If i have many different virtual enviroments in my computer, how to make sure a django project is using a specfic one of them?
Think I have established 5 virtual enviroments in a folder using commandlines, and than start a django project outside of the folder how can i make sure which virtual env i am using in this django project, if the project is not using any virtual env in the folder, how can i change (make some configurations) the project's virtual env to a specific one in the folder? pycharm pro will automaticlly establish the link between django project and virtual env, but what if i am using a community version, how can i make it clear that which django project is using which virtual env?

Add model data to anohter model with 2 forms in same html with django
Im new in Django and im stuck in one of the main features of a small project im working in, in a few words this is like an ecommerce webpage where users can create lists or categories and then create and add products to them, in the publish template where I'm stuck the user can do all of that, if the user doesn't have a list he can create one with a popping modal or select where he wants to add the product, this is the layout, so you can get a better idea! html publish layout Next i share my model.py code segment: class List(models.Model): user = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE) title = models.CharField(max_length=40 class Product(models.Model): list = models.ForeignKey(List, on_delete=models.CASCADE) title = models.CharField(max_length=40) description = models.TextField() price = models.IntegerField() My forms.py code segment : class NewList(ModelForm): class Meta: model = List fields = ['title'] class NewProduct(ModelForm): class Meta: model = Product fields = ['title', 'description', 'price'] And finally my views.py segment, which only allows me to create a list: @login_required(login_url='log') def test(request): data = List.objects.filter(user=request.user) listForm = NewList(request.POST) if listForm.is_valid(): l = listForm.save(commit=False) l.user = request.user l.save() context = { 'data': data, 'listForm': listForm } return render(request, "test.html", context) I already … -

Django queryset order by another model field without foreignkey

Django forms - can I post objects to a form, import the form to Views, and re-use it by calling from other functions?
1. Summarize the problem: I am building a Django application, and I'm hoping to create objects that I can post to a form. I envision then importing Forms to Views in Django, and then passing the object to another web page via a definition in Views. 2. Describe what you’ve tried. I'm still in the planning stage, though I've tried a few versions of this with URLs and text. I've been able to create a form to upload new items to a list, for example, and then post that to another web page. 3. When appropriate, show some code. I envision something like the below, but before I get too far down the road, I'd like some expert eyes and advice: def metrics(request, pkid): chart = Metricspage.objects.get(pk=pkid) return render(request, "MyApp/reports/metrics.html", {"chart": chart}) -
Django DetailView: switches me to a different user
I have two user types, a student and a tutor.. and I have this ListView of tutors rendering their name, profile headline and bio, which works successfully, and I also put a link to those three fields redirecting to the detailed view of their profile. Now, I used cbv DetailView for rendering a detailed view of their profile, which also works fine.. but the only problem is, whenever I click on those link as a student, it switches my profile or my user type to that specific tutor, but when I click home or any pages of the website it switches back to normal. Could someone help me with this, please? Because I have search a solution for this problem since yesterday but I couldn't find a problem that similar to mine. Sorry for my english btw. This is the list of tutors, and as you can see on the upper right, I am logged in as a student. Here, you can see on the upper right that it switches me to joss's profile. this is my models class User(AbstractUser): is_student = models.BooleanField(default=False) is_tutor = models.BooleanField(default=False) first_name = models.CharField(max_length=100) last_name = models.CharField(max_length=100) email = models.EmailField(max_length=100) phone_number = models.CharField(max_length=11, blank=False) current_address … -
how to configure django-redis and django
I am working on an ec2 instance ubuntu and i installed redis normally and it works. Now the issue is that i subscribed for redis paid version and created a database on their website redis.com, after creating the database they gave me an endpoint url that look like this redis-21890.us-xx.ec2.cloud.redislabs.com:21890. Using the default config below, django works fine... settings.py CACHES = { "default": { "BACKEND": "django_redis.cache.RedisCache", "LOCATION": "redis://127.0.0.1:6379/1", "OPTIONS": { "CLIENT_CLASS": "django_redis.client.DefaultClient", } } } but i want to connect to the database i paid for so i changed it to CACHES = { "default": { "BACKEND": "django_redis.cache.RedisCache", "LOCATION": "redis://redis-21890.us-xx.ec2.cloud.redislabs.com:21890/", "OPTIONS": { "CLIENT_CLASS": "django_redis.client.DefaultClient", "PASSWORD": "redisDatabasePassord", } } } and now django is failing with the error below: redis.exceptions.AuthenticationError: Authentication required Is there something that i am doing wrong here? because when i try to connect to the redis-cli -p port -h host -a password with the same credentials it works. -
URL lookup not working with update and retrieve
In the url /users/*username I should be able to access each user by its username, the problem is that it isn't working how it's supposed to, doesn't matter what I write in *username it will update/delete the current logged user. Here it's the User View with the methods that are not working the way I intended: class UserViewSet(mixins.RetrieveModelMixin, mixins.UpdateModelMixin, mixins.DestroyModelMixin, viewsets.GenericViewSet): serializer_class = UserSerializer lookup_field = 'username' queryset = User.objects.all() def get_permissions(self): if self.action in ['signup', 'login',]: permissions = [AllowAny] elif self.action in ['retrieve', 'update', 'destroy']: permissions = [IsAuthenticated, IsSameUser] else: permissions = [IsAuthenticated] return [p() for p in permissions] def retrieve(self, request, *args, **kwargs): response = super(UserViewSet, self).retrieve(request, *args, **kwargs) data = response.data return Response(data=data, status=status.HTTP_200_OK) def update(self, request, *args, **kwargs): serializer = UserModelSerializer(request.user, data=request.data, partial=True) serializer.is_valid(raise_exception=True) serializer.save() return Response(serializer.data, status=status.HTTP_200_OK) -
How to construct an autocomplete page field based on Pint's units and prefixes
I want to be able to enter "Mpa" in a page field and have "MegaPascal" returned as an autocomplete selectable item using Pint's ureg units and prefixes. The main issue is that MegaPascal isn't an actual ureg element, it's the "Mega" prefix combined with the "Pascal" ureg unit. I assume that pint's ureg unit names and abbreviations can be loaded into a Javascript arrays via an api url when the page loads These arrays could then be searched JQuery UI autocomplete using a function as the source. But I can't see how to extract Pint's prefixes from Pint or how to integrate them into the autocomplete source function lookup. My current solution is to load all pint units and abbreviations into a Django model and use django's autocomplete function. -

