Reverse for 'profileEditor' with no arguments not found. 1 pattern(s) tried: ['regisApp/(?P<pk>[0-9]+)/profileEditor/\\Z']
Hello every one like a lot of people I'm having this ( Reverse for 'profileEditor' with no arguments not found. 1 pattern(s) tried: ['regisApp/(?P[0-9]+)/profileEditor/\Z'] ) I've been trying some of the solution given to other people but with no luck. This is what I'm trying to pass in my home.html menu, is a page were the user can edit their profile <li><a href="{% url 'profileEditor' %}">Edit Profile</a></li> in my url.py I have this path path('<int:pk>/profile_Editor/', editProfilePage.as_view(), name="profileEditor"), And this is my views.py class class editProfilePage(generic.UpdateView): model = Profile template_name = "registration/profileEditor.html" fields = [ 'bio', 'profile_pic', 'website_url', 'facebook_url', 'instagram_url', 'github_url' ] success_url = reverse_lazy('home') I don't get it cuz I did the same process for some of the other pages and they are working fine -
Is there a way to get a function from a user in python with different python functions(ie. if with personalized format)
I'm making a django model that takes a string from the user and that string would be something like '(some var)+15+IF((condition),(passed),(not passed))' and I want it to solve all of this and probably add other personalized functions in the future so mainly for the if this would initially not work with eval from what I looked at. -
Is there a way to create an on_delete function that uses info from the specific model that holds a foreign key in django?
I'm doing one of the problems in the cs50 web course and I made a model for a listing on an auction site. For the sake of avoiding iterating through all bids on a listing, each listing has a Foreign Key called 'current_bid' that points to the latest bid. If the bid were to be deleted though, I want to be able to set the current bid to be the bid that came before it. I've tried several approaches but the one that felt closest to working was making a function local to the model class that gets the lastest bid and tried to make it work by having on_delete call set(last_bid). def last_bid(self): bids = self.bids last = None for bid in bids: if last is None: last = bid elif bid > last: last = bid return last current_bid = models.ForeignKey('Bid', null=True, blank=True, on_delete=SET(last_bid), related_name="running_bids") It doesn't work because calling last_bid this way doesn't give it the needed 'self' parameter. Is there really no way for me to get a reference to the specific listing when the bid it's holding gets deleted? -

I created a JSON dump from local SQLite3 base. python manage.py dumpdata > dump.json On the server, I enter into the shell and executed the commands from django.contrib.contenttypes.models import ContentType ContentType.objects.all().delete() quit() And when i'm try refill database python manage.py loaddata dump.json The console responds with this UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xff in position 0: invalid start byte I would be very grateful if you could explain to me how to fix the problem. -
scrollHeight yielding inconsistent results
I came with an idea to use top-bottom pagination. My plan was to use hidden class on the bottom paginator element if ListView fits into the user's viewport. Worked fine but accidentally I found out that once per +/- twenty times it just doesn't work. Using console log I noticed that scrollHeight is yielding inconsistent results, viewportHeight on the other hand works like a charm every time.

AssertionError with assertIn; Django SafeString
I'm looking to understand why a string returned from a template's render_to_string method causes inconsistent testing when testing in a manner using self.assertIn() in the below TestCase.

Simulate CSRF attack in Django
I'm trying to get an understanding of how CSRF tokens work, currently my goal is to create a situation where the CSRF attack is possible. I'm hosting two Django apps locally on different ports. I access one by localhost:8000, the other by 127.0.0.1:5000 -- that ensures cookies are not shared between apps. There's an API view class ModifyDB(APIView): def post(self,request,format=None): if request.user.is_authenticated: return Response({'db modified'}) else: return Response({'you need to be authenticated'}) which shouldn't be accessed by unauthenticated users. The "malicious" site has a button that's supposed to trigger the attack when a user is logged on the target site: const Modify = () => { const onClick = async e => { e.preventDefault(); const instance = axios.create({ withCredentials: true, baseURL: 'http://localhost:8000', headers: { 'Accept': 'application/json', 'Content-Type': 'application/json', } }) const res = await instance.post('/api/modifydb'); return res.data } return ( <button class = 'btn' onClick = {onClick}> send request </button> ) } My authentication settings are as follows: REST_FRAMEWORK = { 'DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES': [ 'my_proj.settings.CsrfExemptSessionAuthentication', ], } where CsrfExemptSessionAuthentication is a custom class that disables csrf protection for my educational purposes: class CsrfExemptSessionAuthentication(SessionAuthentication): def enforce_csrf(self, request): return django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware is also disabled. Both CORS_ALLOW_ALL_ORIGINS and CORS_ALLOW_CREDENTIALS are set to true. My first … -
Django prefetch_related nested models

How can I fetch select_set on the first query so my serializer stop doing N queries for each object? Thank you so much for the help. -

In django how to generate a pdf file from django template maintaining the css style?

Why is the Middleware not processed on 404 page in Django?
So I've set up a path in my URL config: path( "kitten/", views.Kitten.as_view(), name="kitten", ), and a handler for missing URLs to the same view. handler404 = views.Kitten.as_view() I have some middleware which sets some context data: class CookieConsentMiddleware: def __init__(self, get_response): self.get_response = get_response def __call__(self, request): return self.get_response(request) def process_template_response(self, request, response): response.context_data["hasCookie"] = False return response and the view is very straightforward, class Kitten(TemplateView): template_name = "kitten.html" and the template prints the value of hasCookie. Visiting kitten/ correctly displays the value of hasCookie, but visiting a URL that doesn't exist, displays no value for hasCookie (whilst showing the right template) Adding debugging statements to the middleware, it becomes apparent that whilst process_view, process_template_response and process_exception are called for kitten/, none of these are called for URLs that don't exist, so no code is called to set the value of hasCookie. (__init__ is called regardless at app startup) Why does it not call the middleware when the URL is not found in the URLconf? -

How to get Django Admin pulldown list to just show the first "order by" item instead of the models.py default?
I am working on a website-builder program. When the user creates a new page, he has to choose a language (English, French, German for example). In Django Admin, in the language admin, the user can set an order. The language model contains: order = models.PositiveSmallIntegerField(default=0, verbose_name='display order') In the page parameters in Django Admin, the user has to choose a language. The page model contains: language = models.ForeignKey(Language, default=0, on_delete=models.PROTECT, verbose_name='language') The problem I have is that when the user creates a new page in Django Admin, language with PK 0 is always selected by default, even though it's not the first in the list. Language 0 is always pre-selected by Django, and the user is unable to set the default language of new pages by setting the display order of the languages. What I want is for Django to stop selecting the 2nd or 3rd item in the pulldown and have it default to the first item like a normal pulldown. I expect that the issue has to do with declaring that the default language is 0 in the page model, but I couldn't get it to work when I removed it. -

Django - What's the most secure way to pass parameters?
I'm working on an app that handles some sensitive information (API keys, etc). I have a simple question that I cannot find answers to. I have an encrypt function implemented as to not store the data in plain text. Should I be passing the variables back and forth to encrypt/decrypt between functions using return, or using request.session? They both tend to work, but what's more secure? Would it be more secure to call the function and handle the return since that would only process on the backend, or should I use session variables?
