Appsheet saving to S3
We have a single database we are using with PostgreSQL and when appsheets saves the data it only provides I believe what is called the file path from the work load. However its saving from the default settings of appsheet/data/{appname}/{folder}/. That works fine for appsheets but us developers using boto3 with django can't find the images. Working with the Appsheets member and doing research we found a field called default app folder and every time we try make that field empty it results back to the main setting path. Now we can't change the main setting path for the profile because they have tons of other apps in appsheets that use that path. However for this one app we need to make it empty so it will save correctly into s3 and have the right path in postgreSQL. I hope this explains the issue and be happy to answer any additional questions. -
I don't know why my views on django is not displaying on the browser
I don't know why my views on django is not displaying on the browser, I'm new to django and I'm just trying to create a very basic new user view but for some weird reason is not working and I can't understand what is the problem. Please help me to at the code: project urls.py from django.contrib import admin from django.urls import path, include urlpatterns = [ path('', include('logapp.urls')), path('admin/', admin.site.urls), ] app url.py from django.urls import path from . import views urlpatterns = [ path('', views.home, name="home") ] views.py from django.shortcuts import render from django.http import HttpResponse def home(request): return HttpResponse("<h1>Hello world</h1>") setting.py INSTALLED_APPS = [ 'django.contrib.admin', 'django.contrib.auth', 'django.contrib.contenttypes', 'django.contrib.sessions', 'django.contrib.messages', 'django.contrib.staticfiles', 'logapp', ] Those are the only things I did after creating virtualenv. The project is running and displaying only the default django rocket. -
Attempting to set related model fields via parent function call(s)
I am writing a Compact Disk Library editing routine. The application allows you to enter a CD Artist Name, and CD Title and the total time of the CD. User can then enter track information.

Django ListView how to zip context data with another context

Downloaded pdf file trimmed from django
I am trying to create a site in django (version 1.11) that will download a file resides on the host. I have used the following code: views.py: def download_file(request,fl_path): data = subject.objects.all() sub = { "subject_id": data } fl_path = data.values('submissions')[0]['submissions'] filename = fl_path.split('/')[1] fl = open(fl_path, 'r') response = HttpResponse(fl, content_type='application/pdf') response['Content-Disposition'] = "attachment; filename=%s" % filename return response models.py: class subject(models.Model): nameSubject = models.CharField(max_length=200, primary_key=True) songs = models.CharField(max_length=2000) selfTasks = models.CharField(max_length=2000) submissions = models.FileField(upload_to='submissionsTasks') def __str__(self): return self.nameSubject The file is downloading successfully, with file name and all. The point is that the file is trimmed at 2KB of size. The downloaded file contains an identical copy of the first 2KB of the original file. Do we have any setting that should allow >2KB file download? Any other solutions / ideas? Thanks in advanced, Michal -

Wagtail admin: How to customize layout of select/checkbox options?
I have a wagtail admin form where I want to customize the layout of a series of checkbox options used to populate a ManyToMany Field. The model I'm editing is called "Product"; the field is "displays_on_pages", and that links to a separate "GenericPage" model. The problem is, I have so many of these pages available as options that it makes displaying them as a regular list of checkboxes a bit unwieldy. I'd like to display them nested instead, so that I can indent the subpages under their parent pages. Something like this: □ Parent Page 1 □ Subpage 1.1 □ Subpage 1.1.1 □ Subpage 1.2 □ Parent Page 2 □ Subpage 2.1 (etc.) I've figured out how to create a custom form widget by subclassing forms.widgets.CheckboxSelectMultiple, how to pass in my own query logic so that the pages available as choices for the checkbox widget appear sorted as a tree, and how to set up a template for the output. The problem is that the choices I'm passing into the template don't appear to be actual "Page" objects. As I loop through the queryset, I can get the value (id) and label (title) for each option, but I can't seem … -

