How to set permissions for a group automatically?
When creating the Django model, Django will automatically create permissions for CRUD operations. Provided that user groups have been created earlier, the question arises: how to add the necessary permissions for a group automatically? At the moment, I create data migrations in which I add the necessary permissions for the group "manually". Maybe there is a way to do this without data migration? -
Populate Related Field Based on Query Parameter
I'm trying to implement a way to show full details of a related field, rather than just the ID or a specific field, when it is specified in a query parameter, e.g http://api_url/courses?populate="author" I can currently show full details of the field by using a nested serializer, like so, or show just the UUID (or any other field) using a SlugRelatedField. class CourseSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer): author = UserSerializer() class Meta: model = Course fields = "__all__" Any help is much appreciated. -
django-csp -- Why I am getting CSP violation error even if nonce is set up?
I am getting error in my browser as Refused to execute inline script because it violates the following Content Security Policy directive: "script-src-elem 'self' 'self' https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/". Either the 'unsafe-inline' keyword, a hash ('sha256-lcRjLlr3aCdbAn5uZatA01Jri58xjpKG86fd61W4h9Y='), or a nonce ('nonce-...') is required to enable inline execution. I am using django-csp to set up Content Security Policy. In my settings.py, I have included the following. MIDDLEWARE = [ # added middleware 'csp.middleware.CSPMiddleware', ... ] CSP_DEFAULT_SRC = ["'self'", ] CSP_INCLUDE_NONCE_IN = ['script-src'] I have written the JavaScript as - <script nonce="{{ request.csp_nonce }}"> do_something() </script> Please help me to resolve the issue. -
Dynamically prevent opening a page if someone else is actively using it
I am using Django for backend, and normal HTML/CSS/JavaScript for frontend without any interactive UI libraries like React. Current Approach: I have a page that contains a form to edit instance X as an example. If someone opens this page for editing, I am adding a value in my database that this instance is locked by this editor. After he finalizes editing, he should press "save" or "close" button to unlock it for others. Problem: If the editor didn't save and forgot to "close", the instance will remain locked till he come back and close it. Required Approach: But, I want to dynamically prevent the others to open it because someone is actively editing X now. By "actively" word, I mean that this user is using the page now, and the page tab is active in his browser. So, if he just closes the tab or browser, or leaves the tab inactive for maybe 5 minutes, I want to unlock the instance for editing. -

How to identify Oracle instantClient in a Django project?
I try to link an external Oracle database on which I have read-only privileges to my Django project and then only send it raw SQL queries. So I first created a second table in my project settings (because I still need the default database) settings.py DATABASES = { 'default': { 'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3', 'NAME': BASE_DIR / 'db.sqlite3', }, 'oracleDB':{ 'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.oracle', 'NAME': 'my_dsn', 'USER': 'my_user', 'PASSWORD': 'my_password', 'HOST': 'my_host', 'PORT': 'my_port', 'OPTIONS':{ 'threaded':True } } Then in my view I call it this way (seen on a forum): views.py from django.db import connections def my_function(request): with connections['oracleDB'].cursor() as cur: cur.execute( "SOME SQL QUERY") print(cur.fetchall()) And I get this error DPI-1047: Cannot locate a 64-bit Oracle Client library: “C: ProgramData Oracle12c product 12.1.0 client_1 bin oci.dll is not the correct architecture”. See cx_Oracle 8 Installation — cx_Oracle 8.3.0 documentation for help I know that I need the Oracle instantclient to connect, I used to use it in connection with the cx_Oracle package and it worked well (so i'm certain the version is good). Except that now I connect with Django and its settings where I can’t specify the path to my Oracle instantclient. Do you have any idea how to enable Django … -
Repeating record using for loop in database
in this code am trying to add the student record in the attendance database whenever the student image is captured by the webcam so name = image name stored adding that the image name is the same as the studentid stored in Student entity, whenever the detected face name exist in Name = the list of images name then it will add the student info to the attendance database. The code just works fine but it keeps repeating the records how can I limit it to add the record just once and not repeating it. def markattendance(name): for n in Names: if name in Names: # print(name, "Exist") # fitches the information related to the detected name attend = Student.objects.filter(student_id=name).values('student_id', 'student_fname', 'student_lname','fk_course_id_id') #print(attend) # filter returns a queryset. A queryset isn't a single object, it's a group of objects so it doesn't make sense # to call save() on a queryset. Instead you save each individual object IN the queryset: for object in attend: #print(object) if object.get('student_id') not in attend: # INSERT SQL statement behind the scenes. Django doesn’t hit the database until you explicitly call save(). reg = Attendance(student_id=object.get('student_id'), student_fname=object.get('student_fname'), student_lname=object.get('student_lname'), course_id=object.get('fk_course_id_id')) # print(reg) reg.save() else: pass -

How to customize field representation in django drf AutoSchema?
I am new to using Django drf schema generation. I installed and configured the schema according to the documentation. It generates the OpenAPI schema. Now I want to customize the choice field representation and add some description in front of each field. Current schema is like below: condition: enum: - used - new - like new type: string nullable: true I want the following: condition: enum: - used: "for used items" - new: "for new items" - like: new " brand new items" type: string nullable: true In the documentation I could find little on how to customize the AutoSchema class but that was above my knowledge. I would be grateful if someone can help me on how can I override the schema methods to represent customize fields? -
Issue with circular import in Django tutorials?

extra query after logging in to the site (django3.2)
Why after logging in to the site, an extra query is taken on all pages to get that user information? Is this related to Django it self? Or can this extra query be deleted and optimized?

Why submit didn't work in my jquery script?
My html and script is like below. It's using Django and it's a Django template but I think this is a issue not related to Django.

I can saw the alert() window, but I didn't see the post request from the server side. I have a similar snippet in another place of my project and that works, but this don't.

Best way to change the primary key for a table in an existing project?
I have an existing Django project with some important data in the database. But I would like to change the primary key of the main table. How should I do it? (I am new to Django, so any newbie advice would be appreciated). I can do it the very manual way of: creating a new table as I wanted it to be create a python script importing models library and my specific models create a loop to copy all the entries from the old model into the new do the same with linked models that rely on the old primary key (updating the relation through the new primary key) delete old tables rename new updated tables to match old tables Is my approach correct? or is there a simpler way? Some questions: I know I can create custom "migration files" but I feel like doing it manually with Django creating the migration files would be easier. is that fine? would old connection (relying on unchanged keys) tables automatically recognize the new renamed table? or will something break if I delete the old table? if doing the above, should I remove the "on delete cascade" to avoid linked entries being deleted … -
