Django Rest Framwork validate ListSerializer field from data received by form-data request
I am using Django and DRF to handle a restful backend. A request is sent that contains some fields and data (attached images). The request is received by a DRF serializer. I sent the request using form-data (via Postman). I received all fields and images properly except for a ListSerializer. The field is: class ListSerializerClass(serializers.Serializer): field_1 = serializers.IntegerField() field_2 = serializers.ListField(child=serializers.IntegerField(), min_length=1) class MainSerializerClass(serializers.Serializer): list_serialized_field = InputOfficeTaskTypeMap(many=True) normal_field = serializers.CharField(max_length=50) normal_field = serializers.CharField(max_length=50) Using Postman I send a list_serialized_field as a json: {"code": 123, "list_serialized_field": [{"field_1": 1, "field_2": [1,2]}, {"field_1": 2, "field_2": [2]}] Unfortunately, I could not received validated list_serialized_field and after calling serializer.is_valid, I got error that "list_serialized_field" is required. Is there any way to send json data and files in one request and validate them? P.S: I know that I can send form-data like below: list_serialized_field[0]field_2[0] but I want to send them in JSON format. -

Trying to connect Django to MySQL. Connection error when migrating
I've been working for several weeks on Django. So far I have made 2 small projects. Now I tried to connect Django to the MySQL database. First, I started a new project. Then made a new app and updated the app in settings.py After that changed the database in the same file settings.py with my settings, Made a small model, Installed all the necessary aps, MySQLclient etc, Made the first migration successfully with 'Makemigration' So far so good! Next, I tried to make the second migration, as in the instructions. Then the error message appears: 'error 111, can't connect to database' Made some changes in the settings file, including SQL mode 'strict trans tables'. Now it shows me the error: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket ... Missing file .sock. I looked up the directory and there was no such file. In the my.conf file the file is different!!! And exists! What is going on and what to do? -
How to legally protect myself from illegal files?
I understand this might not be the forum to ask this question but I'm trying to protect myself and other website users from illegal videos or files. I am doing a website and how do I check if the uploaded file contains any illegal stuff or adult content. Is there any API or service that does this. Also, how do I legally protect myself? Do I need to write something in the privacy policy and what sort of information do I need to collect from the users that upload files, is IP address enough or do I need email addresses as well? -

Django - No module named 'mywebsite'
I have a django app that I downloaded from a Github repo where the main app is not called "mywebsite" (like instructed in the django tutorial). Everytime I run python manage.py runserver i get the following error. Conceptually I understand the error, but practically I don't. The issue can't be that I have always need to name my repo "mywebsite" right? This is the current repo structure.

Should i allow user to use the admin panel to upload his blog?

WooCommerce webhooks with Django Rest Framework
I am trying to integrate WooCommerce webhooks with Django but without success. I found a solution to a similar issue, but still cant make it work. The thing is that, Woocomerce is generating this secret key automatically. I guess that I have to hard code it by myself in the admin panel ? Also about the code bellow(solution found in the web), Django is complaining that request has no property payload. I guess that it must be data ? mport base64 import hashlib import hmac request_sig = request.headers.get("x-wc-webhook-signature") signature = hmac.new(<your_secret_key>.encode(), request.payload, hashlib.sha256).digest() if hmac.compare_digest( request_sig.encode(), base64.b64encode(signature) ): return True return False enter code here -

4 products on the same line in the template
