Is there a way to set meta data (Title and Description) for login_required pages?
Google is indexing my login_required pages, but it seems as though they are just pulling the title from the link that lead them to the page and then indexing the login form that the page redirects to? The meta description looks something like this: "Sign In. Don't have an account yet? Then please sign up. Login*. Password*. Remember Me. Forgot Password? Sign In. Search · About · Contact · FAQ · Privacy ..." Is there a way to set the meta data for these pages? Or should I just restrict Google from crawling them at all to keep from getting a penalty? -

Data not getting inserted in db in django
Hi I am trying to select data from a dropdown list and then save it in Category model.There is no problem in retrieving the data but when i check it using Category.objects.all(), I get this <QuerySet [<Category: Category object>, <Category: Category object>, <Category: Category object>, <Category: Category object>]> models.py: from future import unicode_literals from django.db import models from django.contrib.auth.models import User class Category(models.Model): user = models.ForeignKey(User) category= models.CharField(max_length=100) views.py: def get_category(request): cname = request.POST.get("dropdown1") user = request.session.get('user') obj=Category(user_id=user,category=cname) obj.save() return HttpResponse("Registeration succesfull") With get_category i am trying to save entry selected from dropdown.It works fine but i guess nothing is being stored in the db. I tried running this Category.objects.get(category = "abc") I get this error: DoesNotExist: Category matching query does not exist.

What is the role of __deepcopy__ in Python class and Django widgtet
First, I know how copy and deepcopy from copy module work for a list. I'm interested the role of __deepcopy special method inside a class. I need to create custom widgets in Django and I try to understand the python code behind. class Widget(metaclass=MediaDefiningClass): needs_multipart_form = False # Determines does this widget need multipart form is_localized = False is_required = False supports_microseconds = True # for data and time values def __init__(self, attrs=None): if attrs is not None: self.attrs = attrs.copy() else: self.attrs = {} def __deepcopy__(self, memo): obj = copy.copy(self) obj.attrs = self.attrs.copy() memo[id(self)] = obj return obj What is happening with deepcopy_ when I make an instance of Widget, or and instance of a subclass of Widget ? Looks like is making a shallow copy of attributes and the object itself , but what is the purpose ? -

Django Cannot load a template in the template path of INSTALLED_APPS
I'm using python 3.5.2 and django 1.11.6. My OS is win10. I cannot load my template in the installed_app path. I've created a file at "polls/template/polls/index.html". I've also add the app, polls, into INSTALLED_APPS and set APP_DIRS in TEMPLATES to True. I cannot figure out why django won't load the template in the INSTALLED_APPS template folder as the tutorial told me. I used the following code snippet to load the template in my view. def index(request): latest_question_list = Question.objects.order_by('-pub_date')[:5] template = loader.get_template('polls/index.html') context = { 'latest_question_list': latest_question_list, } return HttpResponse(template.render(context, request)) I got this TemplateDoesNotExist. I'm wondering that why django doesn't search the path, "polls/template". The paths searched by django are as following. django.template.loaders.app_directories.Loader: C:\Users\XXX\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35\lib\site-packages\django\contrib\admin\templates\polls\index.html (Source does not exist) django.template.loaders.app_directories.Loader: C:\Users\XXX\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35\lib\site-packages\django\contrib\auth\templates\polls\index.html (Source does not exist) My INSTALLED_APPS is as following. INSTALLED_APPS = [ 'polls.apps.PollsConfig', 'django.contrib.admin', 'django.contrib.auth', 'django.contrib.contenttypes', 'django.contrib.sessions', 'django.contrib.messages', 'django.contrib.staticfiles', ] My TEMPLATES setting is as following. TEMPLATES = [ { 'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates', 'DIRS': [], 'APP_DIRS': True, 'OPTIONS': { 'context_processors': [ 'django.template.context_processors.debug', 'django.template.context_processors.request', 'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth', 'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages', ], }, }, ] -
Should a function in a models.py ever reside outside of a class?
In my models.py, I have a couple classes, and a couple manager classes. I have some methods that are general methods used by the model, but not necessarily a part of it. For example: def profile_photo_upload_loc(instance, filename): return "profile_photo/%s/%s" % (instance.user, filename) class Profile(models.Model): profile_photo = models.ImageField( upload_to=profile_photo_upload_loc, null=True, blank=True, width_field='width_field', height_field='height_field', verbose_name='Profile Image', ) Is it okay to have standalone functions outside of classes in the models file? When is it appropriate and when should the functions be inside the class? -
Calculation in django models within certain field of certain item type
I have a table which has a field called first_year_estimate_total and second_year_estimate_total which needs calculation. The calculation is done with all items first_year_estimate and second_year_estimate based on the category(land_capital_items_type) class LandCapital(models.Model): land_capital_items_type = models.ForeignKey( LandCapitalItem, blank=True, null=True, related_name='land_capital') land_item = models.CharField(max_length=200, blank=True, null=True) first_year_estimate = models.DecimalField( decimal_places=2, max_digits=20, default=100.00) second_year_estimate = models.DecimalField( decimal_places=2, max_digits=20, default=100.00) first_year_estimate_total = models.DecimalField( decimal_places=2, max_digits=20, default=100.00) second_year_estimate_total = models.DecimalField( decimal_places=2, max_digits=20, default=100.00) Here first_year_estimate and second_year_estimate has to be filled by the user but first_year_estimate_total and second_year_estimate_total should be based on the calculation. For example if I have the following data land_capital_items_type with item1 CapitalItem1(land_capital_items_type) item1 100 200 item2 500 700 CapitalItem2(land_capital_items_type) item1 400 200 item2 600 300 Now the first_year_estimate_total of CapitalItem1 should be 600(100 of item1 and 500 of item2 first_year_estimate) and second_year_estimate_total of CapitalItem1 should be 900(200 of item1 and 700 of item2 second_year_estimate) Similarly with CapitalItem2 How can I do it so? -

