How can I schedule a task in my djnago amazon product tracking project?
I am working on a web-app project with Django. It is an Amazon product price tracker. I want the app to automatically scrape products in the product table to check if the price of the product has reduced or not. I want to deploy the application once it is finished so it should work there too. I looked for answered online but it seems that cronjobs and celery do not work for windows so is there any other ways I can achieve my goals. I have created a function that needs to be executed once every day. This is the function I want to execute every 24 hours. def track(): products = Product.objects.all() for product in products: new_data = getproduct(product.link) update_data(product, new_data) I have tried the schedule library: import schedule import time from .models import Product from .utils import getproduct schedule.every().day.at("12:00").do(track) here getproduct is the method which scrapes the product data and product is the model -
Django Rest Framework deployed under subdirectory proxy
I'm trying to deploy a small API using a subdirectory on the server. Usually if I do the following config it works fine: location /iframe/api/ { proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8001; proxy_set_header Host $http_host; proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto https; client_max_body_size 0; } The funny thing is that for static files it seems to work, because I get back proper styling for the rest framework, but for every single urlpattern it also transfers the iframe/api which isn't ideal and basically not a single API route is matched. I tried to add proxy_redirect off but still no avail. Any idea why isn't this working as expected? How should I deploy a rest framework API under a sub-directory? -

Django admin suddenly starts throwing crbug/1173575
I am building a backend that I administrate using the django-admin view. I have a prod version that runs on a server using nginx, which works as expected (using Gunicorn). Starting yesterday, developping locally has become impossible because when I try to access Django's dev server (started using python manage.py runserver) I get the error "The site can't be reached" (crbug/1173575, non-JS module files deprecated.) as in this post. This never happened before, and because I am not directly using Angular, I can't use the solution described in the post. I did a pip freeze both locally and on the prod server, and the output is the same, which means I did not install a parasite package. It seems to me that the django-admin website is using some deprecated js modules that is now no longer accepted by browsers. It is worth mentionning that I tried to access the dev server using both Mozilla Firefox 78.10.0 and Google Chrome 90.0.4430.93. -
how to past list to template
I am trying to pass this eligable list to my template so that I can display it in my website but when I run the website it says that local variable 'eligable' referenced before assignment.

Admin page not loading in Django
I have a new app, which works fine, i can load all my new pages and navigate without any problem. But when i try to access the admin dashboard, i have an error 500. I am new to Django (from Railsd) and would appreciate some help, as i do not see any error log. My setup is as follow: Settings.Py INSTALLED_APPS = [ 'djangoformsetjs', 'widget_tweaks', 'django.contrib.admin', 'django.contrib.auth', 'django.contrib.contenttypes', 'django.contrib.sessions', 'django.contrib.messages', 'django.contrib.staticfiles', 'django_hosts', 'rest_framework', 'djoser', 'app' # Enable the inner app ] STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static') STATIC_URL = '/static/' # Extra places for collectstatic to find static files.

You must either define the environment variable DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE or call settings.configure() before accessing settings.

