Django - Can't login into admin site with user create directly from admit site
So, i have created a Customer user model using AbstractUser Model.py class Department(models.Model): department_name = models.CharField(max_length=20) def __str__(self): return self.department_name class Role(models.Model): role_name = models.CharField(max_length=120) def __str__(self): return self.role_name class Task(models.Model): task_desp = models.TextField(max_length=100) in_progress = models.BooleanField() def __str__(self): return self.task_desp class Employee(AbstractUser): username = None email = models.EmailField(max_length=100,unique=True) phone_number = models.CharField(max_length=14) department = models.ForeignKey(Department,on_delete=models.CASCADE,null=True,blank=True) role = models.ForeignKey(Role,on_delete=models.CASCADE,null=True,blank=True) address = models.TextField(max_length=200) task_assigned = models.ForeignKey(Task,on_delete=models.CASCADE,null=True,blank=True) USERNAME_FIELD= 'email' REQUIRED_FIELDS = ['phone_number'] objects= UserManager() def __str__(self): return self.email manager.py from django.contrib.auth.base_user import BaseUserManager class UserManager(BaseUserManager): use_in_migrations = True def create_user(self,email,password=None,**extra_fields): if not email: raise ValueError("Please provide email") email = self.normalize_email(email) user = self.model(email=email,**extra_fields) user.set_password(password) user.save(using=self._db) return user def create_superuser(self,email,password,**extra_fields): extra_fields.setdefault('is_staff',True) extra_fields.setdefault('is_superuser',True) extra_fields.setdefault('is_active',True) if extra_fields.get('is_staff') is not True: raise ValueError("super user must have staff user") return self.create_user(email,password,**extra_fields) Added the model in setting AUTH_USER_MODEL = 'emp.Employee' So,I have made 3 user via python manage.py createsuperuser and was able to login into admit site, but when I made a 4th user directly from admin site, gave it all staff and superuser permission I am not able to login I get this error Please enter the correct email and password for a staff account.

Why Django auto adds permissions to group?
Currently I'm making some groups for my backend and I noticed through the admin panel that the groups have some extra permissions I did not add. What is the cause of this behavior? models.py: produccion_group, created = Group.objects.get_or_create(name="Produccion y cuentas") produccion_group.permissions.add( Permission.objects.get(codename='add_brand'), Permission.objects.get(codename='change_brand'), Permission.objects.get(codename='view_brand'), Permission.objects.get(codename='add_expense'), Permission.objects.get(codename='change_expense'), Permission.objects.get(codename='view_expense'), ) produccion_group.save() Admin panel: -
Wrap Django template content in a React layout
I'm used to building Single Page Apps. But for the current project I have a complex application serving almost everything from django templates. It's out of scope to rebuild all the django based content into the SPA with API access. This project is only to replace the header and add a sidebar which slides out of the way when the "hamburger" icon is clicked, or when the media size gets small enough. It's a typical responsive, mobile first, application menu layout with the sidebar to the left of the content on large viewports. In development, the layout works as intended. But there's no server rendered content being put in the "main" content area. This is how I would construct the layout in HTML if I wasn't using react. It doesn't currently work this way because if I render the components individually, they don't share a context for responding to changing viewport and events. <body> <noscript>You need to enable JavaScript to run this app.</noscript> <div id="header"><!-- React --></div> <div> <div id="sidebar"><!-- React --></div> <div id="main">{{ Django Content Here }}</div> </div> <div id="footer">{{ Django Footer Here }}</div> </body> If I follow the standard convention, the layout works because the App.js pulls various … -
Class based views does not render HTML in template-Is context missing?
I started to work with class based views, but the codes that I've written initially does not render in the template when I use class based views. The data that is in note.title (see template) simply does not show up when I use class based views. When I change back to function based views and refresh the page, the HTML code in the template shows up without any problems. Could someone explain what causes this error? I've read something about context not been found by the template but I don't really understand what it means and how context resolves the issue. Thanks in advance! views.py from multiprocessing import context from django.shortcuts import render import notes from .models import Notes from django.http import Http404 from django.views.generic import ListView, DetailView, CreateView # Create your views here. class NotesCreateView(CreateView): models = Notes fields = ["title", "text"] succes_url = "/smart/notes" class NotesListView(ListView): model = Notes context_objects_name = "note" template_name = "notes/notes_list.html" class NotesDetailView(DetailView): model = Notes context_object_name = "note" # def list(request): # all_notes = Notes.objects.all() # context = {'notes': all_notes} # return render(request, 'notes/notes_list.html', context) # def detail(request, pk): # try: # note = Notes.objects.get(pk=pk) # except Notes.DoesNotExist: # raise Http404("This note doesn't … -

