I have tried many ways to upload a file to the server, but I always get the response {"detail": "No chunk file was submitted"}. How to use this library correctly?

Testing in Django with authentication

How do I render human-readable value in HTML of a choice list?
Using the following model to select a day of the week: class Schedule(models.Model): DAYS_OF_WEEK = [ (0, 'Monday'), (1, 'Tuesday'), (2, 'Wednesday'), (3, 'Thursday'), (4, 'Friday'), (5, 'Saturday'), (6, 'Sunday') ] day_of_week = models.IntegerField(choices=DAYS_OF_WEEK, default=0) Rendering the models in HTML via {{ schedule.day_of_week }} renders the integer value of 0-6 rather than the human-readable "Monday-Sunday" values. When I view the model in the admin panel, I see the human readable values. How do I render the human readable values in HTML? -

Using jQuery locally with Bootstrap for Django wont respond
I have this in my base.html file included {% load bootstrap4 %} {% bootstrap_css %} {% bootstrap_javascript jquery='full' %} And I'm using navbar navbar-expand-lg navbar-light from Bootstrap for my navbar. This is working. When I'm using a small display (like smartphone) it shrinks the menu to dropdown element with a button to expand. But the {% bootstrap_javascript jquery='full' %} part is taking too long to fully load the jquery source from network: Around 400ms without cache. I would like to lose this waiting time as much as possible. So I downloaded latest jquery 3.6.0 from official site, saved it locally in my static files like static/main_app/scripts/jQuery.js loaded it locally with <script type="text/javascript" src="{% static 'main_app/scripts/jQuery.js' %}"></script> in my base.html. This works and jQuery is working fine. But the Bootstrap's nav-bar buttons are not responding. There is also not error message in browser's console. So I though: Maybe the jQuery version is wrong? So I tried to implement again working version to my site {% bootstrap_javascript jquery='full' %} , look for source of the file above in dev-tools of my browser, copy & pasted the source code to my jQuery.js file and loaded the site again. Nothing changed and the navbar … -
Django Serializer Passing a arguments into model function
New to Django and DRF, I have a method in the model properties which accept arguments. I have managed to call it successful though a serializer class with default paramenters and getting a JSON response. My problem is I can't pass argument to that function named balance. I have successful pass my argument from view to serializer class but from serializer to model that where I have failed.

Cant create object with foreign key
I think i am making some silly mistake, but actually it took me already too much time so i will ask here I have two classes isActive.py active = models.BooleanField() human_readable = models.CharField(max_length=20) User.py type = models.CharField(max_length=127) is_active = models.ForeignKey(IsActive, on_delete=models.PROTECT) and in my migration i am using this function to populate: User = apps.get_model("project", "User") db_alias = schema_editor.connection.alias default_active = IsActive.objects.get(pk=1) # its active status A = User(name='Saaa', is_active=default_active) Adserver.objects.using(db_alias).bulk_create([ A ]) Now i get this error : ValueError: Cannot assign "<IsActive: Aktywny>": "User.is_active" must be a "IsActive" instance. And i think i am actually passing the IsActive instance, because it should link it to my user table? -

Django VsCode not showing code if open project
I am encountering something really strange. If I open my app with VS code it looks like this(well the part im interested in): Which displays everything i wrote. But if I open the entire project, and then go to the app and views.py I get this instead: Which essentially isnt showing this part of the code: if request.method == 'POST': data = request.POST print(data) correct_associate_action = data['correct_associate_action'] Associate_Key_Driver = data['Associate_Key_Driver'] Defect_Area_Associate = data['Defect_Area_Associate'] Sub_Key_Driver = data['Sub_Key_driver'] Metric_name = data['Metric_name'] auditor.correct_associate_action = correct_associate_action auditor.Associate_Key_Driver = Associate_Key_Driver auditor.Defect_Area_Associate = Defect_Area_Associate auditor.Metric_name = Metric_name auditor.Sub_Key_driver = Sub_Key_Driver auditor.save() return redirect(f'http://127.0.0.1:8000/{pk}/') except auditsModel.DoesNotExist: print('hello') context = { "items": model, "form": form } return render(request, "main/auditform.html", context) But everything is running like normal....

