Django-autocomplete-light & QuerySetSequence - getting the name of the original model for each QuerySequenceModel
I have 3 models from cities_light: City, Region and Country. I'm using QuerySetSequence with Django-autocomplete to create a queryset involving all 3 of these models, so that a user can type in one search bar to search for all types of location. I have things working but my current implementation feels very hacky, so I'm looking to see if there's a better way of doing this. As far as I can tell, while QuerySequenceModel inherits all the attributes of the relevant model (in this case, either City, Region or Country), it doesn't have an attribute that simply returns the name of the model it's inheriting from. So, the only way I can see of actually determining which model a QuerySequenceModel is to rather naively check to see whether it contains any defining attributes that uniquely identify it as either a City, Region or Country. Thus: for queryset in locations.query._querysets: if not hasattr(queryset.model, 'country'): profile.favourite_countries = queryset elif hasattr(queryset.model, 'region'): profile.favourite_cities = queryset elif hasattr(queryset.model, 'country'): profile.favourite_regions = queryset This works, but is hardly elegant, and also needs additional hacking in order to be fully functional (i.e. recognizing when one location type isn't present). For reference, here is the full list … -
How do I create and submit a form from a model inside a modal?
In my app I needed to add a form created from a model so I can add and edit records in my database. I did it in the following way to render the form in a separate page.: 1) I created a forms.py file: from django import forms from store_app.models import Product class AddNewProductForm(forms.ModelForm): class Meta: model = Product fields = ["title", "description", "weight", "price"] # Fields from my model class EditProductForm(forms.ModelForm): class Meta: model = Product fields = ["title", "description", "weight", "price"] # Fields from my model 2) Then I created the html template to display the form, edit_product.html: {% extends "store_app/base.html" %} {% load static %} {% block title %}Edit Product{% endblock %} {% block content %} <h1>Edit Product</h1> <form method="POST"> {{ form.as_p }} {% csrf_token %} <input type="submit" class="btn btn-primary" value="Submit!"> </form> {% endblock %} 3) After that, I added the following to my app's views.py: from store_app.models import Product from store_app.forms import EditProductForm from django.shortcuts import render, get_object_or_404 def index(request): return render(request, 'simple_app/main.html') def edit_product_view(request, id): instance = get_object_or_404(Product, id=id) form = EditProductForm(instance=instance) if request.method == "POST": print("POST") form = EditProductForm(request.POST, instance=instance) if form.is_valid(): form.save(commit=True) return index(request) else: print("ERROR FORM INVALID") return render(request, 'simple_app/edit_product.html', {'form': form}) … -
django-statsy seem to be a doubtful app
I have a bit of difficulties to understand how django-statsy works. Does anyone be able to tell me if it works well for them?

Django: Truncate text given the width of parent div
I'm looking to achieve an effect using Django where the text will truncate (i.e. put ... at the end) when the length of the text exceeds that of the parent div. With Django, the template tag allows me to set a fixed number of characters at which the text will truncate {{ user.email|truncatechars:24 }} However, I'm looking for a more dynamic solution. Thanks! -
Django restrict/allow access by groups from ldap
I have Django project that has two apps App1 and App2) each app has only 1 view. . My project connected to openldap using django-auth-ldap. I have two groups(Group1, Group2). I Added decorators before my views in app1 and app2 (@login_required) and the result as expected that all users from group1 and group2 will be able to login to both apps. I want to be able to just allow group1 to access app1 only and group2 access app2 only. I tried many codes but no one work with me.

Select2QuerySetSequenceView sends each item as a tuple of "(model id, object id)" - how does one use/retrieve the model id?
When joining multiple querysets of different models into a single queryset (using QuerySetSequence), each item in the queryset passed over to the front-end autocomplete is a pair of IDs - one representing the model, the other the PK of a specific object of that type. I can't find anything in the docs that explains how this ID is generated, nor how one could get a modeltype from the ID. It's not the same as calling typical python methods on classes such as .__class_. Example list data from a queryset: ['12-231','12-212','42-643','42-123','54-133'] The first value indicating the particular model that the following pk refers to. How do I use this value to lock in on the relevant model? -
Stop page from redirecting after form submission in Django
I am using django and I have created an app in which I want to upload a zip file which is saved in a specific location (At this point my django server is localhost) I have the following code which is working fine: This is my HTML Template: <form id="saveZipFile" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="" method="post"> {% csrf_token %} <input type="file" name="docfile" id="docfile"> <input type="submit" id="upload-button" value="Upload"> </form> This is my forms.py: class UploadFileForm(forms.Form): docfile = forms.FileField() This is my views.py: def handle_uploaded_file(f): with open('uploaded_zip.zip', 'wb+') as destination: for chunk in f.chunks(): destination.write(chunk) def upload_file(request): if request.method == 'POST': form = UploadFileForm(request.POST, request.FILES) if form.is_valid(): handle_uploaded_file(request.FILES['docfile']) return HttpResponse() else: form = UploadFileForm() return HttpResponse() urls.py: urlpatterns = [ url(r'^upload_file/$', views.upload_file, name='upload_file'), ] But in the end, the url is changing to /upload_file - which is correct as I understand - and that page is empty (since I am returning an empty HttpResponse) I am trying to build a Single-Page-Application and this redirection is throwing the entire state of my web-page out of the window. Is there any way in which I can possible make an AJAX call instead of using django forms? Thanks! -
Crispy forms django error: coercing to Unicode: need string or buffer, datetime.date found
So I have this error AFTER my database is populated, but when creating a NEW. If i don't run my csv importer I wrote (that just takes CSV files from an old database, imports models. Creates new instances of models, fills em out with the data and saves them) then adding a new Group (an entity in my app) works just fine. The form comes up empty and ready to go, if i run the importer then the edit breaks and the add with this error: I am not sure what is causing this. The importer is pretty simple. It might be that I have a parse_date from the csv function I miswrote? Usage parseDateTime(row[12]).strftime('%Y-%m-%d') def parseDateTime(dt): try: col_date_object = datetime.strptime(dt, '%m/%d/%Y') except ValueError: col_date_object = datetime.now() return col_date_object I double checked the import to and browsed the DB tables to make sure I wasn't off a row or a column or something. indeed things look good The model in question is this: @python_2_unicode_compatible class Group(models.Model): group_term = models.ForeignKey('GroupTerm', on_delete=models.SET_NULL, null=True, blank=True) #quesiton is can a group be termed many times? group_name = models.CharField(max_length=50) group_contact = models.CharField(max_length=50) tin = models.CharField(max_length=50) npi = models.CharField(max_length=50) notes = models.TextField(max_length=255, null=True, blank=True) start_date = … -