Why does my django url pattern not accept paths starting with "api/payments/"?
I have an app with a payment module, when I use the path "api/payments/" for this module, requests from the front-end do not hit the api, however, when i change the module url path to something else e.g. 'api/collections/' all methods in the module work fine. What could the issue be with that specific url path? -
How to send different message on same group for different users in django channels
I am trying to build a real-time ticket reservation app so I want to display the real time seat booking status to users. For example; I have user1 and user2 connected to a group reservation-1 Now when the user1 selects the ticket in group reservation-1 the seat status will be converted to selected and the message should be broadcasted to all the users connected to the same group with the status of unavailable for that particular seat. But for user1 it should be the status of selected. My code implementation for JavaScript: const socket = new WebSocket('ws://${window.location.host}/ws/reservation-1'); // This is an event when user select the seat socket.send(JSON.stringify({ "event": "SELECT", "seat": "seat_id" })); // This is an event when user deselect the seat socket.send(JSON.stringify({ "event": "DESELECT", "seat": "seat_id" })); socket.onmessage = function(e) { const data = JSON.parse(e.data); // code logic to update the seat based on return values of seat status. } My Django server-side consumer code using django-channels: import json from asgiref.sync import async_to_sync from channels.generic.websocket import WebsocketConsumer class ReservationConsumer(WebsocketConsumer): def connect(self): self.chat_group_name = 'reservation-1' async_to_sync(self.channel_layer.group_add)( self.reservation_group_name, self.channel_name ) self.accept() def disconnect(self, close_code): async_to_sync(self.channel_layer.group_discard)( self.reservation_group_name, self.channel_name ) def receive(self, text_data): data = json.loads(text_data) user = self.scope['user'] event = data['event'] … -
Sjango - Saving updated information to existing user
I'm creating a multi-step user form for registration. The idea behind it, is when the user registers, it gets their registration information. Then, it saves the users information. In the registration form, if the user selected a certain option (rank = 'Anak'), they are redirected to a base form that obtains the tribe name. What I want it to do, is save the tribe name into that users account that was just created, but I am having trouble doing this since there is no save() function for base forms in Django. forms.py class RegisterForm(UserCreationForm): email = forms.EmailField( initial='', required=True, help_text='Please enter a valid email address' ) rank = forms.ChoiceField( label='Are you a PSMC member?', choices=SavBlock.models.User.rank, initial=False, required=True, help_text='Member accounts will be validated with your HC.', ) class Meta: model = User # username = models.ForeignKey(settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL, on_delete=models.CASCADE) fields = ['username', 'first_name', 'last_name', 'email', 'rank', 'password1', 'password2'] def save(self, commit=True): user = super(RegisterForm, self).save(commit=False) user.email = self.cleaned_data['email'] user.ranking = self.cleaned_data['rank'] if commit: user.save() return user class AnakRegisterForm(Form): tribe = forms.ChoiceField( label='What tribe are you from, Uce?', choices=SavBlock.models.Anak.tribe, initial=False, required=True, help_text='Member accounts will be validated with your HC.' ) class Meta: model = Anak fields = ['tribe'] def save(self, commit=True): user = super(RegisterForm, … -

Get all details from serializers.PrimaryKeyRelatedField in django
So I have my family serializer like below class FamilySerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer): members = serializers.PrimaryKeyRelatedField( many=True, queryset=Parishioner.objects.all(), allow_null=True ) class Meta: model = Family fields = ('id', 'name', 'address', 'monthly_contribution', 'members', 'enabled') read_only_fields = ('id',) depth = 1 Family can have multiple Parishioners so it's One to Many relationship. When I send a GET request to /api/family/1/ I get below response { "id": 1, "name": "Mendis Family test", "address": "No 48, Katukurunda, Moratuwa", "monthly_contribution": 50.0, "members": [ "1", "2" ], "enabled": true } as you can see in members array I can see only id of the members. How can I get all data of member within that array (NOT just the id. name, address, etc..) ? I tried changing depth = 1 to many numbers but it did NOT do the trick. -

Use dictionary value from if in statement
I have a need for an If/Else statement in my Django (3.1.5) template check if a value exists in a dictionary (very popular concept). My challenge here is now trying to use the value from the dictionary it matched on. I know i can use a for loop and then use another if to match again when that value exists but i am wondering if there is a shorter way to do what i am looking for. For example, in my template i have 2 query sets, config and user_settings that i pass to the template. What i do is check if the name from the config exists in the user_setting dictionary, then I use the config details in a form. What I want to do is take the "total" field from user_settings dictionary that matched on the if in statement. In the below code the, the piece i am talking about is on line 6 value='{{user_setting.total}}'. This clearly doesn't work but can i do something like that to reduce the amount of code? {% for c in config %} {% if c.location == 'Dashboard' %} {% if c.name in user_settings.all %} <div class="form-group col-md-6"> <label for="{{c.web_friendly_name}}">{{c.name}}</label> <input class="form-control" data-type="dashboard" … -
