Django Debug Toolbar

Bookmarked via Diigo on Saturday, February 13, 2010 @ 15:43 CST by Daniel Andrlik

Django Debug Toolbar is an insanely useful Django app that you can drop into any Django project and get tons of useful information while developing and testing your work, all in a pretty sexy looking toolbar.

DjDT displays information such as:

  • Execution time
  •  Settings
  • HTTP Headers
  • Request Variables
  •  SQL
  • Template Debug Console
  •  Signals
  • Logging (from the standard Python logging module)

There is a great video on the landing page that does an admirable job showing off what DjDT is capable of doing for you. I can’t imagine why anyone would not use this when developing with Django, unless it’s just plain ignorance of it.

Seriously, save yourself some headache when you are testing your work and use DjDT.

Haystack - Search for Django

Bookmarked via Diigo on Wednesday, November 4, 2009 @ 08:02 CST by Daniel Andrlik

This is a sweet search application for Django.

When I first wrote my site, I had to patch the model code to have it utilize the native full text search available in PostgreSQL, and then some truly ugly search code for searching all the models in my applications. Haystack, combined with a true search backend like Solr or Xapian is a much better approach. Looks like a great way to implement robust search on your Django site.

Daring Fireball: How to Block the DiggBar

Bookmarked via Diigo on Friday, April 10, 2009 @ 08:36 CDT by Daniel Andrlik

I love this post from John Gruber on how to block the DiggBar, and in effect, Digg itself. I’m also highly amused by the message he displays to users that try to access his site via the DiggBar.

There is already some Django middleware available for this that can be easily adapted to forward users to any custom view or external site you wish. I’ll definitely be setting this up on my site soon.

UPDATE: I decided to use frame-busting JavaScript instead since that takes care of Facebook and other sites that do framing as well. Like anything else it can be countered, but it’s a start.

So you want a dynamic form

Bookmarked via Diigo on Friday, November 14, 2008 @ 11:21 CST by Daniel Andrlik

A useful little tutorial from James Bennett on how to produce dynamic forms with Django. Some of these techniques I have been using on my own, but he provides examples that show a much more efficient way of doing it than I have in my own code.

The basics of creating a tumblelog with Django

Bookmarked via Diigo on Tuesday, June 24, 2008 @ 10:49 CDT by Daniel Andrlik

I’ve been toying with adapting my site code to do this sort of thing. It’s always nice to see when someone else takes the time to publish their solution. I don’t know if I’ll end up doing exactly the same thing, but this post certainly gave me some ideas.

Django Pluggables: Browsing through code so you don’t have to.

Bookmarked via Diigo on Friday, April 18, 2008 @ 09:11 CDT by Daniel Andrlik

This is a neat service that collects reusable and “pluggable” Django applications that you can incorporate into your project. While many reusable apps exist, there previously wasn’t any unified listing, so you spent most of your time searching for Google Code projects that had already been put together.

This is just an awesome resource for developers using Django.
