Django populate form
In my modelClass in admin.py I've defined sub-classes "changelist_view" and "changeform_view" to send two custom values to my template view. As result when I open the change page of my model form it remain empty. Can I populate the form? class WorkerAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin): change_form_template = 'admin/change_form.html' change_list_template = 'admin/change_list.html' form = WorkerAdminForm def changelist_view(self, request, extra_context=None): extra_context = extra_context or {} extra_context['model_title'] = 'Workers' extra_context['page_title'] = 'Workers Manage' return super(WorkerAdmin, self).changelist_view(request, extra_context=extra_context) def changeform_view(self, request, object_id=None, form_url='', extra_context=None): extra_context = extra_context or {} extra_context['model_title'] = 'Workers' extra_context['page_title'] = 'Worker Add' return super(WorkerAdmin, self).changeform_view(request, extra_context=extra_context) admin.site.register(Worker, WorkerAdmin) -
How to deal with the two custom User model case in Django?
I make two models that inherit form from django.contrib.auth.models import AbstractUser, names User and AdminUser. But there are check identified errors when runserver, so I add : AUTH_USER_MODEL = "qiyun_admin_usermanage.User" In my settings.py. the half error gone, but there still has the qiyun_admin_usermanage.AdminUser's issue. I don't know whether I can set two custom models in the AUTH_USER_MODEL, or there must only be one AUTH_USER_MODEL? The traceback: ... django.core.management.base.SystemCheckError: SystemCheckError: System check identified some issues: ERRORS: qiyun_admin_usermanage.AdminUser.groups: (fields.E304) Reverse accessor for 'AdminUser.groups' clashes with reverse accessor for 'User.groups'.

How to escape html character in django sending email
I design a email verify mechanism in my django app. When sending email with the verify link, there're some escape character, such as the 'amp;' in http://localhost:8000/confirm/username=testuser1&token=4qy-c97f409d02dcddfca663 The original string is fine, but when sent out with email it become some strange words -
Admin password change does not take effect
Session expired for my local environment admin user and I can't remember the password. Well, I thought I did remember it but the login just rejected it so I guess it is a different one. I am trying to change the admin's password so I can log in, but none of the ways I have tried worked: python manage.py changepassword myadmin Does report that the password change was successful, however the login keeps failing. I have also tried changing it via shell: u = User.objects.first() # there is only one user: the admin pwd = make_password('admin') u.password = pwd u.save() At first this didn't seem to be working because u.password didn't output the same than pwd. But now for some reason it does. However, u.password == make_password('admin') evaluates to False, but check_password('admin', u.password) evaluates to True. I guess the reason of this disparity is the used seed. I don't even know what's going on. I have been able to change admin passwords in the past without a problem. How can I solve this issue? -

Whether I extend the AdminUser should inherit from AbstractUser?
Previous, I extend the AdminUser from AbstractUser: class AdminUser(AbstractUser): username = models.CharField(max_length=16) password = models.CharField(max_length=40) # sha1加密 real_name = models.CharField(max_length=12, null=True, blank=True) phone = models.CharField(max_length=11) # 手机号码 is_staff = models.BooleanField(default=True) is_superuser = models.BooleanField(default=False) You see I use the is_staff and is_superuser to define whether is a admin user. But, today when I read the Django document: There is Admin and UserAdmin: from django.contrib.auth.admin import UserAdmin as BaseUserAdmin Whether I was wrong to subclass from AbstractUser? whether I should inherit from BaseUserAdmin or UserAdmin? -
Django doesn't manage properly auto generated class from models
I have designed my tables in mssql and then autogenerated the models with the inspectdb tools. But when I modify the models and run the makemigrations tools, django recreate all the tables as if they didnt exist in the first place, and prevent me from migrating the newly modified tables. I removed the managed=False from the autogenerated models as advised and I am using pyodbc as mssql librairy I would like to be able to modify the models and only carry that changes to mssql as it is supposed to be. -

Is there a risk in my design User in Django？
I am creating the extend User like bellow: class User(AbstractUser): username = models.CharField(max_length=16) password = models.CharField(max_length=40) # sha1加密 real_name = models.CharField(max_length=12, null=True, blank=True) phone = models.CharField(max_length=11) # 手机号码 email = models.EmailField(blank=True, null=True) qq = models.CharField(max_length=10, null=True, blank=True) address = models.CharField(max_length=64, blank=True, null=True) # 地址 nickname = models.CharField(max_length=16, blank=True, null=True) is_staff = True is_superuser = False You see there are two fields here: is_staff = False is_superuser = False So, when I create the AdminUser, if there is a risk? Because the hacker may use : AdminUser(xxxxx, is_staff=True, is_superuser=True, xxx) to create a superuser. Or whether my User model is complete wrong? -

