django-1.7

I am using Django 1.7 with Mezzanine. I would like to have some page in admin, where the staff can call some actions (management commands etc.) with buttons and other control elements. I would also like to avoid creating new model, or manually create a template and add link to it (if possible). What is the most common/clean ways how to achieve that? Actually it is simpler. Just before urlpatterns in urls.py patch admin urls like that: def get_admin_urls(urls): def get_urls(): my_urls = patterns('', url(r'^$', YourCustomView,name='home'), ) return my_urls + urls return get_urls admin

I have a model, which has a date field date_of_birth = models.DateField(blank=True, null=True, verbose_name="DOB") I would like to format it to save dates in the format dd/MM/yyyy , but everything I have tried fails.

I am following a tutorial located here that uses Django Rest Framework , and I keep getting a weird error about a field. I have the following model in my models.py from django.db import models class Task(models.Model): completed = models.BooleanField(default=False) title = models.CharField(max_length=100) description = models.TextField() Then my serializer in serializers.py from rest_framework import serializers from task.models import Task class TaskSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer): class Meta: model = Task fields = ('title', 'description', 'completed') and my views.py as follows: from

I changed a field from CharField to ForeignKey on a Model called Availability, when I am trying to migrate I keep getting the error below: ValueError: Lookup failed for model referenced by field reservation.Availability.location: useraccount.Location Any idea why this could be happening?
