class indico.modules.categories.models.categories.Category(**kwargs)

An Indico category.

A simple constructor that allows initialization from kwargs.

Sets attributes on the constructed instance using the names and values in kwargs.

Only keys that are present as attributes of the instance’s class are allowed. These could be, for example, any mapped columns or relationships.

ATTACHMENT_FOLDER_ID_COLUMN = 'category_id'

The name of the AttachmentFolder column pointing to to the object’s ID

access_key = None
acl_entries
allow_no_access_contact = True

Whether the object can have contact information shown in case of no access

allow_relationship_preloading = True

Whether relationship preloading is allowed. If disabled, the on-load event that populates relationship from the preload cache is not registered.

can_create_events(user)

Check whether the user can create events in the category.

can_propose_events(user)

Check whether the user can propose move requests to the category.

property chain_query

Get a query object for the category chain.

The query retrieves the root category first and then all the intermediate categories up to (and including) this category.

children
property deep_children_query

Get a query object for all subcategories.

This includes subcategories at any level of nesting.

default_badge_template
default_badge_template_id
default_event_themes
default_render_mode = 2
default_ticket_template
default_ticket_template_id
disallowed_protection_modes = frozenset({})

The protection modes that are not allowed. Can be overridden in the model that is using the mixin. Affects the table structure, so any changes to it should go along with a migration step! By default, the public mode is disallowed since it does not make much sense in most cases to make something public even though its parent object is private (or inheriting).

property display_tzinfo

The tzinfo of the category or the one specified by the user.

property effective_icon_url

Get the HTTP URL of the icon (possibly inherited).

event_creation_mode
event_creation_notification_emails
event_message
event_message_mode
get_hidden_events(user=None)

Get all hidden events within the given category and user.

classmethod get_icon_data_cte()
classmethod get_protection_cte()
get_protection_parent_cte()
classmethod get_root()

Get the root category.

classmethod get_subtree_ids_cte(ids)

Create a CTE for a category subtree.

This CTE contains a single id column that contains all the specified IDs and those of all their subcategories.

This is likely to be much more performant than get_tree_cte when the query is used with LIMIT, especially in large databases.

classmethod get_tree_cte(col='id')

Create a CTE for the category tree.

The CTE contains the following columns:

  • id – the category id

  • path – an array containing the path from the root to

    the category itself

  • is_deleted – whether the category is deleted

Parameters:

col – The name of the column to use in the path or a callable receiving the category alias that must return the expression used for the ‘path’ retrieved by the CTE.

static get_visible_categories_cte(category_id)

Get a sqlalchemy select for the visible categories within the given category, including the category itself.

property has_effective_icon
property has_icon
icon
icon_metadata
property icon_url

Get the HTTP URL of the icon.

id
inheriting_have_acl = True

Whether objects with inheriting protection may have their own ACL entries (which will grant access even if the user cannot access the parent object).

is_deleted
is_descendant_of(categ)
property is_empty
is_flat_view_enabled
is_root
locator()

Define a smart locator property.

This behaves pretty much like a normal read-only property and the decorated function should return a dict containing the necessary data to build a URL for the object.

This decorator should usually be applied to a method named locator as this name is required for get_locator to find it automatically when just passing the object.

If you need more than one locator, you can define it like this:

@locator_property
def locator(self):
    return {...}

@locator.other
def locator(self):
    return {...}

The other locator can then be accessed by passing obj.locator.other to the code expecting an object with a locator.

log(realm, kind, module, summary, user=None, type_='simple', data=None, meta=None)

Create a new log entry for the category.

Parameters:
  • realm – A value from CategoryLogRealm indicating the realm of the action.

  • kind – A value from LogKind indicating the kind of the action that was performed.

  • module – A human-friendly string describing the module related to the action.

  • summary – A one-line summary describing the logged action.

  • user – The user who performed the action.

  • type – The type of the log entry. This is used for custom rendering of the log message/data

  • data – JSON-serializable data specific to the log type.

  • meta – JSON-serializable data that won’t be displayed.

Returns:

The newly created CategoryLogEntry

In most cases the simple log type is fine. For this type, any items from data will be shown in the detailed view of the log entry. You may either use a dict (which will be sorted) alphabetically or a list of key, value pairs which will be displayed in the given order.

logo_metadata
property logo_url

Get the HTTP URL of the logo.

move(target: Category)

Move the category into another category.

notify_managers
nth_parent(n_categs, fail_on_overflow=True)

Return the nth parent of the category.

Parameters:
  • n_categs – the number of categories to go up

  • fail_on_overflow – whether to fail if we try to go above the root category

Returns:

Category object or None (only if fail_on_overflow is not set)

own_no_access_contact
property own_visibility_horizon

Get the highest category this one would like to be visible from (configured visibility).

property parent_chain_query

Get a query object for the category’s parent chain.

The query retrieves the root category first and then all the intermediate categories up to (excluding) this category.

parent_id
position
possible_render_modes = {RenderMode.markdown}
protection_mode
property protection_parent

The parent object to consult for ProtectionMode.inheriting.

property real_visibility_horizon

Get the highest category this one is actually visible from (as limited by categories above).

render_mode = 2
suggestions_disabled
timezone
title
property tzinfo
property url
visibility
property visibility_horizon_query

Get a query object that returns the highest category this one is visible from.

property visible_categories_query

Get a query object for the visible categories within this category, including the category itself.

class indico.modules.categories.models.principals.CategoryPrincipal(**kwargs)

A simple constructor that allows initialization from kwargs.

principal_backref_name = 'in_category_acls'

The name of the backref added to User and LocalGroup. For consistency, it is recommended to name the backref in_foo_acl with foo describing the ACL where this mixin is used.

principal_for = 'Category'

The model for which we are a principal. May also be a string containing the model’s class name.

read_access
registration_form = None

query: IndicoBaseQuery

A SQLAlchemy query for a model. Equivalent to db.session.query(Model). Can be customized per-model by overriding query_class.

Warning

The query interface is considered legacy in SQLAlchemy. Prefer using session.execute(select()) instead.
