django giving Site errors after using django-allauth
I recently decided to add django-allauth to my application and it requires that I include 'django.contrib.sites' inside my settings.INSTALLED.APPS. This is causing my program to break with error Site matching query does not exist. I tried creating a new site and then using that site_id in my settings and that didn't solve the problem. -
Override the label and help_text attributes of the SetPasswordForm used by the PasswordResetConfirmView in Django
I'm using the built in PasswordResetConfirmView view, which subclasses the SetPasswordForm form but I don't know how to edit the label and help_text attributes on any of the fields in the SetPasswordForm form. I was able to change the label and help_text attributes of the fields in the PasswordChangeView view by doing the following: class CustomPasswordChangeView(PasswordChangeView): def get(self, request): form = self.get_form() form.fields['old_password'].label = 'Current password' form.fields['old_password'].help_text = 'Please enter your current password' return render(request, 'registration/password_change_form.html', {'form': form}) However, when I try the same thing with the PasswordResetConfirmView I get infinite errors. Firstly, it doesn't like the token and uidb64 keyword arguments being passed to the get() method from by following URL: r'^reset/(?P<uidb64>[0-9A-Za-z_\-]+)/(?P<token>[0-9A-Za-z]{1,13}-[0-9A-Za-z]{1,20})/$' I get the following errors: TypeError at /accounts/reset/MQ/set-password/ get() got an unexpected keyword argument 'uidb64' TypeError at /accounts/reset/MQ/set-password/ get() got an unexpected keyword argument 'token' My get method looks like this def get(self, request, uidb64, token) and the PasswordResetConfirmView view doesn't have a get_form() method so I'm stuck on how to access the form in my view. Everything else I've tried has failed as well but I think I'm probably taking the wrong approach here. Can anyone point me in the right direction please? -

How to do statements with time value
In my Django python code I want to greet the visitor according to the time of the day. It always gives back 'Good afternoon'(even though it isn't) but can't see why. this is from my views.py: #import time #import datetime #from time import strftime #from django.utile import timezone def greet(request): request.session['greet'] = 'Good day' currentTime = time.strftime('%H') int(currentTime) if currentTime < 12 : request.session['greet'] = 'Good morning' if currentTime >= 18 : request.session['greet'] = 'Good afternoon' else : request.session['greet'] = 'Good evening' return request.session['greet'] -
Why does this loop take 5 seconds to execute in the django server but only 0.8 in the shell?
I'm trying to figure out a timing discrepancy in my python django project. When I run the function in the shell, it only takes about a second to get the return object and return it. When I run it by using an api call the timing says it takes over 5 seconds to loop through and serialize the objects. Below is the function in question: def serialize_particular(id=-1, all_available=False, page=0, maxOn=40): if id != -1: b = MyModel.objects.filter(id=id) if len(b) == 0: return [] else: b = b[0] data = [] if all_available: oThings = b.things else: oThings = b.things_available count = len(oThings) start = maxOn * page end = start + maxOn if start > count: oThings = oThings.filter(id=-1) nextPage = -1 else: if end > count: end = count page = -2 oThings = oThings[start:end] nextPage = page + 1 for inv in oThings: data.append({}) data[-1]['id'] = inv.id data[-1]['available'] = inv.available data[-1]['integer'] = inv.integer data[-1]['subObject'] = {} data[-1]['subObject']['name'] = inv.subObject.name data[-1]['subObject']['category'] = inv.subObject.category data[-1]['subObject']['subcategory'] = inv.subObject.subcategory data[-1]['subObject']['listOfSubs'] = [] for subsub in inv.subObject.listOfSubs.all(): data[-1]['subObject']['listOfSubs'].append({}) data[-1]['subObject']['listOfSubs'][-1]['name'] = subsub.name data[-1]['subObject']['listOfSubs'][-1]['category'] = subsub.category data[-1]['subObject']['listOfSubs'][-1]['subcategory'] = subsub.subcategory return data, nextPage Below is my timing function that I use in the server: class Timing: … -

Django Python base.html for all templates
In my root directory i have a template and inside that template follow by a base.html that would be my main layout for my custom admin site. in my templates/admin/base.html I have this code. <!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <title>Layout Page</title> </head> <body> {% block content %} {% endblock %} </body> </html> I want this base.html to be present in all my app templates. I have a app users in my mysite project that its the index.html page. inside my users/views. from django.shortcuts import render def index(request): return render(request, 'users/index.html') inside my templates/users/index.html I have this. {% extends "admin/layout.html" %} {% block content %} <h1>Hello World</h1> {% endblock %} I get an error that "TemplateDoesNotExist at /" I come from a node.js background so I have no idea if if this is even a good practice.

