Ahh yes, looks much like this one here:

Happens when you return something directly instead of in an HttpResponse-type object.

Make sure your views return django httpresponse objects, not lists, strings, etc.

I have been living with auto transform handles on my objects for the past week and wondering how to turn it off.

I searched, found nothing.

Then, I found a freaking button I’ve never seen before (clearly):

Show Transform Controls.

Turn it off. Fixed.

Read below to make sure you’re in the same boat.

I had a branch set up on Server A that I committed to the remote repository.

I had a branch set up on Server B that I committed to the remote repository.

Now, Remote Repository has branch from A and B.

Pulling branch B or branch A from either server would result in merge conflicts.

If you are…

How to do I get git to pull overwriting /everything/ ? I just need exactly what is on the remote server.

Now I’m starting to sound very stupid: I just needed to do

git fetch origin branch

Apparently, git pull always merges with the current branch. Not proud to admit I’m just starting to get Git.

Set up WordPress running on Apache through an Nginx reverse proxy.

Assuming you have apache2 installed, grab the relevant PHP5 libraries:
apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5, php5

Set up Apache

Set up an apache VirtualHost that listens on some port, say 8080.


Listen 8088

ServerName Blah
DocumentRoot /path/to/wordpress

Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All

Set AllowOverride to allow wordpress to use .htaccess.

mod rewrite

You may need to install the apache rewrite module.
locate mod_rewrite.so revealed I have mod_rewrite in /usr/lib/apache2/mod_rewrite.so, so I added a file in /etc/apache2/mods-enabledthat contained:

LoadModule rewrite_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_rewrite.so

Set up Nginx

Next up is to proxy some address to the apache server listening on 8080.

Set up a location in your nginx server configuration files to point proxy_pass the traffic to your apache server.
Inside your server directive, you’d have something like:
location /my-blog/ {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080;
proxy_redirect off;
# more settings...
}

and bam!

visit /my-blog/ and your wordpress should start.

Modify wordpress to use new addresses

WordPress doesn’t know it’s living in a subdirectory because the request is proxied from Nginx.

You can fix the links from pointing at the root domain by modifying the home and home_url settings in the wp_options table to include yourdomain.com/my-blog

(also found in the general settings tab of WP admin)

Finally, one last fix with nginx for wp-admin bugginess

It seems the admin isn’t 100% good at dealing with WP living in a subdirectory. It tends to send me off to the root domain for searches and various other misc links.

I fixed this by making a rewrite rule in nginx that directs all traffic from /wp-admin to /my-blog/wp-admin/.

location /wp-admin/ {
rewrite ^/(.*)$ http://yourdomain.com/my-blog/$1 permanent;
}

Finally, we have our blog..

My slideDown() effect was making my element appear but immediately disappeared after the animation.

I read fixes from setting hasLayout IE property by using min-heigh:0 or zoom:1, but none did the trick.

I found out I had no defined doc type.

I set it to 1.0 Transitional and everything works again…

I forget this handy method often.

$('img', this) selects img within this.

To select every nth item, use the child selector “nth-child()”

To select every 5th child, use 5n
$("#mylist li:nth-child(5n)").stuff()

Type in a whole number to get the nth item only.

I was wondering what was causing my Fancybox to display incorrectly in IE, because i kinda assumed a release would be stable across modern browsers.

The problem is just that fancybox 1.3.x has been released w/o working for IE8.

Switch back to 1.2.6 and we’re good to go.

If your PNG transparency in Internet Explorer is looking like this:

The fix is to use a non 1×1 transparent image.

I changed mine to 100×100 and the problem was solved.

I’ve read accounts of 5×5 working as well.

Got this delicious error today.

AttributeError: ‘ReturnAdmin’ object has no attribute ‘__name__’

Turns out that you can’t use the ForeignKey traversing syntax used everywhere in Django for ModelAdmin list_display

list_display = ('my_fk__blah',)

Will throw this mysterious error.
