Custom Django admin: unable to assign users to a group because of field rendering
I'm currently working on a Django app on which I have created a custom admin section (i know of the existing default admin section, but could not use it). The "admin" of the website should be able to CRUD users and assign them to a group (either "admin" or "manager" group). I'm having difficulties upon CRUD users on assigning them to either group, because the rendering of the group field. I have to highlight the group I want to put the user in, but upon saving the user is not assigned to the group chosen. I'm guessing I will have to put this field in some sort of widget but I'm unable to find the solution.

How to synchronise on-page requests with testing framework in django & selenium

Chrome hitting my Django backend but I only made an iOS app
So I have a Django backend deployed on Google App Engine. This backend supports an iOS app. In my server logs I can see all the requests coming in and where they were made. It used to be that I would only get requests from Joon/7.** (which is the iOS app name + version). However, recently I've been getting requests from Chrome 72 which doesn't make sense cause the app shouldn't be able to be used on Chrome. Furthermore these requests are creating a lot of errors in my backend because it is not sending an authentication token. Does anyone know what is going on here? Are my servers being hacked? -

How to filter a template table on field from a many to many related model in Django using django-filters?
I am trying to create a filter using a reverse many-to-many relationship using django-tables2 and django-filters. I can get a filter for the many-to-many object, but I want to be filter on one of the fields in the related table. How is it that I can do this? example models: class Author(models.Model): articles = models.ManyToManyField(Article,blank=True) age = models.IntegerField() hometown = models.ForeignKey(Town,on_delete=models.CASCADE,null=True,blank=True) @property def articles(self): return ', '.join(art.title for art in self.articles.all()) class Article(models.Model): title = models.CharField(max_length=255, blank=True) publication_date = models.DateField() published = models.BooleanField(default=False) class AuthorTable(tables.Table): articles = tables.columns.Column(accessor='articles') class Meta: model = Author attrs = { 'class': 'table table-responsive table-striped', 'thead' : { 'class': 'thead-dark' } } class AuthorFilter(django_filters.FilterSet): class Meta: model = Author fields = ["articles", "age", "hometown"] This gives me a filter that looks like: Articles: ( Object 1 ) ( Object 2 ) ( Object 3 ) How to I get it to filter on articles which have been published or articles which have a certain publication date?

How would I dynamically clone a site and apply custom css to it?
So my school has a "portal"; a site with heaps of resources for the students and teachers. Only downside is that it is really, really badly designed and runs on HTML4. I have some decent web design skills and I want to try and improve it. I have asked if I could directly edit it and I was very quickly shut down. So how would I go about cloning the site while applying custom CSS? While doing an iframe seems like a great idea to start with, it is quickly stopped by CORS. You can't apply custom CSS to an iframe with an origin of a different domain. I could just download the site's source code and write custom CSS for that, but that way it won't update when new content is updated. I am happy to play around with django/flask if needed since I have a lot of experience with python and if it works, I can create a downloadable app using react or something. Anyone got any ideas? -

run ajax call to get form submitting data first, then run the following JavaScript
I have build a Django web app. In the frontend, I want to run the ajax call to get the form submitting data first, then run the following JavaScript to process according to the real time data passed from backend. <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-2.1.0.min.js"></script> async function myFunction() { Swal.fire({ title: '', text: "Do you want to confirm entries?", type: 'warning', showCancelButton: true, confirmButtonColor: '#3085d6', cancelButtonColor: '#d33', confirmButtonText: 'Yes', cancelButtonText: 'No' }).then((result) => { if (result.value) { $("#myform").submit(); $.ajax({ url: '127.0.0.1:8000/content_checklist_name_url', type: 'get', // This is the default though, you don't actually need to always mention it success: function(data) { alert(data); }, failure: function(data) { alert('Got an error dude'); } }); const result = await if (data.includes('saved')) { Swal.fire( '', 'Entries have been saved.', 'success' ) } else { Swal.fire( '', 'Duplicate Entry. This Course Code already exists.', 'error') } } else { window.stop(); } }) } But the error shows: await is only valid in async function. How could I run ajax to get the data(form submitting result) from backend first then run the if condition: if (data.includes('saved'))? So I could do different pop up from the results passed from backend in real time. -
Django Celery Dynamic Schedule
