Django date() doesn't translate uk and run month names
When I try to get localized datetime in a template using {{ enrolment.datetime_access_ends|date:"j E Y" }} I get 29 July 2025 (instead of expected 29 июля 2025). Localization works fine in all other places. I have this in my settings.py: LOCALE_PATHS = [BASE_DIR / "locale"] # type: ignore TIME_ZONE = "Europe/Kiev" USE_I18N = True USE_L10N = True USE_TZ = True LANGUAGE_CODE = "ru-UA" LANGUAGES = [ ("ru", _("Russian")), ("uk", _("Ukrainian")), ] When I try to get month translation from shell, I get expected results: >>> activate("uk") >>> date(timezone.now(), "F") 'Серпень' >>> activate("ru") >>> date(timezone.now(), "F") 'Август' But when I try to do the same from inside of the view, for some reason it doesn't work: print(get_language()) print(date(timezone.now(), "F")) gives ru August in logs. And if I change language to any other then uk or ru activate("pt") it works fine: pt Agosto -
Django + Javascript - dynamic ModelForm generation issue
I have this code {% extends 'base.html' %} {% block content %} <form method='POST'> <script> function addMemberFnc() { document.getElementById("teamMemberDiv").innerHTML+={{ project_members_form }} } </script> {{ project_form }} <p id="demo" onclick="addMemberFnc()">Add member.</p> <div style="border-style: dotted" id="teamMemberDiv"> {# {{ project_members_form }}#} </div> <button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary my-5">Submit</button> </form> {% endblock %} I would like to add project_member_form based on some action (it does not really matter now what action). This is not working because it seems that JS is not able to see Python variable in <script> block. Here is issue I've got: EDIT: I have got single form without any functions working without any issues. Here is my render method: def project_generation(request): if request.method == 'POST': pass else: project_form = ProjectForm(prefix='Project') project_role_form = ProjectRoleForm(prefix='ProjectRole') project_members_form = ProjectMemberForm(prefix='ProjectMember') # logging.debug(project_form) # logging.debug(project_members_form) return render(request, "project_xml_generation.html", { "project_form": project_form, "project_members_form": project_members_form }, ) -

Python Django Form - issue with checkboxes in ModelMultipleChoiceField
I have this model class ProjectMember(models.Model): member_name = models.CharField(max_length=100) member_uid = models.CharField(max_length=15) member_reviewer_uid = models.CharField(max_length=15) member_roles = models.ManyToManyField('ProjectRole', blank=False) member_discipline = models.ManyToManyField('ProjectDiscipline', blank=False) class ProjectRole(models.Model): role_name = models.CharField(max_length=10, unique=True) def __str__(self): return self.role_name this Form class ProjectMemberForm(forms.ModelForm): class Meta: model = ProjectMember fields = ( 'member_name', 'member_uid', 'member_reviewer_uid', 'member_roles' ) # member_roles = forms.ModelChoiceField( member_roles = forms.ModelMultipleChoiceField( queryset=ProjectRole.objects.all(), widget=forms.CheckboxSelectMultiple(attrs={'class': 'form-control'}), required=True, # empty_label=None, # Hide the empty label for the select multiple widget. ) widgets = { 'member_name': forms.TextInput(attrs={'class': 'form-control'}), 'member_uid': forms.TextInput(attrs={'class': 'form-control'}), 'member_reviewer_uid': forms.TextInput(attrs={'class': 'form-control'}), } I have tried also the commented lines of code. I am still getting only this I would call it listbox instead of checkboxes: My issue is that I would like to have it as checkbox instead of this list to crosscheck everything I want to be active. EDIT: Note that I do not intent to save any data into database. This is going to act as configuration server and output is .xml file. -

Unable to display dash-plotly graph in webapp written with django/angular
The company were I work is building a website that is supposed to show some graphs and statistics. The front-end is written in angular and the back-end in python. I would like to use dash to create the plots but I'm having a hard time displaying my test dash app. In the front end there is a button 'draw graph' that when pressed should open a new window with where the app is shown. I tried following the django-plotly-dash tutorial but for some reason I cannot make it work. I'm relatively new to django btw. I have a graph app in the django project. My testing dash app is in dash_app.py and it contains a button that does nothing. from dash import html from django_plotly_dash import DjangoDash app = DjangoDash("Test") app.layout = html.Div([html.Button("Submit", id="submit-value")]) My template is dash_template.html <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>Dashboard</title> {%load plotly_dash%} </head> <body> <h1>Dashboard Test</h1> {%plotly_app name="Test" %} </body> </html> And the views.py looks like this. def dash_view(request): return render(request, "graph/dash_template.html") When I click the the draw_graph button, the new window opens and the header Dashboard Test is displayed but the Submit button does not appear.

