How do I load a django template using absolute paths?
I have a template xyz.html stored in the path /doc-templates/ so the full path is /doc-templates/xyz.html I'm trying to load the template using my_template = get_template('/doc-templates/xyz.html') But this raises the TemplateDoesNotExist exception. Any ideas before I roll out my own template loader? PS: Yes I know where Django templates should be, I just want to see if this is possible now that everything is being "dockerized" I have explicitly enabled django.template.loaders.filesystem.Loader and set the DIRS to a non empty list as documented but it seems to be ignoring the absolute path (possibly appending it to the DIRS list) -

Issue with Google login using Django allauth: Not prompted to select Google account in Incognito mode or certain browsers (opera, Edge)
I'm using Django allauth for Google login in my web application. Everything works fine, but I've encountered an issue where when users try to log in using Google in Incognito mode or with certain browsers like Opera or Edge, they are not prompted to select a Google account.

Sessionid is not set to 'application/Cookies' in developer tools
I'm trying to implement a login function with Django and React. Reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=diB38AvVkHw&ab_channel=Djangoroad When a post method is sent to login, the sessionid is set only in 'network/cookies'.

Django Autocomplete Light, forward widget is not working
I have the following code: forms.py from dal import autocomplete, forward class AnalysisForm(forms.Form): def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs): super().__init__(*args, **kwargs) class Meta: model = Analysis fields = ['method', 'database'] method_type = forms.ChoiceField(choices=[('', ' -- select an option -- ', 'A', 'B')], required=True)) database = forms.ModelChoiceField(queryset=Database.objects.all(), required=True, widget=autocomplete.ModelSelect2(url='database-autocomplete', forward=("method_type", ), attrs={'data-placeholder': 'Database ...', 'data-minimum-input-length': 1., }, ) ) views.py class DatabaseAutocomplete(autocomplete.Select2QuerySetView): # url: database-autocomplete def get_queryset(self): qs = Database.objects.all() print(self.forwarded) script_type = self.forwarded.get('method_type') print("SCRIPT CHOICE") print(script_type) if script_type is None: qs = Database.objects.none() What this code is doing is is that the form takes a value for method_type and database (which uses autocomplete). I would like database to access the value of method_type when running the autocomplete function but it is not being sent (notice how I am printing self.forwarded, but it is always empty). I have also produced some variations on the above method for example: forward=(forward.Field("method_type"), ) which did not work. I also used: forward=(forward.Const(42, "b"), ) to try and send anything which also failed. Am I missing anything? I would appreciate some help. -

Disable add of related record in Django admin
I would like to customize a Django 5+ admin view page. The model looks like this class Person tutor = models.ForeignKey("Person", on_delete=models.SET_NULL, null=True, blank=True) and consequently the edit page for Person has a drop down box to select from a list of already added persons to the database, and add and delete buttons. Is there a way to remove (or disable) these add and delete buttons so that only Persons added before can be selected used? But I do not want to disable adding Persons in general, I just want that it cannot be done through this button. -
Trying to require password on django allauth social login with google workspace
The basic question is how to go about requiring a user to put in their password when using google SSO. We have a few users who use the same device and don't want them to all be able to log in as each other. If I could require a password after a unit of time that would be okay, but I think I have set in workspace to require login after 12 hours already. Otherwise logging in with google works fine. It's just requiring some kind of re-authentication periodically that we need. Here is the basic setup on django SOCIALACCOUNT_PROVIDERS = { 'google': { 'SCOPE': [ 'profile', 'email', ], 'AUTH_PARAMS': { 'access_type': 'online', } } } Have tried updating the login link to use action-reauthenticate {% provider_login_url 'google' action="reauthenticate" %} This forces the user to select their account but doesn't require a password. -
