Customize next page in Django (pagination)
so I'm building a website in Django which have similarities with YouTube. I mean there will be some thumbnails and when you click on one of them it takes you to a page where the video will be played. Now coming to the code since I don't wanna have to hard-code everything I opted to use the pagination but I have a problem cuz the pagination is doing everything automatically and I can't change the thumbnails for the next page. So either my analysis is wrong or there a way to do it correctly anyway I'm seeking your help, thanks in advance Here's the code for the template: {% load static %} {% block content %} <div class="row row-cols-1 row-cols-sm-2 row-cols-md-3 g-3 mb-5"> <div class="col"> <div class="card shadow-sm"> <a href="{% url 'watch1' %}" target="_blank"> <img src="{% static 'thumbnails/hacker.jpeg' %}" height="225" width="100%"></a> <div class="card-body"> <p class="card-text"> {% for element in page_obj %} {% if element.category == 'boxing' %} {{ element.description|truncatechars:50 }} {% endif %} {% endfor %} </p> <div class="d-flex justify-content-between align-items-center"> <div class="btn-group"> </div> <small class="text-muted">9 mins</small> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="col"> <div class="card shadow-sm"> <a href="{% url 'watch2' %}" target="_blank"> <img src="{% static 'thumbnails/hydra.jpg' %}" height="225" width="100%"></a> <div … -

How to efficiently update nested objects in Django Serializer
I have been doing some research but couldn't find an effective yet simple way to update instances without making some repetitive code. Here is an example: PartySerializer(Model.serializers) def update(self, instance, validated_data): instance.name = validated_data.get('name', instance.name) event_date = validated_data.get('event_date', instance.event_date) time_start = validated_data.get('time_start', instance.time_start) time_end = validated_data.get('time_end', instance.time_end) main_color = validated_data.get('main_color', instance.main_color) is_age_limited = validated_data.get('is_age_limited', instance.is_age_limited) is_open_bar = validated_data.get('is_open_bar', instance.is_open_bar) is_open_food = validated_data.get('is_open_food', instance.is_open_food) description = validated_data.get('description', instance.description) location = validated_data.get('location', instance.location) category = validated_data.get('category', instance.category) Is there any cleaner and more efficient approach ? -

Django admin slow loading of table with large JSON field
I have a table with a JSON field, which contains quite a bit of data. When I open the page in the admin for this table it doesn't load or takes 30+ sec to load.

Save baseball innings pitched decimal
I don’t really even know where to begin with this. I have a Django form in which I am saving baseball stats to my database. The problem I an having is with innings pitched. In baseball, innings are measured in thirds but instead of .33, .66, .99, each third is represented as .1, .2, .0 For example a pitcher could throw 5 innings, 5.1, 5.2, 6. How can store and manipulate data this way? Thanks for your help. -
Checking duplicate objects before saving
Good day SO: How to check if items are duplicate before saving? I got an answer similar to my question but I need to add a validation also who created the item. The answer that I am currently using is from this SO Answer by @dokkaebi. It is currently working, however, if other users also created the same record, I would like them to be able to do so. Only limit this to the current user. What I did was: def clean(self, *args, **kwargs): cleaned_data = super().clean() job_title = cleaned_data.get("job_title") others = cleaned_data.get("others") matching_job_item = PropositionItem.objects.filter(job_title=job_title, others=others) if self.instance: matching_job_item = matching_job_item.exclude(pk=self.instance.pk, status="0") if matching_job_item.exists(): msg = u"Job Tile: %s has already exist." % job_title raise forms.ValidationError(msg) else: return self.cleaned_data What I want: User A can't create a duplicate item while User B can create what user A created but only once. -
Firebase authentication and Backend server
I have a front-end React web app, and I am using Firebase authentication for the authentication. On the back-end I am using Django with Firebase admin to verify the Firebase user token. Could you help me understand these points: The front-end web app is sending the current Firebase user's token with the request header, and the back-end is verifying the request's authorization header token. Since the Firebase admin SDK verifies it with the public key it downloads from the google's server, and it lasts for 24 hours. Does this mean that there won't be any performance difference with every front-end request as Firebase admin will not request Google API for the verification for 24 hours? For my class models with user object and its related items (e.g.: User object, Post, Photos, etc), do I store the primary key as the Firebase user's UID? If not how should I query for the items of a user? Any help of suggestions are appreciated! Thank you. -

