Django: How to manually render each field of a form on a bootstrap template?
I've found this nice bootstrap template online and I want to use it as my template for updating a user profile, I have tried several methods I've found in here and also in youtube, but I still couldn't get it to work. Not only does the form isn't rendering, the updated profile is not being saved also when I click update. Could someone help me out what is the problem? and I do apologize in advance if I'm not making sense as english is my second langauge. here is my view for profile update, I did not create a form for it as I've read online that I do not need to create a form for it to work, just need the model. class TutorProfileUpdateView(UpdateView): model = User fields = ['first_name', 'last_name', 'email', 'phone number', 'current_address', 'image', 'bio'] template_name = 'account/tutor_dashboard.html' success_url = reverse_lazy('tutor-dashboard') def form_valid(self, form): fm = form.save(commit=False) fm.user = self.request.user fm.save() messages.success(self.request, f'Profile Updated!') return HttpResponseRedirect(self.get_success_url()) and here is some part of the template, I will not paste it all here as it is too long. <form method="POST"> {% csrf_token%} <div class="card h-100"> <div class="card-body"> <div class="row gutters"> <div class="col-xl-12 col-lg-12 col-md-12 col-sm-12 col-12"> <h6 class="mb-2 text-primary">Personal … -
Django - Best practice for running (switching) dev/debug/product mode?
In my source (using Docker), there is a database and my django code. docker-compose.yml services: app: db: When I debug locally, I usually delete the database in Docker-compose to prevent it creating a new database locally. Then I change the settings in django source to connect to the database of the server settings.py DATABASES = { 'default': { 'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql', 'HOST': 123.231.***, 'NAME': db***, 'USER': ****, 'PASSWORD': **** } } or When I develop a new feature, I would prefer to create a database locally to test things our rather than connect directly to the server database. Well, my question is that how to set things up so we can easily switch between dev/ prod/ debug mode. In my thought, it should be easy like commanding: python manage.py run dev-mode -

DRF: how to mix model fields directly inside a serializer
Suppose I have class Model1(models.Model) first_name = models.CharField(_('first name'), max_length=150, blank=True) last_name = models.CharField(_('last name'), max_length=150, blank=True) class Model2(models.Model): location = models.TextField() phone = models.CharField(max_length=15) I want to create a serializer using these fields. This has nothing to do with the models or the POST transaction. Just i want to use the definition of the models class CombinedSerializer(serializer.ModelSerializer): class Meta: model = Model1 fields = ['first_name'] model = Model2 fields = ['location'] So that i dont have to define them again. -

Adding a form to formset's child elements
I have a Message form, with basic fields: class MessageForm(forms.ModelForm): class Meta: model = Message fields = [ 'message_introduction', 'recipient', 'sender' ] labels = { 'message_introduction': 'message_introduction', 'recipient':'recipient', 'sender':'sender', } Each message can contain multiple question by formset: class Message_questionForm(forms.ModelForm): class Meta: model = Message_question fields = ['message_question', 'recipient', 'sender' ] widgets = { 'message_question': forms.Textarea(attrs={'class': 'formset-field', 'rows': 4}), } So far it all works well, i am able to call the form in the view and save both models with no problem. I am now looking, in the detail view of each message, to display each question related to the message (that is done), but i would like to also add a way for the recipient to answer the question. I have created my model: class Question_answer(models.Model): message_question = models.ForeignKey(Message_question, related_name="question_answers", on_delete=models.CASCADE) id = models.UUIDField(primary_key=True, default=uuid.uuid4, editable=False) question_answer = models.TextField() recipient = models.CharField(blank=True, null=True, max_length=255) sender = models.CharField(blank=True, null=True, max_length=255) def __str__(self): return self.question_answer class Meta: db_table = 'question_answers' But from here I am not sure how to proceed in the viewz.py and in the actual template. Would someone know a way to put an answer field in front of each question please ? -
Is there a way to verify google play purchases without oauth2?
I've been building a flutter app that communicates with a Django rest API server.

Google oAuth 2.0 API Authentication Error: Error 400 - redirect_uri_mismatch (does not comply with policy) DJANGO APP
I am trying to get my google authentication working on a Django app that is requesting Gmail and Calendar data. I have set up the oAuth API in the Google developer console and linked it with my project, and I've triple-checked that my redirect URI perfectly matches that in the code (No errors with HTTP vs. HTTPS nor any inconsistencies with the slashes). I made sure that my key, secret key, ClientID, and Client Secret are all configured and identical in my Django app's admin page. I have followed many youtube tutorials and searched other questions on stack overflow but Authentication is still not working. I am getting an Error 400: redirect_uri_mismatch. Even though I have checked many times to confirm that they are the same. From all the tutorials, I have learned that there are two main origins for this error: Server sided (can be fixed in the cloud hosting developer console) Client sided (can be fixed by altering the code) Both of these errors have their own individualized messages saying what type of mismatch it is. Mine, however, says this: You can't sign in to this app because it doesn't comply with Google's OAuth 2.0 policy. \n\nIf you're … -

Django rest framework user registration : Update django user database after the email verification is done
I am trying to register the user by sending an OTP to their mail. Consider the following usual: the user posts a request for registration with an email, password. (email mapped to the username of Django). Django creates the user and the user gets the OTP for verification. If the user verifies, an 'is_verified' field will be set to true. Now, If the user doesn't verify himself with the OTP, I can't get around the following issues. Please suggest a workaround. ---> Any other user can now not use the same email for registration, as email already exists in the database. I want the user to be updated in the database only after the user has successfully verified the otp. -
How to make a Vanilla JS XMLHttpRequest (Wordpress site)
I'm new to wordpress and I'm trying to convert a Django project to wordpress. I have a script.js file that has the XMLHttpRequest function saveInfo() { let request = new XMLHttpRequest(); request.open('POST', '/save/'); let csrf = get_csrf(); request.setRequestHeader('X-CSRFToken', csrf); request.onreadystatechange = () => { if (request.readyState === 4 && request.status == 200) { console.log(JSON.parse(request.responseText)) } } request.send(JSON.stringify(datos)); } Then Django takes the data from that request, saves it to a database and send an email message also with that data: def saveToDB(request): if request.method == "POST": body = request.body.decode('utf-8') body = json.loads(body) client = Client( email=body['email'], edad=body['edad'], ) response = client.save() subject = 'Nueva suscripción a TuKeto' message = 'Email: ' + body['email'] + body['altura'] sendEmail = EmailMessage( subject, message, 'example@gmail.com', ['example@gmail.com'], reply_to=[body['email']], ) status = sendEmail.send() return HttpResponse("SAVED") I have found examples in jquery but they are incomplete and I don't know how to connect the ajax to the wordpress back end. An example of how to make this request with vanilla js and the configuration of the wordpress back end would be very useful. Thanks in advance. -
