Serving static images in Django development
this is a commonly asked question so I am not sure why I can't get this to work. Foremost, here is the file structure of my project: -blog -templates - - about.html -media -static - -css - -img - - profile_pic - -js ... I have gone through the process of configuring my settings.py to serve static files during development by adding the following: STATIC_URL = '/static/' and STATICFILES_DIRS = [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static',), ] into my settings.py file. In my about.html, I place the {% load static %} tag at the top of the page, then I attempt to load my image by calling the tag like so: <img class = "card-img-top" src="{% static 'img/profile_pic'%}" alt="My profile picture"> Nothing appears. The logs state "GET /static/img/profile_pic HTTP/1.1" 404 1671 So the file isn't loading at all. Could this be a problem with my filepaths? -
How to specify the user in the blog post in django?
I'm quite new in django, and here is my question: I have a django model (like posts in blog with a form) -> class Product(models.Model): asset_name = models.CharField(verbose_name='Название актива', max_length=50) asset_sector = models.CharField(verbose_name='Отрасль', max_length=50) asset_price = models.DecimalField(verbose_name='Цена', max_digits=10, decimal_places=2) author = models.ForeignKey(settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL, on_delete=models.CASCADE) and here is field called author, I have an authorization and i need the next: when the user add his post, the post would automatically choose the author (current user) Now my model don't add anyone, just give the possibility to choose here to see the screenshot of django admin imports: from django.db import models from backend import settings model of User class CustomUser(AbstractUser): balance = models.DecimalField(max_digits=10, decimal_places=1, null=True, default=0) email = models.EmailField(blank=True, null=True) username = models.CharField(unique=True, max_length=150) USERNAME_FIELD = 'username' def __str__(self): return self.username form of adding the post class ProductForm(ModelForm): class Meta: model = Product fields = ['asset_name', 'asset_sector', 'asset_price', ] widgets = { "asset_name": TextInput(attrs={ 'class':'form-control', 'placeholder': 'Название актива', }), "asset_sector": TextInput(attrs={ 'class': 'form-control', 'placeholder': 'Отрасль', }), "asset_price": NumberInput(attrs={ 'class': 'form-control', 'placeholder': 'Цена', }), } -

Nginx https not redirecting on iphone and macos's browser chrome
I just screwed up with this problem for last 4 days and i posted about it on stackoverflow 3 times, no one couldn't solve the problem. I dont know if it is possible to solve. My server is working very well with https and redireting http to https when i type example.com. it is working on all devices except ios/macos. I don't know whats wrong with my configuration. Can anyone help me to fix this. this is my current configuration server { listen 443 ssl; server_name example.com www.example.com; ssl_protocols TLSv1.2 TLSv1.1 TLSv1; ssl_certificate /etc/certs/example_com.crt; ssl_certificate_key /etc/certs/definesys.key; location = /favicon.ico { access_log off; log_not_found off; } location / { proxy_pass http://backend:80; } } # Redirext https server { if ($host = example.com) { return 301 https://$host$request_uri; } # managed by ssl server_name example.com; listen 80; return 301 https://$host$request_uri; } The isue only ios/macos.

Celery Tasks in Chain Starting Out Of Order
I am trying to implement some celery chains/groups/chords using django 3.0, celery 4.3, redis and python 3.6. From the documentation, I thought tasks in a group run in parallel, and tasks in a chain run sequentially, but I am not observing that behavior. I have this chain of task signatures: transaction.on_commit(lambda: chain(clean, group(chain(faces_1, faces_2), folder, hashes), change_state_task.si(document_id, 'ready')).delay()) where I expect the change_state_task to wait for all the other tasks to complete before it starts. This did not work, in that the change_state_task started before hashes finished. All the tasks ran and completed successfully. I then tried this chain: transaction.on_commit(lambda: chain(clean, faces_1, faces_2, folder, hashes, change_state_task.si(document_id, 'ready')).delay()) where all the signatures are in a long chain. However, the change_state_task is still starting before the hashes task finishes. I even tried using change_state_task.s(document_id, 'ready') (replaced si with s), thinking that the change_state_task could not start without the output of the hashes task. But it still starts before hashes ends. I then tried using task.s versus task.si for all the task signatures, and the change_state_task still started before the hashes task ended. What am I missing? Thanks! Mark -