How can I tie user behavior on Django website to a specific user?
Note: I would prefer to avoid JavaScript and 3rd party services. I am implementing my own logging and would like to track user actions so I can better understand why exceptions are being thrown. I was initially using a session variable in middleware to later pull a request.session.session_key to identify a user. def CreateSessionMiddleware(get_response): def middleware(request): request.session['sentinel'] = 'value' return middleware However, when the user logs out, the entire session is flushed, including my sentinel key and I lose track of this user. I have also seen the concept of "fingerprinting" a browser, but I'm not sure if enough detailed information about the user is available through request.headers. I'm currently in development and don't have any experience with tracking users in a production environment. Are there any pure Django solutions to following users' journeys through a website? Thanks! -
How to avoid repeated code in views in Django?
I have several function based views in a django project, and I noticed that they have some repeated code, in fact, they all do the same thing: def my_view(request): form = MyForm(request.POST or None) if requqest.POST: if form.is_valid(): do_somethin() and_something_else() return redirect('another:page') return render(request, 'my/tempalate.html', {'form': form}) The only thing that is different is the url where the user is redirected to in case of a succcesful form validation, the template, and maybe the form in the future. Is it a good idea to use something like this to avoid that repetition?: def a_view(request, success_redirect_url, template): form = MyForm(request.POST or None) if request.POST: if form.is_valid(): do_something() and_something_else() return redirect(success_redirect_url) return render(request, template, {'form': form}) and then reuse it in other views that have the repeated code? like: def my_view1(request, url='another_page', template='my/template.html'): return a_view(request, url, template) -
Simplest way to add a view to my Django admin UI?
What is the simplest way to add a view to my Django admin UI? That is, add a URL mysite.com/admin/my-view so that visiting that URL acts like the rest of admin (in particular, requires similar permissions). There is a whole page on this, but it's not obvious to me how to piece it together. https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.2/ref/contrib/admin/#adding-views-to-admin-sites says you can add a get_urls to your AdminSite class. Okay, so I need my own AdminSite class. And I need to register it in apps, maybe? I did this: class MyAdminSite(admin.AdminSite): def get_urls(self): urls = super().get_urls() my_urls = [ path('my-view', self.my_view, name='my-view') ] return my_urls + urls def my_view(self, request): # do something .. admin_site = MyAdminSite(name='my_admin') and this in urls.py: from .admin import admin_site urlpatterns = [ path('admin/', admin_site.urls), and this in unchanged in INSTALLED_APPS in settings: 'django.contrib.admin', But, now it only shows the admin for the one app, instead of for all the apps. So how do I get it to auto-discover all the apps like it used to? Or is there a simpler way? P.S. There is also a question on this, but the answer didn't have enough detail for me to use it. -
Permissions in React and Django
I have a web application built with HTML/CSS/JS/Django which is now being converted to a React.js/DRF project. I would like to slowly integrate React.js so I will be converting one page at a time. This is a SaaS LMS platform. There will be different levels of permissions for each page (e.g. can_edit_video, can_view_video, etc) which I have already implemented in Django but have not ever coded in React.js. Where should the permissions be handled on the front-end? What I mean is, I could make this a MPA and have Django fully handle permissions at the view level (seems easiest) when serving the template or I could make it a SPA and handle permissions on the backend, then pass the user permissions to React to display the appropriate content/components. What should be the deciding factor on approach to take? -

Run Python function from within CherryPy webpage with djgano
My project is a client/server model project with Python, CherryPy and Django. The Python program has various server like functions (adding/removing/editing stuff from/to the database, running commands, etc). It's a SQLite database so I would want the server to be the one solely charge of writing to the database and the client WebApp is just a portal into what the database has as far as values and telling the server what to do. When the python program starts one of its tasks is to initializes a CherryPy server that hosts a Django website as sort of a GUI to the server app. I use the following thread to start the CherryPy Web server: class ClientThread(object): HOST = get_setting_val('BindIP') # Function to read "BindIP" from an ini file. PORT = int(get_setting_val('Port')) # Function to read setting from ini file DIR = get_setting_val('InstallDir') # function to read setting from ini file.
