Cant get to data to save from form Django
I am creating a job board site. Right now I can successfully register an Employer but when I try to create a job listing while logged in as an Employer, the data from the form does not save to the database. I have the following models.py: from django.db import models from django.contrib.auth.models import User from django.db.models.signals import post_save from django.dispatch import receiver from django.http import HttpResponse # Create your models here. class Employer(models.Model): user = models.OneToOneField(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE) def __str__(self): return self.user.first_name @receiver(post_save, sender=User) def create_employer(sender, instance, created, **kwargs): if created: Employer.objects.create(user=instance) @receiver(post_save, sender=User) def save_employer(sender, instance, **kwargs): instance.employer.save() class Job(models.Model): poster = models.ForeignKey(Employer, on_delete=models.CASCADE) job_title = models.CharField(max_length=50) establishment_name = models.CharField(max_length = 50) details = models.TextField(max_length = 2000) salary = models.CharField(max_length = 20) address = models.CharField(max_length = 50) state = models.CharField(max_length = 20) zip_code = models.CharField(max_length = 10) def __str__(self): return self.job_title + " - " + self.establishment_name \ + ", " + self.poster.user.first_name + " " +self.poster.user.last_name A user can register as an employer just fine, but I am having problems getting Jobs to save to the database.

How to make a button click update the database and redirect to a view in Django?
I have been struggling with this for a while, any help would be appreciated! Basically, what I want to do is click an HTML button in Django, change a field in the database (of the object with the primary key in question), and redirect back to home. An example for clarity: Currently, I am working in the url: http://127.0.0.1:8000/result/edit/1/. The /1/ is the primary key of the model I want to change. The model is a custom group-model, with a field called "status". Status can be "approved", or "not approved": status = models.CharField(max_length=30, default=Status.not_sent, choices=Status.choices(), null=False) In the url result/edit/1/ I have an "Approve" button. When I click the button I want to change status in the model, and save that in the database. Also, after changing status I would like to redirect back to home. I have written the following method in views to do it: def approve_group(request, pk): group = Group.objects.filter(pk=pk) group.status = Status.approved group.save() return redirect(request, 'home') In the html, I have created the following button: <a href="{% url 'resultregistration:approve_group' %}" /> <button id="approve-btn" />Approve</button> </a> My reasoning is that the button should call this URL, which should again call the function in the view: url(r'^result/approve/(?P<pk>\d+)/$', views.approve_group, … -

DJango CreateView not setting attributes before data is saved to the DB
New to using Django over here. I am trying to create a DJango form that will save data to the database. To do this, I am using CreateView When calling the URL that is to "do the work", I have it set up as follows (so, a parameter is being passed in as well) url(r'^owner/contacts/add/(?P<tenantid>[0-9]+)/$', views.MstrstoreheadcontactCreateView.as_view(), name='owner-contact-add'), Problem: When trying to save data to the DB, I get an error that seems to be due to some fields not being set properly the exact error message I am getting is: The above exception (ORA-02291: integrity constraint (ORAAPPS.SYS_C009216) violated - parent key not found) was the direct cause This is how the Model is defined: class Mstrstoreheadcontact(models.Model): tenantid = models.ForeignKey('Mstrauthowner', models.DO_NOTHING, db_column='tenantid', blank=True, null=True) contactid = models.BigIntegerField(primary_key=True) genderid = models.BigIntegerField(blank=True, null=True) firstname = models.CharField(max_length=20, blank=True, null=True) lastname = models.CharField(max_length=20, blank=True, null=True) officephoneno = models.CharField(max_length=20, blank=True, null=True) cellphoneno = models.CharField(max_length=20, blank=True, null=True) class Meta: managed = False db_table = 'MstrStoreHeadContact' it was created using the inspectdb option (used to auto-generate classes for tables that already exist in a database) This is how the CreateView is being defined in views.py class MstrstoreheadcontactCreateView( CreateView ): model = Mstrstoreheadcontact fields = [ 'firstname', 'lastname', 'officephoneno', … -
Django Python How to Compare Encrypt User's Password
I am working a project which is like CMS (Content Management System) for a website. I am developing this system with django python. But I am new to django python. I have my own User model (not django user model) that contains some fields like username, email, password etc. and I create new user from my own admin panel. How can I compare encrypted password with user's password that post on login page. For example first time I create user, the password for 123 saved on db like pbkdf2_sha24123$000asd$... After that I am trying to login with password 123 but I get error that the passwords are not equals. from django.contrib.auth.hashers import make_password from account.models import myUsers password = make_password(request.POST.get('password')) email = request.POST.get('email') if myUsers.password == password and myUsers.email == email: #make login and redirect to panel else: #show error message -
Django passing parameter to CreateView and filling the form with it
I want to make a CreateView with the form already completed with an argument that will be passed to it from another view. There is the initial view with an input field. Like this: <form role="form" action="" method="post"> {% csrf_token %} <div class="col-sm-6"> <div class="form-group"> <div class="form-line"> <label>{{form.cpf.label}}</label><strong style="color:red;"> *</strong> {% if form.cpf.errors %}<label class="error">{% for error in form.cpf.errors %}{{error}}{% endfor %}</label>{% endif %} {{form.cpf}} </div> </div> </div> <button class="btn btn-success foot-btn" type="submit"><i style="vertical-align:middle" class="material-icons">add</i><span style="vertical-align:middle">Verificar</span></button> </form> When the user submits this form he will be redirected to another page. Asking if he wants to insert that value in the DB. Right now I'm trying to redirect like this, trying to pass the POST value as a parameter to the CreateView return redirect(reverse('blacklist:addcpfview', args=(request.POST['cpf'],))) But I can't seem to get this parameter in the CreateView. I know this I'm probably very wrong in the way I'm currently doing, but I'm a beginner with Django and want to know the best way to do this. -
Django: Redirect "name 'request' is not defined"
Here's my View, class ObjLike(RedirectView): def get_redirect_url(self, *args, **kwargs): id = self.kwargs.get('id') obj = get_object_or_404(Data, id=id) user = self.request.user if user.is_authenticated(): if user in obj.likes.all(): obj.likes.remove(user) else: obj.likes.add(user) So after this view how can I redirect user to the same page? I used "return redirect(request.META['HTTP_REFERER'])" but it gives an error "name 'request' is not defined" I can't use the get absolute URL method, i'm using this view at several places. So, how can I do that? -