django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured after using reverse()
I'm new in Django. Here is my issue. I'm trying to use reverse() function to add 'data-url' attribute to my form in my forms.py file in order to use it in my JavaScript then. But I run into the following exceptions: django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: The included URLconf 'orthodontist.urls' does not appear to have any patterns in it. If you see valid patterns in the file then the issue is probably caused by a circular import The thing is reverse() with the same url name works fine in my view.py file. Here is my code: forms.py class OrderByForm(forms.Form): order_by = forms.ChoiceField(required=False, choices=ORDER_BY, label='Сортировать по', widget=forms.Select(attrs={ 'class': 'form-control', 'data-url': reverse('ask:question_ajax') })) project urls from django.contrib import admin from django.urls import path, include from index import views from django.conf import settings from django.conf.urls.static import static urlpatterns = [ path('', views.index), path('signup/', views.signup, name='signup'), path('login/', views.login_view, name='login'), path('logout/', views.logout_view, name='logout'), path('user/<int:pk>/', views.UserView.as_view(), name='user'), path('user/<int:pk>/popular/', views.UserViewPopular.as_view(), name='user_popular'), path('user/<int:pk>/update/', views.UserViewUpdate.as_view(), name='update'), # path('user/<int:pk>/update_post', views.user_update_post, name='update_post'), path('admin/', admin.site.urls), path('search/', views.SearchResults.as_view(), name='search'), path('question/', include('ask.urls')), ] if bool(settings.DEBUG): urlpatterns += static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT) app urls from django.urls import path from . import views app_name = 'ask' urlpatterns = [ path('', views.AskView.as_view(), name='index'), path('<int:pk>/', views.QuestionDetail.as_view(), name='question'), path('ask/', views.AskQuestionView.as_view(), name='ask_question'), path('<int:pk>/delete_question/', views.delete_question, name='delete_question'), path('<int:pk>/delete_answer/', … -
Custom @property used as APIField is displayed correctly but can't be used for ordering the results
I have a model for a Normal Wagtail page, which has two fields, and a custom property like this: class DetailPage(AbstractSitePage): total = models.DecimalField(max_digits=12, decimal_places=2, null=True, blank=True) additional_amount = models.DecimalField( max_digits=12, decimal_places=2, null=True, blank=True, default=Decimal("0.00") ) content_panels = [ FieldPanel("additional_amount"), ] + AbstractSitePage.content_panels api_fields = [ APIField("additional_amount"), APIField("total"), APIField("new_total") ] class Meta: ordering = ("-total",) @property def new_total(self): if self.additional_amount: return str(self.total + self.additional_amount) return str(self.total) doing so makes the following URL works just fine and displays the new_total values correctly /api/v2/pages/?type=sitepages.DetailPage&fields=additional_amount,new_total&order=-total but if I try to order with the new_total property /api/v2/pages/?type=sitepages.DetailPage&fields=additional_amount,new_total&order=-new_total isn't it supposed to work since it's already displayed and computed correctly?? and what can I do about this? -

Django problems loading static files
I am trying to add external JS file to my Django project. Unfortunately it doesn't work while I am trying to add it in many ways: In my template.html I have specified direct path: {% load static %} < script> src="{% static 'commerce/static/js/test.js' %}" < /script> it doesn't work.

Django: No ReverseMatch. How to reverse to the previous URL?
I have a model class Client and the URL for this model object is <local_server>/object_id/ Where object_id is the id of the object of model Client. Now, when I am at this URL, there is a button on the page called Add Installment to add the installment for that particular Client. When I click on this button it takes me to the following URL: <local_server>/object_id/add_installment Now if I add the new installment, it works fine. But the Add Installment page has two buttons, Add and Cancel. I want that If I click on Cancel it should get back to the following URL: <local_server>/object_id/ And for that I have the following template for adding installment, where you can see the Cancel button. installment_form.html {% extends "client_management_system/base.html" %} {% load crispy_forms_tags %} {% block content %} <div class="content_section"> <form method="post"> {% csrf_token %} <fieldset class="form-group"> <legend class="border-bottom mb-4"> Add New Installment</legend> {{ form|crispy }} </fieldset> <div class="form-group"> <button class="btn btn-outline-success" type="submit">Add Installment</button> <a class="btn btn-outline-danger" type = "submit" href="{% url 'client_details' object.id %}" >Cancel</a> </div> </form> </div> {% endblock %} In the Cancel button, client_details is the name of the URL <local_server>/object_id.

Django only accepts base URL after deployed but not on local machine
My django URLs work just fine on local development, but only the base URL works deployed on a godaddy server. I'm running the django application through the cPanel Python Web Applications on Python 3.7.8 I know django is working and my code reaches a method in my views.py file when the URL is just www.mysite.com, for example wwww.mysite.com/page would yield a 500 error Views.py def index(request, *args, **kwargs): print("views.py in index()", request) return render(request, 'index.html') I use this method to route URLs through a react app I have, all of which works on local development. urls.py file for the project from django.contrib import admin from django.urls import path, include, re_path from django.conf.urls import url, include from rest_framework import routers from app import views from rest_framework_jwt.views import obtain_jwt_token from rest_framework_jwt.views import refresh_jwt_token from rest_framework_jwt.views import verify_jwt_token from django.views.generic import TemplateView router = routers.DefaultRouter() router.register(r'app', views.SessionView, 'app') router.register(r'project', views.ProjectView, 'project') urlpatterns = [ path('admin/', admin.site.urls), path('token-auth/', obtain_jwt_token), url(r'token-renew/', refresh_jwt_token), url(r'token-verify/', verify_jwt_token), path('api/', include(router.urls)), path(r'', include('app.urls')), path('', TemplateView.as_view(template_name = 'index.html')), #re_path('.*', TemplateView.as_view(template_name = 'index.html')), ] urls.py file for the app from .views import current_user, UserList, index from django.conf.urls import url from app import views urlpatterns = [ url(r'ViewSession/(?P<pk>[0-9]+)', index), path('ViewSessions', index), url(r'ViewProject/(?P<pk>[0-9]+)', index), … -
React JS: problem in receiving cookie with axios, which is received from JWT Django
First of all, I had made a POST APIView function using Django and added JWT token in it. This api is basically made for the login purpose.

