Listing some quick info that I may forget later

• 
  

  Django Redirect a page

  
  from django.http import HttpResponseRedirect
  return HttpResponseRedirect(’/')

• Django Check if user logged in

  if not request.user.is_authenticated():

• Django Generic Views Template

  <ul>
  {% for object in object_list %}
      <li class="project">
          <h3 class="name">{{ object.name }}</h3>
      </li>
  {% endfor %}
  </ul>

• Include another URL config file, but make the urls be appended to the base URL

  . For example, if I write a registration app and I want site.com/login and site.com/logout to exist, but want to define these urls from within the app

  (r”, include(’registration.urls’)),

  The trick is to make the first parameter an empty string

• Serve static files only in debug mode from the internal web server
  

if settings.DEBUG:
    urlpatterns += patterns(”,
        (r’^media/(?P<path>.*)$’, ‘django.views.static.serve’, {’document_root’: ‘C:/media’}),
    )

 

• Add a login/logout bar to your application

  A login bar should be done using a template tag, as it is the same across many pages, but changes state depending on the particular page

• Django Login using email address

  Don’t waste your time trying to find a better solution. Use the EmailBackend from DjangoSnippets
