Try editing a logbook entry title in the admin now. The django built in auto slug field is fun and javascripty.

Kept the productive changes in 8267: extending the logbook parsing back to 1993, changing index page, changes to view_surveys.py

settings.PHOTOS changed to setting.PHOTO_ROOT
Made databaseReset.py get info from external server if appropriate (hope this did not break linus disk based scripts)
Still needs more work, to get everything working
Auto create photos directory if it does not already exist

Profiles are Person model instances, and are linked to django's built in User model by a one to one foreign key.
We are using the django-registration and django-profiles pluggables.

Got rid of the url tags in template, replaced them with get_absolute_url method calls where possible. Adding get_absolute_url in models enables direct link to the public model views in admin. The use of get_absolute_url, which is the correct Django way of doing things, eliminates any need for the redundant "href" fields we were using. Those fields now need to be deleted from the models and from the parsers.
Made the context processor to pass settings to all templates actually work, although this was a little uglier than expected. I had to put in a new render_response to replace render_to_response. This is because Django uses Context, not RequestContext by default. I wish they would change this, it's annoying. Anyway, I deleted all the manual settings passing in the views.
I also eliminated a couple of unnecessary methods and stuff like that.

Used modified versions of django-registration and django-profiles , both on bitbucket.
The Person model is now set up as the profile for auth.User s.
I set up a requestcontext so that settings is automatically passed to every template, no need to repeat ourselves in views. However, this needs to be refined: I will soon change it to only pass a subset of settings. E.G. we do not need to be passing the DB login and password!

Logbook parser now looks for mugshots when adding people. If it finds an image, it adds a new photo model instance linked to that person. If it finds an html page, it adds the body text of that page as the person's "blurb" and then adds the mugshot.
My interface web design isn't working, sorry. Need a blank slate on that one.

Photo model added.
Logbook parser now puts mugshots in as photo models, and descriptions from the old folk html pages in as "blurbs" on the person model.
Experimented with eye candy and a random logbook quote generator.

Also, the urls for the person model now allow lookups using their actual first and last name in the url instead of the primary key. We should do similar things for all models, maybe even using the url as a search which results in a page with multiple model instance results if the input is ambiguous (e.g. they only enter a first name).