Django Email Sending Issue: Email Not Sent and Not Appearing in Sent Items
I'm working on a Django project where I need to send an email with an attached PDF file. My current setup is as follows: Django Version: 4.0.3 Python Version: 3.12.2 Problem: The code runs without throwing any errors. However, the email is not being received by the recipient. The email is also not appearing in the "Sent" folder of the sending Gmail account. Things I've Tried: Verified that the email configuration in settings.py is correct, using the Gmail SMTP server. Checked that the PDF file exists at the specified path. Ensured that there are no exceptions thrown during the email sending process. Tried sending a simple email without attachment, but still no success. Checked Gmail account security settings, including enabling "Less secure app access" and using an App Password. ** Questions: ** What might be causing the email to not be sent or appear in the sent items? Are there any additional debugging steps I can take to figure out what's going wrong? Could there be an issue with Gmail's SMTP server, or is there something I might be missing in the Django configuration? def send_email(request, customer_id): try: order = customer_agent.objects.get(customer_id=customer_id) except customer_agent.DoesNotExist: return HttpResponseNotFound("Order not found") subject = 'Your … -

Django generic DetailView: what is the best way to optionally include a reverse-related object?
Background Models Let's say I have a django generic DetailView that I use to display a single object instance of a model called Car. Then let's say I have another model called Race. Among many fields, this Race model has a ForeignKey field that is linked to Car (i.e., the Car that a Driver (user) used for a Race). Example models.py from django.conf import settings class Car(models.Model): """ a bunch of fields, including many fk fields """ class Race(models.Model): car = models.ForeignKey(Car, on_delete=models.CASCADE, related_name="races") driver = models.models.ForeignKey(settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL, on_delete=models.CASCADE) """ a bunch of other fields, including fk fields """ View Now let's say I have a generic DetailView that my website's users have used for a long time to see a single car object. Example views.py This has a very simplified queryset (my actual queryset has the same sort of structure but more reverse-related fields with their respective related fields). from django.views import generic class CarDetailView(generic.DetailView): model = Car queryset = Car.objects.select_related( """ a bunch of related fields """ ).prefetch_related( """ some reverse related fields """, Prefetch(""" a reverse related field """, SomeReverseRelatedField.objects.select_related(""" some of its related fields """)), ) New feature :) Recently, however, I've implemented a way for my … -
Django: how do I make a dependent dropdown load a filtered list of objects on the update form?
I have multiple dependent dropdowns throughout my application. To add a new record, the form works as expected; for example, you select a Country and the list of State objects for that Country will load, you then select a State and the Suburb objects for that State will load. You save the record, it has all the fields saved correctly, you view the record and all the info can be viewed all as expected. The problem I have is when I want to change/update the record. The instantiated SuburbForm is told to first load a blank dropdown for State, and call a function load_dropdowns when the parent object Country has been set. This action of calling load_dropdowns does not seem to happen in the update form, instead it just stays blank, even if I try to re-select the parent. If I change the instantiated form to load all objects instead of the blank dropdown, the update form fills in the field correctly, but that means the add new and update forms now load all objects instead of the filtered list. models.py from django.db import models class Country(models.Model): item_name = models.CharField(verbose_name="Country") class State(models.Model): item_name = models.CharField(verbose_name="State") state_in_country = models.ForeignKey(Country, on_delete=models.SET_NULL, verbose_name="Country", … -
How to concatenate in Dango annotate()
I want to concatenate a string variable with one of my field, but can't figure out what I'm doing wrong I tried this, where prefix is a string and filename_mask is a field in the table plots = ( PlotDefinitions.objects.filter(is_active=True) .annotate( filename=Concat(Value(prefix), 'filename_mask') ) .values('name', 'description', 'filename') ) I get the error Expression contains mixed types: CharField, TextField. You must set output_field. even though I'm concatenating 2 String type. So I added output_field plots = ( PlotDefinitions.objects.filter(is_active=True) .annotate( filename=Concat(Value(prefix), 'filename_mask', output_field=CharField()) ) .values('name', 'description', 'filename') ) but this gives me the error "'CharField' object has no attribute 'get_internal_type'" -
Nested Serializer with Foreign Key and to_field
Stock model has a OneToMany relationship with Data model. I am using the to_field to link them via model_number field. class Stock(models.Model): model_number = models.CharField(max_length=100, unique=True, null=True) model = models.CharField(max_length=100) brand = models.CharField(max_length=100) msrp = models.IntegerField(default=0) def __str__(self): return f"{self.brand} - {self.model} - {self.model_number}" class Data(models.Model): model_number = models.ForeignKey(Stock, to_field='model_number', on_delete=models.CASCADE) price = models.FloatField() date = models.DateField() def __str__(self): return self.model_number I have my serializers to show each model number and then the nested relationship of data. class DataSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer): class Meta: model = Data fields = '__all__' class StockSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer): data = DataSerializer(many=True, read_only=True) class Meta: model = Stock fields = ['brand', 'model', 'model_number', 'msrp', 'data'] However the price does not return at all in my API view.

