using mongoengine with django-dash

[jmrjrmv]

Hi,

Does this django package work with django mongoengine configuration ?

Best regards

Hello,

In short - it doesn't.

django-mongoengine wasn't implemented as ORM, thus, you can't just plug it in and expect Django to function in a normal way. Although it has been kept close to django's coding style, so that migrating from Django's ORM to django-mongoengine would be trivial.

If you have to implement it using mongoengine, you could clone it, rename it (to django-dash-mongoengine) and re-write models, forms and other parts where Django ORM would be used.

At the moment I'm busy with another great start-up, but in case you would go for it, I could make some parts of the code more generic and easier to replace.

Best regards,

Artur

Thanks a lot for your answer. Indeed, i would like to use this package with my django-mongoengine environment and test the results. I will first check some modifications and if it seems very trivial and works , i will fork and create a django-dash-mongoengine. I'll keep you informed. But I would have appreciate also in case you had time to provide a more generic and easier to replace code.

I am having problems with setup, I keep getting the following error:

Please help me resolve this

@ttuti:

That's really strange. Bootstrap3 is something that is still in development and I myself can't reproduce that error. Could you provide some more information? What Python version are you using? What system? As much as possible, please.

[ttuti]

My environment is: python 3.4 django 1.10.6 Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS

@ttuti:

I see. The stable tag is broken, but you can install it from PyPI.

pip install django-dash

The only place where it might be broken is the automated demo installer. Is that what you're trying to use?

[ttuti]

Yes, it is the automated demo installer that is failing.

@ttuti:

Clear. It's gonna be fixed tonight.

[barseghyanartur]

@ttuti:

Fixed.
