I can't receive tokens on android app from the django server
I am trying to figure out why I can not receive access tokens on my android app from the django server. The android app structure seems fine to me. Still the issue persists. I tested the server response with postman and it looks fine (I receive both, access and refresh tokens) but on my android app that does not work. I share with you some code snippets hoping someone here could help me. Thank you in advance anybody!

How to enable dynamic custom domains
I am a developer for a SAAS web app and excel plugin. With our product, users are able to share outputs of their work with third parties via a browser link. The format of the browser link today is nameofourwebsite.io/titleofoutput. I'm looking to implement two versions of a feature: As a V1, I'd like to enable users to create a custom domain in the form of companyname.website.io/titleofspreadsheet. I am already the owner of the domain website.io. As a V2, (to be implemented at a later date), I'd like for users to be able to bring their own custom domain, similar to the implementation with Stripe (https://docs.stripe.com/payments/checkout/custom-domains). In other words, when a user shares a browser link to the output of their work instead of the link being companyname.website.io/titleofspreadsheet the browser link would be something along the lines of customprefix.companywebsite.com/titleofworkbook. I am not sure how to tackle this problem and I am looking for advice as to the steps we need to take. -
How to ensure changes to variables in .env file reflect in Django project?
I'm encountering an issue in my Django project where changes made to variables in the .env file do not seem to be reflected when I restart the server. Here are the steps I've taken: Verified that the .env file is in the correct location and its name is exactly .env. Restarted the Django development server after making changes to the .env file. Double-checked the syntax of the .env file for any errors or typos. Cleared the cache after making changes to the .env fil (using python manage.py clear_cache) -
In Django, is it possible to use reverse/redirect with a view function (not string) as a to parameter, when using namespaces?
I'm trying to get reverse (via redirect) to work in the context of namespaces and when using view functions. This fails with a NoReverseMatch, somewhat to my surprise. In principle, I'd say that it's out-figurable in an automatic way what I mean. When using this without app_name = ... this works fine. Is this a bug (or simply unsupported)? Or is there a way it could be made to work? # urls.py from django.urls import path from .views import some_other_view, some_view app_name = 'foo_app' # here the app namespace is defined urlpatterns = [ path('some_other_view/', some_other_view), path('some_view/', some_view), # ... ] # views.py from django.shortcuts import redirect def some_other_view(request): return redirect(some_view) # note that the view is simply passed as a function here, not as a string. def some_view(request): # ... actual view here -

Django and django-mssql - problem with rendering ForeignKey field in ModelForm
In my Django application I would like to use 2 databases. First (default one) - sqlite3 and second MS SQL. Since Django don't support MsSQL I'm forced to use 3rd party django-mssql package. I have model with ForeignKey and ModelForm based on this model. The problem is that I get an error "no such table: TLC_OWDP_InstructionParameters" while trying to render ForeignKey form field. It looks like django tries to find the table in wrong database. I tried use PostgreSQL instead of MS SQL and everything works fine. Could someone please help me with this issue?

Containerized Django application works on local, but not on GKE
Any containerized Django applications work in local, but only return "no healthy upstream" when run on GKE.

Error when starting Django React app with npm start: "Invalid options object" ( 'Something is already running on port 5432' )

Django admin: exclude values from dropdown while keeping existing value
I have a site with conference rankings, where FoR codes are one of the fields. The database includes old FoR codes that are no longer used. I'd like to exclude these codes from the dropdown menu of the change form on the admin site, as it takes some scrolling to reach the current codes (screenshot). I tried excluding the old codes by overriding formfield_for_foreignkey, as seen in the below code snippet. However, if a conference entry with an old code is opened in the admin site, then the FoR code dropdown is cleared (screenshot). Is it possible to exclude the old FoR codes while still preserving the FoR code for old entries? In the example I linked above (1, 2), I want to preserve the 0905 code for this old entry, while only showing the current codes for new entries. class RankInline(admin.TabularInline): model = Rank extra = 1 def formfield_for_foreignkey(self, db_field, request, **kwargs): if db_field.name == "for": kwargs["queryset"] = ForCode.objects.filter(code__startswith="46") return super(RankInline, self).formfield_for_foreignkey(db_field, request, **kwargs) class CommentInLine(admin.TabularInline): model = Comment extra = 0 class ConferenceAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin): list_display = ("acronym", "title", "url") list_display_links = ("acronym", "title", "url") search_fields = ("acronym", "title", "url") inlines = (RankInline, CommentInLine) -
How to connect from mobile phone to the localhost
I am developing a website on Django, the local version is run by development server (python manage.py runserver) on localhost. I can test my site in a browser, the address is http://127.0.0.1:8000/. But now I need to see how my website is looking on the mobile phone. My laptop OS is Linux Mint, the phone OS is Android, both are connected to the WiFi router. I tried this recipe. I found out my WLAN IP (by the command ifconfig), which happens to be 192.168.0.104. By the recipe, I should enter the address together with port number, which is, apparently, 8000 (according to the development server port, see the paragraph 1), so I should see my local website by the address 192.168.0.104:8000, both from the laptop and the phone browser. However, in both devices I get a following error (translated to English): Can not connect. Firefox cannot establish a connection to the server at 192.168.0.104:8000.

Javascript: Input value on fields and show value on popup
I have a registration form. After filling up the forms, the reference number will display in popup. A reminder for the user to use for logging in the system. register.html <div>Reference No.<input type="text" name="refno" value="{{ refno }}" readonly></div> <div>Name<input type="text" name="name"></div> ... <button type="submit" id="getInputValue()" class="btn">Submit</button> this is my script function getInputValue() { let textElement = document.getElementById('refno').value; alert(textElement); views.py if request.method == 'GET': random_chars = ''.join(random.choices(string.ascii_uppercase + string.digits, k=8)) refno = f"{random_chars}" return render(request, 'registration_form.html', {"refno": refno}) if request.method == 'POST': refno = request.POST.get('refno') name = request.POST.get('name') ... Applicant.objects.create(refno=refno, name=name, ...) return redirect(/user_login/) So after the button was clicked, the msg should display the reference number before it proceed to the login form. So I'm a bit confused on how to show the popup first before login. If I write return render(request, 'registration_form.html'), it will just return to the form. With this code I have, it doesn't even show a pop up. Thank you in advance.