Django URL patterns to serve external webpack bundle
I'm writing a django rest framework API (backend) with a react SPA frontend. For the production environment, the front end is served up via nginx at http://example.com/ and the backend is proxied to gunicorn and served from the same domain with a different path - http://example.com/api/ This is all working fine in production, there are no CORS issues as the frontend and backend are both served up under the same domain via nginx. For local development, I want to be able to replicate a similar setup using ./manage.py runserver and have django serve up the frontend from project/frontend/dist (built by npm build seperately). Has anyone got any urlpattern wizardry that will allow this to happen and also let the react-router play nicely? I just can't figure it out and it's starting to drive me nuts... The project structure is something like this if it helps in any explanations.

Django ORM - MySQL query count optimization for related models
I have two related models, that looks like below: class Enterprise(models.Model): id = models.AutoField(primary_key=True) subsystem_id = models.IntegerField() name = models.CharField(max_length=255, unique=True) modif_date = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True) active = models.BooleanField(default=True) class Project(models.Model): id = models.AutoField(primary_key=True) subsystem_id = models.IntegerField() name = models.CharField(max_length=255) modif_date = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True) enterprise = models.ForeignKey('Enterprise' on_delete = CASCADE) active = models.BooleanField(default=True) In my view, need to get all active Enterprises and list them. I'm doing it this way: enterprise_list = Enterprise.objects.annotate(project_count=Count('project')).filter( Q(active=True) | Q(subsystem_id=-1), project_count__gt=0 ) serializer = EnterpriseSerializer(enterprise_list, many=True) Then, my serializer is displaying project list with some additional query: class EnterpriseSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer): id = serializers.IntegerField(required=False) name = serializers.CharField(max_length=255, required=False) project_list = serializers.SerializerMethodField() def get_project_list(self, enterprise): project_list = Project.objects.filter(Q(active=True) | Q(subsystem_id=-1), enterprise=enterprise) serializer = ProjectSerializer(project_list, many=True) return serializer.data class Meta: model = Enterprise fields = ('id', 'name', 'project_list') This code is working fine, but it has very serious issue - performance. The first query for Enterprise returns list of ~1500 object. Then, for every object, serializer executes single query to fetch additional data for project which results to ~1500 queries. I've tried prefetch_related and select_related but either I'm doing something wrong or it doesn't work in my case. In the other hand I can get list of project first. This could … -

Django CSS takes time to refresh

already made a website, now i need it to convert it into an android/ios app
i've been learning and building websites for 5 months. Currently i use js (angular2); html5 css(foundation); and python (django).I've already created a basic website [blog] and considering turning it into an app {android / ios} native apps isn't in my interests (the development takes too long, ecspecially when i have to learn java AND swift). So, i am taking "the hybrid app" approuch. i've read that foundation doesn't work well with ionic (the framework i want to use).the reason i am using ionic instead of foundation for apps is because ionic gives far more acsess to mobile features (bluetooth, photo, data, etc). i read that servers that work for desktop aren't good with moble applications. here are my questions: how do i convert a website into an app? since i can't use foundation and ionic at the same time, do i create a seperate project where i use ionic instead of foundation? then if my app and my website files are seperate, do i have to make seperate servers and one database(i will use database mirroring) or connect them to one server? if i connect them to one server how do i handle mobile requests from desktop ones? -
