How do I ensure my Profile Image is uploaded during registration?
I am trying to implement a simple Custom-User-Registration using django-rest-framework, django-allauth and dj-rest-auth.

Make django auto convert to setting timezone
I've enabled USE_TZ as True and added TIME_ZONE as Asia/Calcutta in settings.py So when I am inputting a date like datetime(24, 11, 2021) it is stored in db as 2021-11-23T18:30:00+00:00 which is fine. But when I am getting the date in shell, it is not converting back in IST and just giving me datetime.datetime(2021, 11, 23, 18, 30, tzinfo=<UTC>) and whenever I have to display the date, it is showing 23 instead of 24 and I have to convert it manually everywhere. But strangely in django admin it is showing me IST dates but not in django shell or anywhere else. Is this the only way or I can have auto IST converted dates somehow? -

What I try to check if the connection was already opened, and if not, open it. I do connection = mail.get_connection() connection.open() to get the connection and open it. Then I send the emails and close it under some condition. Is there a way to check if the connection has already been opened? -
Difference between 'python -m pip install <package-name>' and 'pip install <package-name>'
I'm running into an issue where I'm trying to run a Django application within a virtual environment but it kept showing me errors regarding missing packages that need installation although I did install them previously using pip install <package-name>. The issues couldn't be resolved until I used python -m pip install <package-name> to install the missing packages. My question is what is the difference between the two commands? Does one of the commands install packages to the virtual environment and the other one does that globally? I'm confused. Side Note: Also when running pip freeze shows different installed packages than those showing when I run python -m pip freeze. -

Well, my question is "Does it make sense to use django and npm in the same project?" or "Should I use a different method?" -

How to avoid "a lot of {%include%} gives a lot of <footer>"?
When I need to use a lot of {%include%} (content) in html templates - do unnecessary extensions appear for each content inclusion? Effects are also applied to each subsequent inclusion of content... When I can add content inclusion to the first html template expander, everything is fine. But when I use "pagination" I need to send "page=posts" to paginator.html. I can't find a way to send this variable to blog.html from layout.html... And I think that in the future I will have the same problems, and therefore it should be solved. layout.html <div class="container body-content"> <div id="content"> {% block content %} {% endblock %} </div> </div> <div class="container body-content"> <footer> <hr/> <p>&copy; {{ year }}.

Problem with a select that filters the other
I did all the filtering correctly from the frontend point of view, but in the backend I cannot save the data. This is the error: select a valid choise. That choice is not one of the available choices. I can't understand where the error is, I think in the fact that 'group_single' is passed in post from my view and therefore is not seen by the form. if 'gruppo_single' in self.data: try: gruppo_id = int(self.data.get('gruppo_single')) print("<----------ciao sono qui ------>", gruppo_id) self.fields['dati_esercizio'].queryset = models.Esercizi.objects.filter(gruppo_id = gruppo_id) except (ValueError, TypeError): pass else: print("<----------errore ------>") models.py class Gruppi(models.Model): nome_gruppo = models.CharField(max_length=100) class Esercizi(models.Model): nome_esercizio = models.CharField(max_length=100) gruppo = models.ForeignKey( Gruppi, on_delete = models.CASCADE, related_name = 'gruppo' ) class Schede(models.Model): nome_scheda = models.CharField(max_length=100) data_inizio = models.DateField() data_fine = models.DateField() utente = models.ForeignKey( User, on_delete = models.CASCADE, related_name = 'utente' ) class DatiGruppi(models.Model): giorni_settimana_scelta = [ ("LUNEDI","Lunedì"), ("MARTEDI","Martedì"), ("MERCOLEDI","Mercoledì"), ("GIOVEDI","Giovedì"), ("VENERDI","Venerdì"), ("SABATO","Sabato"), ("DOMENICA","Domenica") ] giorni_settimana = MultiSelectField( choices = giorni_settimana_scelta, default = '-' ) dati_gruppo = models.ForeignKey( Gruppi, on_delete = models.CASCADE, related_name = 'dati_gruppo' ) gruppi_scheda = models.ForeignKey( Schede, on_delete = models.CASCADE, related_name = 'gruppi_scheda' ) class DatiEsercizi(models.Model): serie = models.IntegerField() ripetizione = models.IntegerField() peso = models.DecimalField( max_digits = 4, decimal_places = 1, blank = … -

Swedish BankID QR code Server/Client Interaction in Django
This post is related to my last post BankID has the ability to offer animated QR code generation for authorization. It generates a new QR every second and you scan with a mobile app and then their server returns a success once the user enters their code or scans their fingerprint. You can just skip the QR code and have bankID ping the user to enter their code to auth, but I want to have the QR code functionality for my app. Now my question is this. When the POST request is sent Views gets a qr_start_token, and qr_start_secret returned from the bankID server. Views is waiting for a status change from the BankID server to do something, but that leaves me at a lost on how I can render the changing QR code on the client. How can I do this without rendering a new page, passing the secret through context and using javascript to replicate this process? Here is the relevant code: if request.META['HTTP_USER_AGENT']: ua_string = request.META['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] user_agent = parse(ua_string) if user_agent.is_pc: status=client.collect(order_ref=auth["orderRef"])["status"] order_time = time.time() while status == "pending": qr_start_token = auth["qrStartToken"] qr_start_secret = auth["qrStartSecret"] print(qr_start_secret) qr_time = str(int(time.time() - order_time)) qr_auth_code = hmac.new(qr_start_secret.encode(), qr_time.encode(), hashlib.sha256).hexdigest() qr_data … -

Can the APIRequestFactory create a request with data and user attributes
I'm trying to make a unit test for a function that takes a django Request object as a parameter; the Request object being one of the params from a Django class based view method. From the request object param, it's assumed there is a data and user attribute. My problem is that I can't replicate the request object using DRF's APIRequestFactory. When I'm using the python requests package and I do something like headers = { 'Authorization': "Token {}".format(settings.AUTH_TOKEN), 'Accept': 'application/json', 'Content-Type': 'application/json', } data['foo'] = foo_id response = requests.post( '{}/api/foo/{}/action/'.format(settings.ROOT_URL, foo_id), headers=headers, json=data) Then the user and data attribute exist in the request object of the class based views. If, however, I use DRF's APIRequestFactory and do data = {"foo_id": 1234} factory = APIRequestFactory() request = factory.post('/api/foo/1/action/', data, format="json") ...then I have to explicitly add request.user = user request.data = data Only the body attribute as data, and thats as a bytestream e.g. body: b'{"foo_id":"1234"}' Is what I'm trying to do possible? As an aside, it could also be that I'm violating the law of demeter and that my function being tested should be taking a dict and a user object as params instead of an entire request object, …
