How to limit CheckboxSelectMultiple choices for paid membership in Django
I'm struggling with my code in Django. My app is Garden, when you create a new garden and you are a member of 'plus' membership, you can select unlimited plants. But if you are a member of free membership you can select only 3 plants. How can I do that? models.py class Garden(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=256) description = models.TextField(blank=True, default='') address = models.CharField(max_length=512) plant = models.ManyToManyField(Plant, related_name="gardens", through="GardenPlant") user = models.ForeignKey(User, null=True, on_delete=models.CASCADE) class Membership(models.Model): PLUS = 'PL' FREE = 'FR' MEMBERSHIP_CHOICES = ( (PLUS, 'plus'), (FREE, 'free') ) slug = models.SlugField(null=True, blank=True) membership_type = models.CharField(choices=MEMBERSHIP_CHOICES, default=FREE, max_length=30) price = models.DecimalField(default=0, max_digits=999, decimal_places=2) class UserMembership(models.Model): user = models.OneToOneField(settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL, related_name='user_membership', on_delete=models.CASCADE) membership = models.ForeignKey(Membership, related_name='user_membership', on_delete=models.SET_NULL, null=True) class Subscription(models.Model): user_membership = models.ForeignKey(UserMembership, related_name='subscription', on_delete=models.CASCADE) active = models.BooleanField(default=True) def __str__(self): return self.user_membership.user.username forms.py class GardenForm(forms.ModelForm): class Meta: model = Garden fields = ['name', 'description', 'address', 'plant'] def clean_plant(self): value = self.cleaned_data['plant'] if len(value) > 3: raise forms.ValidationError("You can't select more than 3 items.") return value plant = forms.ModelMultipleChoiceField(widget=forms.CheckboxSelectMultiple, queryset=Plant.objects.all()) def save(self, user): garden = super().save(commit=False) garden.user = user garden.save() garden.plant.add(*self.cleaned_data.get('plant')) views.py def create_garden(request): form = GardenForm(request.POST or None) if form.is_valid(): form.save(request.user) return redirect('/garden') context = {"form": form, "has_subscription": subscription_check(request.user)} return render(request, "create_garden.html", … -

Django Celery with Redis Issues on Digital Ocean App Platform
After quite a bit of trial and error and a step by step attempt to find solutions I thought I share the problems here and answer them myself according to what I've found. There is not too much documentation on this anywhere except small bits and pieces and this will hopefully help others in the future. Please not that this is specific to Django, Celery, Redis and the Digital Ocean App Platform. This is mostly about the below errors and further resulting implications: OSError: [Errno 38] Function not implemented and Cannot connect to redis://...... The first error happens when you try run the celery command celery -A your_app worker --beat -l info or similar on the App Platform. It appears that this is currently not supported on digital ocean. The second error occurs when you make a number of potential mistakes. -

Django: how store multiple data types to the same model field
I want to create a database model somewhat similar to the example below: The idea is that User (or any model) can have multiple different features (or whatever) with different values. Feature can be anything, for example integer (salary), date (birthdate), or multiple selection (competences like C, Python, etc.). To keep the database design simple, I've tried an approach where I have only one Feature table which has optional choices via Choice table, instead of having separate database table for each feature type. User selection for feature value is stored to a User_has_Feature table "value" field, which is a CharField which can store multiple different data types, like integer, date, choice, multiple choice etc. My question is, how can I validate all data so that it validates against the field data type, and also shows everything correctly in admin or UI (having different UI widgets for different types)? I've tried an approach where I store the field type for each feature to Field table, which can be CharField, IntegerField, DateField, etc. Then in User_has_Feature model clean() I can dynamically validate against the field type, for example: FIELDS = { 'DateField': DateField, 'IntegerField': IntegerField, etc. } def clean(self): class_ = FIELDS.get(self.feature.field) … -
Django: Group and then Calculate the Sum of the column values through query

Any way to figure out the reverse chain of Django relationship string?
Imagine you have a valid model relation string b__c__d__e for some model modelA, so that,say, the expression ModelA.objects.filter(b__c__d__e__in=[...]) is valid. My goal is to come up with a sort of "reverse" string which defines the "path" of relation from ModelE to ModelA. Is there any built-in way to do that? I am going to write such a function myself. But before dwelving into that, I wonder if there's any built-in way to do that. -

How to reuse a serializer in Django (Python)

Which setup is the best for remote authentication using Django REST Framework?
I currently have two different Django projects. One that handles the API; one that handles the front-end. Which way is best for authenticating users using the API from my front-end? For example, the users will log in on my front-end app and all the subsequent requests, that are made to the API from the front-end, should be done using the authenticated user. None of the authentication methods provided by DRF seems to suit my use case. Is there a way to do this or is my entire setup wrong?
