Can't make 1 of the forms not reqired
I've got 2 forms on 1 page, It seems like this: <form method='post' enctype="multipart/form-data" id="formUpload"> {% csrf_token %} {{ image_form }} <button type="submit" class="js-crop-and-upload" name="crop" value="crop">Crop</button> {{ profile_form.as_p }} <button type="submit" class="btn" name="save_profile" value="save_profile">Submit</button> </form> This html form contain ProfileForm for profile data and ImageForm for Profile.image field. I want to save Images clicking button "submit" with name="crop" and save profile clicking button "submit" with name="save_profile". I could easily do this by splitting this html form like this: <form method='post' enctype="multipart/form-data" id="formUpload"> {% csrf_token %} {{ image_form }} <button type="submit" class="js-crop-and-upload" name="crop" value="crop">Crop</button> </form> <form method='post'> {{ profile_form.as_p }} {% csrf_token %} <button type="submit" class="btn" name="save_profile" value="save_profile">Submit</button> </form> But here if I would press submit "crop" - all data in profile form would be deleted. I'm really stuck, because when fill profile fields and press submit with name "save_profile" django tells me that fields from image_form are required and don't send POST to my view, also when some of the fields in profile_form are not filled I couldn't save image using image_form. Also I'm sending my view if this is needed: view: @login_required def profile_new(request): if Profile.objects.filter(user=request.user): return redirect('profile_edit') created_image = Photo.objects.filter(created_by=request.user) if request.method != "POST": profile_form = ProfileForm() image_form … -
Translate Function Success into Function then
I am trying to get django-rest-framework running with angularjs. In order to do the authorization I found django-rest-auth and angular-django-registration-auth Unfortunately the djangoAuth.js is using the depreciated function success within the 'request' variable and I get the following error message: TypeError: $http(...).success is not a function I tried to rewrite the code using the then function, but only end up in the error-Callback. What do I have to change? Thanks for your help. djangoAuth.js - Orginal auth .service('djangoAuth', function djangoAuth($q, $http, $cookies, $rootScope) { // AngularJS will instantiate a singleton by calling "new" on this function var service = { /* START CUSTOMIZATION HERE */ // Change this to point to your Django REST Auth API // e.g. /api/rest-auth (DO NOT INCLUDE ENDING SLASH) 'API_URL': 'localhost:8000/rest-auth', // Set use_session to true to use Django sessions to store security token. // Set use_session to false to store the security token locally and transmit it as a custom header.

Keep div with and image the same height as other div with some text
I'm developing a web page in Django and in it there's a list of the last 5 news that I add with a for loop. The news item has an image on the left, and the title, date and the first 50 words of the news on the right. The image and the text are in separate divs inside another div. I would like to make the image div the same size as the text div, not the other way around. Not all the images have the same dimension. I prefer not to limit the size of the divs with a px value for responsive purposes. I'm using Bootstrap 3.3.7. Here is the Fiddle of what I have now. Is there a way to accomplish this with CSS? -

Django - Selecting a particular object from a set of objects
I have the following models in my Django app: class Review(models.Model): ID = models.AutoField(primary_key=True) text = models.CharField(max_length=1000) review_user = models.ForeignKey("User", on_delete=models.CASCADE) review_book = models.ForeignKey("Book", on_delete=models.CASCADE) class Review_is_helpful(models.Model): ID = models.AutoField(primary_key=True) is_helpful = models.BooleanField() # associated user who gave the review, and the review itself review_user = models.ForeignKey('User', on_delete=models.CASCADE) on_review = models.ForeignKey('Review', on_delete=models.CASCADE) class Book(models.Model): ID = models.AutoField(primary_key=True) name = models.CharField(max_length=50) description = models.CharField(max_length=1000) class User(models.Model): ID = models.AutoField(primary_key=True) For every book, we will have any number of reviews, and for each review, users can tag the review as Helpful/Not helpful (or not tag at all). Now, if I have a Review QuerySet reviews, and a User object user inside a view function, I want to additionally have the following for each review in the QuerySet: 1. If the review has been tagged by the user as Helpful/Not helpful (the corresponding Review_is_helpful object exists), then the corresponding Review_is_helpful object should be there along with the review object. 2. If the user hasn't tagged the review as Helpful/Not helpful (the corresponding Review_is_helpful object does not exist), then any suitable false value, like None will be okay. I was looking for something along the lines of using reviews.annotate(...), but I'm not sure what … -
importing arbitrary fields of a model from excel by django-import-export

