django project deployed on AWS using postgres - how to create a database
I have a django project that I deployed on AWS using the awsebcli. I need to provision a database (postgres) and once the enviroment is deployed I create from the console a database I would like to automate this process and I tried a config file so I tried adding this to my django.config file inside the .ebextensions folder of my project: aws:rds:dbinstance: DBAllocatedStorage: '5' DBDeletionPolicy: Delete DBEngine: postgres DBEngineVersion: 10.17 DBInstanceClass: db.t2.micro DBPassword: PASSWORD_HERE DBUser: USERNAME_HERE MultiAZDatabase: false But in this way the database is not created. I have to created it from the console and then pass as enviromental variables using the terminal (eb setenv) the endpoint of the database and other parameters. Is there a way to solve this and automate the deployment? -

django redirect to different view/page if permission denied
Hej! I have a view where contact details are rendered. The goal is to have some users who are allowed to see all details ('A') and some who only can see for example the name ('B'). Therefore I have two serializers in my model and two views (one for each serializer). The users are divided in two groups. The @user_passes_test does work so only the one in group 'A' are able to get into the view with the details. I want the ones which are in group 'B' to be redirected automatically to the view/page where the details are minimized. Any idea how to achieve that? I've got: # views.py def contacts_check(user): return user.groups.filter(name="Contacts = True").exists() @login_required @user_passes_test(contacts_check) def contacts(request): . . . @login_required def contacts_small(request): . . . # urls.py app_name = "app" urlpatterns = [ path("contacts", contacts, name="contacts"), path("contacts2", contacts_small, name='contacts2') ] I tried: @user_passes_test(contacts_check, login_url='contacts') but both user groups are directed to the url 'contacts' with the full view. ('B' gets an error that the user has no access). Same when login_url='contacts2'. I also tried: def sees_contacts(self): if str(self.user.groups.filter) == 'Contacts = True': return True else: return False con_login_required = user_passes_test(lambda u: True if u.sees_individuals else False, … -

Django, Openpyxl: column widths are returning strange values
inside my app I'm creating a simple workbook and -sheet! Afterwards I'm iterating through a dictionary to adjust the columns width and the rows height. functions.py def create_workbook(): dict_col_width = { 'A': 2.22, 'B': 0.5, 'C': 2.33, 'D': 2.89, } dict_row_height = { 1: 44.4, 2: 9.9, 3: 15.6, 4: 85.2, } wb = Workbook() ws = wb.active ws.title = "Some title" for key, value in dict_col_width.items(): ws.column_dimensions[key].width = value for key, value in dict_row_height.items(): ws.row_dimensions[key].height = value return wb views.py ... wb = create_workbook() file_text = "some_file_name" response = HttpResponse(content=save_virtual_workbook(wb), content_type='application/ms-excel') response['Content-Disposition'] = f'attachment; filename={file_text}.xlsx' return response My problem is, that after downloading and opening the file, it seems the column widths have been created randomly. I've also tested the column width with the numbers 1 to 4 and these were the results: ws.column_dimensions[...].width = 1 --> results in a width of 0.56 ws.column_dimensions[...].width = 2 --> results in a width of 1.22 ws.column_dimensions[...].width = 3 --> results in a width of 2.22 ws.column_dimensions[...].width = 4 --> results in a width of 3.22 Strangely enough the rows were working perfectly fine! I've adjusted the column width in other programs before and this error(?) never occurred before! Does someone know … -
Django: Reproducing Migrations in Test Environment
Issue Background My development version is continuously developing with it's own database. I will makemigrations and migrate numerous times and evolve the local db. I will then push my changes on GIT once I feel the version is ready for the Test Environment. I will pull from the master and begin working on making the same migrations for the Test Environment (Has it's own DB). Issue As the code on the development version is being continuously developed (forms, views etc.) they become dependent on the models.py and database structure (imports and model usage). Therefore, when I attempt to makemigrations on the test environment by loads of dependency errors will throw up where I have referenced the new models in forms.py, views.py. For example: >>> python manage.py makemigrations File "C:\Users\<user>\<project>\<app>\forms.py", line 101, in UpdateCanisterForm choices=queryset_to_choice(CellModel.objects.all()), File "C:\Users\<user>\<project>\<app>\forms.py", line 34, in queryset_to_choice return [(x.id, x.__str__) for x in queryset] File "C:\Users\<user>\anaconda3\lib\site-packages\django\db\models\query.py", line 287, in __iter__ self._fetch_all() [...] django.db.utils.OperationalError: (1054, "Unknown column '<app>.site_id' in 'field list'") Note: <> replaced to maintain privacy Current Workaround My current work around is to comment out all the newly referenced fields until the code is happy with it's dependencies and I can migrate. What I want I'd … -
Create user in production or in local host for django
I don't know if this is a newbie question. But basically, I have website hosted on Pythonanywhere. When I want to make changes, the normal workflow is to make changes locally -> commit and push changes to github -> pull changes to pythonanywhere(PA) console and migrate. At the moment, I create accounts for my users manually and an email is then automatically sent to them with a link to set their own password. I do this like this. uid = urlsafe_base64_encode(force_bytes(user.pk)) token = default_token_generator.make_token(user) reset_view = reverse('password_reset_confirm', args=[uid, token]) url = request.build_absolute_uri( reset_view ) set_password_form = PasswordResetForm({'email':email}) assert set_password_form.is_valid() set_password_form.save( request=request, from_email="email", subject_template_name='accounts/welcome_email_subject.txt', email_template_name="accounts/welcome_email_template.html", html_email_template_name="accounts/welcome_email_template.html", extra_email_context = {'url':url , 'username':username,"name":name} ) I recently just realized that the domain of the generated password reset link depends on where I created the user account from. So if i created the user on localhost, the domain will be 127.0. 0.0 but if I created the account in Pythonanywhere, the domain will be mywebsite.com. Say if I decided to create an account on local server. the domain will be localhost so if I closed my computer before the user clicked on the link, they won't be able to set their password as the server … -