Django migrations being ran in test_ database even with migrations tuned off in the Settings file
In Django, I want Migrations to not run while unit testing, or anywhere really. In the Settings.py I have the following # Turn off all migrations MIGRATION_MODULES = { app[app.rfind('.') + 1:]: None for app in INSTALLED_APPS } If I now run python manage.py runserver with a fresh db it's completely empty. If I run python manage.py test the test_* database it creates has the basic migrations applied. I'm pretty confused, so any help as to what this might be or where to start looking would be much appreciated. -
Using Peaks.js (npm) in my Django project with django-bower
So Ive been trying to build an audio editor where users can edit their uploaded audio files, and so far I've stumbled upon thispeaks.js As the best option for doing that in the browser. I've never used npm in a django app, and realized I'd have to use something like Bower to manage the node module. So I'm trying to use Django Bower To manage the module. Here are my settings.py: STATIC_URL = '/static/' MEDIA_URL= '/media/' STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR,'static/') MEDIA_ROOT= os.path.join(BASE_DIR,'media_cdn') BOWER_COMPONENTS_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'components') BOWER_INSTALLED_APPS = ( 'peaks.js', ) Ok so I've followed the django-bower instructions, and installed peaks.js with python manage.py bower install peaks.js. Now I'm looking back at the peaks.js documentation, and I can't figure out how to use Peaks, having tried the suggested ways of loading the module into the template. Anyone know where I'm going wrong? Is there a better/simpler way of going about it? -
How to export a Django model including ForeignKey model relationships into a combined text file
I have a Django model that has several ForeignKey model relationships that I need to combine into single records. If you look at my plaque model below, you'll notice I have a ForeignKey relationship to a veteran model. I created a veteran model without truly thinking it through and now need to add the veteran fields to my plaque model, but need to export all the data first, rebuild my plaque model, then re-import the data. I've have django-import-export installed and it works great for single models. I exported my plaque data and in the veteran field it just adds the id number of the related veteran. What I'd like to do, if possible, is actually export my plaque model and instead of the related veterans id number, the actual data from the veteran models(first_name, last_name etc). I am also using PostgreSQL if that helps. Any ideas? Thank you. class Plaque(models.Model): created_by = models.ForeignKey(settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL, on_delete=models.CASCADE, related_name='plaques', default=1) group = models.ForeignKey(Group, blank=True, null=True, verbose_name='Group Name') veteran = models.ForeignKey(Veteran, blank=True, null=True) ... -
How to properly configuring django-subdomains and resolve the subdomains in urlpatterns?
I'm using django-subdomains package in my project to assign certain apps to appropriate subdomains. However I'm having difficulties setting up this package and apps to be displayed in those subdomains. Let's call my project "MyProject", here's what I've done so far: in procjets settings.py I have: MIDDLEWARE = [ 'django.middleware.security.SecurityMiddleware', 'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware', 'subdomains.middleware.SubdomainURLRoutingMiddleware', 'django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware', 'django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware', 'django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware', 'django.contrib.messages.middleware.MessageMiddleware', 'django.middleware.clickjacking.XFrameOptionsMiddleware', ] ROOT_URLCONF = 'myproject.urls' SITE_ID = 1 SUBDOMAIN_URLCONFS = { None: 'myproject.urls', 'www': 'myproject.urls', 'manager': 'manager.urls', # I also tried: # 'manager': 'myproject.urls.manager' } In my projects urls.py I have: urlpatterns = [ url(r'^admin/', admin.site.urls), url(r'^manager/', include(manager_urls, namespace='manager'), name='manager'), ] + static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT) And finally in my managers urls.py I have: from .views import home urlpatterns = [ url(r'^$', home, name='home'), ] Trying to access manager.myproject.com only show's up my hosts "nothing to see here yet" page. Couple things I don't quite grasp. First, in the documentation example of SUBDOMAIN_URLCONFS it is not clear to me in 'myproject.urls.frontend', what exactly is being requested using frontend? This might be where I'm making an error. Second, while the documentation shows how to get to sudomain using views and templates, it does not show an example of how to actually utilize this in URL patterns. I've … -
django migration doesn't automatically recognize the added fields using add_to_class()
I've created a subclass for reusable-package.models.Topic in my-project but the related models (those having a FK to Topic) are still referencing reusable-package.models.Topic. So as a solution for that is to subclass all models of reusable package (those having a FK to Topic) and make the explicit reference to the new model tried to fix that using add_to_class to add field instead of using inheritance the added code is the following: Topic.add_to_class('color', models.CharField(max_length=7, null=True, blank=True, help_text=_('HEX Color code'))) but the automatic migration doesn't recognize the added fields so i should manually create the migrations ./manage.py makemigrations regards, -
Django - Button for attending events?