Signin with django authentication from frontend
I have created a view which allows user to sign in. def signin(request): email = request.POST['username'] password = request.POST['password'] user = authenticate(request, username=email, password=password) if user is not None: login(request, user) How should I verify the user is signed in when the user is accessing API that is needed user to be logged in first? The documentation shows that we can use request.user.is_authenticated is true or not to verify. However, I am not using django template but reactJS to send POST request. How should I do it? Should I include a User attribute in json body in POST request? -
Django: changes on css files doesn't load in heroku
I made a web page using Django and uploaded it in Heroku. I've encountered some minor setback on loading the css, js files in heroku for a while, now I've already fixed them(css/js are now loaded). Now the issue that I have encountered is that when updating my navbar styles in my scss file and compiled without any errors(local) and the changes I've made are showing. Now I've pushed my changes to my heroku app, it doesn't change at all. I've researched about the problem and took some of the solution but it doesn't work. In my local: enter image description here In my prod: enter image description here Here is my production.py: PROJECT_ROOT = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)) STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(PROJECT_ROOT, 'staticfiles') STATIC_URL = '/static/' STATICFILES_DIRS = ( os.path.join(PROJECT_ROOT, 'static'), ) STATICFILES_STORAGE = 'whitenoise.storage.CompressedManifestStaticFilesStorage' My wsgi.py: from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application from whitenoise.django import DjangoWhiteNoise import os os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "settings.production") application = get_wsgi_application() application = DjangoWhiteNoise(application) I've followed this: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/django-assets#collectstatic-during-builds and also Two-scoops-of-Django-1.11 for best practices. -

Add ForeignKey field to default User without modifying it?
I am using the default User model, and created a custom model called Team. A user can only be on one team, but a team can have many users. Therefore, I must create the ForeignKey field within the User model. The thing is, I'm using the default User by simply importing User with from django.contrib.auth.models import User What is the easiest way of adding a ForeignKey field into the default User model? Or is there a way for me to add a ForeignKey field into Team, and swap the relationship between User and Team? -
Django CreateView messes up bootstrap-modal
Rather a curious problem: My modal works perfectly until I associate the template containing it with a CreateView! So for example if I change template_name in BrandCreateView to new_brand_form1.html, new_brand_form2.html will load perfectly in the modal. But as it stands now, when I click the button that triggers the modal, I get this. views.py: class BrandCreateView(SuccessMessageMixin ,generic.edit.CreateView): template_name = 'new_brand_form2.html' model = Brand fields = ['name'] def get_success_url(self): current_business = Business.objects.filter(owner=self.request.user).first() current_business.brands.add(self.object.pk) return reverse_lazy('index', kwargs={'pk': self.object.pk}) # pre assign-current business to the business field def get_initial(self): initial = super().get_initial() initial['business'] = Business.objects.filter(owner=self.request.user).first() self.business_name = initial['business'] return initial def form_valid(self, form): form.instance.user = self.request form.instance.business = self.business_name try: return super(BrandCreateView, self).form_valid(form) except IntegrityError: form.add_error('name' ,'You already have a brand by that name') return self.form_invalid(form) new_brand_form2.html: <div class="modal fade" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" id="createbrand"> <div class="modal-dialog" role="document"> <div class="modal-content"> <div class="modal-header"> <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close"><span aria-hidden="true">&times;</span></button> <h4 class="modal-title">Modal title</h4> </div> <div class="modal-body"> <form class="form-horizontal"> {{ form.as_p }} </form> </div> <div class="modal-footer"> <button type="button" class="btn btn-default" data-dismiss="modal">Close</button> <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Save changes</button> </div> </div><!-- /.modal-content --> </div><!-- /.modal-dialog --> </div>
