Django-simpleadmindoc
Simpleadmindoc is django application that allows you to quickly create help for modules in Django admin. Goal is to be flexible enough, fast to create and easy to integrate.
I started this project as I needed to deliver help and documentation for django-admin on client website and admindocs seems more oriented to developers than to users.

Django set language for admin
If you want to explicitly set language for django admin section use this middleware:
from django.conf import settings
class AdminLocaleURLMiddleware:
def process_request(self, request):
if request.path.startswith('/admin'):
request.LANG = getattr(settings, 'ADMIN_LANGUAGE_CODE', settings.LANGUAGE_CODE)
translation.activate(request.LANG)
request.LANGUAGE_CODE = request.LANG
Then put somewhere in settings.py:
ADMIN_LANGUAGE_CODE=’it’
and add middleware:
MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (
...
'utils.multilang.middleware.AdminLocaleURLMiddleware',
....
Can't connect to MySQL when touching django.wsgi
Error when touching django.wsgi: Can’t connect to MySQL server…
did not help unless restarted apache.
Solution that did work is to set DATABASE_PORT to ‘3306’ instead of empty string. Not sure why…
Django - avoiding typing password for superuser
When developing Django applications I call some kind of flush.py script innumerable times to recreate and sync database, import some data and create super user. It looks like:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
mysql -u root -e "DROP DATABASE secret_project_db;"
mysql -u root -e "CREATE DATABASE secret_project_db CHARACTER SET='utf8';"
./manage.py syncdb --noinput
./manage.py loaddata app/fixtures/*
./manage.py createsuperuser --username=admin --email=admin@example.com
It does the job quick but the thing that really annoy me is entering password and password confirmation each time over and over again. In looking for a quick way to reduce typing this is what I have now instead of last line in previous example:
echo "from django.contrib.auth.models import User; User.objects.create_superuser('admin', admin@example.com', 'pass')" | ./manage.py shell
Hope it will save you some typing too, if anyone has better idea then to call shell let me know in the comments.
Use unicode in doctests
Use hex representation, double quote slashes in expectation. Do not use print in doctests .
