Make Sphinx Work With Django Project
Was having a heck of a time trying to get my Sphinx documentation to properly automodule my project. Eventually found this answer on a stackoverflow question, so here’s how they did it (so simple!). There are a few pieces of magic here. First, the sys.path.insert is done to the root of the project. That allows…
Read MoreDjango Tests
There’s so much I could write about django in general, but right now I’d like to address an issue that I just ran into and found a quick solution to. Using Model Bakery to create a new model (or really any ‘create’ action), custom save actions update the database, but not the model. The model…

I’ve enjoyed using their system for the image transformations that it can do separate from my install and their use of a CDN. However, it adds another layer of complication to…
Read MoreDialogResult and the Cancel button
Cancel buttons can be an important part of working with forms. If no DialogResult is set, the form will close but the calling code will continue unhindered. To work properly, both the OK and Cancel actions should be set. First, make sure to be getting a result from the form: For cancel or close, the…
Read MoreSpecial Characters in XML Comments
Something that I’ve come across a few times now is the need to include special characters in XML comments for custom methods.