Django website can't obtain client IP through request.META
I am building a Django website that deployed on the Lightsail server. I followed this instruction https://docs.bitnami.com/aws/infrastructure/django/get-started/deploy-django-project/ and the website deployed successfully. I want to obtain the clients IP address, and I found this post on StackOverflow How do I get user IP address in django? The IP address I obtained from request.META.['REMOTE_ADDR'] is the Lightsail server IP address, not the client IP address. And I cannot get anything from request.META.get('HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'), since there is no 'HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR' key in the request. I was wondering how do I get the client IP address through HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR key in the request? Thank you. -
Django passthrough API request to hide credentials
I need to make a request to b.com/rest/foo to get json data for my application. I want to do it this way to protect the credentials rather than expose them on every page. I found Consume an API in Django REST, server side, and serve it ,client side, in Angular and the corresponding answer at https://stackoverflow.com/a/65672890/2193381 to be a great starting point. I created a local url to replicate the data that the external server will return and then tried the following import requests from django.http import JsonResponse def getdata(request, item): url = f"http://localhost:8080/rest/{item}" username = os.getenv('SITE_USERNAME', None) password = os.getenv('SITE_PASSWORD', None) userpass = dict(username=username, password=password) data = requests.get( url, auth=requests.auth.HTTPBasicAuth(**userpass), ) if data is not None and data.status_code == 200: try: return JsonResponse(data.json(), safe=False) except ValueError: print("!JSON") return JsonResponse({}) print("!data") return JsonResponse({}) urlpatterns = [ path('foo/<str:item>, getdata), ] When I test it with python manage.py runserver 8080 and call localhost:8080/foo/, I am getting back the html of the login page and not the data I am expecting. What changes do I need to make to get it to work? -

UniqueConstraint doesn't respect the condition
On my django application I try to get a unicity constraint on 2 fields depending on the value of the third one. But it seems that the condition is ignored. My model: class Accomodation(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=200, unique=True) number = models.CharField(max_length=100, unique=True) category = models.ForeignKey(Category, on_delete=models.PROTECT, related_name='accomodations') description = models.TextField() company = models.ForeignKey(Company, on_delete=models.DO_NOTHING) price = models.DecimalField(max_digits=15, decimal_places=2, null=True, blank=True) is_active = models.BooleanField(default=True) class Meta: default_permissions = () permissions = ( ("can_delete_accomodation", "Can delete accomodations"), ("can_create_accomodation", "Can create a new accomodation"), ) constraints = [ UniqueConstraint(fields=['company', 'name'], condition=Q(is_active=True), name='Unique_accomodation_name_per_company'), UniqueConstraint(fields=['company', 'number'], condition=Q(is_active=True), name='Unique_accomodation_number_per_company') ] So what I try to do is one company can have only one accomodation name which is active at the same time. Same for the number. Basicaly the behaviour needed is: add Accomodation(name='toto', number='1', is_active=True) <- OK add Accomodation(name='toto', number='2', is_active=True) <- Fail (name exists) add Accomodation(name='tata', number='2', is_active=True) <- Fail (number exists) change Accomodation(name='toto', number='1', is_active=False) <- OK add Accomodation(name='toto', number='1', is_active=True) <- Ok But right now I have this behaviour: add Accomodation(name='toto', number='1', is_active=True) <- OK add Accomodation(name='toto', number='2', is_active=True) <- Fail (name exists) add Accomodation(name='tata', number='2', is_active=True) <- Fail (number exists) change Accomodation(name='toto', number='1', is_active=False) <- OK add Accomodation(name='toto', number='2', is_active=True) <- Fail … -

How to create a Django website to post articles?
I'm new to django and I really have no idea how should I structure a website for the purpose of posting articles (like tutorials). I'm not asking for specific code, but how does it work? Should I make a base template and a html file for every single article that I'll post? If so, how should be the folder structure in the project? How can I show a list of all those articles and redirect to them if a user clicks on it? Should I link them to a database entry? How can I do that? I'm asking those things because I only did things that involved reading content from the database/model and showing it on a template, but articles need images and other special construction that a blog textfield would not be enough. If it is too confusing, just say so, and I'll try to put in another words, I'm really struggling to put my question into words. -

Django Channels sleep between group sends
what i am trying to achieve is quite simple as you can read in the title but i can't get it to work "to sleep between two sends". my code: await self.channel_layer.group_send( str(self.game_link), { "type": "group_message", "text": json.dumps(answer_data), } ) await asyncio.sleep(5) await self.channel_layer.group_send( str(self.game_link), { "type": "group_message", "text": json.dumps(data), } ) what happens here is that both send at the same time after sleep is done.
