Transferring data between Django projects
I have two Django projects with similar apps, and I need to transfer/transform data from one app (@djangoproject1) to another (@djangoproject2). My script to access both projects/databases (inspired by this post) looks like this import os import sys from django.apps import apps sys.path.append('/django/djangoproject1') sys.path.append('/django/djangoproject2') os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "djangoproject1.settings") from djangoproject1 import settings apps.populate(settings.INSTALLED_APPS) from app1.models import Page mypage = Page.objects.get(id=1234) print(mypage.title) os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "djangoproject2.settings") from djangoproject2 import settings apps.populate(settings.INSTALLED_APPS) from app2.models import Page mypage = Page.objects.get(id=3421) print(mypage.title) It fails importing the model Page from app2, referring to the first model in models.py: RuntimeError: Model class app2.models.FirstModel doesn't declare an explicit app_label and isn't in an application in INSTALLED_APPS. If the configuration for one project (either djangoproject1 or djangoproject2) is commented out, the script works fine (printing the respective page's title). How can I load the database content from one project/app, then switch to the other project/app properly? -
Django Fetch Data from multiple models connected using Foreign Keys
I am new to Django and currently working on my first project.

My button does not save the form to the database. Help please
I am trying to save this form for an attendance website.

Form select field that refreshes page with post data
I want to add a select field that is populated via a queryset, and when a choice is made refresh the template page (home.html) so that a variable inside my view changes and refreshes the JSON data being passed through to the template. Right now, I can manually change the value inside the view & manually refresh, but want the user to be able to select which value they want based on table object values. The range_chart(request) feeds home.html which loads a chartjs line chart with multiple series. I want the form to display all unique values from the rrSec field, and be ordered. models.py: from django.db import models from datetime import datetime class rr_values(models.Model): rrDate=models.DateField(default=datetime.now) rrSec=models.CharField(max_length=30) rrTrend=models.CharField(max_length=30) rrLow=models.FloatField() rrHigh=models.FloatField() rrClose=models.FloatField() class Meta: db_table='rr_values' views.py: thisSec = "COMPQ" def home(request): return render(request, 'home.html', {'rrSymbol': thisSec}) class SymbolForm(forms.Form): formqs = forms.ModelChoiceField(queryset=rr_values.objects.all().values_list('rrSec', flat=True).distinct()) def range_chart(request): labels = [] data = [] data1 = [] data2 = [] rrSymbol = thisSec qs = rr_values.objects.all().filter(rrSec=rrSymbol).order_by("rrDate") for entry in qs: labels.append(entry.rrDate) data.append(entry.rrClose) data1.append(entry.rrLow) data2.append(entry.rrHigh) return JsonResponse(data={ 'labels': labels, 'data': data, 'data1': data1, 'data2': data2, }) -
Applying custom model manager to Django Admin (for proxy models)
I have two proxy models that inherit from a base. These proxy models each have their own validation rules. class FooManager(models.Manager): def create(self, **kwargs): if "bar" in kwargs: raise ValidationError("Foo object should not have bar field") return super(FooManager, self).create(**kwargs) class BarManager(models.Manager): def create(self, **kwargs): if "foo" in kwargs: raise ValidationError("Bar object should not have foo field") return super(BarManager, self).create(**kwargs) class Base(models.Model): foo = CharField() bar = CharField() class Foo(Base): objects = FooManager() class Meta: proxy = True class Bar(Base): objects = BarManager() class Meta: proxy = True So in the shell, everything works as intended: # These are created Foo.objects.create(foo="foo") Bar.objects.create(bar="bar") # These will raise the correct ValidationErrors Foo.objects.create(bar="bar") Bar.objects.create(foo="foo") But if I try to create an object via Django's Admin, the validation no longer works. I can create a Foo object with a bar field and a Bar object with a foo field. Is it possible to apply my Custom Managers to Django's Model Admin? Edit: I am using Single Table Inheritance -
How do I get row from django database?

