Format data to pass to Javascript chart
Sorry in advance for the confusing post. I have some questionnaires that are used to score a project across different areas, like marketing, costs etc. I'm trying to build a chart that shows the score of each project across each area. The format for the chart needs to be name: 'Project Name', data: [2,5,1,4,4,5,6,2] }], with each number being the score of each area. I've managed to get as far as collecting the score for each project for each area, but it duplicates the project name for each questionnaire. [projectName1, Questionnaire1, Score] [projectName1, Questionnaire2, Score] [projectName2, Questionnaire1, Score] ... I'm not sure of the approach I need to take: for project in all_projects: for q in questionnaires: print("getting ", q.title, "responses for", project.name, project.id) if ProjectQuestionnaireResponse.objects.filter(project_name_id=project.id, questionnaire_id = q.id).exists(): q_response = ProjectQuestionnaireResponse.objects.get(project_name_id=project.id, questionnaire_id = q.id) q_answered = ProjectQuestionnaireAnswer.objects.filter(response = q_response, answer__isnull=False).count() if q_answered > 1: q_count = (100 / ProjectQuestionnaireQuestion.objects.filter(questionnaire_id = q.id).count() * q_answered) else: q_count = 0 q_rounded = (5 * round(q_count / 5)) # Scoring Calculator # # Get Questionnaire Range total_questions =ProjectQuestionnaireQuestion.objects.filter(questionnaire_id = q.id).count() score_range = (4 * total_questions) green = 2 red = -2 green_answer_value = (ProjectQuestionnaireAnswer.objects.filter(response = q_response,answer__choice_value="Green").count() * green) red_answer_value = (ProjectQuestionnaireAnswer.objects.filter(response = q_response,answer__choice_value="Red").count() … -
Can you load data from database into Bootstrap modal using Python?
I have a Django project where you can do CRUD operations. I am trying to make it so that when someone tries to edit, a modal will pop up with the data of x or y. I have a strong python background so I'm trying to do this in python. I tried doing it in javascript but I don't know where to start. Any help would be appreciated. -
Get_or_create or form validation then create?
I know this is a somewhat common thing to do but I'm struggling to grasp how to make it work from examples. I want to have a form where the user inputs an object ID (similar to an ISBN for a book). I want to check if that object exists in the db, if not, I want to create the entry based on some info I'll pull from a script using that ID. It seems like I could go two ways. I could use get_or_create, or I could do this with the cleaned data in the form and then I haven't been able to make either work but I think I have some basic misunderstanding of how they work. What is the best way of going forward? -