I'm relatively new to Django. I am currently making a website for a small student association (approx. 100 people) and trying to make an event app on my website so that admins can create events, which users can choose to attend. I have successfully created the Models and used ListView and DetailView so that users can see which events are available. I'm having a problem making a button on the event detail page so that users can say whether they're attending the event with the click of a button. I am currently only able to do this through the admin site, but I want users to sign up themselves. As I understand I need to use some kind of a form, but I'm not sure how it is best to do this. It sounds simple, but I haven't been able to figure it out despite searching the web for a few days. As I say, I'm new to Django. I have two models, one for the events and one for the registrations, which links the users to the events and has information on when the users registered. Here are my files: Models.py import datetime from django.db import models from django.contrib.auth.models … -
Django - converting object to queryset without querying database
It often happens in my Django code that I have to make some operations with an object and then pass it on to other function in a form of a queryset. For now, I take the id of the object and query the database, which seems like junk code since I already have all data. Better illustrated by an example: obj = MyModelSerializer(data) obj.save() qs = MyModel.objects.filter(id = obj.id).values() # queries db just to get a queryset representation of a single object return render(request, 'test.html', {'qs': qs}) Is there any better way to overwrite this code? Or it is perfectly ok ? -

Not Null constraint failed on Nested serializer due to "unable do get repr for QuerySet class" error
Trying to get basic Messaging functionality working in my DRF project. I seem to have a problem with the nested serializer validation. I'm new to DRF and have been reading the docs for a few days but I must have missed something. The error happens inside the line message = Message.objects.create(**validated_data) in my serializer.The request returns an Integrity error, NOT NULL constraint failed on accounts_message.sender_id, but through debugging I have found that this is caused by an error in query.py in the QuerySet method : self: unable to get repr for <class 'django.db.models.query.QuerySet'> model: <class 'accounts.models.Message'> query: none using: none This seems to be whats causing my issue, since the dict generated by the serializer seems to have all of the data thats being passed in the request, including the supposed null sender_id. However, I am not sure how to fix this issue. Do I need to override repr? or Query Set? This feels like im stuck on something relatively simple. Serializers.py class UserSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer): class Meta: model = User fields = ('id', 'name', 'email') extra_kwargs = { 'id': { 'validators': [UnicodeUsernameValidator()], } } class MessageSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer): sender = UserSerializer() recipients = UserSerializer(many=True) class Meta: model = Message fields = ('id', 'subject', … -
Run Scrapy through Django View
So, I am working on the following project: I am using Django to develop a website that will work as a remote manager of a web crawler. To be more specific, I've created a spider with Scrapy that downloads some PDF files from another website. My goal is to find a way to call the spider via a POST (I guess) request and have the crawler running through my Django view. The files that are downloaded will be stored to the server that has the website running, not to the personal computer of anyone who runs the spider. So when I log into my website and press the Crawl button, the new files get downloaded into the server's file library. I am fairly new to Django and Scrapy so I have no clue how to make them work together to achieve what I am looking for, can someone guide me to a direction? I've seen some questions regarding running Scrapy scripts through other Python scripts but I do not understand how to connect them, where to put the Scrapy project files etc. Thank you for your time, I hope I didn't confuse you!
