by the admin template by default:
