I am using this code on the model to check if users are uploading images that are too large code: def validate_image(image): file_size = image.file.size test = 'whoop' if file_size > settings.MAX_UPLOAD_SIZE: raise ValidationError("image too large") image = models.ImageField(default='default.jpg', upload_to=path_and_rename, validators=[validate_image]) however i want to include the name of the offending file if i use raise ValidationError(image) it displays the file name but if I try to include some text raise ValidationError(image, "is too large") it will only display whatever comes first either the variable or the string. How can i include both -
Accessing session variable based on variable in for loop django template
I have some products listed which can be in a cart, this cart is stored in a session variable dictionary for which the key is the product id and the value is some information about the quantity and stuff. I want to add the option to view (on the products page) how many of that product are in your cart. I know I can access session variables in a django template like this: {{ request.session.cart.2323.quantity }} Problem is, the key (2323 in this case) is a variable which depends on a for loop: {% for prod in products %} <p>{{ request.session.cart[prod.name].quantity }}</p> {% endfor %} But implementing it like that unfortunately is not possible. Is there any way in which this would be possible or would I have to change the way my cart works? -
Django queryset for user
models.py(shrunk to things that matter) class Messages(models.Model): sender = models.ForeignKey(Profile,related_name='sender',on_delete=models.CASCADE) receiver = models.ForeignKey(Profile,related_name='receiver',on_delete=models.CASCADE) forms.py class MessageForm(forms.ModelForm): subject = forms.CharField(max_length=100, required=False, help_text='Optional.') text = forms.CharField(max_length=4096, required=True, help_text='Required.') class Meta: model = Messages fields = ('receiver','subject','text',) I have a dropdown that shows all users that were made I would like to filter it based off some fields like is_active to showcase only users that are authenticated and more like this so I would like to override I think it's receiver queryset. def index(request): sendMessageForm = MessageForm() if is_staff: if is_active: else: What my current form displays. <select name="receiver" required="" id="id_receiver"> <option value="" selected="">---------</option> <option value="39">1</option> <option value="40">2</option> <option value="41">3</option> <option value="42">4</option> </select> -
Django migrate error: formisoformat argument must be string
I would really need help to understand this error I get in Django that suddenly appeared after I added a bunch of objects to a models.Model class. This error persists even when I comment out all the new objects that might have provoked the error. This error is a bunch of Tracebacks and at last it tells that there is a "TypeError: fromisoformat: argument must be str " in this line: return datetime.date.fromisoformat(value) in dateparse.py file. I've been looking for a solution for a few days now but can't seem to find any, I don't fully understand the functioning of django yet so it would be really great if anyone could tell me how to get through this. Thanks for your time. -
Django Ajax Reorder Not Updating the Field in Database
I'm building a list of students by each class in the grade. I have a folder full of profile pictures for students downloaded into my img folder and a column within my model that maps the details (name, class, age, etc.) to the image name. How do I tell my table to bring in the appropriate img for each student? Below I have my code working to use a single image as a constant (e.g. student1's picture shows up for everyone). list.html: <table class="table table-hover" id="table-ajax"> <thead class="thead-light"> <tr> {% comment %} <th></th> {% endcomment %} <th style="width: 50px; text-align: center;"></th> <th>{{ object_list|verbose_name:'field:name' }}</th> <th>{{ object_list|verbose_name:'field:hometown' }}</th> <th>{{ object_list|verbose_name:'field:birthday' }}</th> <th>{{ object_list|verbose_name:'field:race' }}</th> <th>{{ object_list|verbose_name:'field:rank' }}</th> <th style="width: 50px; text-align: center;">Pictures</th> <th style="width: 160px; text-align: center;">Actions</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody class="order" data-url="{% url 'cms:reorder' model_name %}"> {% include 'app/partials/pick_list_partial.html' %} </tbody> partial-list.html: {% for pick in object_list %} <tr id="{{ pick.pk }}"> <td><img src="{% static 'img/student1.jpg' %}" width="50" height="50"></td> <td><a href="{% url 'app:lead-list' pick.pk %}" title="Leads">{{ pick.name }}</a></td> <td>{{ pick.hometown }}</td> <td>{{ pick.birthday }}</td> <td>{{ pick.race }}</td> <td>{{ pick.rank }}</td> <td style="text-align: center;"> <a href="{% url 'app:file-list' pick.pk %}" class="btn btn-outline-success btn-sm border-0" title="Files"> <i class="fa fa-copy"></i></a></td> <td style="text-align: center;"> <a … -
How do you connect Django to an existing Microsoft SQL Server DB stored on Azure?
I have setup a Django API connected to a React frontend. I'm attempting to connect the Django API to an already existing mssql database on Azure. I've installed pyodbc, djagno-pyodbc-azure, and mssql-django. In my settings.py I have the data: DATABASES = { 'default': { 'ENGINE': 'mssql', 'NAME': 'DBNAME', 'USER': 'USERNAME', 'PASSWORD': 'PW', 'HOST' : 'tcp:dbname.database.windows.net', 'PORT': '1442', 'OPTIONS': { 'driver': 'ODBC Driver 13 for SQL Server', } }, } I've tried removing "tcp:" from host, I've tried "sql_server.pyodbc" as the ENGINE. I installed a few different other packages. Whenever I run "python manage.py inspectdb > models.py" to import the models of the existing database I either get an empty models.py file or an error "django.db.utils.Error: ('01000'...". Feel a bit stuck and was wondering if anyone had some guidance. -
Connect Django Postgres to AWS RDS over SSL
I'm digging into Django and thought it would be a nice exercise to connect to an AWS RDS database over SSL, but I can't quite figure out how to provide the SSL-cert from AWS to the database config. I've downloaded the global-bundle.pem from https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/UsingWithRDS.SSL.html. Now in the Django source code, it seems you can pass these parameters to DATABASES: DATABASES = { 'default': { ... 'OPTIONS': { 'sslmode': 'verify-ca', 'sslrootcert': 'root.crt', 'sslcert': 'client.crt', 'sslkey': 'client.key', }, } } My question is, how do I convert/pass the certificate from AWS? -
Django project - database table in cache
I have a Django(python) project running on a digitalocean.com droplet. Because the configurations options are limited I have an excess of free memory. I'm thinking about using that available memory, and load some database tables in memory. I already have a Redis server caching some views. Is it possible to cache a database whole table? How?

