django remove unwanted user fields in models using AbstractUser
I'm a beginner in django and I'm working on user authentication. I'm using Abstractuser and default User model to create the users. However, there a lot of unnecessary information being gathered that is of no use to my project. This is my models.py: from django.db import models from django.contrib.auth.models import AbstractUser class User(AbstractUser): pass These are the fields that are generated: ('id', models.BigAutoField(auto_created=True, primary_key=True, serialize=False, verbose_name='ID')), ('password', models.CharField(max_length=128, verbose_name='password')), ('last_login', models.DateTimeField(blank=True, null=True, verbose_name='last login')), ('is_superuser', models.BooleanField(default=False, help_text='Designates that this user has all permissions without explicitly assigning them.', verbose_name='superuser status')), ('username', models.CharField(error_messages={'unique': 'A user with that username already exists.'}, help_text='Required. 150 characters or fewer. Letters, digits and @/./+/-/_ only.', max_length=150, unique=True, validators=[django.contrib.auth.validators.UnicodeUsernameValidator()], verbose_name='username')), ('first_name', models.CharField(blank=True, max_length=150, verbose_name='first name')), ('last_name', models.CharField(blank=True, max_length=150, verbose_name='last name')), ('email', models.EmailField(blank=True, max_length=254, verbose_name='email address')), ('is_staff', models.BooleanField(default=False, help_text='Designates whether the user can log into this admin site.', verbose_name='staff status')), ('is_active', models.BooleanField(default=True, help_text='Designates whether this user should be treated as active. Unselect this instead of deleting accounts.', verbose_name='active')), ('date_joined', models.DateTimeField(default=django.utils.timezone.now, verbose_name='date joined')), ('groups', models.ManyToManyField(blank=True, help_text='The groups this user belongs to.

How can I add an element to a profile in django without getting 'Page not found at /post'?
I'm trying to add a 'favorite' anime to my profile in django but when I post my form it says 'Page not found at /post'. The code does get the anime's id but then it doesn't add it to my profile and instead takes me to /post. How can I fix this? This is my view of the 'anime': @login_required def anime(request): if request.method == "POST": anime_id = request.POST.get("anime_id") anime = Anime.objects.get(id = anime_id) request.user.profile.animes.add(anime) messages.success(request,(f'{anime} added to wishlist.')) return redirect ('search:anime') animes = Anime.objects.all() return render(request = request, template_name="search.html") This is the part of html related to this: {% if animes %} {% for anime in animes %} <form action="post"> <section> <div class="col-md-4 col-sm-6 col-lg-3"> <div class="card"> <div class="card-body text-center"> <p class="card-title"> <b>{{anime.Title}}</b></p> <hr> <p class="card-text">Episodes: <b>{{anime.Episodes}}</b></p> <img src = {{anime.Image}} /> </div> </section> <input type="hidden" value="{{anime.Id}}" name="anime_id"> <button type="submit" class="btn btn-outline-primary" style="font-size:18px; border-radius: 50%">★</button> </form> {% endfor %} {% endif %} This is the url it goes to after I post the form: /post?anime_id=18507 It should just add it to the profile and redirects me to the search page but it doesn't. -
Django model order by model method or calculation on model fields
I have a Django Model, OrderItem class OrderItem(models.Model): order = models.ForeignKey(Order, on_delete=models.CASCADE, related_name='order_line') quantity = models.PositiveIntegerField(default=1) title = models.CharField(max_length=100) order_number = models.CharField(max_length=25, null=True, blank=True, verbose_name='Order Number') order_date = models.DateField(auto_now_add=True) dispatch_date = models.DateField(auto_now_add=True) cancel_date = models.DateField(auto_now_add=True) I have a model function that calculates the days between today and the OrderItem order_date or dispatch_date and order_date def get_aging(self): today = datetime.today().date() if self.dispatch_date is not None: aging = self.dispatch_date - self.order_date return aging.days elif self.cancel_date is not None: return 0 else: aging = today - self.order_date return aging.days I want to order the OrderItems by the same calc. I have tried to use the python sort but I can't apply the django FilterSet on the list created by the python sorted method. This is the code in my view, I am using a custom template as I allow for inline editing of the data. order_qs = OrderItem.objects.all() sorted_qs sorted(order_qs, key= lambda a: a.get_aging()) user_filter_orders = OrderItemsFilter(request.GET, queryset=order_qs) The error because of the sorted method returning a list: 'list' object has no attribute 'model' Any suggestions, please? -
Integrating django-cms into an existing project - Error: Reverse for 'pages-root' not found. 'pages-root' is not a valid view function or pattern name
I am trying to add news functionality to an existing django project. I decided to use django-cms to provide the functionality. The documentation is lacking and what little there is, is next to useless, in terms of integrating django-cms into an existing project. I have looked at this question and this one but the offered answers only take me so far. What I want to do is to be able to have pages with static data, and use django-cms to allow users with the right permissions to create new pages and/or update existing pages. At the moment, when I run python manage.py runserver and I navigate to http://127.0.0.1:8000/news/1/, I get the following error message: NoReverseMatch at /news/1/ Reverse for 'pages-root' not found.

