Django: How separate the data inside the model based on the user
I want to make an attendance system that prevents each user to see the attendance that some users have taken. But in my case, the attendance that the other users take can be shown by every user. How can I prevent this part? These are my codes: Models.py class ClassAttendance(models.Model):Faculty_Name = models.CharField(max_length=200, null=True, blank=True)Student_ID = models.CharField(max_length=200, null=True, blank=True)firstname = models.CharField(max_length=200, null=True, blank=True)lastname = models.CharField(max_length=200, null=True, blank=True)date = models.DateField(auto_now_add = True, null = True)time = models.TimeField(auto_now_add=True, null = True)college = models.CharField(max_length=200, null=True, blank=True)course = models.CharField(max_length=200, null=True, blank=True)year = models.CharField(max_length=200, null = True)section = models.CharField(max_length=200, null = True)subject = models.CharField(max_length=200, null = True)status = models.CharField(max_length=200, null = True, default='Absent')def __str__(self): return str(self.Student_ID + "_" + str(self.lastname) + "_" + str(self.date)+ "_" + str(self.subject)) class Faculty(models.Model): user = models.OneToOneField(User, null = True, blank = True, on_delete= models.CASCADE) firstname = models.CharField(max_length=200, null=True, blank=True) lastname = models.CharField(max_length=200, null=True, blank=True) college = models.CharField(max_length=200, null=True, choices=COLLEGE) course = models.CharField(max_length=200, null=True, choices=COURSE) year = models.CharField(max_length=200, null=True, choices=YEAR) section = models.CharField(max_length=200, null=True, choices=SECTION) subject = models.CharField(max_length=200, null=True, choices=SUBJECT) def str(self):return str(self.firstname + " " + self.lastname) class Meta:verbose_name_plural = "Faculties" I expected that after the users take attendance, they are the ones that can see that information -
Django UpdateView with reverse foreign key
I am using UpdateView, which is very cool abstraction and makes it very easy to update existing Models. I however want to include into this reverse foreign keys (kinda similar to inline admins). There is also inlineformset_factory, which helps creating this kind of reverse foreign key formsets. Of course I can handle all this manually (modelform and then each formset). But I'd like to put all those forms together and abstract this functionality into a view so that I then only specify the model, fields (same as in UpdateView), but also those reverse foreign keys. Is there a view for this or do I have to create my own? Any kind of experience with this would be appreciated. -
How to parse the "src" of image tag in Django textfield?
So I have code in my HTML template like this <div class="blog-content"> {{post.text|safe|linebreaks}} <p><img src="{{ image_dict.1.url }}" alt=""></p> </div> This above renders the image fine in HTML. My view is like this def post_detail(request, slug): post = BlogPost.objects.get(slug=slug) images = post.images.all() image_dict = {} for image in images: image_dict[image.image_order] = image.image print(image.image) return render(request, 'blog/post_detail.html', { 'post': post, 'images': images, 'image_dict': image_dict, }) Basically I'm setting it up so that I can render the images via {{image_dict.image_order.url}} But I wanna render the images as per following to associate them with each paragraph of text like so Text in Django TextField However, while the code within the template evaluates to the image url, for example say for an image with order '1' <p><img src="{{ image_dict.1.url }}" alt=""></p> becomes <p><img src="/media/images/codewithlewis.png" alt=""></p> The exact same code I typed in django's textfield (as attached in above image) remains like <p><img src="{{ image_dict.1.url }}" alt=""></p> within HTML and nothing gets rendered of course. A screen shot of this: I'm fairly new to Django but I feel like I have tried everything. How might I go about fixing this? Thank you. -

Refresh html DIv in Django
i am trying to refresh an {%extends%} page since my base.html is getting message information from whatever is happening in the python backend, it only shows the message after i refresh my page and i want to refresh it every x seconds so the alerts will show without needing to refresh my entire page. <div id="Mydiv"> {% extends 'crodlUSDT/base.html'%} </div> <script> $(document).ready(function() { function refresh() { var div = $('#Mydiv'), divHtml = div.html(); div.html(divHtml); } setInterval(function() { refresh() }, 3000); //300000 is 5minutes in ms }) </script> this is what i've found online but tested a lot of different things but none are working, is this possible ? thanks -

Django Celery Beat - Runaway Process on Ubuntu
I have celerybeat running as a service on ubuntu. Generally speaking, everything works great. I have the same setup on numerous servers. Last night, I noticed the frequency at which a certain task was firing was doubled; seemingly out of the blue. In order to troubleshoot I did a few things: cleared the redis server + celery message queues restarted the celerybeat service restarted the redis-server service When those did not change the behavior, I tried: rebooting the server stopping the celerybeat service stopping the redis-server service Even after a reboot and having all the services stopped, the task is still being triggered! I have never encountered this kind of behavior before. How can the task continue to be triggered even without a messaging service? Any help or troubleshooting ideas here would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance. -

Unable to Dynamically Render Django images on templates
So I've been trying to get the images uploaded through admin interface to render on a template but for some odd reason it just wont render the images. It renders any other type of data but NOT IMAGES.

This one on the other hand, only renders the name of the objects on other properties but not the images -
Django model F expression divide by zero error when calculating dynamic running total and average
I am using Django 3.2 I am dynamically calculating field values for an item that can be rated. Here is a snippet of my code: self.ratings_count = F('ratings_count') + 1 self.ratings_total = F('ratings_total') + rating_value self.ratings_average = F('ratings_total') / F('ratings_count') self.last_rated = timezone.now() self.save() # Divide by zero error here (no records exist in Db) I could trivially get around this by not using F fields (as a kludge). My question is - how do I implement the desired behaviour, whilst using F expressions? -

Create @login_required like function for used form(Modelform). So that User can't access confidential url without login-by typing just url?
I know that I can use @login_required but it is only used when we store user in User But in my case I stored model in form So it is not working for me.

Using User object and AllAuth together in a Django application
My model has a User class subclassed from AbstractUser (so i am reusing all default fields of the abstractuser object). I have been using this for a while and then I thought of using all-auth django for extra functionality. We set it up and everything works as it should. However I have some confusions with the new tables these models are creating. I still have the original user table which was storing email, password and some other default information (form the Abstract user) I now have a few more account_ tables (from allauth). One of these tables, account_emailaddress also stores the email as information. Im a bit confused on why I need to store the email two times ? Once in the user table and another time in the account_emailaddress table. We can also this using a link from User to email address table (or from User model to allauth model somehow). -

Django session cookie is changed to "" and expiration date of 1970
I have a problem with the cookies of a session logged into a web with Django. The session is started correctly and when I send request with the session cookie, the server response overwrites the session cookie with "" and sets the expiration date to January 1, 1970. This is something that happens completely randomly. I have checked the database and the session is stored. If I change the cookie that it gives me for the one that the login should have, it is done correctly. Does anyone know what could be happening? Thank you very much in advance. -
