I can't see the problem in that article. Also, the datetime objects have changed since then, taking a timezone as optional parameter: http://docs.python.org/library/datetime.html#datetime-objects I mean we are using date/time already with our pre-save way of doing things, why should auto_add act

get_absolute_url is just a shortcut for one stupid thing: Get some url returned by the model. It does not have to be about the object. It can be: google.com. Whatever! All the things you are concerned with can be created using urls+views so you shouldn't even need to worry about get_absolute_url

Yes, I Do, How about that he never replied to the Collin Grady's commend about HOW it would break the code. Seems like the ticket was never discussed but monopolized by a little hush-hush discussion... On Sep 11, 10:55 am, Karen Tracey wrote: > On Fri, Sep 11, 2009 at 9:40 AM, drozz

media -> admin_media Prefix Change

2009-09-11 Thread drozzy
Reference: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/static-files/#how-to-do-it I propose we change the admin's media prefix from "media" to "admin_media". When I was just starting out with Django, this was a major problem, as I could not figure out why my static media did not display correctly.

I find it amusing how people like to use fancy words like DRY, without explaining exactly how it applies. I am not trying to argue for keeping auto_now, but I just don't see what the fuss is about? The lazy date thing seems more "un-DRY" to me that this. But then again, why not have both? + the "

Well, that is the purpose of that. I mean if you want a custom field that saves only on Thursday, it makes sense to write a modified save routine.. On Sep 10, 1:19 pm, Andrew Gwozdziewycz wrote: > On Thu, Sep 10, 2009 at 9:35 AM, Ryan K wrote: > > I'm trying to give advice to people but I can't

Replacing get_absolute_url, I am against it

2009-09-10 Thread drozzy
Just read the "Replacing get_absolute_url proposal": http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/ReplacingGetAbsoluteUrl and personally I think adding two functions get_url_path and get_url is a lot more confusing. One can never remember which one gets the Absolute url and which one gets the Relative url.
