I just found out that orand andare defined for QuerySet. This means that to do queries union or intersection, you can do:
User.objects.filter(...) | User.objects.filter(...)
User.objects.filter(...) & User.objects.filter(...)Subscribe for the news and updates
Protection of WEB App is of paramount importance and it should be afforded the same level of security as the intellectual rights or private property. I'm going to cover how to protect your web app.
Quite often we have to write paginated or filtered blocks of information on page. I created a decorator that would automate this process.
In my current project I had a task to use twitter API. Twitter uses OAuth for authentication, which is pretty dreary. To avoid fiddling with it all the time, I've moved authentication to decorator. If key is available - nothing happens, just view is launched as usual. It's convenient that there's no need for additional twitter settings in user profile. Code is in article.
There was a task to submit form with ajax, with server side validation of course. Obvious solution is to do validation and return json with erros. I didn't like idea of writing separate view for validation and then inserting errors in form html on client side. Especially since I already had a generic template for django form with errors display. In this article I'll describe how I solved the task.
In UNIX way, each view should solve single task. This is good idea, but sometimes we need to mix logic of different views on same page. Filter, sort, paginate, or, for example, add comment on product page. In this article I'll show how we can mix such multiple views.
In my recent project there was a lot of data business logic, so I had to organize this code somehow. In this article I'll describe a few hints on how to it.
