Where do I store user personal information
I am creating an application in which a user registers with a username, email, and password. This data is stored in one table. But then the user enters profile information such as photo, bio, activity and such. Do I store this data in the same table as the username, email, and password? Or do I create another table in which I link those in some way? -
Celery instantly kill running task

As broker i use rabbit i stuck with task revoking(i need just instantly kill task) i use this code for that(but it not works) app.control.revoke(started_task.id, terminate=True, signal='SIGKILL') my task looks like that def _grind(): count = 1 while True: count += 1 print(count) # here are many parrallel aihttp requests and database writes... @shared_task(bind=True) def grind(self): asyncio.run(_grind()) and i need is_running state to provide him to my frontend my vain tries... the idea is that when you click on the stop at the task entry, a signal is set to stop and while saving, I cause an exception that interrupts the execution of the task (but the save signal never works) class Task(models.Model): id = models.CharField(max_length=50, primary_key=True) type = models.CharField(max_length=20, choices=TaskType.choices) signal = models.CharField(max_length=20, choices=TaskSignal.choices, null=True, blank=True) user = models.ForeignKey(CustomUser, related_name='tasks', on_delete=CASCADE) @shared_task(bind=True) def grind(self): task_id = self.request.id def cancel_task(instance: Task, **kwargs): print('Never trigger') if instance.id == task_id and instance.signal == TaskSignal.STOP: post_save.disconnect(cancel_task, sender=Task) instance.delete() raise Ignore() post_save.connect(cancel_task, sender=Task) count = 1 while True: count += 1 print(count) # ---- on start-stop click def toggle_grind(user: … -
How to make a constructor through which the user can create a template by adding any field from the model to it, including nested fields?
I have 5 entities that are related to each other. I have successfully described the models and the relationships between them. Everything is good here. But they require a certain constructor from me, which assumes that the administrator can, in user mode (in the admin panel, or on any other page), change the appearance of the check that is printed for the client without changing the source code of the program (i.e. add or remove ticket fields). For example, a user can create 2 receipt templates - "regular" and "reduced". A "regular" check will include the name of the voyage, itinerary, carrier, departure_station and arrival_station, departure_date and arrival_date, place_number, etc., while "abbreviated" will only contain the name of the voyage, departure_date and place_number I will briefly describe the models here: class BusStation(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=64) city = models.CharField(max_length=32) region = models.CharField(max_length=32) class Carrier(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=64) inn_number = models.PositiveBigIntegerField(verbose_name='ИНН', unique=True) class Itinerary(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=64) number = models.CharField(max_length=64) departure_station = models.ForeignKey(BusStation, related_name='departure_busstations', on_delete=models.CASCADE) arrival_station = models.ForeignKey(BusStation, related_name='arrival_bus_stations', on_delete=models.CASCADE) class Voyage(models.Model): departure_date = models.DateTimeField() arrival_date = models.DateTimeField() itinerary = models.ForeignKey(Itinerary, related_name='itineraries', on_delete=models.CASCADE) bus_station_platform = models.PositiveIntegerField() class Ticket(models.Model): TYPE_TICKET = [ ('1', '1'), ('2', '2'), ] passengers_name = models.CharField(max_length=128) voyage = models.ForeignKey(Voyage, … -
having trouble installing django on centos 7
enter image description here been trying to install django on my venv on centos 7. I'm new to using centos and linux in general so i'm having trouble finding out what's causing these errors shown on the screenshot. If it's not clear on the picture I've also pasted it here below. Also, I'm not sure if having two versions of python is maybe causing this. I installed 3.6.8 using the package manager because i did not have an idea that that was the latest version available there so i downloaded 3.10.5 and installed it too. However on the error message that is showing, it seems like 3.6.8 is being mention. I can't understand.

How can I pass HTML data from Python to an already created HTML page for display?
I am working on a Django project and would like to take markdown texts, convert them to HTML, and then display them on the browser. I did some research and tried different ways, but none worked as I wanted. This is my code: Python: class HTMLFilter(HTMLParser): text = "" def handle_data(self, data): self.text += data def display_entry(request, entry): if util.get_entry(entry.capitalize()) != None: markdowner = Markdown() data = markdowner.convert(util.get_entry(entry.capitalize())) html = HTMLFilter() html.feed(data) body = html.text return render(request, "encyclopedia/display.html", { "title": entry, "body": body }) else: return render(request, "encyclopedia/error.html", { "entry": entry.capitalize() }) This is how the function (get_entry()) from the util module looks like: def get_entry(title): try: f = default_storage.open(f"entries/{title}.md") return f.read().decode("utf-8") except FileNotFoundError: return None I use the python-markdown2 package to convert markdown language to HTML and it works perfectly. Below is an example of the text that was converted into HTML. <h1>Django</h1> <p>Django is a web framework written using <a href="/wiki/Python">Python</a> that allows for the design of web applications that generate <a href="/wiki/HTML">HTML</a> dynamically.</p> My biggest challenge is displaying this text as normal HTML to the browser.

