how to add if/else statement to base.html?
I'm trying to put the if/else statement to my base.html file. The idea is to have if/else as a part of the template that will be an extension for my HTML files. The problem is, I'm not sure what syntax would look like. Previously, I had an HTML page (called the essay-page) with some content and if/else statement hardcoded to this particular page. But I want to have if/else as a part of my template too, so I could use it with several pages. Essay-page with hardcoded if/else: {% block body %} {% if essay_found %} <article> <img src="" alt=""> <section id="location"> <h2>Other infos</h2> <address>This essay was made in <span>LOCATION</span> (ADDRESS).</address> </section> <section id="details"> <h2>What's this essay about?</h2> <p>{{ essay_description }}</p> <footer> <p>Need more details? <a href="">Please contact me</a> (but don't spam ;))</p> </footer> </section> <section id="registration"> <h2>Send me your request and job offers!</h2> FORM </section> </article> {% else %} <h2>No essay found for this slug, sorry! </h2> {% endif %} {% endblock%} now I try to put this if/else to my base.html (without a success): <main> {% block body %} {% if essay_found %} {% block article %}{% endblock %} {% else %} <h2>No essay found for this slug, … -

What is the original purpose of Django apps? What are the use cases of Django apps?
I'm building a website that'll use a Bootstrap template similar to the image shown below. I intend to add an authentication and authorization functionality using OAuth 2. The main menu will consist of: Homepage link Statistics app link NLP app link Computer vision app link Contacts page link Login button Without using Django, the homepage would just be index.html, the Statistics app would be a statistics.html page which interacts with the backend to show some plots, the NLP app would be an nlp.html page which interacts with the backend to display some NLP processed text and so on. When using Django, how am I supposed to structure it? Should I create a separate NLP Django app, and a separate Statistics Django app and a separate Homepage Django app? I'm already surprised that I had to create an app just to be able to have a homepage, and then had to add path('', include('homepage.urls')), to urlpatterns to redirect / to the homepage app. If I use the Bootstrap template for the homepage app, then how would I share the JS files, the CSS files and other boilerplate files of the template with the other apps of my website? Once the user … -

Django: Perform GROUP BY over a view queryset
I need to perform group by over a queryset of objects already filtered by standard django filters in order to filter by how many objects in queryset are related to same foreign key object.

Django doesn't group by if I omit order_by() clause
I was trying to find an answer for this question in documentation but I unfortunately did not succeed. In documentation it states that if I want to group my objects and Count them I should use the following: MyObject.objects.values('field_to_group_by').annotate(Count('field_to_count')) However it doesn't work. But when I add simple order_by it does: MyObject.objects.values('field_to_group_by').annotate(Count('field_to_count')).order_by() Any idea why is that? They didn't mention that in documentation. -
Create Django Team / Player where order does matter
I'm creating a database of all races that are won by Athletes of our club. Goal is to have an overview of all the races that are won, but also a per_athlete count of the wins. A person in the database can be either be an athlete or a coach, or both, but not during the same race. A race can be with 1, 2,4 or 8 persons and the order of the athletes does matter, so I therefore think that a ManyToMany field is not working (only showed up to 4). I now solved it with 8 OneToOneField's. There must always be 1 athlete, so the first cannot be blank. class Person(models.Model): letters = models.CharField(max_length=10, blank = False) name = models.CharField(max_length = 100, blank = True) tussen = models.CharField(max_length = 50, blank = True) lastname = models.CharField(max_length = 100, blank = False) starting_year = models.IntegerField(blank = True) class RaceWin(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length =100, blank = False) year = models.IntegerField(blank = False) month = models.IntegerField(blank = True, null = True) athlete_1 = models.OneToOneField(Person, on_delete = models.CASCADE, related_name='athlete1', blank = False) athlete_2 = models.OneToOneField(Person, on_delete = models.SET_NULL, related_name='athlete2', blank = True, null = True) athlete_3 = models.OneToOneField(Person, on_delete = models.SET_NULL, related_name='athlete3', … -

Django button submit not work after using javascript code
This would be my Registration page. When the script html tag testscript.js code is remove or commented out, the register button works perfectly fine but when I input the testscript.js, the register button is kind of disabled.