Django complex relation with joins
I have the following models: class Position(BaseModel): name = models.CharField() class Metric(BaseModel): name = models.CharField() class PositionKPI(BaseModel): position = models.ForeignKey(Position) metric = models.ForeignKey(Metric) expectation = models.FloatField() class Employee(BaseModel): position = models.ForeignKey(Position) class EmployeeKPI(BaseModel): employee = models.ForeignKey(Employee) metric = models.ForeignKey(Metric) value = models.FloatField() def kpi(self): return PositionKPI.objects.filter(position=self.employee.position, metric=self.metric).first() I believe it's possible to rewrite the kpi method as a relation. In SQL it would look something like this: select positionkpi.* from employeekpi join employee on employee.id = employeekpi.employee_id join positionkpi on positionkpi.id = employee.position_id and positionkpi.metric_id = employeekpi.metric_id Please advise how to do it -

removing data migrations in Django
I have been working on a Django app for a client. throughout development there have been data migrations (data insertions/modifications, not structural changes) that have been specific to the client. I am now working on bringing on other clients to use the same app, so I want all reminents of the client specific data removed from the migration files. I feel like the safe and simple way is to keep those migration files and just erase the data migration operations logic. I dont see any reason to keep the data migration logic around anyways, even for the initial client, as it has already been tested and applied in their production environment a while ago. My question: Is this solution sound or are there other points that should be considered? I've searched on the matter, but have not found anything relating to a situation like mine where the data migrations will be introduced to a context where they are incorrect. -
Remote tcp connexion to postgresql not responding
I can't connect to my remote postgresql server. I'm on a local network containing my server (192.168.1.2) and my development workstation (192.168.1.3). I can't connect to my database on port 5432. My server receives TCP frames but does not respond. The other protocols SSH, HTTP are working. However, I can connect to the database on my server on interfaces 127.0.0.1 and 192.168.1.2. On my server, I've modified the pg_hba.conf and postgresql.conf files, adding the lines host and listen_addresses = '*'. Port 5432 is open and listening. The strange thing is that my workstation sends requests on my server's port (tcpdump below) but doesn't respond (no ack). Everything seems correct but it doesn't work. Do you have any idea ?

Vector Search with PGVector takes more time
I am using PGVector in Django to make a Vector Search. The time it takes to find the matching row is in few milliseconds, the code I use for it is embedding=self.get_input_embedding(inputText) output=( table.objects.annotate( distance=CosineDistance("embedding",embedding) ) .order_by(CosineDistance("embedding",embedding)) .filter(distance__lt=1-threshold)[:2] ) The output variable is of class type QuerySet. Now to get the value from it I am using the code for neigh in output: print(neigh.Link) Now this block is taking more than 3 seconds. What possibly is the reason for this?
