I'm not receiving the password reset email link when I click on the Reset password in my Blogging Web App built using Django Framework
I'm not receiving the password reset email link when I click on the Reset password in my Blogging Web App built using Django Framework, although the info "An email has been sent with instructions to reset your password." is prompted as well. I'm guessing something with my setting USER_HOST_EMAIL and USER_HOST_PASSWORD in the environment variables. The settings.py in my Django setup looks like this: EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend' EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.gmail.com' EMAIL_PORT = 587 EMAIL_USE_TLS = True EMAIL_HOST_USER = os.environ.get('EMAIL_HOST_USER') EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = os.environ.get('EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD') Any ideas on what could possibly be the problem? -
404 Error in Django Deployment with Cpanel
I have recently deployed my django application to my Linux CPanel-Shared hosting. After testing all works very well in development but soon after deploying, my application displays 404 Not Found pages every time a user tries to navigate to a URL (including the in-built Django Admin panel). Here is my deployment website: https://covid19.africansurveyors.net I contacted my hosting service provider to check for me where the problem could be but unfortunately it was not resolved as they mentioned about code error. So I then took my application to Heroku and managed to deploy. The URL to the Heroku App which is still the same app is: https://covid19zwe.herokuapp.com/. The application works perfectly fine on Heroku, but fails to run well on CPanel Shared hosting. I also checked the --tail of my server log files this is what came up. App 2247037 output: wsgi = imp.load_source('wsgi', 'passenger_wsgi.py') App 2247037 output: File "/home/<my_username>/virtualenv/public_html/covid19.africansurveyors.net/3.7/lib64/python3.7/imp.py", line 169, in load_source App 2247037 output: App 2247037 output: module = _exec(spec, sys.modules[name]) App 2247037 output: File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 623, in _exec App 2247037 output: File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 568, in _init_module_attrs App 2247037 output: File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 409, in cached App 2247037 output: File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap_external>", line … -

How to implement smooth loading of objects in django pagination?
So, currently, I have infinite scroll feature working (I made it with the help of JS Waypoints). But I have footer on my page and it's unreachable because when user scrolls down, new content gets loaded and footer gets further. I thought of two ways of solving this problem but I found nothing on the net. The first way is to use not infinite scroll plugins but to use django pagination instead and smoothly load page objects when user scrolls down and provide a link when a page reaches let's say 20 objects. The second way is to use infinite scroll and when user reaches 20 objects provide him a link on the next page and stop loading next objects. I don't know how to do both because I'm beginner and as I mentioned it before, I tried googling solutions and found nothing. I hope I expressed my ideas clearly and I look forward for any advice! Here is my code: #views.py def index(request): posts = Post.objects.all().order_by('-id') paginator = Paginator(posts, 4) page_num = request.GET.get('page', 1) page = paginator.page(page_num) #I cut the part of code which handles different exceptions to keep things simple return render(request, 'index.html', {'posts': page}) #template <div class="infinite-container … -
Swagger compatibility with custom fields on Django serializers?
I was recently integrated into projects that are using the Django rest framework and swagger. I had to define a custom field for a serializer at some point and it works fine, but swagger doesn't recognize its type (it always marks it as string). Custom field: class InheritableAttribute(serializers.ReadOnlyField): def __init__(self, attribute_name, serializer_class=None): super().__init__() self.attribute_name = attribute_name self.serializer_class = serializer_class def get_attribute(self, instance): value = getattr(instance, self.attribute_name) if not value: value = getattr(instance.product, self.attribute_name) return value def to_representation(self, value): if self.serializer_class: return self.serializer_class(value).to_representation(value) return super().to_representation(value) Serializer (simplified): class Serializer: base_price = InheritableAttribute('base_price') keep_inventory_count = InheritableAttribute('keep_inventory_count') Swagger: swagger output Here, I want base_price to be float and keep_inventory_count to be bool, for example. Also, you may have noticed that the custom field is reused for different types of data, so the type should somehow be a parameter, but I can probably figure that stuff out; I just need to know how to set the type for a custom field so that swagger shows it correctly. -
Testing Try - Catch Django function. Need exception testing
it's probably a straightforward simple problem but i haven't found similar information. I want to test a get function, which throws a generic exception, in case any event if the model fails. This is my view: @api_view(['GET']) def get_group(request): """ Returns all works """ try: group = Group.objects.all() serializer = GroupSerializer(group, many=True) return Response(serializer.data) except Exception as e: return Response(data={'error': e.args}, status=500) I have the test that does not throw an exception, but I need it to cover the one that throws an exception and I can't find a way. I have tried several things but the closest thing to get right has been this. def test_get_group_list_fail(self): with self.assertRaises(TypeError): response = self.client.get('/groups/') resultados = self.group.objects.all() esperado = CrackingGroupSerializer(resultados, many=True) self.assertNotEqual(esperado.data, ['fail']) assert response.status_code == 500 If anyone knows a solution, it is appreciated in advance. -
Does heroku ignore django's setting.py file?
I have a django based Heroku app, I set it up so that the remote website is connected to the remote postgresql database. (After following the 'get started' tutorial on heroku documentation for django) I needed to make a local version of the same app as well, but for its database the local postgresql is used so I simply modified the DATABASES = { "default": { "ENGINE" : "django.db.backends.sqlite3", "NAME": os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "db.sqlite3") } } into DATABASES = { "default": { "ENGINE" : "django.db.backends.postgresql", "NAME": "postgres", "USER": "postgres", "PASSWORD":"loremipsum", "HOST": "localhost", "PORT":"" } } It works as expected and there is no problem. So the local app is connected to the local database. But the part I don't understand is that why the remote app after deploying the changes to remote heroku repository is still connected the remote postgresql? The changes in setting.py are also the part of that deployment. The gitignore file does not include the setting.py and actually when I clone the remote git repo for my heroku it shows that the setting.py has indeed updated to the one that is connected to the local database and not the remote one. However when accessing my web app online (example.heroku.com) … -

How to assign model fields to a custom variable in the view, and use it in context to pass to the template?
so I have a model in models.py, and it has a few fields. Next, I make a form in forms.py to make a creative form. Then I import that form from forms.py into views.py. In the views.py, I make the create view, with the creat form. But here's the problem. In the views.py, I have the model field space. now I want to do something with that field.
