Show a logged in user their own information from a database model
I am relatively new to Django, and web development in general. Basically, I'm trying to build a website with two types of users: customers, and suppliers. Both the customers and suppliers have user accounts (containing a username, email, and password) created using Django's built-in 'from django.contrib.auth import login -forms.Form' and stored in the table 'auth_user' in my mySQL database. But, the suppliers can also create a more detailed profile (name, bio, images etc) which is created using a 'forms.ModelForm' called 'SupplierSignupForm' and stored in a separate table to 'auth_user', called 'home_suppliersignup'. What I want to happen is, when a supplier is logged in, they can click on their 'my profile' link in the header and be taken to their profile located in the 'home_suppliersignup' table in my database. Currently, I know how to call a logged in users ID from the table 'auth_user' using their session info, and then use that to link to their respective 'auth_user' profile: views.py user = request.user template <a href="{% url 'supplier_profile' id=user.id %}">My profile</a> urls.py url(r'^supplier-profile/(?P<id>[0-9]+)', supplier_profile, name="supplier_profile") But I don't know how to use this to pull up their information from another database table (i.e. home_suppliersignup). Any help would be much appreciated! -

Tensor Flow custom re-training model with new Images as they are uploaded
I have a Django web app hosted on Heroku and am pretty ok using pretrained model like inception and mobilenet to classify images with tensorflow.

Django getting value from a Jquery Post
Task: it is the implementation of checking on the fly at run time if a word has been taken I have used jquery in the past and never had problems with PHP but I m new to Django: This code is imported in a page called home.py and it will want to send the value picked from a textfield to a receiving page called checkkeyword.py. But before getting to that I wanted to see if the receiving page actually responded and the baffling thing is that what I get is the whole content of what is written in checkkeyword.py. That is, I enter a character in the text field, and yes, I get a reply right next to it, but the reply is the full content of whatever is written in checkkeyword.py. Why? $( document ).ready(function() { $('#keyword').keyup(function() { var keyword = $(this).val(); $('#keyword_status').text('searching ...'); if(keyword!= ''){ $.post('/static/js/checkkeyword.py', {param: keyword}, function (data){ $('#keyword_status').text(data); }); } }); }); If checkkeyword.py contains "hello", it will return hello. If it contains print("hello"), it will return print("hello") etc For testing purposes, I placed, as you can see, the checkkeyword.py inside the same directory where the jquery file is. I have seen some posts about … -

get_children not working. get_descendants does. But i can't use that
I am currently working on the navbar of a project with Django-cms. I am fairly new to this framework and language, so sorry if this is a stupid question. This has double dropdowns, which respond to user changes in the Django-cms admin interface. Which works. Sort of. The problem is that get_children doesn't work (no errors or something, just not detecting children, and showing the 'should be dropdown button' as a non dropdown version), but get_descendants does. But if i use that the content of the second dropdown will be shown again in the first dropdown. So children will be perfect, as it will only show the direct descendants, instead of all. {% load cms_tags menu_tags sekizai_tags staticfiles%} {% load menu_tags %} {% for child in children %} <!--non dropdown--> {% if child.is_leaf_node %} <li><a href="{{ child.get_absolute_url }}">{{child.get_menu_title }}</a></li> {% endif %} <!--dropdown 1--> {% if not child.is_leaf_node or child.ancestor %} <div class="dropdown"> <li><a href="{{ child.get_absolute_url }}" class="dropbtn">{{child.get_menu_title }}<b class="caret"></b></a></li> <!-- dropdown 1 content--> {% if child.get_descendants %} <div class="dropdown-content"> {% for kid in child.get_descendants %} <!--non dropdown--> {% if kid.is_leaf_node %} <li><a href="{{ child.get_absolute_url }}">{{child.get_menu_title }}</a></li> {% endif %} <!--dropdown 2 --> {% if not child.is_leaf_node or child.ancestor %} … -

