Initialize django ModelForm user field with current logged user
I'm trying to initialize some fields of my NewArticleForm with static data. In particular, I want to set the author field with the current logged user/author, and shouldn't be modifyable. This page is reachable only from logged user, and the information is also stored in the url: path('<int:user_id>/create', views.add_article, name='insert'), forms.py: class NewArticleForm(forms.ModelForm): class Meta: model = Article fields = ['author','title', 'content', 'pub_date'] pub_date = forms.DateTimeField(initial=timezone.now()) def save(self, commit=True): article = super(NewArticleForm, self).save(commit=False) if commit: article.save() return article models.py: from django.db import models from django.contrib.auth.models import User class Article(models.Model): author = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE) pub_date = models.DateTimeField() title = models.CharField(max_length=50) content = models.TextField() def __str__(self): return self.title def get_year(self): return self.pub_date.year def get_month(self): return self.pub_date.month views.py: @login_required def add_article(request, user_id): if request.method == 'POST': form = NewArticleForm(request.POST) if form.is_valid(): form.save() messages.success(request, 'Articolo inserito con successo!') return redirect('/blog_app/') else: messages.warning(request, 'Qualche campo non è corretto, operazione fallita.') form = NewArticleForm() return render(request, template_name='blog_app/insert.html', context={'insert_form':form}) How can I set author with the current logged user? Bonus question: Why pub_date field, which is a DateTimeField, is displayed as text type? I can't change it. -

Why django runserver command starts 2 processes? What are they for? And how to distinguish between each in the code?
While building some standalone Django app, which will be running tasks in the background as a separate daemon Thread, I ran into a problem because it seemed as if there are two MainThreads when starting the Django server, each Thread has a different id. After digging more into the problem, it turned out that it's because it's actually two processes. Experiement: Run django-admin startproject example && cd example to start a new project. Edit example/settings.py adding imoprt os if it's not already imported and then add the line print(f"Current processes ID:{os.getpid()}") Run python manage.py runserver and look at the output Current processes ID:426286 Current processes ID:426288 Watching for file changes with StatReloader Performing system checks...

How to handle empty argument value in python function of Django views?
I have an application that passes the user name from the HTML template to the URL and functions in the views. views.py def cv_detail_view(request, username): if username=='': return redirect("accounts:login") else: user = get_object_or_404(User, username=username) try: personal_info = PersonalInfo.objects.get(user=user) except PersonalInfo.DoesNotExist: # if personal info doesn't exist redirect to create or 404 page. if user == request.user: return redirect("cvs:create_personal_info") else: raise Http404("CV Does Not Exist.") work_experience = WorkExperience.objects.filter(user=user) education = Education.objects.filter(user=user) context = { "personal_info": personal_info, "work_experience": work_experience, "education": education, } return render(request, "detail.html", context) Html snippet: <li><a class="nav-link" href="{% url 'cvs:cv_detail' user.username %}">Use templates</a></li> ursl.py path(r'^(?P<username>[\w._-]+)/$',views.cv_detail_view,name='cv_detail'), My idea is to redirect users to login page if the parameter username is empty i.e, if the user is not logged in.

Get Context Data on Attribute within Model in Django DetailView
I am trying to filter all reviews that correspond to listings created by a certain viewer. The purpose is to put all the reviews someone has received on their listings on a profile page. I am able to use get_context_data to pull in the listing reviews, but I want to filter on a relationship within the listing itself. Views.py class ProfileDetailView(DetailView): model = Profile template_name = 'account/profile_detail.html' context_object_name = 'profile_detail' def get_object(self): return self.request.user.profile def get_context_data(self, **kwargs): context = super(ProfileDetailView, self).get_context_data(**kwargs) context['reviews'] = RentalListingReviews.objects.filter(RentalListing.lender = self.request.user) return context Models.py class RentalListing(models.Model): item_id = models.UUIDField( primary_key=True, default=uuid.uuid4, editable=False ) lender = models.ForeignKey( get_user_model(), on_delete = models.CASCADE, ) item_name = models.CharField(max_length=200) def __str__(self): return self.item_name def get_absolute_url(self): return reverse('rental_listing_detail', args=[str(self.item_id)]) class RentalListingReviews(models.Model): listing = models.ForeignKey( RentalListing, on_delete = models.PROTECT, related_name = 'listing_reviews', ) review = models.TextField(max_length = 1000) author = models.ForeignKey( get_user_model(), on_delete = models.PROTECT, ) def __str__(self): return self.review def get_absolute_url(self): return reverse('rental_listing_detail', args=[str(self.listing.item_id)]) -
conditional querysets Django
I'm trying to show the server to the user only if the user is a moderator or the creator of the server. so i wrote this code: class ServerModeratingView(LoginRequiredMixin, View): def get(self, request, server_tag): moderator = ServerModerator.objects.get(user=request.user) server = Server.objects.get(Q(tag=server_tag), Q(creator=request.user) | Q(moderators=moderator)) ... I thought Q object will make this code conditional like if the request.user is not the creator then user is a moderator this works fine if the user is a moderator of the server but the creator(creator is not one of the moderators so moderator queryset will be empty) shows this error: ServerModerator matching query does not exist. models.py: class Server(models.Model): ... tag = models.CharField(max_length=50, unique=True) moderators = models.ManyToManyField('ServerModerator', related_name='server') ... class ServerModerator(models.Model): user = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE, related_name='moderator_of') allow_create_tag = models.BooleanField(default=True) allow_create_rule = models.BooleanField(default=False) allow_remove_user = models.BooleanField(default=True) allow_remove_moderator = models.BooleanField(default=False) allow_delete_post = models.BooleanField(default=False) -

Django Models - Form saves but model is blank
Not sure my title is fully representing my problem. I thought I would put a screenshot of the problem (admin panel), so it's clearer for everyone It looks like the form is savings, but nothing goes inside. Here is the models code: class Venue(models.Model): name = models.CharField(verbose_name="Name",max_length=100, null=True, blank=True) address = models.CharField(verbose_name="Address",max_length=100, null=True, blank=True) town = models.CharField(verbose_name="Town",max_length=100, null=True, blank=True) county = models.CharField(verbose_name="County",max_length=100, null=True, blank=True) post_code = models.CharField(verbose_name="Post Code",max_length=8, null=True, blank=True) country = models.CharField(verbose_name="Country",max_length=100, null=True, blank=True) longitude = models.CharField(verbose_name="Longitude",max_length=50, null=True, blank=True) latitude = models.CharField(verbose_name="Latitude",max_length=50, null=True, blank=True) city = models.CharField(max_length=120) def __str__(self): return str(self.name) if self.name else '' Obviously, I am aware I have asked to return '' if self.name wasnt there. The reason why I did it, is because initially, the models was visible on the admin panel under "-" but was throwing an error message when clicking on it. Considering I am working with a form, here is the form code: class VenueForm(forms.ModelForm): name = forms.CharField(max_length=100, required=True, widget = forms.HiddenInput()) address = forms.CharField(max_length=100, required=True, widget = forms.HiddenInput()) town = forms.CharField(max_length=100, required=True, widget = forms.HiddenInput()) county = forms.CharField(max_length=100, required=True, widget = forms.HiddenInput()) post_code = forms.CharField(max_length=8, required=True, widget = forms.HiddenInput()) country = forms.CharField(max_length=40, required=True, widget = forms.HiddenInput()) longitude = forms.CharField(max_length=50, required=True, widget …
