Django app log messages not appearing in ECS/CloudWatch
Issue: I have a Django project deployed on ECS, and I am experiencing issues with my logging configuration. I am unable to see my custom logging messages in AWS CloudWatch Logs.

Nothing happens when transferring the registration form data to the database
I have a problem. I'm new to django. And so the error lies in the fact that nothing happens during the data transfer. The database is not being updated.

Django: overriding an abstract class with a generic relation limiting ContentType choices dynamically?
Following the current documentation https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.0/ref/contrib/contenttypes/#generic-relations I created a GenericReferModel which is an abstract class that define a generic relation towards one or more models. So far so good. Now I'd like to limit the ContentType choices exploiting the limit_choices_to attribute of models.ForeignKey. from typing import Any from django.contrib.contenttypes.fields import GenericForeignKey from django.contrib.contenttypes.models import ContentType from django.db import models from django.utils.translation import gettext_lazy as _ class GenericReferModel(models.Model): refer_type_choices: models.Q | dict[str, Any] | None = None # https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.0/ref/contrib/contenttypes/#generic-relations refer_type = models.ForeignKey( ContentType, on_delete=models.CASCADE, null=True, blank=True, limit_choices_to=refer_type_choices, verbose_name=_("refer type"), ) refer_id = models.PositiveIntegerField( _("refer id"), null=True, blank=True, ) refer = GenericForeignKey("refer_type", "refer_id") class Meta: abstract = True indexes = [ models.Index(fields=["refer_type", "refer_id"]), ] class Chat(GenericReferModel): nome = models.CharField(_("nome"), max_length=255) refer_type_choices = ( models.Q(app_label="core", model="studio") ) class Meta: verbose_name = _("chat") verbose_name_plural = _("chat") Apparently, overriding refer_type_choices does not work and it is always considered the abstract class default value. Is there a way to achieve a dynamic assignation of choices on each subclass? -
Django Custom admin template
I changed the admin site index template in Django like this: ``` admin.site.index_template = "admin/list-aprovals.html" ``` but how can i send my model datas this page or can i add a custom view for this url: ``` path('admin/', admin.site.urls), ``` So, I want to work with the existing django admin, but I only want to change the template and see my models in this special template, but with the original admin app. Is this possible in Django? How do I solve this problem? I tried custom app but i want to use original contrib admin. -
Return output of subprocess.popen() in webserver
I have a Webserver in Python using Django. I want to be able to kick of a long-running asynchronous subprocess and then have the client poll with a GET or POST and receive stdout as well as other information. For each iteration, the server will return the lines of stdout that it has so far. When the process ends, additional information will be returned. How can I save the instance of cmd=subprocess.popen() so that on subsequent GET/POST, it can make the appropriate calls (e.g. cmd.poll, cmd.stdout.readline(), etc) I've tried using Django's session manager, but the popen object is not Json serializable -
how to create a foreign key from the top model to bottom model?

I know maybe you say you just need to replace Model1 with Model2 and then create a foreign key, but sometimes like now I need to do something like this. -
how to use a variable where a keyword is expected
I have this problem with Django, but I feel is more of a python question: user_data = User.objects.filter(userid__startswith='Jeremy').values('mail','address') the above works and returns me exactly one line, as I know it should. This does not work: jeremy='Jeremy' user_data = User.objects.filter(userid__startswith=jeremy).values('mail','address') because manage.py runserver complains that my queryset is empty, when attempting to use it. I went all over the internet and found countless variations about using a dictionary, like this: my_kws={'userid__startswith':'Jeremy'} user_data = User.objects.filter(**mykws).values('mail','address') which do work, but when changed to: jeremy='Jeremy' my_kws={'userid__startswith':jeremy} user_data = User.objects.filter(**mykws).values('mail','address') absolutely do not. For me, at least, they end up exactly as before, with an empty querySet. Other uncountable answers propose to do: jeremy='Jeremy' user_data = User.objects.filter(f'userid__startswith={jeremy}').values('mail','address') with exactly the same result as before. FWIW, I am using python 3.10.12 -
Use external documentation for endpoint in Swagger UI
For a specific endpoint in our REST API I'd like to provide external documentation. There is an argument external_docs that can be passed to the extend_schema, but I haven't seen any example anywhere. I passed just the URL to the external documentation: @extend_schema_view( my_specific_endpoint=extend_schema( external_docs="https://documentation.example.com" ) ) class MySpecificViewSet(ModelViewSet): # class contents The clients should use the external documentation to get instructions on using it. This endpoint cannot be used through the Swagger UI and ideally the button "Try it out" should be disabled, if that's possible. Additionally, I'd like to disable the Parameters and the Response sections too. -
How to Detect Selected Text in a PDF Displayed in a Web Browser Using JavaScript or Python?
I'm working on a web application where users need to interact with PDF documents. Specifically, I need to detect the text that a user selects within a PDF displayed in their web browser. While I've managed to achieve this functionality with DOCX files,but converting PDFs to DOCX causes layout issues, with text alignment and images not being preserved properly. I've tried using PDF.js to render the PDF in the browser, but I'm struggling to detect the text that users select. My goal is to capture the selected text . Here are the main points I need help with: How can I detect the text that a user selects in a PDF rendered in the web browser? Is it possible to achieve this using JavaScript or Python, and if so, how? I've looked into PDF.js and tried some examples, but I haven't been successful in capturing the selected text. Any guidance, code snippets, or references to relevant libraries or techniques would be greatly appreciated. Additionally, I previously asked a similar question but using Python and django but haven't received any answers yet. Here is the link to that question for more context: text. -
Why am i facing "APPEND_SLASH" error in Django?

