Django template if inside a for loop with list indexing
I want to fetch the values of a list using indexes of a list. I have a list in views.py views.py def home(request): my_list=[("xy","abc","abcd"),("abcd","abc","xy")] context={ "list"=my_list} return render(request, 'index.html',context) index.html {% for id in list%} {% if id.1 =='abc' %} {{id.0}}="Core user" {{id.0}} {% else %} {{id.0}} {% endif %} {% endfor %} So if the condition satisfies, the new values of the list would be [("xy","Core user","abcd"),("abcd","Core user","xy")] I am getting syntax errors for this. Please let me know what am I doing wrong and how to resolve this? -

If fetch returns object with multiple attributes (ie. object.exists and object.message) how can I use them after fetch is done?
After fetch returns object it logs it perfectly and I can see all attributes in the object. I can even change the html in the page using all the attributes. login_button=document.getElementById('submit-login'); login_form=document.getElementById('login-form'); message=document.getElementById('message'); login_button.addEventListener('click',async (e)=> { e.preventDefault(); form=new FormData(login_form); let response = await fetch('/',{ method:'POST', body: form, headers:{ 'X-CSRFToken':document.cookie, // 'X-Requested-With': 'XMLHttpRequest', }, }); let processed_response=await response.json(); console.log(processed_response); if (processed_response.exists){ console.log('success'); message.classList.remove('failure'); message.classList.add('success'); } else{ message.classList.remove('success'); message.classList.add('failure'); } message.firstElementChild.innerHTML=processed_response.message; setTimeout((processed_response) => { window.location=processed_response.next; },1000); }); However, when I try using the setTimeout function it logs the following: Uncaught TypeError: can't access property "next", processed_response is undefined And well I'm not able to use the attribute from the object in the setTimeout function. Is there something I'm missing. This is my first time dealing with async and fetch/promises so sorry for any low quality code here. Thanks in advance. -

how to disable User fields to show my custom form in my template?
I have a problem with a form. It is a form that works like an "edit profile". I just want to style it, I don't like how it looks if I just put {{ form }} in my template, I'm using widget_tweaks to give it a better look. The problem is that when I use widget_tweaks and click the "Save" button, it doesn't work. But if I use the unstyled form {{ form }} instead, it does edit the fields. I'm thinking that when rendering the fields with widget_tweaks I'm not including the default User fields like: password, last login, etc. because I don't need them, I think that is influencing my form not working. Do you have any idea how to disable the default User fields and can I use the widget_tweaks or is it better to use forms.py? models.py COUNTRIES=( ('EUA', ('EUA')), ('Canada', ('Canada')), ('Other', ('Other')), ) class CustomUser(AbstractUser): phone1=models.IntegerField(default=0) phone2=models.IntegerField(default=0) fax=models.IntegerField(default=0) website=models.CharField(max_length=100,default=0) socialMedia1=models.CharField(max_length=100,default=0) socialMedia2=models.CharField(max_length=100,default=0) socialMedia3 = models.CharField(max_length=100,default=0) alternativeContact=models.CharField(max_length=100,default=0) country = models.CharField(max_length=100, default=0,choices=COUNTRIES) address=models.CharField(max_length=100, default=0) city=models.CharField(max_length=100,default=0) state=models.CharField(max_length=100,default=0) zip=models.CharField(max_length=10,default=0) tax_percentage=models.IntegerField(default=0) def __str__(self): return self.phone1 admin.py # Register your models here. class CustomUserAdmin(UserAdmin): add_form = UserCreationForm form=UserChangeForm model=CustomUser list_display = ['pk','email','username','first_name','last_name'] add_fieldsets = UserAdmin.add_fieldsets+( (None,{'fields':('email','first_name','last_name','image','location','phone1','phone2','fax','website', 'socialMedia1','socialMedia2','socialMedia3','alternativeContact','country','address', 'city','state','zip','tax_percentage')}), ) fieldsets = … -

Django deployment error "usage: gunicorn [OPTIONS] [APP_MODULE] gunicorn: error: unrecognized arguments: "

