Django Mixin called twice and returns diferent responses
I've been strugglig with this bug for a week. I created a mixin BaseMixin to provide common data for two views EmailView and PanelView. class BaseMixin(ContenxtMixin): def get_context_data(self, hash, **kwargs): context = super().get_context_data(**kwargs) try: ficha = self.get_ficha(hash) print("TRY") except Exception as e: print("EXCEPT") # more code return context def get_ficha(self, hash): pass class EmailView(BaseMixin, TemplateView): template_name = "app/cotador/cotacao_email_produtividade.html" def get_context_data(self, hash, **kwargs): context = super().get_context_data(hash, **kwargs) # more code return context class PanelView(BaseMixin, TemplateView): login_url = '/login/' redirect_field_name = 'next' template_name = "panel/proposta.html" def get_context_data(self, hash, **kwargs): context = super().get_context_data(hash, **kwargs) # more code return context Whenever I call EmailView it calls the BaseMixin twice. First with the hash parameter, going into the try block and the second time lacking the hash and raising an exception. I noticed this behaviour by printing from within the try/except block: TRY INFO 2022-07-27 20:33:04,954 "GET /minhas-propostas/proposta/951c18b30ba2999860fa3324199d1272ae0275480b6453f54f90e348fe834bad HTTP/1.1" 200 92114 EXCEPT ERROR 2022-07-27 20:33:06,200 Internal Server Error: /minhas-propostas/proposta/Roboto-Regular.ttf And, I have no idea why, Roboto-Regular.ttf shows up in the url instead of the hash!!! Then, when PanelView is called it works well with no errors and is called only once: TRY INFO 2022-07-27 20:44:34,664 "GET /cotacao-produtividade/print/487af3b7bf8e2615702ca662fe8746889750d67264e4ed10a8ada1e67f6ac9ed I dont know how usefull it can be, … -

How to match URL with ?code=string&state=string?

Python - Space before and after operators like =, +, - etc
following the PEP 8 rules for python, you should use spaces before and after operators, for example "x = 1 + 2". I follow this convention and i don't like it without spaces. Currently im working on a Django Project and i want to include a .html document with a keyword. > {% include "pagination.html" with page = shares %} If i run it like written above i get a keyword error: "with" in 'include' tag needs at least one keyword argument. Without the spaces before and after the = it works without problems. Is that the only way or is there an other way? Thank you in advance. -
override mongoengine query mechanism
Let's say that I have 2 mongo collections, being handled using mongoengine at server. class UserA(Document): first_name = fields.StringField() last_name = fields.StringField() country = fields.StringField() class UserB(Document): # completely independent of UserA at storage layer full_name = fields.StringField() country = fields.StringField() UserA and UserB are 2 separate collections (stored separately in database) having separate entries and have nothing to do with each other at the storage layer. UserA can be converted to UserB with this formula at compute (server) layer. def convert_to_userb(user_a): user_b = UserB() user_b.full_name = user_a.first_name + " " + user_b.last_name user_b.country = user_a.country return user_b Now, for some reason I want to override the objects() call in mongoengine of UserB to also fetch data from UserA. Something like @queryset_manager def objects(doc_cls, queryset): actual_results = <Some form of UserA.objects(query_set)> # result that one would get normally without any override additional_results = convert_to_userb(<Some form of UserA.objects(query_set)>) return actual_results + additional_results What's the best way to achieve this? Any particular reason why you would recommend against it, if any? -
Whitelabel Django Application and connecting Google and Facebook accounts
We have a web application that runs on say domain.com. We then have whitelabel users that access the application from subdomain.theirdomain.com. Our application is able to connect Google, Facebook, Twitter accounts using our main domain (domain.com) and our integration with each platform. But when whitelabel users want to connect the process shows the name of our application and redirects to our domain (breaking whitelabel). We are looking at creating a generic application on each platform (google, facebook etc) for our whitelabel users on generic domain xyz-connector.com with a generic name and logo. However the users are not logged in on that domain so when the platform redirects to that domain after the user has successfully gone through the authorization\connection process we cannot associate the connection with the user. We need to know which account has just authenticated so we can update the database. What is the best practice for something like this? Using Django 3. Ideally we want our users to connect\authenticate their accounts directly from their white labeled subdomain or domain. Rather than having to login to xyz-connector.com. Can we share sessions? Or do these services (facebook, google) allow us to pass custom variables they will pass back to … -

Making a row of cards in bootstrap the height of the highest card
working on a small personal project just to test my ability in Django and Bootstrap. Currently I am able to retrieve a list of quizzes to which their respective details are displayed in an individual card using a for loop, however some of the quizzes have different heights due to the description of each quiz being varied in length. It looks horrific and I am wondering how I can make all of the cards the same height as the highest/tallest card, I've explored using flexboxes for this kind of thing but the first card in the row shrinks in width. Here is my current code and what it looks like in the browser: <div class="row p-2 justify-content-center"> {% for obj in filter.qs %} <div class="col-md-4 mt-4"> <div class="card p-2" id="quiz"> <div class="card-body"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-md-10"> <h5 class="card-title">{{ obj.Name }}</h5> </div> <div class="col-md-2 text-right"> <i class="far fa-heart"></i> </div> </div> <h6 class="card-subtitle mb-2 text-muted">By: {{ obj.Author }}</h6> <h6 class="card-subtitle mb-2 text-muted">Points: {{ obj.Points_Worth }}</h6> <h6 class="card-subtitle mb-4 text-danger">Category: <a href="">{{ obj.Category }}</a></h6> <p class="card-text">{{ obj.Description }}</p> <a href="#" class="btn btn-primary w-100 mt-auto">Play Quiz</a> </div> </div> </div> {% endfor %} </div> Ideally, I'd like all cards to be the same height despite … -
How to Customize Django Serializer Validation Errors?

How to use selenium to access web database in Django?
I am running a Django website using the given dev server command ./manage.py runserver The website contains a submission form with the textfield "title" and a submit button. Once the button is clicked, the input is saved as an object in the Titles table initialized by the following Django model: class Title(models.Model): id = models.IntegerField(primary_key=True) title = models.CharField(max_length=200, unique=True) I am testing on Python to see if the input is actually saved as an object in the table by using django.test.TestCase and selenium webdriver to write a title and click submit. The problem is that I don't know how to access the objects in the datatable afterwards. Is there a way to access the datatables on the servers using a test method? I am using sqllite for the database. -

I can't Read Outlook Email with Python on Linux
I need to do an email automation. For this I need to read an email from Outlook and then send it after configuring some data.

I want to use HTML to dynamically change values and call py functions without screen refreshing
I have an app.py and a bunch of classes related to cards, players, and etc. The cards come from a csv in my local repo. In theory the game works just through the terminal, but obviously it's unintuitive and I figured a website is a good home for displaying the game. I'm currently using flask and I've looked at many many many posts relating to this and the answers are summed up to: Flask can only do that if I refresh the page. Use django or ajax. Rewrite everything in JS and use react. Also as a heads up I'm very much a noob, I only started coding recently and have more of an aptitude for python logic and constructing the game itself, but anything web-related I absolutely suck at as it's a bunch of syntax and annoying nuances that I still don't fully understand. However, if that's really my only option then of course I'll try and familiarize myself but as of right now I don't even know where to start. Any advice would be appreciated, especially if I have the whole thing confused and don't even know what I'm talking about. If you need more code or context … -
