How to remove members of a Team Django Python
I have teams and I have members (players). The Team owner is inviting a player to his team by email. And player is accepting invitation to join team. After acceptation they become a member of a invitated team. Now what I want to do is to make it possible for player to leave the team and also give possibility for the team owner remove player from their team. Since I am new with Django I can't achieve it yet. I've tried to create delete_member.html and function delete_member in Views first for Team owner to remove Its member but I don't see anything in that page. What Am I doing wrong?

Can't access object primary key after creation
I did some primary key changes in my Django project which resulted in cleaning the whole database. I tested basically the whole database and it works correctly besides one thing. When creating object and using new primary key shortly after to redirect to its page- I have an error. zam = Zamowienie.objects.create(zam_nr_zam=nr_zam) return redirect('details', zam_id=zam.zam_id) The zam_id field is my new primary key. I tried to call it by simple return redirect('details', zam_id=zam.pk) but the results are the same. Simplified model: class Zamowienie(models.Model): zam_id = models.IntegerField(unique=True, primary_key=True) zam_nr_zam = models.CharField(max_length=25, unique=True) When I try to access url of the object it works correctly (after creation) http://ip/details/1/ Exact error message: Exception Type: NoReverseMatch Exception Value: Reverse for 'details' with keyword arguments '{'zam_id': None}' not found. 1 pattern(s) tried: ['details/(?P<zam_id>[0-9]+)/$'] Any idea what my caused the issue? -
get() returned more than one Modules -- it returned 2! (REST API - Django)
I am stuck in this issue for almost 2 days. Here is the issue. My models are like this: class Modules(models.Model): module_name = models.CharField(max_length=50) module_duration = models.IntegerField() class_room = models.IntegerField() def __str__(self): return self.module_name class Students(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=50) age = models.IntegerField() grade = models.IntegerField() modules = models.ManyToManyField(Modules) def __str__(self): return self.name My views are here: class StudentsViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet): serializer_class = StudentsSerializer def get_queryset(self): student = Students.objects.all() return student def create(self,request,*args, **kwargs): data = request.data new_student = Students.objects.create(name=data["name"], age=data['age'], grade=data["grade"]) new_student.save() for module in data["modules"]: module_obj = Modules.objects.get(module_name=module["module_name"]) new_student.modules.add(module_obj) serializer = StudentsSerializer(new_student) return Response(serializer.data) class ModulesViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet): serializer_class = ModudesSerializer def get_queryset(self): module = Modules.objects.all() return module ``` When I POST: { "name": "steve", "age": 16, "grade": 10, "modules": [ { "module_name": "math" }, { "module_name": "physics" } ] } It says: MultipleObjectsReturned at /app_Five/student/ get() returned more than one Modules -- it returned 2! I understand get() only get one element. But I think in "for" loop above only one "module_name" exists for each loop. So each time the get() executes, only one result for it to get. Can anyone tell me what I did wrong there? -
obfuscate Django Project
Similar questions has been already asked: How would I package and sell a Django app? But no real answer was provided previously! I have developed a Django app and to satisfy constraint of a security checklist, I have to obfuscate the project, otherwise the project will not get the necessary permits to be used by my client. I don't really care if it's a wast of time or if a determined person is eventually able to break the code. All I'm looking for is a reliable way to obfuscate the project while it's still perfectly functional. I don't mind if it can be deobfuscate after 1 second. -
Django: Unable to implement SimpleJWT
I am working on implementing Simple JWT authentication in Django. I followed the documentation and everything worked fine on my local machine. Now when I was replicating the steps on the server, an error occurred. To give a background, some migration files were deleted earlier, and makemigrations command was giving errors since dependencies were non-existent. Now I went on to this step of rotating refresh tokens, unaware of the fact that some migration files are missing, and ran the migrate command. Now after running the migrate command, Django started throwing errors, but the two token tables (token_blacklist_blacklistedtoken, token_blacklist_outstandingtoken) it creates, were created (obviously with a missing column). Now the TokenObtainPairView API started working, but I thought it can fail since we have a missing table column. So I did the following steps to revert back to the previous version. uninstalled djangorestframework-simplejwt Restored the settings.py Deleted the two token tables from DB using drop table command Now, when I'm following the documentation, I am not able to create the token table again, as the migrate command is telling me there is nothing to migrate. Generally, the applied migrations are registered in django_migrations table, but the token tables migrations were not listed … -
How do I get a visible default value for a field based on two fields, one from the same model and one from another model, in Django?
Following are my two models: class SomeThing(models.Model): name=models.ForeignKey(Name, on_delete=CASCADE) total_fee=models.DecimalField(max_digits=7, decimal_places=2, default=0) class AnyThing(models.Model): name=models.ForeignKey(Name, on_delete=CASCADE) discount=models.DecimalField(max_digits=5, decimal_places=2, default=0) net_fee=models.DecimalField(max_digits=7, decimal_places=2, default="Something.total_fee-discount") I want the net fee to be visible to the user in real time as he is filling up the form. The field must calculate the net fee by subtracting discount in the same model from the total fee in the previous one. Is there any Django-way for achieving it? -

