blag / django-wall Goto Github PK

When you get recent items there is a maximum number of items and a maximum
numbers of days parameter that limits the number of items fetched. In some
cases users may not want the "days" limitation which normally causes items
that are older than that number of days to be ignored.

I think some extra displays like a list of friends of friends and other
useful portlet style items might make Django-Wall a center of functionality
for a Pinax based site.

Currently the recent_wall templatetag accepts a wall object as a required
parameter. Chnage it so that parameter can optionally be a string in which
case the wall with a slug matching that string is used for finding recent
wall items.

there is no test code included, a common issue with 3rd party django apps,
lets start a trend by making some here?

Currently there is a flag in each Wall object that indicates whether or not
HTML tags are allowed. (By default they are not.) The implementation for
this capability involves running the striptags templatetag in the template
display pages when HTML is not allowed. Pretty bogus really even though it
works.

Much better would be a check during form validation as well as a further
check in the case where HTML is allowed that ensures that the supplied tags
are clean and proper.

It would be nice if at the settings.py or local_settings.py level you could
specify that you want to display blogs, photos, or other items that are
added. And to allow specific commenting on those items, or to migrate in
any comment interface that exists.

the block 

    if success_url == None:
        success_url = reverse( 'wall_home', args=(item.wall.slug,))

should be moved above the first if in views.add as is done in views.edit

-P

Add a project that shows how to use the wall in various ways.

Ideally include some nice templates and media to beautify the examples.

Since items are ruthlessly truncated to some max limit specified for each
wall (which defaults to 250 characters), it would be handy for the user to
see a count of how many characters they have left to go as they type in
their item.

To comply with general Pinax usage, this little AJAXy capability should be
implemented via jquery. There is a good chance that jquery code for this
already exists in which case it should be a simple matter of hooking that up.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. when i install it and try to use the templates
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
