How to properly paginate comments table by time
This question isn't so much about Django as it is about general pagination. Consider the following table of comments. | auto_inc_id | comment | timestamp | |-------------|-------------------------|-----------| | 1 | I sure love pie | 1000 | | 2 | I hate mondays | 2000 | | 3 | I want to watch a movie | 3000 | | 4 | hello world | 2500 | This is a simple table of user comments. When a user clicks "submit", the server pushes the event onto a processing queue. Due to the nature of the processing queue (this might take 1-2 hours). So in order to get the "real time of submission" the client interface also generates a timestamp that it bundles up with the request (I know this is spoofable) When the event gets finally dequeued. They are inserted into the table. There is also an app that queries this table, and displays a scrolling list of comments (most recent first - at the top). The user can scroll to the bottom and click "more" - which will load even older comments onto the app screen - and so on and so forth. I was planning to use a simple … -
Django-allauth not asking for permission while using facebook

AllAUTH Django not redirecting to Home Page

How to deploy website changes in Django
Recently, the web developer that created our website has gone a-wall. Our company is in the process of sourcing a new developer that knows Django and Python. I am a Microsoft developer with little to no Django experience. However, I do know a little unix and have worked with linux and apache before. We need to make a minor update to our contact details page as we have moved office. The developer originally hard coded this page so we can not update this page via the CMS. I have located the file on the server and made the address updates but I do not know how to deploy it so it reflects on the live site. Can anyone assist me in doing this? I'm ssh into the box and doing everything via the terminal. Cheers, Ben -

Tag an existing model and save it as a new model object in Django
I'm working on a django (1.10.5) project in which I need to build a logic as: We have a model as "Article" and upload articles by admin already.

Python Django equals in function arguments. Setting the variable dynamically
I think this is called "Positional arguments" or the opposite or keyword arguments. I have written a script in Python Django and rest framework that has to take in parameters from the user and feed it to the Amazon API. Here is the code; page = request.query_params.get('page'); search = request.query_params.get('search'); search_field = request.query_params.get('search_field'); search_index = request.query_params.get('search_index'); response = amazon.ItemSearch(Keywords=search, SearchIndex=search_index, ResponseGroup="ItemAttributes,Offers,Images,EditorialReview,Reviews") In this code the text Keywords=search varies. That is. It could be like this Actor=search, Title=search, or Publisher=search I am not sure how to make the Keywords part dynamic such that it changes to the user's input such as Actor, Title, or Publisher -

How can I re-label the "Password" field on the Django 1.11 login page?
I want to customise the appearance of the "Password" field on the Django 1.11 login page. Specifically, I want to change the label from "Password" to "Passphrase" while maximising re-use of default Django code. For other forms I have done this subclassing as follows: from django.utils.translation import ugettext_lazy as _ from x import BaseForm class CustomForm(BaseForm): def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs): super(CustomForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs) self.fields["fieldname"].label = _("Custom label") ...but simply subclassing AuthenticationForm has no effect, so I assume I have to hook it up somehow. And/or subclass LoginView? -
Inactive django account with djoser
Hi guys I am trying to log in with an inactive account, I used Djoser, Django Rest Framework but I need to show the correct message to the user. I was testing the API with an inactive account, but I always receive this message: Unable to login with provided credentials. I was studying the code of djoser, and I found that this line of code (https://github.com/sunscrapers/djoser/blob/master/djoser/serializers.py#L95) is never gets execute, because the authenticate method always return None when the user is not active. I can solve the problem with Django ORM, but I think that's is not a fancy solution. I hope can you help me. Thanks in advance. -

Django Rest Framework creating instance instead of updating
