Django-storages save images webp as octet-stream
when I try to save pillow images using django-storages to store in S3, webp images save them as octet-stream. You should also save images in JPG. I leave below my configuration of django-storages AWS_S3_OBJECT_PARAMETERS = { 'CacheControl': 'public, max-age=2592000', } AWS_DEFAULT_ACL = 'public-read' AWS_QUERYSTRING_AUTH = False So I save the images in WEBP new_image_bytes = BytesIO() pic.save( new_image_bytes, format='WEBP', optimize=False, ) So I save the images in WEBP new_image_bytes = BytesIO() pic.save( new_image_bytes, format='JPEG', optimize=False, ) Thanks! -
Django different types of user
I want to build a simple website with Django, and so far I have made a sign-up form that everyone can sign up and publish some announcement. For next stage I want to make the user can only view the announcement by default, I also want to have another type of user can view and create an announcement. How should I build my user model and sign up forms? Should I use things like permission or AbstractUser? the current sign up forms.py I am using is like from django import forms from django.contrib.auth.forms import UserCreationForm from django.contrib.auth import get_user_model class UserCreateForm(UserCreationForm): class Meta: fields = ("username", "email", "password1", "password2") model = get_user_model() def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs): super().__init__(*args, **kwargs) self.fields["username"].label = "Display name" self.fields["email"].label = "Email address" and the views about the announcement is like #show all announcement class AnnouncementListView(ListView): ... #show a specific announcement class PostDetailView(DetailView): ... #create a announcement class CreatePostView(LoginRequiredMixin,CreateView): ... Thanks! -
How to redirect when loading a FormView?
Using the class based view FormView I want to redirect to a different page if a user is already activated. So I've tried overriding the get_form_kwargs function: class UserActivateView(AnonymousRequiredMixin, FormView): ... def get_form_kwargs(self): .... if profile.activated: # User is already activated an can log in messages.info( self.request, 'You are already activated. ' 'Login or click forgot password if you have forgotten' ) redirect(to=reverse_lazy('auth_login')) .... return kwargs Using this method the message is added but the redirect is never done. Am I doing this redirect at the correct place, I've been using ccbv as a reference -
Django migration issue: dynamic_forms missing migration as a dependency
One of my migrations specify a particular dynamic_forms migration as a dependency: dependencies = [ ('dynamic_forms', '0004_auto_20170110_1645'), # other deps ] But that file doesn't exist in the migrations directory under the lib's instalation path. The migrations for the version of dynamic_forms I am using, 0.3.3, are: 0001_initial 0002_auto_20140124_1844 0003_auto_20140916_1433 Since the dependency migration doesn't exist, when running migrate, showmigrations, or any other migration-related task, I am logically getting the following error: django.db.migrations.graph.NodeNotFoundError: Migration some_app.0001_initial dependencies reference nonexistent parent node (u'dynamic_forms', u'0004_auto_20170110_164 5') I tried updating the package to its most recent version, 0.5.3, but it didn't help either because it doesn't have that migration file. I tried faking the migrations for dynamic_forms just to see if it helped somehow: py manage.py migrate dynamic_forms --fake But it didn't even go through because the same missing dependency error occurred. I am not sure how to deal with this and although about I did find some information about missing migrations in the dynamic_forms package I couldn't learn how to solve the issue. -
django-import-export : getting post_export to update models
Please how do i updated exported Company model below using post_export signal. I don't want to export items not exported before. So the best thing is using signals. However, if i print the model in the signal at the end of the code below, I get a type class e.g <class 'app.models.Company'> I know am doing something wrong by saving a model but can't find my way arround. Maybe I'm not understanding the documentation of django-import-export library which is found here. #models.py class Company(models.Model): class Meta: verbose_name_plural = "Companies" company_name = models.CharField(max_length=254, blank=True) website = models.URLField(max_length=254, unique=True) address = models.CharField(max_length=254, blank=True, null=True) imported = models.BooleanField(default=False) exported = models.BooleanField(default=False) user = models.ForeignKey(User) def __str__(self): if self.company_name: return self.company_name return self.domain #admin.py from django.dispatch import receiver from import_export.signals import post_import, post_export class CompanyResource(resources.ModelResource): class Meta: model = Company fields = ('website', 'user', 'country', 'source', 'industry') @admin.register(Company) class CompanyAmin(ImportExportModelAdmin): resource_class = CompanyResource list_display = ('domain', 'website', 'exported', 'added_on') list_filter = ('user', 'country', 'imported', 'exported', 'added_on') import receiver from import_export.signals import post_import, post_export @receiver(post_export, dispatch_uid='ss1') def _post_export(model, **kwargs): print(model) model.exported = True model.save() # This line when included raises Error: "save() missing 1 required positional argument: 'self'" so code breaks here -
How to use model's default value in the serializer?
I have a serializer defined by model's fields in the following way: class MyModel(models.Model): f1 = models.CharField(max_length=10, default='abc') class Serializer(serializers.ModelSerializer): class Meta: model = MyModel fields = ['f1'] Bit, running: Serializer({}).data Return an empty object. So how can I use the default value declared in the model? I know I can repeat the field in serializer, like that: class Serializer(serializers.Serializer): f1 = serializers.CharField(default='abc') Serializer({}).data This will return the expected {'f1' : 'abc'}, but I do not want to repeat myself. -