How to pre-populate django forms at CreateView
how can i prepopulate fields in django forms at create an instance with the fields from my profile model. say if my Profile model has a Charfield residence and in the registration i named a certain user's residence as say 'Cairo', I would like to know how i can go to fill in a form say a PostCreateForm and have the residence of a user get auto filled with Cairo and also make it non-editable. Such that if a form is asking for Post body and residence of the owner of the post, this logged in user will be able to just enter the post body details and at the post details view, he can view his posts with his residence attached to them. I have tried implementing the form = PostForm(initial={"residence": "Cairo"}) kind of approach as per the documentation but i'm still getting it wrong. I tried it in my Views and in my form definition but seems i did it wrong. I need help on how i can implement this on the get requests of the CreateView or in the forms.py model definition. Any help will be greatly appreciated. -
Django Rest Framework Filtering an object in get_queryset method
Basically, I have a catalog viewset. In the list view I want to make a few filtering and return accordingly. Relevant Catalog model fields are: class Catalog(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=191, null=True, blank=False) ... team = models.ForeignKey(Team, on_delete=models.CASCADE, editable=False, related_name='catalogs') whitelist_users = models.JSONField(null=True, blank=True, default=list) # If white list is null, it is open to whole team Views.py class CatalogViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet): permission_classes = (IsOwnerAdminOrRestricted,) def get_queryset(self): result = [] user = self.request.user catalogs = Catalog.objects.filter(team__in=self.request.user.team_set.all()) for catalog in catalogs: if catalog.whitelist_users == [] or catalog.whitelist_users == None: # catalog is open to whole team result.append(catalog) else: # catalog is private if user in catalog.whitelist_users: result.append(catalog) return result So this is my logic; 1 - Get the catalog object if catalog's team is one of the current user' team. 2 - Check if the catalog.whitelist_users contains the current user. (There is also an exception that if it is none means it s open to whole team so I can show it in the list view.) Now this worked but since I am returning an array, it doesn't find the detail objects correctly. I mean /catalog/ID doesn't work correctly. I am new to DRF so I am guessing there is something wrong here. How … -
Django prevent run command dbbackup invoke other command

Django Rest Framework - Account Verification Email: send_mail() works in console but not using SMTP
I have looked around StackOverflow and other places but I am not able to find a solution to my problem. I am using Django Rest Framework and Django Knox for user authentication and I want to send an account verification email to newly registered users. I am using Gmail. My email settings in my settings.py file are as below: EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend' # EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.console.EmailBackend' #Using this for testing EMAIL_USE_TLS = True EMAIL_HOST = os.getenv('EMAIL_HOST') EMAIL_PORT = os.getenv('EMAIL_HOST_PORT') EMAIL_HOST_USER = os.getenv('EMAIL_HOST_USER') EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = os.getenv('EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD') DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL = os.getenv('EMAIL_HOST_USER') When I use EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.console.EmailBackend', I am able to see the email printed on the server. However when I use EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend', I don't get the email every time. I have to try sending an email multiple times to receive 1 email. Because I am receiving emails a few times, I think my credentials are right. I don't see any errors printed on the server either. Is this a Gmail issue considering I am receiving emails sometimes? An additional thing I noticed while working on this was that any code after send_mail is not executed in my API view. I am using a custom user model and my Register API … -

Get API result when sending SparkPost email from Django?
Django has built-in support for sending mail via sparkpost, if you set MAIL_BACKEND in settings.py: EMAIL_BACKEND = 'sparkpost.django.email_backend.SparkPostEmailBackend' SPARKPOST_API_KEY = 'something' Once it's set up, you can use the standard Django ways to send mail (the send_mail() function or the EmailMessage class). If I send a message via the SparkPost API directly, it returns a result that looks like this: {'total_rejected_recipients': 0, 'total_accepted_recipients': 1, 'id': '1234567890'} Does Django offer a way to access this API result? -
Git file problem when migrating in Django
I have the following structure in my Django project The gitignore is the one suggested by https://www.toptal.com/developers/gitignore/api/django The steps to initialize GIT were: Create the project with apps/A and apps/B, create the .gitignore file and run git init. Then I ran makemigrations and migrate The problem occurs when, starting from master, a new branch called Z is created with an apps/ZApp, a new model is created and makemigrations and migrate are executed from that branch. Thus: $ git checkout -b Z $ cd apps $ django-admin startapp Z $ cd .. Then I apply makemigrations and migrate and return to master... When I'm in master, I see those files that should be ignored and I can't find the reason for this ... They shouldn't be there ... All files should be in their respective branch I don't understand ... someone to help me -