In Django Admin changelist view, how to make a foreign key column sort by a value other than primary key?
I have a table with a Many-to-One relationship to itself, facilitating a tree structure: class Medium(models.Model): label = models.CharField(max_length=30) parent = models.ForeignKey('self', on_delete=models.CASCADE, null=True) def __str__(self): return self.label In the Django Admin changelist view, I would like show a second column with the parent medium's label for context - and I would like the column to be able to sort based on the label. However, if I use list_display to add field 'parent', that column sorts by the primary key. Demonstration: @admin.register(Medium) class MediumAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin): list_display = ('label', 'parent', 'parent_id') What's the correct or most elegant way of accomplishing this? I've seen suggestiongs to do it by adding a custom method to MediumAdmin that returns the parent label, and then apply the @admin.display(ordering='parent__label') decorator to it, but I feel like I'm missing a more correct way, since this is surely a common need. -

Setting an initial value in a Django Form
I have to setup an initial value in a form and somehow is not working, it is extremely strange as I have exactly the same code in another view, but in this case my approach is not working: views.py @login_required def add_lead(request): if request.method == 'POST': lead_form = LeadsForm(request.POST) if lead_form.is_valid(): lead_form.save() messages.success(request, 'You have successfully added a new lead') return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse('add_lead')) else: messages.error(request, 'Error updating your Form') else: user = {"agent":request.user} lead_form = LeadsForm(request.POST or None, initial = user) return render(request, 'account/add_lead.html', {'lead_form': lead_form} ) forms.py class LeadsForm(forms.ModelForm): class Meta: model = Leads fields = ('project_id','company','agent','point_of_contact','services','expected_licenses', 'expected_revenue','country', 'status', 'estimated_closing_date' ) widgets = {'estimated_closing_date': DateInput(), } Essentially, the agent is the logged user, so I'm passing request.user as a variable, but I have not succeeded, which is very strange because I have that same logic in another form Any help will be appreciated -

Simple internal server error because running uwsgi keeps on deleting the .sock file

Trying to autoassign a django group to users created by AAD/SSO process
I've spent the past 4 hours looking through so many resources trying everything to solve this and nothing with success. The short is that I'm trying to add a default group to all new users created. Users are created the first time they authenticate via AAD/SSO, but when they come in, they have no Auths. I'd like to have them receive a default group when the SSO process creates the user (e.g. from the post-save receiver of the User object). I've looked through dozens of examples using something very similar to the below code. OK fine, the process runs, never generates any errors, and successfully creates the CustomUserProfile record, but the user never gets assigned the default group. 110% chance the group exists and the get finds the group (have done exercises to confirm this). What do I have wrong on this?? Why won't this process create the group assignment (or hit the error process to tell me what's going on here)? using django 3.2.8, Python 3.8.7 @receiver(post_save, sender=User) def create_profile(sender, instance, created, **kwargs): try: if created: instance.groups.add(Group.objects.get(name='Basis - Standard Access')) CustomUserProfile.objects.create(user=instance).save() except Exception as err: print('Error creating basis user profile!') print(err) -