How to change gmail contact name in Django emails
I am trying to change my gmail contact name that is sent from Django. Currently, when I send an email, it shows david as the sender when it is from david@mycompany.com.

Authenticate several apps with same Oauth2 provider using one callback url
I currently have a chrome extension which authorizes with an Oauth2 provider and then authenticates with my django rest framework backend using allauth. I want to add two new apps to the same backend; a iOS app and an Android app. They shall both use the same Oauth2 provider. Currently the Oauth provider has stopped the possibility to add new apps, which means I only have the possibility of ONE callback url, which is currently used by the Chrome extension. Is there a way of designing the auth flow to send redirect and callback to the backend for all three (using just one callback url), and somehow be able to send my backends api token back to the apps? -

Django Rest Framework Return on User's Resources in Nested Serializer
I am trying to return just the user's resources in a nested serializer response. My current response looks like this: { "id": 5174, "resourceName": "name here", "moreInformation": [ { "id": 15924, "infoName": "stuff here", "infoDetails": [ { "id": 51, "createdBy": 1, "detail": "detail here", "moreInformation": 15924 }, { "id": 52, "createdBy": 3, "detail": "detail here", "moreInformation": 15924 } ] } ] } I'm trying to make it to where when the user GETs the ResourceName endpoint, that the infoDetails only shows the infoDetails that were createdBy that user. The current response returns all of the infoDetails regardless of the createdBy field. I'm able to only return the infoDetail if the current user's id matches the createdBy id on the ListInfoDetails view, but not on the DetailResourceName view.

Is there a way to seperate progammatic access to a Django Rest API from React access and what are the alternatives?
This is obviously a design question, and probably me overthinking. I was asked once how to generate API Keys and I explained the process of retrieving tokens( DjangoRest -> React) to which I was responded with "Thats for logging in/authentication, how would you implement 'Generate API key'". If my application is DjangoREST + React, this means my entire application is exposed as RESTful. Is there even a way to control the "frontend" access over being programmatically accessible, since "CLI/Scripting" users can just hit the login endpoint programmatically anyway? It seems like the only thing that can be done here with a React Front and DjangoREST backend is to limit the calls to each of the routes, but control "browser-based" requests vs cli-based requests are nearly impossible. (Unless I blacklist/whitelist by user agent but that seems highly unfeasble) What I am concluding is that the only way to "control" programmatic access effectively in Django is not to use a React Frontend, and then create separate URLs for the api. But then in this case, I am confused on the neccesity of client_IDs and client_secrets (as I have seen on other sites that offer an API), because if I simply blacklist a …