Path finding between models in Django
I am trying to make a graph like structure in django using models to create paths between model instances. But I am no quite sure about how to do that automatically. The basic structure of my models is something like this: class Location(TimeStampedModel): name = models.Charfield() level = models.SmallPositiveIntegerField() previous_locations = models.ForeignKey('self') next_locations = models.ForeignKey('self') related_locations = models.ForeignKey('self') That previous_locations, next_locations and related_locations were my first approach in order to get some kind of tree structure, but they are pretty useless when there are several locations with the same level. For example, location_1 (with level = 1) can go to location_2 and location_3 (both with level = 2) and then both can go to location_4 (with level = 4). Maybe changing the foreign key to a many to many relation can solve this, but it's still not clear to my how to create the paths. For the paths, I made the following model: class Path(TimeStampedModel): name = models.Charfield() locations = models.ManyToManyField(Locations) Summarizing, the goal is select two locations and automatically create the shortest path or a group of paths (as maybe 2 paths require the same amount of steps). However, I don't know how to doit with the relations I … -

How to set cookies using GraphQLTestCase
I have dug far and deep but no working solution yet, based on some things I read from a thread somewhere, it seems you have to prefix headers with HTTP_ e.g. HTTP_AUTHORIZATION ends up being the Authorization header, based on that my current attempt is: class TestImpersonatation(LogonUserMixin, GraphQLTestCase): : def test_...(self): response = self.query(''' ...mutation here... ''', headers = { "HTTP_AUTHORIZATION": f"JWT {self.token}", "HTTP_SET_COOKIE": f"my-jwt-token={self.token}" }, variables={ ...vars... } ) but alas, every time I get to my breakpoint there is only ever one cookie set, a csrf token. I am stumped but still trying... next it to se if a Client() instance can be passed in to work some magic instead of relying on the one created inside. -
how to be able to add records using Http Methods on django
I'm creating a Django rest API authentication system and I want to return data in JSON format,the main purpose of this question is : I want to add or delete users only by adding fields on json format , not in the inputs that've created : this is my views.py : # Rendering plant data as json : def plant_json(request): data=list(new_Plant.objects.values()) return JsonResponse(data,safe=False) this is my output ( don't mind the values ) : [{"id": 5, "name": "dqsd", "adress": "sdq", "type": "PV", "location": "dqd", "list_gateway": "gggdds", "status": "etude"}, {"id": 6, "name": "fdsfds", "adress": "fsdfds", "type": "PV", "location": "fdsfds", "list_gateway": "fdsfs", "status": "etude"}, {"id": 7, "name": "sdqdssd", "adress": "dsdsq", "type": "HYBRID", "location": "dqsdqs", "list_gateway": "dsdqss", "status": "online"}] normally in order to add a new plant I've created a HTML template that has inputs where the user can add a plant , but what I want is that I can add a plant only by adding fields directly using json format ( using postman for example ) no need for the inputs.

Django/Pandas/Website - Querying a pandas dataframe instead of database, is it possible?
My table has some advanced features and queries that Pandas can accomplish but a database can't, so I am wondering about the implications of using a pandas dataframe on the server as a read-only database. The setup would be the basetable being a big pandas dataframe (400mb) on the webserver, and users submit GET requests that filter it in unique ways in order to make charts off of the data. The question is are there serious costs and/or bottlenecks when many users query a webservers dataframe? I know databases are meant to serve many people concurrently, but is this a problem for my case? Further, after a user filters the table, I imagine this filtered table is temporarily saved during their session....could this lead to memory requirements of the webserver gettings wildly out of hand? (Ex: 1000 users x 200MB avg table size = 200GB of memory demanded) Any explanation and tips would be appreciated! -

How to create a Django queryset based on items from another
I'm using Django 2.2.28 and Python 3.7.7 in a legacy application. I have a display page that displays People based on a class PeopleQuerySet(models.QuerySet) that's filtered and paginated. This works, but I'd like to know if it's possible to do something like this: new_people_queryset = PeopleQuerySet() for person in existing_queryset.iterator(): if some_condition: new_people_queryset.add(person) Is there a way to do what I'm implying above; create an empty PeopleQuerySet() object and then insert people into it from a queryset that's the result of filtering? The some_condition thing is some arbitrary Python logic I'm using for illustration purposes here. Any ideas, pointers, etc. would be greatly appreciated. -

I would like to use migrations to do this. how? for now the docker entrypoint is python manage.py wait_for_db python manage.py makemigrations API python manage.py migrate # python import_csv.py uwsgi --socket :9000 --workers 4 --master --enable-threads --module myapi.wsgi
