GitLab CI with multiple repository dependencies
With my Django setup I have the main project as a repo and then for each Django app that lives in the project another repo. This is so that each app has its own repository on something like GitLab for example. When doing a GitLab CI config script it automatically pulls in the code from the main repo as this is where the gitlab-ci script is located. Other than faffing with SSH keys and manually cloning by URL in the CI descriptor, is there any other way to tell GitLab to automatically pull in all the apps from there respective git URL to run the tests on? Example project structure. djangoproject djangoapp1 .git => http://gitlab.com/user/djangoapp1 djangoapp2 .git => http://gitlab.com/user/djangoapp2 djangoapp3 .git => http://gitlab.com/user/djangoapp3 ... other django files ... .git http://gitlab.com/user/djangoproject -
Integrating qgis2web into Django
I want to integrate a qgis2web-map into my djangoproject. The map will only be a small part of the project, so it would be pointless to setup a GIS-based djangoproject. When I make a "SimpleHTTPServer" request, the map turns up just fine in a browser. But if I point to the index.html file via django, only a blank page shows. The index-file is not able to load the static files, which comes with the qgis2web-package? I've tried different approaches like putting the static-files in django's static-folder (with {% load staic %} in the index-file) - yet again a blank page. Making a template is too complicatet for me, and I find it too much work for so small a thing. Is there a simple approach til integrate a qgis2web map into django? -
Django: Match multiple LDAP groups to is_staff flag
I'm trying to match multiple LDAP groups to the is_staff flags in django settings.py If I do LDAP or syntax: "is_staff" : "(|(cn=example)(cn=otherexample)) it doesn't match either if I pull the LDAP syntax outside the quotes: "is_staff" : (|("cn=example")("cn=otherexample")) it syntax errors. If I use python "Or": "is_staff" : "cn=example" or "cn=otherexample" It only matches the first one And if I use two "is_staff" flags: "is_staff" : "cn=example" "is_staff" : "cn=otherexample" It only matches the second one. Is there any way to match two different groups in django? Thanks. -
Django custom User model results in AttributeError: Manager isn't available; 'auth.User' has been swapped for 'authentication.User'
In my django app, called authentication, I created a custom user model, mostly following the django documentation. In a previous project of mine it used to work, but now when I say: user = User.objects.get(username=username) I'm constantly facing an error: AttributeError: Manager isn't available; 'auth.User' has been swapped for 'authentication.User'. I've tested it with both python2 and python3, django versions 1.9 and 1.10 What might be wrong?

How to make simple graphs in python 2.7
I would like to make simple graphs for my web page in python/django, but I do not know, which library (and how) to use. Each such graph is probabely generated and used only one time, as next time the values would differ. I can simply compute the positions of all rectangles, lines or texts in it, so I would like something lightweight to just create pictre from that, which I would return as img/png (or so) mime style like <img src="http://my.web.www/my/page/graph" > where the parameters to show would be decidied by session and database. I can compute all the sizes beforehand, so I would like something simple like img=Image(PNG,598,89) # style, x, y img.add_text('1.3.', 10,10) img.add_rectagle(20,10, 70,20, CYAN, BLACK) .... return img.render() Can you direct me, how to do it? Thanks beforehand -

Django with gunicorn and nginx: HTTP 500 not appearing in log files
I have a Django app running on a gunicorn server with an nginx up front. I need to diagnose a production failure with an HTTP 500 outcome, but the error log files do not contain the information I would expect. Thusly: gunicorn has setting errorlog = "/somepath/gunicorn-errors.log" nginx has setting error_log /somepath/nginx-errors.log; My app has an InternalErrorView the dispatch of which does an unconditional raise Exception("Just for testing.") That view is mapped to URL /fail_now I have not modified handler500 When I run my app with DEBUG=True and have my browser request /fail_now, I see the usual Django error screen alright, including the "Just for testing." message. Fine. When I run my app with DEBUG=False, I get a response that consists merely of <h1>Server Error (500)</h1>, as expected. Fine. However, when I look into gunicorn-errors.log, there is no entry for this HTTP 500 event at all. Why? How can I get it? I would like to get a traceback. Likewise in nginx-errors.log: No trace of a 500 or the /fail_now URL. Why? -
thumbnail creation crashes in easy_thumbnails.processors.background
I am using Django and easy-thumbnails 2.3. My intention is to take an image, scale it down so that it fits a square and fill the empty area with white color in case of non-square original images. Also in case of transparent images the transparency shall be changed to white. My settings.py contains the following lines: THUMBNAIL_PROCESSORS = ( 'easy_thumbnails.processors.colorspace', 'easy_thumbnails.processors.autocrop', 'easy_thumbnails.processors.scale_and_crop', 'easy_thumbnails.processors.filters', 'easy_thumbnails.processors.background', ) THUMBNAIL_ALIASES = { '':{ 'square_image': {'background':'#fff','replace_alpha':'#fff','size':(200,200)}, }, } THUMBNAIL_TRANSPARENCY_EXTENSION = 'jpg' I've tried some debugging and everything seems to work quite well and makes sense until the code reaches a line 318 in the background-processor function of easy-thumbnails processors.py: im = colorspace(im, replace_alpha=background, **kwargs) Here the debugger returns straight to the method that was calling background(im, size, background=None, **kwargs). Is there anything wrong with my configuration of square_image in THUMBNAIL_ALIASES? Could it be anything else? -