Object not found, but does exist
I have an existing working site, that takes advantage of Adobe Lightroom's catalog being an sqlite3 db. The model is auto-generated. Whilst updating the code for the site (to TemplateView and streamlining), I thought I'd get adventurous and pull on one of the class models to get the information about how many times a face (person) appears in the photos. The model: class Aglibrarykeywordpopularity(models.Model): id_local = models.IntegerField(primary_key=True, blank=True, null=False) occurrences = models.TextField() # This field type is a guess. popularity = models.TextField() # This field type is a guess. tag = models.TextField(unique=True) # This field type is a guess. class Meta: managed = False db_table = 'AgLibraryKeywordPopularity' The 'tag' value is obtainable from another model, where it's called 'id_local': face_id = list(Aglibrarykeyword.objects.values_list('id_local', flat=True)) The values for the 'face_id' are all present in the previous 'tag' field when you view the db. However, when using: for a in face_id: face_pop.append(Aglibrarykeywordpopularity.objects.get(tag=a).occurrences) .. it complains that there are no matches. I've substituted 'a' for a number, or string of the number, even adding '.0' to the representation, and it still complains no matches. I've tried .filter...first() etc. slides.models.DoesNotExist: Aglibrarykeywordpopularity matching query does not exist My current work-around is going to output All() of … -

Django: Working With Messages
I'm trying to create a messaging app similar to what we see on social networks. Here's my model, class Message(models.Model): sender = models.ForeignKey(User, related_name="sender") receiver = models.ForeignKey(User, related_name="receiver") ... timestamp = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True) Everything is fine I can filter out the messages for request.user, but couldn't order the users.

How to handle AuthAlreadyAssociated at Python-auth/Django-Social?

Django aggregation and filtering
I am working with a model having a date, a group, and an identifier. I want to retrieve for each group the id of the minimum date value. My model: class MyModel(models.Model): group = models.ForeignKey('myapp.Group') date = models.DateTimeField(blank=True, null=True) The goal is to retrieve this: [ (u'group1', datetime.date(2016, 1, 23), 15 <- Id of the minimum date for group1), (u'group2', datetime.date(2015, 6, 25), 314 <- Id of the minimum date for group2), ... ] I tried the following: MyModel.objects.values_list('group').annotate(Min('date')).order_by('group') This works fine but gives me the date: [ (u'group1', datetime.date(2016, 1, 23)), (u'group2', datetime.date(2015, 6, 25)), (u'group3', datetime.date(2015, 6, 26)) ... ] I cannot find a way to add the id to those tuples without breaking the grouping clause in SQL.

Hidden fields, auto assign values in django
I am still a newbie on django and Python. This is also my first question. I am trying to create a hidden field and auto assign a value to the hidden field. It can be either in the views or in the templates. I have a field "kind" that needs to be hidden. Also I need to assign a value to it depending on different views/templates so it populates the database. This is my class view: class Monthlypage(CreateView): template_name = 'monthly.html' model = models.Lead form = forms.LeadForm() fields = ['name','email','tel','kind'] This is my model form: class LeadForm(forms.ModelForm): def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs): kind = models.Lead.kind class Meta: model = models.Lead kind = forms.CharField(widget=forms.HiddenInput()) fields = ['name','email','tel','kind'] This is my model: class Lead(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=265) email = models.EmailField(max_length=265) tel = models.IntegerField() kind = models.CharField(max_length=265) def __str__(self): return self.name def get_absolute_url(self): return reverse('registrations') This is my template: <form class="" method="post"> {% csrf_token %} {% bootstrap_form form %} <input type="hidden" name="kind" value="{{ form.kind.monthly }}" /> <input type="submit" name="" value="Submit" class="btn btn-info"> I have tried many options and spend 2 days using different solutions. But no matter what I do I can't seem to populate the kind field in the database. -
