deploying a django app on osx
I am using OS X El Capitan with server app v 5.1. I created a simple app using Django in \Library\Server\Web\Data\WebApps. The app is called mysite (actually it is an empty app created with django). Can anyone help me with the deployment of this app? I cannot seem to find any documentation or tutorial on how to do this. Is there a way to add it to the server appp^ and which .conf or .wsgi or com.something should I change. Any help is really appreciated. Thank you -
Permission denied for relation django_migrations using Heroku
While attempting to migrate database changes using django on Heroku, I get: psycopg2.ProgrammingError: permission denied for relation django_migrations Other people have been able to resolve this issue by granting the appropriate privileges (e.g., Permission denied for relation). Unfortunately, I can't grant permissions or create a new user on the Heroku hobby tier. I was able to rolling back some migrations, but eventually I got: django.db.utils.ProgrammingError: table "labs_branch_tests" does not exist and could not migrate back to newer migrations.

Why is my form creating a new model object instead of modifying one?
I am working on a Django view which allows the user to modify an existing model object. However, when the form is submitted it creates a new object instead of modifying the existing object. I have read the Django docs on the save() function, forms, queries, etc. but haven't been able to understand what is happening. The docs say that .save() should translate into an UPDATE statement on the database side. I have looked into other solutions here, such as this one. My original view updated the model based on the contents of a form. As part of my troubleshooting, I replaced that part of the code with the lines that update each field individually. def modify(request, auditID): this_audit = Audit.objects.get(id=auditID) form = auditForm(instance=this_audit) if form.is_valid(): this_audit.project_number = request.POST.get('project_number',) this_audit.title = request.POST.get('title',) this_audit.title_short = request.POST.get('title_short',) this_audit.status = request.POST.get('status') this_audit.save() return redirect('index') -

Django - Customising Modelform

Migrating django models in Postgres/PostGIS not reflecting

ajax like button is updating all the product with weird values
I try to implemented ajax like button in my django project. I wanted like button to work in the list of company(list view) and detail view. But in list view, when I hit the like button, the like is shown 201 when it should be only 2 and when unlike it shows 200 something like that instead of 0. Also it is updating all the companies like value instead of specific company whose like button is clicked. What might be wrong in my code? Here is the code url(r'^like/company$', views.CompanyLikesAPIView.as_view(), name="like-company"), class CompanyLikesAPIView(APIView): permission_classes = (permissions.IsAuthenticated, ) def post(self, request, slug=None, format=None): company_id = request.data.get('id') print('company_id', company_id) action = request.data.get('action') if company_id and action: try: company = Company.objects.get(id=company_id) if action == "like": company.likes.add(request.user) else: company.likes.remove(request.user) return Response({'status': 'ok'}) except: pass return Response({'status': 'ko'}) {% block pagecontent %} <div class="container"> {% for company in companies %} {% with total_likes=company.likes.count users_like=company.likes.all %} {% if forloop.first %}<div class="row">{% endif %} <div class="col-md-4"> <div class="card-body text-center"> <h3 class="card-title text-center">{{ company.name }}</h3> <a href="{{ company.get_absolute_url }}" class="btn btn-link">View Detail</a> <span class="count"> <span class="total">{{ total_likes }}</span> like{{ total_likes|pluralize }} </span> <a href="#" data-id="{{ company.id }}" data-action="{% if request.user in users_like %}un{% endif %}like" class="company-like like-{{ company.id}} … -
Deploying Django and Angular 2 on Heroku
I am at a bit of a roadblock. Under one GitHub repository, I have two services. A Django API, and an Angular 2 application (forgive me if any of my vocabulary isn't aaccurate). I am trying to use Heroku to accomplish hosting this. My current Procfile looks like so: web: node frontend/server.js api: gunicorn platform/Minieco/wsgi.py However, when I build through Heroku's website, I get the following output: -----> Python app detected -----> Installing requirements with pip -----> Discovering process types Procfile declares types -> api, web -----> Compressing... Done: 47.2M -----> Launching... Released v7 https://minieco.herokuapp.com/ deployed to Heroku It detects the app as Python, when really only the API is. Maybe this isn't the issue, but it stood out to me. Either way, I get an Application Error when I visit the website, what are the correct steps to take in order to run both of these services side-by-side? -

Using logging in python and django to record user interactions with a website
I'm currently working on helping with the development of a website. Someone this past weekend attempted to hack into the website, but failed. However, since the entire site was rewritten this last summer, there was no way to store their movements within the site and to catch the user's IP before they gave up. Is there a way to track a users actions (such as which links they visit) while in a website and store it into a file (the website is small) in order to make sure we have a record of the actions, if anyone ever attempts to hack it again? To see if I could do this, I started using logging, but ran into issues with how exactly I am supposed to record the users actions with logging. My setup is below, and it works, I just don't know what to put in place of the string currently inside of logging.info() to record the movements of the user. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide. from ipware.ip import get_ip import logging def IPCatcher(request): ip = get_ip(request) if ip is not None: print("We have an IP address for user") print(ip) logging.basicConfig(filename='log_recording.txt', level=logging.DEBUG,format='%(asctime)s %(message)s', datefmt='%m/%d/%Y %I:%M:%S %p') … -
which has a better performance filter / all in django queryset?

are we able to view m2m fields in both models instead of just one model? django
let's say i have two models and one of them has a m2m field. For example: class AAA(models.Model) name = models.Charfield(max_length=64) class BBB(models.Model) style = models.ManyToManyField(AAA, blank=True) if I go to django admin dashboard class BBB, I know that I will be able to see style field and with class AAA that I can multi-select. I am wonder if there's a way that in class AAA I can view style too? Instead of using coding to find out which BBB , AAA has relationship with. Hopefully my explanation is understandable. Thanks in advance. -

Django do I use query or url path to pass a parameter
If I have two urls: url(r'^maker/$', views.maker_list) #lists a car makers url(r'^model/$', views.model_list) #lists of car models If I click on the URL for models it gives me a list of models. If I click on the URL for makers it gives me a list of makers. I was thinking if I click on a maker e.g. CarMaker I want it to take me to a subset of all models ie. the ones that are made by the maker eg. CarMaker. Is the best way to have it in the path like model/CarMaker/ or as a query like model/?maker=CarMaker. I have read if its unique put it in the path, however, this feels like a search/refinement, which are queries. I am a bit confused where to draw the line. Side question: Should it be model/CarMaker/ or CarMaker/model/? -

DRF BooleanField in ModelSerializer causes IntegrityError
I am having trouble with my ModelSerializer class Recall(models.Model): thermal_step = models.BooleanField() have_inventory = models.BooleanField() have_adverse = models.BooleanField() class OrderRecallSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer): class Meta: model = Recall fields = ['thermal_step', 'have_inventory', 'have_adverse'] s = OrderRecallSerializer(data={}) s.is_valid() >>> True s.save() >>> django.db.utils.IntegrityError: null value in column "thermal_step" violates not-null constraint In django BooleanField is always set to blank=True due to browsers don't send unchecked checkbox in POST data. ModelForm sets model field to False in this case. When using DRF ModelSerializer, generated BooleanField is created with required=False, and when the field is not present in data, passed to serializer, model field is set to None and raises IntegrityError when saving model. Should I explicitly specify BooleanField(default=False) in my ModelSerializer, or I am missing something? I would expect ModelSerializer to behave similar to ModelForm - set value to False when it is not present, which is equal to generating BooleanField with default=False automatically. -