save() method in Django model receiving string instead of date object
Currently we're migrating Django from version 1.11.29 to version 3.2.15 and one thing that we noticed is that the DateFields in the save() method in models is now a string instead of a Date object as it used to be. this is one of the fields that now is a string service_date_starts = models.DateField(blank=True, null=True,) is this expected? or is there a way the DateFields in save() still be an object without parsing? -
Installer for local webapp for stock management using django

Handle Django server errors (5XX) in production to prevent showing sensitve information
I'm developing an API using Django Rest Framework. In the codes, there might be a lot of exceptional situations that we may not think of and cause 5XX errors. One approach to handle these errors is to put a try-exception in the whole function (Or places you guess an unknown error might occur). I want to show the details of the error in the API response (Not just in the logging server) when the debug mode is on in Django. Also, I want to hide these details in production mode (when debug is false) and just pass the error code with no body when the error is 5XX. Is there any official (and efficient) way to do that? I was thinking of creating a middleware to handle that, but in this case, I should check all responses before passing the response to the user, and this is not efficient at all. I thought there might be a built-in function to handle this stuff, and I can override that to hide the body of the 5XX errors. -
How to authenticate with encrypted email as username?
In my Django web-app, I would like the user to authenticate itself with an encrypted email address that would simply be the username. Due to the existing GDPR regulations in my country, I have to encrypt e-mail addresses and by doing it with the help of Python Cryptography and Fernet functions, each string is different after encryption, even if two strings are encrypted with one and the same key. Is it possible to authenticate the user without errors in such a situation? If this is possible, where can I read a little more about it? -
How to use Tablesorter for Select?
I'm trying to use tablesorter.js to sort a column by a select box. I can't seem to make it work and I've tried most of the stuff written either here or in the docs. Was wondering if someone could help me out with this.

Django models ManyToManyField always adding item to list
I'implemented two models, Card and Dish. I used many-to-many relationship because Dish can be in many cards.

How to use group by, max of a column and also getting other columns of the model from a Django queryset?
I have a model that looks like this class Documents(models.Model): id = models.AutoField(primary_key=True, editable=False) uid = models.CharField(max_length=64) version = models.IntegerField() reviewed_dtm = models.DateTimeField(null=True) timestamp = models.DateTimeField(auto_add_now=True) document = models.FileField() I want the average time difference between the timestamps for the maximum version and the minimum number for every uid. I basically want to know the average time it takes for a document to be reviewed by a user since its creation. Being reviewed is optional, if a user finds the document to be good then marks it as reviewed, or else sends it for the new version. Then another record is made for the uid with an updated version. -

How to hide an HTML generated link that should only be called by javascript addeventListener?
I have a Django app, and want to have an image appear on a webpage only when someone clicks a specific element/image 30 times as such: var count = 0; document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function(){ document.querySelector("#PDDO").onclick = function(){ if(count > 30){ document.querySelector("#PDDO").src = document.querySelector("#PDDO").dataset.over }else{ count++; } }}) When this code is executed, the original image is replaced with the hidden image, which is hardcoded in the URL as such: <img src="{% static 'database/images/original_image.png' %}" width="200", height="200", class="revolve" id="PDDO" data-over="{% static 'database/images/new_image.png' %}"> </div> However, people can easily find the source of this image simply by inspecting the page source code, and I can't seem to hide it: #Page source: <img src="/static/database/images/original_image.png" ,="" class="revolve" id="PDDO" data-over="/static/database/images/new_image.png" width="200" height="200"> I tried to implement js solutions such as below, but to no avail. $("a[data-label='document.querySelector("#PDDO").dataset.over']").hide() What is the best way to hide the image url from the page source? -
