Has patch: set

Patch is attached - it only checks if Sites application is installed before introspecting current site.

Note that the patch includes a print statement.

I'm going to review this and check it in.

print statement is left accidentally - thanks for noting it

comment:4 by Matthijs Kooijman, 16 years ago

I just run into the issue as well, so I'd be grateful if the patch could be committed.

I've added an updated version, since code in question was moved to a different file in r9001. Since the patch is slightly hard to read: All this does is put a big if around all the Site-related code. This increases the indent of that code a bit, making the diff so messy... If you apply the patch and run svn diff -x -b, you can see the changes a lot more clearly (ignore space change).

Any chance of adding this trivial patch?

I've got no intention to nag, but could somebody (adrian?) commit this rather trivial patch? It's already marked as accepted and breaks the default install for some people...

Component: Core frameworkContrib apps
milestone: 1.2
Version: 1.01.1

This is still present in 1.1.1, can we get this bug fixed in 1.2 please?

However, the patch would probably have to be rewritten using RequestSite, which was probably invented after the patch for this issue had been submitted.

I just looked into this - in my opinion a much simpler patch is sufficient:

+                current_site = RequestSite(request).domain
         except Site.DoesNotExist:
             pass
 

If an explicit relationship to Site objects is established in a model (this is covered by the lines above my changes) it could be argued that the method should fail if the sites app is not installed.

Unfortunately i do not have the infrastructure here to create a real patch against the trunk and run tests... I hope this helps, can somebody help to get this into 1.2?

Not critical for 1.2.

comment:13 by anonymous, 15 years ago

Right, what's the rush for ? It's been, what, only 2 years open; other (also trivial) patches are lingering for 4 years or more...

comment:14 by reconbot, 15 years ago

I can confirm that floledermann's patch works on django trunk rev 13023. I'd love to see this in the trunk.

comment:15 by Brandon M Height, 14 years ago

The current uploaded patch I think it more bloated than is needed and feel that floledermanns patch (http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/8960#comment:11) would be better suited for check in. I can also confirm that floledermann's patch works on django trunk rev 13237.

comment:16 by CarlFK, 14 years ago

Until the code is fixed, how about fixing the docs:

http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/models/instances/#django.db.models.Model.get_absolute_url should say "You will need the sites framework installed."

http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/2319 patched the sites docs, but I think that's an odd place for that bit of info. If I discover get_absolute_url and "View on site", I have no way of knowing that I need to now go read the site docs.

Needs tests: set

For people who want to see this get into 1.3, it will need tests at least.

Resolution: fixed
Status: assignedclosed

(In [13980]) Fixed #14386, #8960, #10235, #10909, #10608, #13845, #14377 - standardize Site/RequestSite usage in various places.

Many thanks to gabrielhurley for putting most of this together. Also to
bmihelac, arthurk, qingfeng, hvendelbo, petr.pulc@…, Hraban for
reports and some initial patches.

The patch also contains some whitespace/PEP8 fixes.

(In [13987]) [1.2.X] Fixed #14386, #8960, #10235, #10909, #10608, #13845, #14377 - standardize Site/RequestSite usage in various places.

Backport of [13980] from trunk. Some items could be considered features
(i.e. supporting RequestSite in various contrib apps), others are definite
bugs, but it was much more robust to backport all these tightly related
changes together.