Django REST Framework field serializer validation is not being called
After some hours of research, I still can't find the answer to the issue I am facing. I am trying to add some simple validation to a field in one of my models. In serializers.py: class BrandSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer): class Meta: model = Brand fields = '__all__' def validate_name(self, value): """ Check that the brand name has at least 20 characters """ if len(value) < 20: raise serializers.ValidationError( "The name of the brand should be longer than 20 characters") return value I am using function based views: @api_view(['POST']) def brandCreate(request): data = request.data try: brand = Brand.objects.create( name=data['name'], ) serializer = BrandSerializer(brand, many=False) return Response(serializer.data) except: message = {'detail': 'Brand is not created'} return Response(message, status=status.HTTP_400_BAD_REQUEST) And this is my model: class Brand(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=80) logo = models.ImageField(null=True, blank=True) def __str__(self): return str(self.name) After sending a POST request with postman, the record is successfully created, even though the name is shorter than 20 characters! Any hints on what I am missing here? Thank you! -

how to migrate django database after model change?
I have model M1. it had a field F1 of type IntegerField. I created a number of items and filled their F1 with numbers. Then I created new model M2 and changed F1 to be ForeignKey to M2. makemigrations worked fine. But migrate doesn't work - since it can't find M2 items corresponding to old F1 int values. Moreover I can't delete M1 items through shell - attempt to get Objects.all() result in same error. How can I delete "problematic" items of M1 without flushing database? -
In Django, how do I write a query that filters a date column by a specific day of the week?

I have the following query to give me the articles created in a particular date range ... qset = Article.objects.filter( created_day__gte=start_date, created_day__lte=end_date ) What I would like to add is a clause to specify the number of articles created in a date range that were also created on a specific day of the week (e.g. Monday), where the days of the week are represented by integers (0 = Monday, 1 = Tuesday, ... 6 = Sunday). How do I add a clause that would also filter by the day of the week? -
Django requirements.txt file conditional to distinguish between development and production

Is there a way to achieve conditions in the requirements file to distinguish between heroku to docker ? -

Django: included login form reloading when there are errors
I'm building a Django app where I show a landing page if there's no user logged in, and I display the login form within that page. I've followed these setup steps to get going, and then I added a context processor so I could display the login form within my landing page view, and I added it to the context_processors list in settings.py. All of that is working great! I can successfully log someone in, or if I give a wrong password I get the message that the credentials aren't right. The problem: in the case where I give a wrong password and fail authentication, the website reloads the login form on its own with the message to the user (so the user's going to another page). How I can display the error message from within that same landing page where the form is originally displayed? (Note: I'm using the default Django authentication and haven't done anything yet to define any special behavior) landing.html: {% block content %} Some welcome message! {% include "registration/login.html"%} Some other contents {% endblock content %} context_processors.py: def include_login_form(request): from django.contrib.auth.forms import AuthenticationForm form = AuthenticationForm() return {'form': form} Login.html: {% extends 'familytree/base.html' %} {% … -