Django Admin One-To-Many-To-One (Site->Product->Price) Relationship
I'm developing a web app for fun and the goal is to use Django Admin and only Django Admin, without any custom templates (yet). I'm unable to figure out how I should structure my models.py and admin.py files, where what I'm trying to do is: There are many items and many departments: Each item can only belong to one department and each department can have several items. This currently works. Now, what I can't seem to figure out is: There are many sites. Each site can have many items, but the PRICE of each item at each site can be different. For example: Site #123 can have a can of coke for $1.00 Site #124 can also have a can of coke, but at a price of $0.95 Site #123 can have a bag of chips for $1.50 Site #124 can also have a bag of chips, but at a price of $1.95 etc... How do I establish this relationship in Django models.py/admin.py? Also, how could I edit the price using the inline (screenshot below)? In other words, how could the price be shown to the right of the description? Thanks in advance Current Code: admin.py: from django.contrib import admin … -
Django Project Multitenancy Structure
I would like to develop a saas structure made on django. I have the virtual env installed, also the project created. I would need to find a video or help of some how on knowing how to set up the structure for a SAAS CRM System. Basically the structure would be: SUPERADMIN ROLE WITH PERMISSIONS Superadmin (ME) Superadmin Team ( MY TEAM) ADMIN (CLIENT) TEAM MEMBER ( CLIENT TEAM) Also since there are many permissions to define it would be perfect if superadmin can manage the users, roles, profiles and create new ones and delete them. Superadmin would be able to check boxes and uncheck boxes that allow users permissions. Hope someone can help! Thank you -
How can i get actual path of the docx file uploaded to the database using django models?
I am developing a simple web application using django that can take three .docx files containing tables and merge those tables in a single file and return that file to user in downloadable form. I used python-docx library for docx file processing. All three files are uploaded successfully without having any issue but the problem arises when i try to open those document files using doc.Document(file path) constructor of docx library. But the problem is that doc.Document() can't open the word file and it shows error like docx.opc.exceptions.PackageNotFoundError: Package not found at '/media/documents/word/SS_SMS39_CE3_InQfp7c.docx' while it clearly shows the path and while checking on the /media/documents... i can clearly locate that file. I tried a lot on searching about this issue went through docx documentation and even django's fileStorage documentations. But i cannot solve this problem. If you could help me figure out this issue, i will be grateful.

DJ-Stripe metadata not attaching to product
I am following this guide: https://www.saaspegasus.com/guides/django-stripe-integrate/#contents I get to "Adding metadata to your Stripe objects" and am told to create a metadata.py file. It doesn't tell me where to import @dataclass and List from so I had to guess. The issue is that, moving forward from this point in the guide, the metadata does not print to my template but I can retrieve product information.

Where to add udp socket initialization in django project
I am a newbie to python django framework. Currently i am working on a django project which listens to udp messages and act accordingly. Initially i initialized the socket and starts a thread to receives the messages on that socket in one of the views.py where it handles the request from URL. Now i have to make these initialization and starting the thread when the server is up. Which is the ideal place to put this piece of code ? I tried out so many places, i am facing an issue here. Whereever i put "python manage.py makemigrations" executes this code and gets stuck in receiveing the messages. I even tried in ready() method overridden in apps.py. This method also gets executed with makemigrations. Is there any way i can bypass makemigrations and initialze the sockets only during runserver ? -

Want to design a promotion model in Django
Brand partner creates a plan a. Creates a plan in the database with planID, planName, amountOptions and tenureOptions, benefitPercentage (for example: 10), benefitType (cashback/extraVoucher) and any other attributes needed.

Filtering data using age group in django

In my forms.py file, I changed the class for customers from; class CustomerSignUpForm(UserCreationForm): first_name = forms.CharField(required=True) last_name = forms.CharField(required=True) email_address = forms.EmailField(required=True) membership_tier = forms.CharField(required=True) class Meta(UserCreationForm.Meta): model = User @transaction.atomic def data_save(self): user = super().save(commit=False) user.first_name = self.cleaned_data.get('first_name') user.last_name = self.cleaned_data.get('last_name') user.is_customer = True user.save() customer = Customer.objects.create(user=user) customer.email_address = self.cleaned_data.get('email_address') customer.membership_tier = self.cleaned_data.get('membership_tier') customer.save() return user to the following class CustomerSignUpForm(UserCreationForm): member_tiers = ( 'Basic', 'Intermediate', 'Beast' ) first_name = forms.CharField(required=True) last_name = forms.CharField(required=True) email_address = forms.EmailField(required=True) membership_tier = forms.CharField(choices = member_tiers, default = 'Basic', required=True) class Meta(UserCreationForm.Meta): model = User @transaction.atomic def data_save(self): user = super().save(commit=False) user.first_name = self.cleaned_data.get('first_name') user.last_name = self.cleaned_data.get('last_name') user.is_customer = True user.save() customer = Customer.objects.create(user=user) customer.email_address = self.cleaned_data.get('email_address') customer.membership_tier = self.cleaned_data.get('membership_tier') customer.save() return user And here is my customer class in my models.py as well if that will help, class Customer(models.Model): member_tiers = ( 'Basic', 'Intermediate', 'Beast' ) username = models.OneToOneField(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE, primary_key=True) email_address = models.EmailField(max_length=30) membership_tier = models.CharField(max_length = 30, choices = member_tiers, default = 'Basic') What my question boils down to is: …