Django model formsets- how do I create a mix of existing and pre-populated "new" entries
Lets say I am building a Reading List app. Each reading list has a name, and a number of ReadingListBook objects that link back to a book. Additionally, lets say that there are a number of users that have been given access to this reading list. Each user, after reading the book, is to give the book a rating of 1-10. See the following models: #models.py class Book(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=255) class ReadingList(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=255) class ReadingListBook(models.Model): reading_list = models.ForeignKey('ReadingList') book = models.ForeignKey('Book') class ReadingListBookUserRating(models.Model): reading_list_book = models.ForeignKey('ReadingListBook') user = models.ForeignKey(User) rating = models.IntegerField() #rating of 1-10 And the following ModelForm for a rating: #forms.py class RLBRatingForm(forms.ModelForm): class Meta: model=ReadingListBookUserRating fields = ['reading_list_book', 'rating'] At any given time, a user may have created ratings for some, all, or none of the books in a given reading list. My goal is to generate a formset, of multiple RLBRatingForms- one for each potentially rated book in a ReadingList. For any book that the user HAS rated, their existing rating will be pre-populated. For any book that they have not rated, the input field will be blank. I know how to create a formset for the existing ratings, but I am unsure … -

Append To Current Url Django
I have two URLs in Django. I would like to be able to use them almost as subdirectories. In my case, I have a table of parts belonging to a job, and in that table, i have buttons that would allow you to open a new URL with details of the part clicked. This would be the job URL. /view_job/1/ and when you click on an item I would like to be able to navigate to. /view_job/1/details/part1 Here are the two URLs. url(r'^view_job/([0-9]+)/$', app.views.viewfab, name='view_job'), url(r'^view_job/([0-9]+)/details/(.+?)$', app.views.viewfabdetail, name='fab_detail') and here is what I'm trying to achieve in the template.

How to do a Django/Javascript combination; specifically - window.location
I have a Django/Phaser/Javascript set up like this: Project ----> Djangotemplates---------> Djangotemplates + example + static In the example folder is: example -----> templates -------> about.html + constr.html + game.html + index.html These are all django static files, no base.html, nothing really complicated except I have one problem. That is the main.js file in the js folder in the static folder. A link in the index.html file takes you to the game.html file which is basically the one single Phaser file that opens up the main.js file (that runs the game). Everything works so far, including the game itself. So... Index.html goes to game.html to main.js Now I have a method to get back to the main index.html file (from the game) - but THAT doesn't work. Like this: else{ if(flagGameover){ console.log("GOTO GAMEOVER"); window.location = 'index.html'; Now I've tried all sorts of things to make that last line work, but ?!!%*^?!##???

Ideal way to implement an article series / multipart blog post
I am in the process of writing a blogging engine in django, primarily as an educational exercise and I am wondering about implementing multi-part blog posts / series. I am working in python3/django so my code will be thus, though I'm mostly concerned with implementing the database structure properly. Given this generic model: class Article(models.Model): title = models.Charfield(255) content = models.TextField() My first idea is to simply add a series table and link it to the article: class Article(models.Model): title = models.Charfield(255) content = models.TextField() series = models.ForeignKey('Series') class Series(models.Model): title = models.Charfield(255) The issue that comes up next here is how to track the posts position and series length (ie: 2 of 4). I thought about using the series entry id's, or the post publish dates, though I can't guarantee that those will go in the same order as the posts. I could simply keep track of that on the article table. Then I can just use the .count() on the series objects for the series length, and get the article position directly from the field: which just doesn't seem to be as elegant as it could be: class Article(models.Model): title = models.Charfield(255) content = models.TextField() series = models.ForeignKey('Series') … -
Can you access a File browser thumbnail in a Django admin model class?
I have a Django application, with a model that has a Filebrowser field for uploading images. In the admin I have a method that returns an image html element so after a user uploads an image, they can see what they uploaded. Some images however are >10mb in size, and the page loads for a pretty long time.