Django annotate Avg on model field
I have these models: class Agency(models.Model): pass class User(models.Model): agency = models.ForeignKey(Agency) class Feedback(models.Model): rating = models.DecimalField() user = models.ForeignKey(User) and I want to annotate a queryset with the average of all ratings. I expected this to work: Feedback.objects.annotate(avg_rating=Avg('rating')).values('rating', 'avg_rating') but it just outputs this: <QuerySet [{'rating': 0.8, 'avg_rating': 0.8}, {'rating': 0.2, 'avg_rating': 0.2}, {'rating': 0.6, 'avg_rating': 0.6}, {'rating': 1.0, 'avg_rating': 1.0}, {'rating': 0.4, 'avg_rating': 0.4}]> As you can see the average should be 3.0. Where am I going wrong? For a bit of clarity, I'm trying to do something like this: agencies = Agency.objects.annotate( avg_rating=Coalesce(Subquery( Feedback.objects.filter(user__agency_id=OuterRef('pk')) .values('rating') .annotate(avg_rating=Avg('rating', output_field=DecimalField())) .values('avg_rating') ), 0) ) where the average rating is per agency. Any ideas? -

Custom inclusion templatetag with djangoCMS render_model

Django test deleteview for model with overwritten 'delete' method.
I am writting tests for a django application that contains multiple deleteviews. I test all deleteviews with variations of the following code: #Object exists to begin with response = self.client.get(reverse('roldelete', kwargs={'pk': self.role.pk})) self.assertEqual(response.status_code, 200) #Object Can be deleted can be posted response = self.client.post(reverse('roldelete', kwargs={'pk': self.role.pk})) self.assertEqual(response.status_code, 302) #Object is actually deleted response = self.client.get(reverse('roldelete', kwargs={'pk': self.role.pk})) self.assertEqual(response.status_code, 404) #Query returns an empty result self.assertFalse( Role.objects.filter(pk=self.role.pk).exists()) All of this is working fine, however, in on of my models I've overwritten the default 'delete' method. Basically everytime I delete a 'TenantPurchase' object I want to check for the existence of a linked 'PurchaseRequest' object and delete it as well. I wrote the following code to do so: def delete(self, *args, **kwargs): try: purchase_user = self.user purchase_arrangement_period = self.item #Import here to avoid circular import from arrangement.models import ArrangementBuyRequest linked_buy_request = ArrangementBuyRequest.objects.filter( user=purchase_user, arrangement_period=purchase_arrangement_period) \ .order_by('request_date').last() linked_buy_request.delete() except (ArrangementBuyRequest.DoesNotExist, AttributeError) as e: pass super(TenantPurchase, self).delete(*args, **kwargs) When I test manually on our development server, I behaves as it should. Linked buy Requests are deleted and no errors are thrown. However, all my Unittests for this model fail. It passes the first three tests (assert 200, assert 302, assert 404) But a direct … -

Can I override Django password form layout?
I have overridden the Django login and registration forms by creating the templates registration/login.html, registration/logout.html, registration/registration_closed.html and registration/registration_form.html. However, the password change forms are in the original style. Unlike the existing forms, it doesn't look like django-registration.registration.auth_urls specifies HTML templates for these password forms. So how can I override them to look like my custom templates? -

Using `subprocess` in a web service
I'm trying to leverage wkhtmltopdf to make a render-on-the-fly endpoint in a Django web app. The only way I'm aware of if to execute the external tool in a subprocess, for e.g.: from subprocess import Popen, PIPE from rendering.service.settings.local import WKHTMLTOPDF_PATH class HtmlToPdfView(APIView): def post(self, request): process = Popen([ WKHTMLTOPDF_PATH, '--disable-smart-shrinking', '-', '-' ], stdout=PIPE, stdin=PIPE, stderr=PIPE) stdout, stderr = process.communicate(input=bytes(request.data['html'])) return Response({'pdf': stdout}) But I have a general bad feeling about this.

Random Option In Django Drop Down Form
I've been picking my brain trying to figure this out and so now I turn to the community for help. I'm using models to create a form in Django and I want to add a Random option to a few of the drop-down choices. Here is a general idea of what I'm working with: models.py Character(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=255,unique=True) age = models.PositiveIntegerField(default=0) gender = models.CharField(max_length=20,choices=creation_choices.GENDERS) race = models.CharField(max_length=500,choices=creation_choices.RACE) creation_choices.py GENDERS = ( ('male',"Male"), ("female","Female"), ("unknown","Unknown"), ) RACE = ( ('human','Human'), ('elf','Elf'), ('dwarf','Dwarf'), ) What I am trying to do is add a way for users to select Random and it returns one of the other values. I tried a lot of different methods but most returned an error. When I created a function with random.choice() and pushed that through it seemed to work, but for some reason always returned the same value. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