Django 4.0.3 and mssql-django 1.1.2 will not connect to SQL Server Express 2019
I have been going by this tutorial for mssql-django https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/samples/azure-samples/mssql-django-samples/mssql-django-samples/ My setup is Django 4.0.3 and mssql-django 1.1.2 will not connect to SQL Server Express 2019 on Windows 10, with the SQL Server Express 2019 running locally. I have searched both GitHub and Stack Overflow for examples of mssql-django configurations, but not much is turning up. I am not sure what I am doing wrong. The main things I have been trying is betting on the NAME, USER or HOST parameter being incorrect, as the others seem to be correct. Should NAME be: avxdb or mxlaptop\\avxdb or something else? Should USER be: pyadmin@mxlaptop or just pyadmin? Should HOST be: mxlaptop\SQLEXPRESS, mxlaptop\ss2019, mxlaptop, or 127.0.0.1? DATABASES = { 'default': { "ENGINE": "mssql", "NAME": "avxdb", "USER": "pyadmin@mxlaptop", "PASSWORD": "Python", "HOST": "mxlaptop\SQLEXPRESS", "PORT": "1433", "OPTIONS": {"driver": "ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server", }, } } I have a normal Python script that can connect to the database via pyodbc: connection = pyodbc.connect('DRIVER={ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server};' 'SERVER=mxlaptop;' 'DATABASE=avxdb;' 'UID=pyadmin;' 'PWD=Python;') -
Django user updates profile picture and the other users receive this changes too
I created a form so that every user can update its profile. What it's happening is that when a user changes the profile picture of its account, also it changes the profile picture of the other users and of course, I don't want that. This is my code: signals.py def create_user_profile(sender, instance, created, **kwargs): if created: profile = Profile(user=instance) profile.save() post_save.connect(create_user_profile, sender=User, dispatch_uid="profilecreation-signal") forms.py class ProfileForm(forms.ModelForm): class Meta: model = Profile fields = [ "first_name", "last_name", "image", "description", "website" ] views.py def profile_page(request, username): form = ProfileForm(data=request.POST, files=request.FILES, instance=request.user.profile) if request.method == "POST": if form.is_valid(): form.save() return redirect(request.META['HTTP_REFERER']) context = { "profile_form": form, } return render(request, "profile.html", context) The profile_page view has username also as attribute because there is more code related to it. Could someone help me? Thanks! -
Django - Comment Xtd - implement title attribute in admin model
I am using the django-comments-xtd app to handle comments and replies. I want to replace the object id in the admin panel with the object title but I am struggling to do that. The code that is in models.py can be found here. I am not pasting it here because it is a long piece of code. Below is my "customized" XtdCommentsAdmin model: class XtdCommentsAdmin(CommentsAdmin): list_display = ('name', 'comment', 'content_type', 'object_pk', 'submit_date', 'is_public', 'is_removed', 'title') ... def title(self, obj): return obj.object_pk.title #what am I doing wrong here? I tried to return obj.title, obj.object_pk.title in my title attribute but I get this output <built-in method title of str object at 0x000001F3BC859120> I also tried to use lookup directly in list_display like object__title but the only thing I get is this: The value of 'list_display[3]' refers to 'object__title', which is not a callable, an attribute of 'XtdCommentsAdmin', or an attribute or method on 'django_comments_xtd.XtdComment'. Could you please tell me how to display the object title instead of the object id? -
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'text' PyTelegramBotAPI
I was creating a bot that measures the size of a rectangle using the pytelegrambotapi library. I created a database using Python django. Purpose: When a bot is used by more than one user, the bot retrieves the parameters entered by each user from the database and returns a response to them.

ProgrammingError at /user_booking not all arguments converted during bytes formatting
The idea is to display user's booking information like booking_name, package etc. I am fetching the data from database in my views.py like this. def user_booking(request): id = request.session['u_id'] booking_data = Booking.objects.raw('select * from booking WHERE id = %s',id) return render(request,'user_booking.html',{'view_data':booking_data}) Now in user_booking.html is displaying data. I have used a proper template to display data in tabular format. Problem is when some data is returned from data base it works perfect. When there is a query for which no data can be found the page breaks and shows "ProgrammingError at /user_booking not all arguments converted during bytes formatting" Instead of all the formatting I resorted to basic code which looks like this <html> {% for b in view_data %} {{b.b_name}} {% endfor %} </html> It gives me the name "ajay" as output and does not break the page, also note that record for ajay's ID is present in my database. Now if ID is changed and then I refresh the lage again it gives me error. What I am trying to do is if there is any data coming from the database then display it otherwise just display "no data here" msg. How do I achieve it? -

Is there a way to make a mock timezone for a Selenium test in Django?
In my selenium test below I'm trying to test my Analytics model. I'm using a mock of an Analytics model instance from class AnalyticsFactory. When I run this test everything works fine except I get an error for the timestamp field in the Analytics model. Note: I'm using timezone.now() for this. It seems like the time from when I run the test and when the time is assigned to the Analytics factory is slightly different. For example this is the error I'm getting: AssertionError: datetime.datetime(2022, 4, 8, 13, 3, 28, 153988, tzinfo=<UTC>) != datetime.datetime(2022, 4, 8, 13, 3, 28, 48016, tzinfo=<UTC>) in the error above 153988 and 48016 are different Is there a way I could set a 'fake' timezone object instead of using timezone.now()?
