django-1.5

From django 1.5 onwards, https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.5/releases/1.5/#miscellaneous The template tags library adminmedia, which only contained the deprecated template tag {% admin_media_prefix %}, was removed. Attempting to load it with {% load adminmedia %} will fail. If your templates still contain that line you must remove it. So what is the appropriate way to replace code found in legacy libraries and my legacy projects which still uses {% load adminmedia %} and loads css like:- <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{% load adminmedia %}{% admin_media_prefix %}css/login.css">

I am new to Django and I have been trying this for weeks, but could not find a way to solve this problem. I want to store additional information like user mobile number, bank name, bank account. And want to store the mobile number while user registers and wants user to login with either (mobile number and password) or (email and password). This is my UserProfile model from django.db import models from django.contrib.auth.models import User from django.contrib.auth.models import AbstractUser # Create your models here. class UserProfile(AbstractUser): user_mobile = models.IntegerField(max_length

I'm trying to migrate an old django application to django 1.5, There are 745 urls in different html files as this way: {% url url_name %} If I'm not wrong, this was deprecated and can't be used anymore from django 1.5 (as said here ), and I have to transform all of them into: {% url 'url_name' %} Any idea to do this without going crazy? Maybe, some kind of script, I dont know... I can't imagine a way to do it with replace in path. I'm probably missing something obvious. NOTE: This command is destructive. Use version control or backup your templates directory before running it. You can use sed.

I have a question regarding the custom user model in Django 1.5 So right now the default user model looks just fine to me, I just need to add a few other variables such as gender,location and birthday so that users can fill up those variables after they have successfully registered and activated their account. So, what is the best way to implement this scenario? Do I have to create a new app called Profile and inherit AbstractBaseUser? and add my custom variable to models.py? Any good example for me to follow? thank you in advance Dan Hoerst You want to extend your user model to the

It's written in the doc that: Another limitation of custom User models is that you can’t use django.contrib.auth.get_user_model() as the sender or target of a signal handler. Instead, you must register the handler with the resulting User model. See Signals for more information on registering an sending signals. I guess it means you can do the following: from django.contrib.auth import get_user_model User = get_user_model() @receiver(post_save, sender=User) def user_saved(sender=None, instance=None, **kwargs): # something Isn't it? I'm just wondering if I understand well (I don't understand why

I want to use an email field as the username field for my custom user model. I have the following custom User model subclassing Django's AbstractUser model: class CustomUser(AbstractUser): .... email = models.EmailField(max_length=255, unique=True) USERNAME_FIELD = 'email' But when I run python manage.py sql myapp I get the following error: FieldError: Local field 'email' in class 'CustomUser' clashes with field of similar name from base class 'AbstractUser' The reason I include my own email field in the first place is to add the unique=True option to it. otherwise I get: myapp.customuser: The
