howiworkdaily / django-faq Goto Github PK

HI!

Stumbled upon this app this afternoon and i like it quite a bit. Does a simple job and does it well. I want to use it and have a few minor tweaks in mind i'll gladly contribute.

Something confuses me, tho:
Why isn't this on pypi ? If i use it in my project, i'd rather have my requirements.txt pointing at some specific release than to the github repo.

I saw a fork of the project, django-fack, is available there. Should this one be considered the currently active one, and the one i should follow if i want to get involved ?

error on linux system is

error: can't copy 'faq/faq': doesn't exist or not a regular file

faq is actually a link to itself. Why, I don't know.

Use of django.contrib.auth.get_user_model brokes compatibility with Django 1.4.
I Think it can be easily fixed just by checking django version before use get_user_model.
Cheers!
Matías.

when there are no FAQ objects, there is an error. This should be handled a bit better.

Slug field should have hte prepopulated field option on it.

I don't see any mention of what license this has been released under. I'm assuming BSD, but it would be nice if it was noted somewhere in the README. Thanks!

I've tried to use django-faq in my django project, but an exception gets thrown when trying to do

python manage.py makemigrations/migrate: "Models aren't loaded yet".

Are there any special considerations to be made when using django-faq in django 1.7-based projects?

Top detail page has multiple questions, with question detail slug. How do I link to each question detail page from topic detail page ? Hard coding is okay (from the doc) but I need automatic link tag. Anybody done this ?

• Python2.7 and Django 1.3 on Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat).
• Cloned git repo.
• cd django-faq/example
• python manage.py syncdb (created admin user when asked)
• python manage.py loaddata ../faq/fixtures/faq_test_data.json produces:

Problem installing fixture '../faq/fixtures/faq_test_data.json': Traceback (most recent call last):

A possibly related problem (?). After this failure, 'rm faq.db' and 'python manage.py syncdb' to create a fresh one (just in case), then:

• python manage.py runserver
• point browser at http://127.0.0.1:8000/
• get error page:

TemplateSyntaxError at /

'faqtags' is not a valid tag library: Template library faqtags not found, tried django.templatetags.faqtags,django.contrib.admin.templatetags.faqtags

However, ~/django-faq/faq/templatetags/faqtags.py (and .../init.py) do exist.

submit_faq view don't link newly created Question to a Topic and so don't work anymore.

Hello,
I managed to use your software and adapted it to look like the one described in item 2 here:
http://todaymade.com/blog/10-tips-for-creating-a-killer-faq-page/

Would you be interested in such a change or is it too radical a change ?
If you are really interested I can try sending you a pull request.

Regards,