How to manage cpu and memory with django channels

How can I go about creating a web app for people to reserve a duration of time(1hr) in a day for a gym related website
So I have been studying python for a good amount of time and am learning django. I have also learned basics of html/css/javascirpt. Here is my idea: I want to create a web application for a local gym where subscribers are able to login, and because of covid, people are required to reserve the time they want to workout at, so how can I go about doing the following things: How can I make the logic for people to be able to reserve a duration of time and of course there should be a limit of people that can workout during the same time, say 30 people in a given hour, so the website should disable allowing other users to reserve that time. I am not sure how to implement the logic of RESERVATION if anyone has any idea, so should there be a model containing all the days of the year or what. This part is a big confusion of mine How can i make it possible to make that users are given a username and password to login as there shouldn't be a sign up page, because only paid subscribers should be able to login and reserve, so … -

I use a PageModel to represent a "Lesson": # courses/models.py class SectionLessonPage(Page): lesson_video = models.ForeignKey('wagtailvideos.Video', related_name='+', null=True, on_delete=models.SET_NULL) content_panels = Page.content_panels + [ VideoChooserPanel('lesson_video'), ] def serve(self, request): if request.user.is_authenticated: lesson_viewed_signal.send(self.__class__, instance=self, request=request) return super().serve(request) And I have a separate 'progress' app, which receives a signal from the serve function to record a page visit by a specific user. # progress/models.py class UserLessonView(models.Model): lesson = models.ForeignKey( 'courses.SectionLessonPage', null=True, blank=True, on_delete=models.CASCADE, related_name="views" ) user = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE) viewed_on = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True) This establishes a one-to-many relationship between the two models. However, the current logged in user is not taken into account when in the template I try to obtain the SectionLessonPage's 'views' for the logged in user. Since the current user is not a field of SectionLessonPage, there is no model relationship to use. Instead possibly this needs to be handled in the get_context() or serve() method of SectionLessonPage. The problem is that the when I call {{ self.views }} on the SectionLessPage template, it returns all views for all users. I need it to return the views only for the current user. How can I pass … -
Django Error on terminal "ValueError: source code string cannot contain null bytes"
Django project was working fine. Now it gives me this ValueError when I'm attempting to run the server. Been searching for a solution for the past 3 days, but I'm stuck. Many solutions say I must just convert the files to UTF-8. But how do I do that? Which file do I have to convert? I'm using the Atom Editor, which saves all files in UTF-8. This is from my terminal: Terminal -

Does Django differentiate btw jpg and png files when processing static files?
Does Django differentiate between jpg and png files when processing static files? Specifically, when a jpg file is in the static directory (vs. in the static/media directory)? In my case: the jpg image doesn't load in <img src="{% static 'weather.jpg' %}" alt="">, but the png image does in the same url: <img src="{% static 'doggie.png' %}" alt="">. But both the png and jpg images load if they are in the static/media directory--which led me to wonder whether jpg files must be in a media folder: <img src="{% static 'media/doggie3.png' %}" alt=""> and <img src="{% static 'media/weather.jpg' %}" alt=""> Here's how 'static' is setup in settings.py file (ok: I admit The code is cobbled together, but at least one type of static file is loading): STATIC_URL = '/static/' STATIC_ROOT = Path.joinpath(BASE_DIR, 'static') MEDIA_URL ='/media/' MEDIA_ROOT = Path.joinpath(BASE_DIR, 'media') And in urls.py: urlpatterns = [ ... ] + static(settings.STATIC_URL, document_root=settings.STATIC_ROOT) urlpatterns += [ path('accounts/', include('django.contrib.auth.urls')), ... ] + static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT) -
