Difficulty creating a serialized field
I am new to Django and overall web development. I am trying to make it so that each clothing item has a clothing type.The clothing type is a Model because users can add and remove clothing types at their discretion. But as you can seen in my test that giving it just a name of the clothing type won't work. I've been trying to figure out how to serialize the field. I have this test: def test_add_clothingitems_ok(self): token = self.get_token() res = self.client.post('/api/clothing/', data=json.dumps({ 'id':1, 'name':"fav blue shirt", 'location':"bottom drawer", 'last_worn':"2022-08-15", 'clothingType': "shirt", 'image': 'blueshirt.jpeg', }), content_type='application/json', HTTP_AUTHORIZATION=f'Bearer {token}') self.assertEquals(res.status_code, 201) result = json.loads(res.content)['data'] self.assertEquals(result['name'], 'fav blue shirt') self.assertEquals(result['location'], 'bottom drawer') self.assertEquals(result['clothingType'], 'shirt') self.assertEquals(result['last_worn'], '2022-08-15') self.assertEquals(result['image'], 'blueshirt.jpeg') That fails stating that "shirt" isn't a clothingType.

ForeignKey fields are not updated in one POST request

Why will my DNS not direct to my Heroku app?
I have a Django application I have built and deployed on Heroku. I have a custom domain I wish to use for my Heroku application. The application works perfectly on the herokuapp URL, but the custom URL doesn't seem to be working at all, what am I doing wrong? Here is the custom domain as set up on Heroku. You'll notice I blacked out the DNS target, that may not have been necessary, I just am unsure if that is something that is sensitive as I am still a bit of a noob at all this: I have added the DNS information as a CNAME on my Godaddy DNS Management: I can guarantee the DNS Target on Heroku perfectly matches the DNS Data on Godaddy. The one and only difference between the two strings is the "." that godaddy appends at the end of the data. Despite the fact that everything looks just right to me, I've waited plenty of time for the DNS servers to propagate, I still get this error when I got to http://dinpodcast.com What am I missing / doing wrong? -

Creating instance of another model within Django model manager
I have two django models defined in my models.py file - Employee model and ContactBook model as shown below: class Employee(FatCrocBaseModel): code = models.IntegerField() first_name = models.CharField(max_length=255) last_name = models.CharField(max_length=255) objects = EmployeeManager() class ContactBook(FatCrocBaseModel): employee = models.OneToOneField(Employee, on_delete=models.CASCADE) I am trying to create a custom ModelManager called EmployeeManager where the ContactBook object is automatically created for each employee (one-to-one relationship) each time a new Employee is created. The code for the ModelManager that I came up with is below: class EmployeeManager(models.Manager): def create(self, *args, **kwargs): employee = super(EmployeeManager, self).create(*args, **kwargs) ContactBook.objects.create(employee=employee) return employee I'm a new programmer in Django and would like to know if the above is an acceptable practice in Django (create ContactBook from EmployeeManager). Is there a better way to handle this? -
How to save/update a model to DB using django?

Division of a Price in Django Template Syntax
Basically, what I'm trying to do is get a 1/4 of a price in a Django Template Editor. quote.total is a generated value by the system, for example: 1235.00, and I need to manipulate that value to show 308.75 (1235.00 divided by 4). I've tried things like using {% widthratio quote.total 4 1 %} to get the quotient, however widthratio rounds the quotient, and I need an exact one. I've also tried {% widthratio quote.total 4 100 %}, to get the quotient multiplied by 100 (implying that all I'd need to do is figure out how to place a decimal point two places over), but have found no way of using CSS to place a decimal point in. It is also worth noting that because of the products I am working with quote.total will never have a value in the tenths or hundreths place. I've tried using that to my advantage by adding modulus operators and complex math rules & logic with no success. The one problem with the system I am using is I have no access to the backend to create custom functions, and because of the way the system parses the template, I cannot use script tags. -
Implementing a html templates library for app users
I’m trying to conceptualize how to build an HTML template library inside an existing django app. The app users should be able to select templates, edit the content and publish a new HTML document. This should all be done on the front end of the user's account. Similar to how MailChimp/ConvertKit has a template HTML email newsletter their users can access. So far I have looked at Wagtail and Django-CMS but wondering if anyone knows of a better way of achieving this. Thanks -