Django_Filter - Only Allowing Certain ForeignKey Options to Be Selected
I'm using django_filters for users to filter through campaigns. I have different groups and users within those groups. I have the view set-up fine so that only the campaigns for the group will show up and the respective users within that group can view them. For the filter, though, there is an option for filtering by User, the foreign key. It lists every user. I want it to only list users within the group of the current, request.user. I was able to do it on ModelForm but not on django_filters. filters.py class CampaignFilter(django_filters.FilterSet): #def group(self): # user = self.request.user # print user # group = Group.objects.get(user=user) # users = User.objects.filter(groups=group) # return users #sender = django_filters.ModelChoiceFilter(queryset=group) @staticmethod def __init__(self, group, *args, **kwargs): super(CampaignFilter, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs) # populates the post self.form.fields['sender'].queryset = User.objects.filter(groups=group) title = django_filters.CharFilter(lookup_expr='icontains') date = django_filters.DateFromToRangeFilter( label='Date', widget=django_filters.widgets.RangeWidget(attrs={'placeholder': 'Date'})) class Meta: model = Campaign fields = ['title', 'sender', 'template', 'send_time', 'date', ] views.py def campaigns(request): user = request.user group = Group.objects.get(user=user) q = request.GET.get('q') if q: campaigns = Campaign.objects.filter(sender_group=group) results = campaigns.objects.filter( Q(title__icontains=q)) else: campaigns = Campaign.objects.filter(sender_group=group) results = campaigns.all().order_by('-date') if request.method == 'GET' and 'filter' in request.GET: filter = CampaignFilter(request.GET, group=group, queryset=Campaign.objects.filter(sender_group=group)) campaignTable = CampaignTable(filter.qs) RequestConfig(request, paginate={'per_page': … -

Over-ride DRF custom exception response
I want to send error_codes while sending the response back to the client, in case of an error!! So, I've a form where params a and b is required. If any of the param is not POSTed, then DRF serializer sends back a response saying This field is required. I want to add the error code to the response as well for the client to identify. Different errors different error codes. So, I wrote my own custom exception handler. It goes like this. response = exception_handler(exc, context) if response is not None: error = { 'error_code': error_code, # Need to identify the error code, based on the type of fail response. 'errors': response.data } return Response(error, status=http_code) return response The problem I'm facing is that I need to identify the type of exception received, so that I can send the error_code accordingly. How can I achieve this? -

Messaging App With Django
I'm trying to build a messaging app, here's my model, class Message(models.Model): sender = models.ForeignKey(User, related_name="sender") receiver = models.ForeignKey(User, related_name="receiver") ... created_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True) I wants to order the Users based upon who sent a message to request.user & to whom request.user sent a message most recently! As we see on social networks. This is what I tried, users = User.objects.filter(Q(sender__receiver=request.user) | Q(receiver__sender=request.user)).annotate(Max('receiver')).order_by('-receiver__max') This code is working fine only when request.user sends someone a message (It re-orders their name & place it to the top). But, It's not changing the order of users in case if someone sends a message to request.user. I also tried, users = Message.objects.filter(Q(sender=request.user) | Q(receiver=request.user)).order_by("created_at") But, I could't filter out the distinct users. It's showing equal number of users as messages. Also, I have to use {{ users.sender }} OR {{ users.receiver }} in order to print the users name which is a problem itself in case of ordering & distinct users. Please help me, how can I do that? -
How to pass JavaScript variables to React component
I'm somewhat new to React and I'm having some trouble passing some variables from my Django server to my React components. Here's what I have: The server is Django, and I have a url mydomain.com/testview/ that gets mapped to a views.py function testview: def testview(request): now = datetime.datetime.now() return render(request, 'testview.html', { 'foo': '%s' % str(now), 'myVar': 'someString' }) In other words, running testview will render the template file testview.html and will use the variables foo and myVar. The file testview.html inherits from base.html which looks like this: <!doctype html> <html class="no-js" lang=""> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <meta http-equiv="x-ua-compatible" content="ie=edge"> </head> <body> {% block main %}{% endblock %} </body> </html> The file test.html basically inserts the needed code into block main: testview.html: {% extends "base.html" %} {% load render_bundle from webpack_loader %} {% block main %} <script type="text/javascript"> var foo = {{ foo }}; var myVar = {{ myVar }}; </script> <div id="App"></div> {% render_bundle 'vendors' %} {% render_bundle 'App' %} {% endblock %} Note that just before the div id="App", I created a couple of javascript variables foo and myVar and set them to the values from Django.

Django: Can you format DateTimeField in annotate?
I have Customer and Order models and I would like to get the last order date of each customer and format it. I have the following code in views: customers = ( User.objects .prefetch_related('orders', 'addresses') .select_related('default_billing_address', 'default_shipping_address') .annotate( num_orders=Count('orders', distinct=True), last_order=Max('orders', distinct=True), last_order_date=Max('orders__created', distinct=True), gross_sales=Sum('orders__total_net'))) last_order_date is returning date in this format: Nov. 1, 2017, 11:39 p.m. I would like to update it so it returns 11/01/2017 only. How can I achieve this? I tried this: last_order_date=Max(('orders__created').strftime("%d/%m/%Y"), distinct=True), but it turns out ('orders__created') is already returning an str, I got this error: 'str' object has no attribute 'strftime' I also tried creating a method in orders that will return a formatted created field: def get_day_created(self): self.created.strftime("%d/%m/%Y") but i'm not sure if I can call it in annotate and how to properly do it. 'orders__get_day_created()' is giving me the error: Cannot resolve keyword 'get_day_created()' into field. Please advise :) Thank you -