How to join two tables across dbs using django ORM?
I want to perform the equivalent SQL query using django's ORM: USE TRADING_DB; SELECT NAME, BUY_UNITS, BUY_NAV, SELL_UNITS, SELL_NAV,PANDL FROM MUTUAL_FUND_POSITIONS INNER JOIN MUTUAL_FUND_DB.MF_NAV_DATA AS NAV ON NAV.ISIN = MUTUAL_FUND_POSITIONS.MF_ISIN WHERE STATUS='OPEN' AND CLIENT_ID="Z712A"; Let's assume I have the following models: class MutualFundPositions(models.Model): pos_id = models.AutoField(db_column='POS_ID', primary_key=True) client_id = models.CharField(db_column='CLIENT_ID', max_length=45) mf_isin = models.CharField(db_column='MF_ISIN', max_length=100) buy_units = models.DecimalField(db_column='BUY_UNITS', max_digits=10, decimal_places=5) buy_nav = models.DecimalField(db_column='BUY_NAV', max_digits=10, decimal_places=5) sell_units = models.DecimalField(db_column='SELL_UNITS', max_digits=10, decimal_places=5) sell_nav = models.DecimalField(db_column='SELL_NAV', max_digits=10, decimal_places=5) status = models.CharField(db_column='STATUS', max_length=45) product = models.CharField(db_column='PRODUCT', max_length=45, blank=True, null=True) pandl = models.DecimalField(db_column='PANDL', max_digits=10, decimal_places=2, blank=True, null=True) class Meta: managed = False db_table = 'MUTUAL_FUND_POSITIONS' class MfNavData(models.Model): scheme_code = models.IntegerField(db_column='SCHEME_CODE') isin = models.CharField(db_column='ISIN', primary_key=True, max_length=45) name = models.CharField(db_column='NAME', max_length=500) class Meta: managed = False db_table = 'MF_NAV_DATA' unique_together = (('isin', 'name'),) How would I do that with Django's ORM?

How to couple django oauth2 with javascript (reactjs) frontend correctly?
I've got a big problem to correctly implement (couple) oauth2 within Django project with Javascript (reactjs) frontend. As a backend we are using Django server - this server offers some APIs to store or retrieve data from SQL database. I am following this guide: Django OAuth Toolkit Documentation and using password based grant type (there are three others at disposal). What is working for me is that I can access server's API calls via command line using curl. That is, I know how to acquire token using URL like example.com/o/token and then I can call some of my APIs with granted token within header as "Authorization: Bearer acquired_token". I am new to OAuth within little knowledge on this topic so far. For information: all the stuff is running within Docker container. Reactjs is build using webpack. Within first request (clean browser cache - no javascript/reactjs available) django server is contacted and it servers index.html page with all the javascript stuff. Then Reactjs is present in browser and runs the Reactjs frontend which makes calls to APIs to get data from database and show them within some tables, etc. My problem and question is what needs to be done on frontend … -

Substitute for Django session
I'm saving great amount of data in Django session and it takes from few seconds to minutes to retrieve it. For example, I save a Json list of 100 milion models and when I need to use this list, I retrieve it very frequently which causes awful performances.

Django REST zip file download return empty zip
I'm writing a script to download a zip file. I read a lot around on how to do this, but i still got some troubles. As you can see in the code, I first create a tempfile, write data on it, then zip it and download. The problem is the result: a zip archive with an empty file inside. This is the code: f = tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile() f.write(html.encode('utf-8')) print(f.read) #the "writing of tmp file" seem to work, the expected output is right fzip = ZipFile("test.zip","w") fzip.write(f.name,'exercise.html') #this file remains empty response = HttpResponse(fzip, content_type="application/zip") response['Content-Disposition'] = 'attachment; "filename=test.zip"' return response I already tried to set NamedTemporaryFile(delete=False) or to seek(0) and stuff like that. I think the problem is the fzip.write, but actually I can't figure other solutions, can anyone help? thanks :) -
Django default value not being assigned! django 1.11 python 3.6
