Refactor the sidebar to use Django templates
With this change the html for the sidebar is no longer generated by
Melange, instead it's delegated to Django (which is what it does
best anyway). The downside is that it is no longer possible to have
arbitrary deeply nested menu's.
from django.db.backends import BaseDatabaseValidation
class DatabaseValidation(BaseDatabaseValidation):
def validate_field(self, errors, opts, f):
"Prior to MySQL 5.0.3, character fields could not exceed 255 characters"
from django.db import models
from django.db import connection
db_version = connection.get_server_version()
if db_version < (5, 0, 3) and isinstance(f, (models.CharField, models.CommaSeparatedIntegerField, models.SlugField)) and f.max_length > 255:
errors.add(opts,
'"%s": %s cannot have a "max_length" greater than 255 when you are using a version of MySQL prior to 5.0.3 (you are using %s).' %
(f.name, f.__class__.__name__, '.'.join([str(n) for n in db_version[:3]])))