Access a value from a list field in django
I have a list field in my django model as follows: profiles = ListField() I am using mongo as storage database with help of django_mongodb_engine. In mongo db shell, If I want to search on a field in a list, like searching 'alice' in ['alice', 'in', 'wonderland'], it can be performed simply by adding in query {'profiles': 'alice'}. Can we perform search like that via django querysets ? When I tried, it gave me an exception "list indices must be integers, not str". Please guide me in this regards. Thanks -
Save OneToOneField field from model in Django

Django form in the base template. How to display validation error?
I use Django 1.8.14. I have Search form on every page of my website. I pass Search form to base template through context processor. Each time form sends data to /search/ view. And there is a problem.

Why two similar model behaves differently in django
I have two similar models but when render them it behaves differently. My first two models are: class Sitting(models.Model): sit_date = models.DateField(blank=False,unique=True) cut_off_date = models.DateField(null=True, blank=True) ballot_date = models.DateField(null=True, blank=True) class Circular(models.Model): cir_no = models.IntegerField(blank=False) sit_start_date = models.DateField(blank=False) sit_end_date = models.DateField(blank=False) @property def ballot(self): qs = Sitting.objects.filter(sit_date=self.sit_start_date) return qs and in the template: {% for b in c.ballot %} <p>ballot: {{ b.ballot_date }}</p> {% endfor %} It gave correct date. But When I use following two models which are nearly same as above it shows nothing: class NewSitting(models.Model): sit_date = models.DateField(blank=False, unique=True) new_sit_date = models.DateField(null=True, blank=True, unique=True) cut_off_date = models.DateField(null=True, blank=True) ballot_date = models.DateField(null=True, blank=True) def get_new_sit_date(self): return self.sit_date def save(self, *args, **kwargs): if not self.new_sit_date: self.new_sit_date = self.get_new_sit_date() super(NewSitting, self).save(*args, **kwargs) class Circular(models.Model): cir_no = models.IntegerField(blank=False) sit_start_date = models.DateField(blank=False) sit_end_date = models.DateField(blank=False) def newballot(self): qs = NewSitting.objects.filter(new_sit_date=self.sit_start_date) return qs and In the template: {% for b in c.newballot %} <p>ballot: {{ b.ballot_date }}</p> {% endfor %} This template shows nothing.

reorder data in database in no particular order
I would like to ask. We have an app called Task and the fields in the model are: id = models.UUIDField(primary_key=True, default=uuid.uuid4, editable=False) name = models.CharField(max_length=120) created_datetime = models.DateTimeField(default=timezone.now) my concern is, in this task, we would like to allow the user the re-order the task the they have made depending on how they want it to be displayed. I am working on the backend part, I wanted to know how to do it. I came up with one idea but I am not sure how good it is. I added a new field: priority = models.CharField(max_length=30) this is the field that will trigger the order in the query "order by". But I do not really know what values I will be putting in there. Should it be something link this id name priority 1 task1 1 2 task2 2 3 task3 3 for instance, this is the initial data the user input to the database. and when he wants to change the order like he wants to move task2 to the first place. should the task2 and task1's priority will be modified like: id name priority 1 task1 2 2 task2 1 3 task3 3 this is the thing … -

Django Channels using django shell
I'm currently am trying to use Celery to send sockets with django channels. However I found the same issue there as with using Django's shell, and was hoping if someone could enlighten me. I have it set up so that within views.py, when a user sends a POST request it will call Group("chat").send({'text':'hello'}) The browser then displays an alert. However when I try to do the same thing using Django's shell or one of Celery's tasks: $ python3 manage.py shell $ from channels import Group $ Group("chat").send({'text': 'hello'}) It doesn't do anything, not even returning an error.