profile pictures for users in Django
Django has the built-in form called UserCreatioonForm for creating users. It has some fields like First and Last Name, Email, etc. But is it actually possible to have a field for uploading images which will be used as profile pictures for the user? I tried to read about additional input fields on djangoproject.com/docs, but it was rather cryptic. -
Watchtower CloudWatch Integration in Django Logs: No Log Streams Created

Django trying to encrypt fields when creating database and retrieveing them in decrypted form, how can I achieve this?
I am working on a django project where I need to store data inside some columns in an encrypted format and decrypt it on the fly whenever querying the said data. I have managed to encrypt the data while storing using cryptography-Fernet. def save(self, *args, **kwargs): if isinstance(self.first_name, str): self.first_name = cipher_suite.encrypt(self.first_name.encode()) super().save(*args, **kwargs) but When I am trying to retrieve the data, I am not able to fetch it in a decrypted format, As I do not know which method to override to achieve this result.

Issue accessing deeply nested attributes in Django Rest Framework serializer's validate method
I'm facing an issue while trying to access deeply nested attributes within the validate method of a Django Rest Framework serializer. Here's a simplified version of my serializer: from rest_framework import serializers from myapp.models import User class YourSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer): def validate(self, attrs): if hasattr(self.parent.instance, 'vehicle'): if hasattr(self.parent.instance.vehicle, 'engine'): if hasattr(self.parent.instance.vehicle.engine, 'fuel'): fuel_type = self.parent.instance.vehicle.engine.fuel.diesel if fuel_type: pass else: raise serializers.ValidationError("Fuel type is not available.") else: raise serializers.ValidationError("Fuel attribute is not available.") else: raise serializers.ValidationError("Engine attribute is not available.") else: raise serializers.ValidationError("Vehicle attribute is not available.") return attrs In the validate method, I'm attempting to access deeply nested attributes (vehicle.engine.fuel.diesel) of the parent instance. The thing is Model engine is created after user does ABC operations, and same applies for fuel, and diesel. When a load of people work on codebase its tough to identify if a these Models are created or not, normally getattr() and hasattr() are used, but clubbing these a lot makes code look messy. Tried static loots like mypy and pylint, they help to a certain extent but sometimes, TypeError, NoneType issues popup. Not sure how to fix these. Thank you for your help! -
Django can't find leaflet admin widget.html
I want to use LeafletGeoAdmin in the Admin pages. from leaflet.admin import LeafletGeoAdmin @admin.register(Marker) class MarkerAdmin(LeafletGeoAdmin): list_display = ("name", "location") When I try to add a marker, I get the error: TemplateDoesNotExist at /admin/my_app/marker/add/ Exception Value: leaflet/admin/widget.html Django tried loading these templates, in this order: django.template.loaders.filesystem.Loader: /home/me/my_map/.venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/django/forms/templates/leaflet/admin/widget.html (Source does not exist) django.template.loaders.app_directories.Loader: /home/me/my_map/my_map/templates/leaflet/admin/widget.html (Source does not exist) ... etc ... So it's looking for widget.html in paths of the form <many-places>/leaflet/admin/widget.html. None of the places it's looking in has it. By looking in .venv I did find it at /home/me/my_map/.venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/leaflet/templates/leaflet/admin/widget.html instead of at site-packages/django/forms/templates/, etc. So I added that templates/ location with both absolute and relative paths to settings.py TEMPLATES = [ { 'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates', 'DIRS': [os.path.join(BASE_DIR,'my_app','templates'), '/home/me/my_map/.venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/leaflet/templates/', os.path.join(BASE_DIR,'.venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/leaflet/templates/') ], ... But it still gives me the same error. why does django-leaflet not know the right path, and 2) why can't Django find it at the template path I specified? -
How can I serve React Frontend and Django Backend on IIS?
Background We have an application using React.js for the frontend and Django for the backend. We are attempting to deploy this application on an Azure virtual machine with IIS. Problems Encountered Backend Accessibility: We are uncertain whether our Django server is running and how to access it. Accessing localhost only serves the frontend, raising concerns about frontend-backend communication. 404 Error on Page Refresh: When navigating to authentication/sign-in from the frontend, it works fine. However, refreshing this page results in a HTTP Error 404.0 - Not Found error. It seems IIS is looking for a physical path that doesn't exist, as the build folder contains only static files (CSS, JS, etc.). Steps Taken Created a new instance on Azure: Installed Python and other necessary packages. Configured IIS: Enabled IIS features and other relevant features. Installed SSL certificate (.pfx) using MMC to enable HTTPS support. Moved project folder to C:\inetpub\wwwroot. Configured the Python path and FastCGI path in the web.config file, placed next to the project folder. Setup Virtual Directory: Moved the build folder (static build from React) to the virtual directory. Completed all configurations for mapping, FastCGI, and static file handling. Running the Application: The frontend is served successfully when accessed … -