Django: Upload multiple directory of images at once
In my Django project, I want to upload bulk images for products from a directory of directories. Each directory is named after SKU for a product. There may or may not be multiple images inside each directory. How can I achieve this functionality? My Models: class Product(models.Model): sku = models.CharField('SKU', max_length = 200) name = models.CharField('Name', max_length = 1000) price = models.CharField('Price', max_length = 200) quantity = models.CharField('Quantity', max_length = 200) class Meta: verbose_name = 'Product' verbose_name_plural = 'Products' def __str__(self): return self.name class Image(models.Model): product = models.ForeignKey(Product, on_delete=models.CASCADE, verbose_name='product_image') image = models.ImageField(upload_to='images/') class Meta: verbose_name = 'Image' verbose_name_plural = 'Images' def __str__(self): return str(self.image) I can upload bulk products using the below CSV. There are multiple images inside each SKU folder below. I want to upload the images from the folders at once and link them with their respective SKUs. How can I achieve that? Any guidance will be much appreciated. NB: I can upload a single image for a product. If we want to upload thousands of products and their related images, uploading a single image is not a feasible solution. -

*_set attributes on models from different Apps
I have two models defined in different Apps, related by a Many to Many relationship: #App 1, models.py class Parent(models.Model): name=models.CharField(max_lenght=10) #App2, models.py from App1.models import Parent class Child(models.Model): parents = models.ManyToManyField( to = Parent, blank = True, default = None, related_name = 'padres' ) I would like to access the Child element from the Parent Model. When Models are in the same app, you can just do child_set, but in this case, it is not defined. Is there anyway to do it? I can't define the M2M relationship in Parent because I'm importing other models from App1 in App2, and doing so would lead to a circular importing. -

Add Pagination in Django Rest Framework
I am trying to use PageNumberPagination in DRF anf for that I have changed the settings.py file like the following: REST_FRAMEWORK = { 'DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES': ( 'rest_framework_simplejwt.authentication.JWTAuthentication', ), 'DEFAULT_PAGINATION_CLASS': 'rest_framework.pagination.PageNumberPagination', # 'PAGE_SIZE':10 } and views.py from rest_framework.pagination import PageNumberPagination class GrnListAPIView(generics.ListAPIView): serializer_class = GrnListSerializer pagination_class = PageNumberPagination permission_classes = (permissions.IsAuthenticated, GRNViewPermission) def get_queryset(self): return Grn.objects.all() now when I try to access the data using the URL: http://localhost:8000/grns/?page=1&page_size=10 It gives me all the data rather than returning 10 objects. It works fine when I uncomment the PAGE_SIZE but only returns 10 values per page, which is understandable as I have mentioned page_size=10 in my params but when I change it to 20 or 30 it still returns the same amount of data instead of 20 or 30 objects. -

How to correctly create a json response of a logged in user for react
I started to try react and tried to simply get the logged in user info but this does not seem to work. I have a Django view to display the user data: def user_details_view(request, *args, **kwargs): #REST API for detailing some basic info about the user that is using the system at the moment current_user = request.user id = current_user.id try: obj = CustomUser.objects.get(id=id) data =obj.serialize() except: #data['message'] = "Not Found" status = 404 return JsonResponse(data) I set this view in the urls and if I access it I get the data I want. However, when I try it on react I get an internal server error. Here is the code so far: function loadUserInfo(callback){ const xhr = new XMLHttpRequest(); const method = 'GET'; const url = "http://127.0.0.1:8000/userdetails/"; const responseType = "json"; xhr.responseType = responseType; // Let the xhr request know that its getting a json xhr.open(method, url); //This opens the request with the method and url entered xhr.onload = function(){ console.log("This is the response: ",xhr.response) callback(xhr.response, xhr.status) } xhr.onerror = function(){ callback({"message":"The request was an error"}, 400) } xhr.send();//Trigger that request } function App() { const [info, setinfo] = useState(null) useEffect(()=>{ const myCallBack = (response,status)=>{ console.log(response,status) if (status === … -
Django error , Broken pipe from ('127.0.0.1', 33609)
I am creating django project and got this error. Broken pipe from ('127.0.0.1', 33609). What I've been trying to do is that I created table using auth_user table (default user authentication table of django framework) and I created my own table. When the user register , I will record it in auth_user table by using User.objects.create_user() then I create my own object and then .save() to my table. In this step , I created the nested property and I think I assigned each property in the correct way. From what I've got , both of them are successful and the records are saved to database. For the frontend ,I use axios with function .then to receive response from the server and it gives me error saying that Broken pipe from ('127.0.0.1', 33609). I've tried to debug this many ways and each of the way I tried , it makes no sense at all because both object are saved to database. Besides, the object mapping is correct (that's what I think). Here is my code (quite long , sorry for that) from django.http.response import JsonResponse from django.shortcuts import render from django.contrib.auth import authenticate , login from django.contrib.auth.models import User from application1.models … -