A WP form sending data through API to Web App in Azure?
Our team has been working this Django based Web App for handling customer data. This customer data is being gathered in a json Rest Api and the form the API connects to is made with WordPress. The database is parked in Azure and is working very well, but now our concern is that we need some kind of Azure token to get the data from the form and API to the database in Azure. Azure also has some restrictions what it lets through as only the customer's organization can access the Web app/database in azure as it is behind MS login. So my question is: is there something we are missing? We know we need a token for the post as that way it cannot be anything other than a "legit" form that was filled out on the public web page. But the way we are trying to get that token hasn't worked. The Form gets the info that needs to be filled form the API and it is done by the marketing agency that creates the Customer's web page. So is this something they need to add to the form or Us for the API side? Also sorry for … -

Database performance in Django/Postgres
In one of my views for the staff, I show the last 10 registrars on my site and some of their activity like so: recentlyjoined = User.objects.order_by('-date_joined').annotate(post_count=Count('post', distinct=True), text_count=Count('text', distinct=True), pdf_count=Count('pdf', distinct=True), discussion_count=Count('discussion', distinct=True))[0:10] And in my template I do {% for applicant in recentlyjoined %} {{ applicant.post_count }} {% endfor %} for all the annotations above. When I call this site, it takes VERY long to load, sometimes I even get a timeout error. I narrowed it down to this annotations. Whats wrong? Why does this improve so bad? And how can I fix it? (And in case it matters: In my sandbox database I have only 15 users, but one of them has like 5000 posts. So its not exactly big data to handle.) -

Socket Programming between Django REST API, VUE and Scrapy
Write now my code is able to successfully send a post request to the Django REST API which in result triggers the spider respectively and stores its output to the database successfully. For this cause I am using scrapyd API as you can see in the below code snippet @api_view(['POST']) @permission_classes((permissions.AllowAny,)) def crawlRottenTomatoes(request): print("in crawl tottentomatoes method") url = request.data["url"] if not url: return JsonResponse({'error': 'Missing args'}) if not is_valid_url(url): return JsonResponse({'error': 'URL is invalid'}) domain = urlparse(url).netloc msg_dic = {} try: scrapyd.schedule(project="movie_spider", spider="rottentomatoes", url=url, domain=domain) msg_dic['msg'] = "Spider RottenTomatoes for given url is up and running" except Exception as e: print("exception") msg_dic['error'] = "Error running spider for RottenTomatoes" return JsonResponse(msg_dic, safe=False) But now what I want. Is to have some kind of response back from the scrapyd when it's done crawling and parsing the website/channel for that I came across the WebSockets. I tried to use WebSockets but the problem is scrapyd is a demon itself. I am not really able to send a message to the WebSocket client from the scrappy. Does anyone have any idea of how do to do or can share some resources which can help me with this? -

Import Django settings from app into project settings?
I've got a few projects that all use a 'shared_app'. In that shared_app I have a module named default_settings.py that contains the settings that are used by all projects that have that shared_app. Folder structure is the usual Django structure: project_dir | - project_dir | - settings.py - urls.py - wsgi.py - shared_app | - default_settings.py - ... all other app files ... - other_app - some_other_app - ...other project files.... In my project_dir/settings.py I have these lines: BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))) exec( open(os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "shared_app", "default_settings.py")).read() ) in globals() # Below this line - I can use any settings from default_settings.py if DEBUG: SESSION_EXPIRE_AT_BROWSER_CLOSE = False The default_settings.py files contains things like: DEBUG = is_debug(os.environ.get("DJANGO_DEBUG")) BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))) SECRET_KEY = os.environ.get("DJANGO_SECRET_KEY") SESSION_EXPIRE_AT_BROWSER_CLOSE = True There are simply too many settings in default_settings.py to have something like from share_app import THIS, THAT, OTHER There are around 20-30 settings. Is there a better way to do this? Or am I stuck with that slightly confusing, ugly exec() command? Is there anything more 'pythonic'?
