django-views

I'd like to write a Django view which serves out variant content based on what's requested. For example, for "text/xml", serve XML, for "text/json", serve JSON, etc. Is there a way to determine this from a request object? Something like this would be awesome: def process(request): if request.type == "text/xml": pass elif request.type == "text/json": pass else: pass Is there a property on HttpRequest for this? HttpRequest.META , more specifically HttpRequest.META.get('HTTP_ACCEPT') — and not HttpRequest.META.get('CONTENT_TYPE') as mentioned earlier 'Content-Type' header indicates media type

I can't get my head around this. I need to somehow access the object in the parent loop but I'm not sure how. Here is what I've come up with so far. I marked the problematic area in the code with XXX : Template: {% for item in ingrcat %} <h2>{{ item.name }}</h2> <ul> {% for ingr in XXX %} <li><a href="#" id="i{{ ingr.id }}">{{ ingr.name }}</a></li> {% endfor %} </ul> {% endfor %} XXX - should be a list of ingredients belonging to the ingredience category which is currently being looped through in the parent loop. View: def home(request): if request.user.is_authenticated(): username = request

I have a django form name "SampleForm". Which i use to take input from user. Now i want to use same form to show this information to user on a different page. But form is editable I want to make the form read only. Is there any way to make whole form Readonly ? François Constant pseudo-code (not tested): class ReadOnlyFormMixin(ModelForm): def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs): super(ReadOnlyFormMixin, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs) for key in self.fields.keys(): self.fields[key].widget.attrs['readonly'] = True def save(self, *args, **kwargs): # do not do anything pass class SampleReadOnlyForm

I have two, presumably related, problems with UpdateView. First, it is not updating the user but creating a new user object. Second, I cannot restrict the fields displayed in the form. Here is my views.py: class RegistrationView(FormView): form_class = RegistrationForm template_name = "register.html" success_url = "/accounts/profile/" def form_valid(self, form): if form.is_valid: user = form.save() user = authenticate(username=user.username, password=form.cleaned_data['password1']) login(self.request, user) return super(RegistrationView, self).form_valid(form) #I still have no idea what this

Hey i have looked around through some simliar posts here on SO but havent found anything that has solved my problem.

I have been scratching my head FileField. Does the FileField require a seperate process? Although my url gets saved .. but my file doesn't get uploaded ... what am i doing wrong?