How do you handle a PATCH request from HTMX in Django?
I would like to send a PATCH request to my app but I'm not sure how to consume the request in Django. I am currently getting the following error. AttributeError: 'WSGIRequest' object has no attribute 'PATCH' The input field in the HTMX file looks like this (I also made sure to send the CSRF token): <input hx-patch="{% url 'my_update' myobj.id %}" hx-swap="none" /> This is the Django View class MyHtmxView(View): def patch(self, request, *args, **kwargs): form = MyForm(request.PATCH) if form.is_valid(): form.save() # return an okay status? 200? else: return HttpResponse(self.form_invalid(form)) Django is receiving the request, but isn't sure what to do with request.PATCH. I can see in the Django docs that there is a HttpRequest.GET and HttpRequest.POST but no HttpRequest.PATCH https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.2/ref/request-response/#httprequest-objects. What's the best way to handle the PATCH? -
How to display products in child loop related to products in main loop with django?

Filter distinct objects from ManyToMany within ManyToMany
I have following Models in my Django DRF app. class FilterValue(models.Model): code = models.Charfield(…) class ProductVariant(models.Model): filters = models.ManyToManyField("FilterValue", blank=True, …) class Product(models.Model): variants = models.ManyToManyField("ProductVariant", blank=True, …) category = models.ForeignKey("Category", blank=True) And I’m trying to define function on Category model which will return all objects of FilterValue attached to all ProductVariants of all Products that are assigned in the category. Since I’ll have loads of different ProductVarints I can’t get away with nested loops since it’d be really slow. I had multiple attempts to solve it. I can of course get all Products within a Category using: products = Product.objects.filter(category=self) But then I get stuck on the fact that I actually need to filter nested ManyToMany object since I need all ProductVariants of all Products in the QuerySet and then - in the another level I need all ManyToMany FilterValue objects of each ProductVariant. Thank you. -
Create model instance only if its user id field is equal to the logged-in user's id

How to automatically check if the subscription of the user has expired and to make changes in the model?
I am making a website, where the user chooses a plan that have diferrent durations such as 7days, 14days, 21days. However the plan does not get activated immediately. After the user completes the registation process he has to accept an agreement, and then depending on the type of plan he has choosen the expiration date is set from the date of acceptance, and a field contract_status is set True.

Static File On Django 3.2 Not Loading
My Problem is quite simple and yet I'm finding it so hard to solve it. The problem is I am not able to load the CSS File and image which are on the static folder located on the root folder of the project. The static folder is not under the app name. My project name is "ecommerce" and my app name is "store". This is my file hierarchy for my project. This is my settings.py I have added my app too. Yes, the STATICFILES_DIRS too. Tried the other one too. STATICFILES_DIRS = [ BASE_DIR / "static", ] I used temp.html for showing the demo and here is my code. And the CSS file which is named main.css After doing all the things properly, the CSS file and image won't load.

django-query: get parent value based on children field
I am sorry if I am not very clear with the query I am trying to build, based on the following models: class BankingDetail(models.Model): sfAttachmentID = models.CharField(max_length=18, unique = True) created = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True) class TransactionBankDetail(models.Model): bankingDetail = models.ForeignKey(BankingDetail, on_delete=models.CASCADE, related_name='BankingDetails') institution = models.TextField(blank=True, unique = False, null=True) I am trying to find which institutions I have and how many are they.

Django database access speed depends on host used in request
I am having performance/speed issues in a Python/Django/Postgres application. Specifically, the speed of database queries (via Django's ORM) appears to be related to the hostname used in the request to django. The examples I'm using use either localhost or the VM's hostname (dev.virtual). Using the hostname, performance is good, but using localhost there is a significant slowdown (in the order of tens of times slower). I've created a very basic view to test this: def generate_load_view(request, resource): length = int(request.GET.get("length")) length = 2 ** length iterations = int(request.GET.get("iterations")) iterations = 10 ** iterations if resource == "compute": load_generator = generate_compute_load elif resource == "memory": load_generator = generate_memory_load elif resource == "database": load_generator = generate_database_load else: raise Http404() t_start = time.monotonic() load_generator(length=length, iterations=iterations) t_end = time.monotonic() t_elapsed = t_end - t_start response = {"time": t_elapsed} return Response(response) def generate_database_load(length, iterations): model = django.contrib.contenttypes.models.ContentType pks = model.objects.values_list("pk", flat=True) for _ in range(iterations): random_pk = random.choice(pks) random_obj = model.objects.get(pk=random_pk) I'm using django's ContentType object out of convenience. The database (PostgreSQL) is running in a docker container on the same machine. I've used both django's development server (via manage.py) and a gunicorn server with no appreciable change. To reiterate, if I make a request …