Django filter with replace
Let's say I have the following model which have a method variants(): class Example(models.Model): text = models.CharField(max_length=255) def variants(self): return Example.objects.filter(text=remove('xy', self.text)) The idea is to get all objects where texts are the same after certain characters are removed from the text. For example, if self.text is 'axxyy', it should match with the object which have text 'a'. Function remove() doesn't touch to the database, it returns a new string which have given characters removed. This works fine. However, I have a need to perform the same operation on both sides of the comparison, so that variants() would behave like following: def variants(self): return Example.objects.filter(remove('xy', text)=remove('xy', self.text)) In that case, if self.txt is 'axxyy' it should match with 'a', 'ax, 'axx', 'xayy', etc. but shouldn't match with 'aa' for example, since 'a' != 'aa' after removals. Once again, I don't want to remove 'xy' from the database, only for the comparison. I could do this with Python, but I'm wondering if there is a way to do this on database level? I've been reading docs about Func() expressions, for example Replace, but haven't found a solution yet. -
Django Error "django.db.utils.ProgrammingError: subquery has too many columns "
The raw query itself is correct and I am able to get retrieve the rawqueryset from the db. I need to convert this into queryset for further processing and I am facing below error.

Django Channels App Websocket Connection Failing
I believe I have a similar issue to the one found here and here. The gist is that I'm running a Django app with channels on an Amazon-ec2 instance and the websockets are failing to connect. Most of my code regarding the websockets comes from the django-channels tutorial here. Traffic is being directed though secured dns name behind an application load balancer. I'm running this entirely on Daphne (handling both https and websocket traffic) with pretty minimal configurations: daphne -b <server_url> -p <port> test_app.asgi:application I'm also authenticating with openID-connect using the mozilla-django-oidc module. However for the websocket test I'm not expecting authentication. I feel it's worth pointing out if the issue is related to websocket authentication in any way. In development I'm running a local redis cluster as my channel layer. My dev app (all http:// and ws://) has no issues connecting to websockets. The chat app works as expected. I can connect to my websockets and is confirmed with a 127.0.0.1:60779 - - [07/Apr/2021:12:06:05] "WSCONNECTING /ws/chat/lobby/" In production I'm using an elasticache redis cluster as my channel layer.

Tracking date/time of page hits on a Wagtail site
Is there a best practice for tracking page hits in Wagtail (or Django)? I've seen some installable Django modules that track a simple hit count per page, but what I'm looking for is something more like a log of individual hits with the date/time and page URL for each (and possibly other information such as the user's IP address). I could probably build this myself and customize it to meet my app's needs; I'm just unsure of how to set up the model for the hit records in a way that Wagtail doesn't register it as a "page" and make all those individual records editable in the admin, which would be a nightmare. I figure once it's set up, I can build some custom admin logic to generate reports by querying from the database; it's just matter of setting up the data structure properly in the first place. -

Extending with plugins remotely -at least from a frontend
Hi guys I have a question just one, but it houses a series of smaller questions for clarity. So I'm building a django app that creates virtual organizations, I'm planning on hosting with digitalocean for reasons. My app just creates a droplet and host a site ( already done that) Now I want my users ( mainly people with zero coding knowledge or ability) to be able to install plugins to their django site using the frontend. How do I get this working without users tampering with the settings.py file is it possible? what packages would I need? how would I setup the installation process? an example would be how shopify handles its plugins and installation from the frontend remotely - if shopify were built on django. Cheers! -

How to Access Data Within Django ManytoMany with SQL Query
I have two models in a Django site as follows, one of which is a many to many relationship: class Seller(models.Model): account = models.ForeignKey(Account, related_name='sellers',null=True, on_delete=models.SET_NULL) bio = models.TextField(null=True, blank=True) city = models.CharField(max_length=50, null=True, blank=True) and class Account(models.Model): username = models.CharField(max_length=50, blank=True, null=True, unique=True) password = models.CharField(max_length=64) name = models.CharField(max_length=50, blank=True, null=True) I am trying to run an SQL query on my Postgresql database, but I cannot find a clear way to to write an SQL query to access information within the many to many relationship. I have the seller ID, and I want to get the username within Account. If I try the following, which clearly is not correct, it won't work but I'm stumped as what to do next: SELECT seller_seller.bio, seller_seller.account.id FROM seller_seller, admin_account WHERE ...no clue! Can someone point me in the right direction? Thank you!
