Get unique outputs from combining more than one Django filters
So, I am trying to create a search engine on my website where the user enters a query and I display those results where the query exists inside the product name or description. My product model is as follows:- '''Product model to store the details of all the products''' class Product(models.Model): # Define the fields of the product model name = models.CharField(max_length=100) price = models.IntegerField(default=0) quantity = models.IntegerField(default=0) description = models.CharField(max_length=200, default='', null=True, blank=True) image = models.ImageField(upload_to='uploads/images/products') category = models.ForeignKey(Category, on_delete=models.CASCADE, default=1) # Foriegn key with Category Model store = models.ForeignKey(Store, on_delete=models.CASCADE, default=1) Now, I have created a search filter where I filter by name and then by description and then combine the results to return a queryset. The issue is that sometimes the query can be found in names and in descriptions so I get repeated entries like this My filtering code is mentioned below:- names = queryset.filter(name__icontains=search_query) descriptions = queryset.filter(description__icontains=search_query) queryset = list(chain(names, descriptions)) return Response(ProductSerializer(queryset, many = True).data) I want to be able to only get one result since it's the same product. Is there a way I can only save the distinct results in query set. I made a loop which checks the results in descriptions … -
Python+Django : Bug in code looking for a 2nd insight
I have a function with the following code: if request.method == 'POST': company_id = request.POST.get('company_id') choice_list = request.POST.getlist('info[]') response = read_csv_lines(choice_list,company_id) print(response) choice list contains numbers selected in a list. For example [2,3] and the ID of a dropdown box This one goes to the following function (read_csv_lines) def read_csv_lines(my_list,company_id): test_file = './upload.csv' company = Company.objects.get(id=company_id) with open(test_file) as csv_file: file_reader = list(csv.reader(csv_file, delimiter=';')) for i in my_list: i = int(i) deviceinf = file_reader[i] status = add_device(deviceinf,company.auth_token,company.company_name) I get the info from the company cause i need these to make an api call in a seperate function i open the file read every line but all lines in a list and for the value i I read the line in the list of read lines. And pass this trough to my API call. What happens next is the bug. When i launch a POST the following thing happens: It enters the read_csv_lines. jumps right back out and print as response "None" but the other calls keep on going and the api call in the background executes Could someone look into this as a 2nd opinion ? -

ORDER BY not allowed in subqueries of compound statements; union queryset
I'm trying to create a listing page of all the questions posted that share the same type of tags a single user has used in their own questions. In other words, if a User has only posted questions about Python and OOP, they would only see questions that shared either one or both of those tags. Upon trying to implement this, I tried to use the .union() queryset to add the different filtered querysets together. However the following error is raised: ORDER BY not allowed in subqueries of compound statements. I found a similar issue raised here and it mentions how the method may be incompatible with SQLite which is the database I'm using: error "ORDER BY not allowed in subqueries of compound statements". In django while using Union function Is there another means of trying to overcome this error and getting the expected result that doesn't user the .union() queryset? models.py class Question(models.Model): title = models.CharField(max_length=50) body = models.TextField() dated = models.DateField(default=date.today) vote_tally = models.IntegerField(default=0) user_account = models.ForeignKey( 'users.UserAccount', on_delete=models.SET_NULL, null=True, blank=True, related_name="questions" ) tags = models.ManyToManyField(Tag, related_name='questions') objects = models.Manager() dateranges = DateRangeQuerySet.as_manager() status = QuestionStatusQuerySet.as_manager() class Meta: ordering = ['-dated'] default_manager_name = "objects" def __str__(self): return self.title … -

What is the correct way to implement Django password history?
I have implemented a solution for checking a new password against the last 5 passwords like so: Created 5 fields in a user profile table to store the encrypted passwords On creating a new user, I stored the initial password in encrypted form in all the 5 fields On reset, I changed the views.py from Lib>django>contrib>auth directory from my virtual environment like so: def form_valid(self, form): #all initial code to get the keys etc goes here newpwd = form.cleaned_data['new_password2'] #get the unencrypted passwords from history p1 = cipher.decrypt(b64decode(user.pwd1)) p2 = cipher.decrypt(b64decode(user.pwd2)) p3 = cipher.decrypt(b64decode(user.pwd3)) p4 = cipher.decrypt(b64decode(user.pwd4)) p5 = cipher.decrypt(b64decode(user.pwd5)) #check if the password is already used and redirect with error message if newpwd == p1 or newpwd == p2 or newpwd == p3 or newpwd == p4 or newpwd == p5: messages.error(self.request, _('New Password should be different from old password')) return redirect('password_change') else: #store the password in the password history user.pwd5=user.pwd4 user.pwd4=user.pwd3 user.pwd3=user.pwd2 user.pwd2=user.pwd1 user.pwd1=newpwd user.save() form.save() messages.error(self.request,'Password Changed Successfully') return redirect('/user/login') form.save() # Updating the password logs out all other sessions for the user # except the current one. update_session_auth_hash(self.request, form.user) return super().form_valid(form) This works fine.

How do I properly type annotate ForeignKey for Django Mixins?
I would like to use this solution to annotate mixins for models. So I need ForeignKey: from django.db import models class MultiplicatorMixin(models.Model): foo: models.ForeignKey def multiply(self, m: int) -> int: return self.foo.value * m Please note that foo: models.ForeignKey works. However, I want the type of the foreign key as well. So I need something like foo: models.ForeignKey[Foo]. Is it possible to also give the information to which type the foreign key belongs? -

Migrating Django app to use online media storage
I have a Django app running on a server. Currently user uploads are stored on the server filesystem. I already know how to set up S3 storage. What is the best way to migrate existing uploads to S3 without breaking the API and having existing uploads still available? These files are served to the front end in two ways: Directly through a /media/path/to/upload endpoint: /media/<path> django.views.static.serve Through a viewset: /api/v1/users/<user_pk>/items/<item_pk>/attachments/<pk>/ project.app.views.ItemAttachmentsViewSet Does the following make sense: Change the storage backend Go through all model objects Save each model object to get the files uploaded Have /media/path go to a new view that will serve the files similar to how ItemAttachmentsViewSet does it. ? Or is there a better way? -

For login, request provides user details in Django
I am trying to create a Django todo app by using the Django rest framework where I ran into this problem. I am authenticating the user via the rest framework so that I am able to get an authentication token, for the user. My views.py... def login(request): print("\n\n", request, "\n\n") if request.method == "POST": username = request.POST.get('username') password = request.POST.get('password') user = authenticate(username=username, password=password) if user is not None: login(user) response = requests.post("http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/login/", data={"username":username, "password":password}) token = json.loads(response.text).get("token") request.session["token"] = f"Token {token}" request.session.modified = True # r = requests.get("http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/", headers={"Authorization":request.session["token"]}) return redirect("home") else: return render(request, "todo/login.html", {"message":"Your entered credentials are wrong"}) else: return render(request, "todo/login.html") In which I have figured that when my user input is invalid, the request parameter carries the value <WSGIRequest: POST '/login'>. But when the user input is valid the request parameter carries my user details (the value najaaz - my username). This output was figured out using the print statement in line 2. Since it carries my user details I get the following error 'User' object has no attribute 'method', since the line if request.method == "POST": would be invalid then. This is something new for me, and I am a bit unsure of how … -
