How do I update information in the database using POST in Django?
I'm creating a contact list that lets the user Add, Delete, and Edit using Django. I've been able to slowly work my way through most of it except for updating the information in the database after the user hits "Submit". I've tried a few different methods that I thought might work, but unfortunately I just ended up with Errors. So I'm wondering, after I render the html edit form and the user edits whatever field they choose and hits submit, how do I receive that information and update the database with it? I've read that I need to use a 'POST' but I'm not sure how to set it up. views.py file from django.shortcuts import render, redirect from django.http import HttpResponse, HttpRequest from django.template import loader from .models import Contact def index(request): return HttpResponse("Hello, world. You're at the contacts app.") def list(request): contacts_list = Contact.objects.all() return render(request, 'index.html', {'contact_list':contacts_list}) def add(request): if request.method == 'POST': new_contact = Contact( firstname = request.POST['firstname'], lastname = request.POST['lastname'], age = request.POST['age'], phone = request.POST['phone'], email = request.POST['email'], gender = request.POST['gender'], ) new_contact.save() return redirect('/contacts/list/') return render(request, 'addform.html') def edit(request, cur_id): if request.method == 'GET': contact_to_edit = Contact.objects.get(id=cur_id) contacts_list = Contact.objects.all() return render(request, 'editform.html', {'cur_contact':contact_to_edit, … -
Customizing Django's many-to-many admin widget
I have a many to many field that contains ~7000 options and it is starting to take a long time to load the page when I want to edit or add new objects in the admin interface. I'm aware of the filter_horizontal or filter_vertical options to change the widget for many to many, but is there a way to block the widget from showing me those 7000 options? I only need to be able to add new ones (searching would be nice, but not required). -
Multiple models in a single get_queryset() to populate data in a template
I'm trying to push multiple data sets into a template, home.html, using class based views. I don't know if this is the right way or if there is a better way to do this. views.py class HomePage(ListView): template_name = 'home.html' context_object_name = 'result' def get_queryset(self): query1 = {} query2 = {} query3 = {} query1 = table1.objects.filter(username=self.kwargs['username']) query2 = table2.objects.filter(username=self.kwargs['username']) query3 = table3.objects.filter(username=self.kwargs['username']) return (query1, query2, query3) home.html {% for query1_data in result %} {% if query1_data.url %} <img src="{{query1_data.url}}"> {% endif %} {% endfor %} {% for query2_data in result %} {% if query2_data.text %} ... {% endif %} {% endfor %} It works but it seems like there should be a better way to do this. Thanks! -

nested custom simple template tag in django

Exporting data with DJango and import_export, columns are duplicated
I am creating a django app and I'm using the import_export package. I have defined my resource with fields that have both the attribute and column_name set. When I export to xlsx (or csv) I get columns with the attribute as header, and a duplicate column with the column_name header. Including the fields attribute in the Meta subclass doesn't affect this behavior. # app\resources.py class RoleResource(resources.ModelResource): name = Field(attribute="name", column_name="Sales Role") role = Field(attribute="default_role" column_name="System Role") plan = Field(attribute="default_plan" column_name="System Plan") class Meta: model = Role # fields = ('name', 'default_role', 'default_plan') # commenting this doesn't change behavior The final output with Meta.fields commented out has 6 columns: Sales Role, System Role, System Plan, id, default_role, default_plan. The final output with Meta.fields uncommented has 5 columns: Sales Role, System Role, System Plan, default_role, default_plan. I thought the column_name was cosmetic. Why am I getting two duplicated columns? -
Django-Channels multiple connections from the same client
I have a django-channels application deployed with daphne and nginx. There's only one connection url: /ws. Whenever I connect to it (I tried using the standard JS WebSocket and Node websocket implementations) with multiple connections from the same machine, the responses from server to client always go to the last connected ws connection. I pass the remote IP as well as the remote port from nginx to the python application: proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Port $remote_port; The daphne logs show that the python application is aware of the remote ports: 129.81.255.107:48276 - - [10/Mar/2021:00:25:38] "WSCONNECTING /ws/" - - 129.81.255.107:48276 - - [10/Mar/2021:00:25:38] "WSCONNECT /ws/" - - 129.81.255.107:12111 - - [10/Mar/2021:00:25:40] "WSCONNECTING /ws/" - - 129.81.255.107:12111 - - [10/Mar/2021:00:25:40] "WSCONNECT /ws/" - - Even if I connect through different urls, the problem persists: 129.81.255.107:25976 - - [10/Mar/2021:00:27:13] "WSCONNECTING /ws/aaaaaa/" - - 129.81.255.107:25976 - - [10/Mar/2021:00:27:13] "WSCONNECT /ws/aaaaaa/" - - 129.81.255.107:8010 - - [10/Mar/2021:00:27:15] "WSCONNECTING /ws/bbbbbbb/" - - 129.81.255.107:8010 - - [10/Mar/2021:00:27:15] "WSCONNECT /ws/bbbbbbb/" - - I'm thinking, if I send back the client port as a header in the response (from server to client), the client will know which specific ws connection to direct the response.

Get path of the uploaded file in FileField Django model to use read_csv
I've been searching a lot but cannot find an answer that works, so decided to post the question in this beautiful community. My question is very similar to the one posted here, but the only solution provided there doesn't work for me (or I need further explanation on how to do it?). Also, read this but didn't work. I have a web app that uses ReactJS for the frontend and Django for the backend. Users upload a file and I need to use pandas in my backend to read that file to a csv. Users successfully upload their file and it is stored in my uploads folder. My problem? I need to get the path to the uploaded file so I can use it in pandas.read_csv(file_path). How can I do this?

SAVE Matplotlib directly as png file instead of base64 file in Database in Django
I am working on a project where I am taking audio files(.wav files) as input and processing them to get image data in Django. I am using matplotlib plot functions and then saving it as a Base64 png file in my database. and then decoding it in the front end so that users can view the output.Can some please help me how to save a proper png file in my DB rather than saving as a base64 file first and then later decoding it while viewing it?

How would I go about creating an order-by feature that runs in the Django template?
I created a car dealership site and I am struggling on the last feature which is an order-by feature that manipulates the order vehicles are shown in the template. After googling for hours on how to go about this, the closest I got was being told to use order-by in the view before the template is rendered or there is regroup which I read about in the documentation but struck out there. Neither of these are suitable as I'd like users to change the order of the vehicles by price and other fields in the template, much like how you would order products on any ecomm site. I know AJAX is great for DOM manipulation but I just cant seem to crack it. I was thinking I could create a new url/view to change the order-by field which might work only it would return all objects and not those initially searched for by the user. Does anyone have advice on how to go about this? -
Django Framework Simple Class
Sorry to bother but first time posting here and very very new to Django, very very new to Python, possibly very new to the Internet :| I'm currently learning Django and I setup a Django Project like so: app_admin/ and inside this folder it has the default urls.py, settings.py, wsgi.py etc.. I created an app and so now I have: app_admin/ app_name/ and inside this folder views.py, models.py etc... I read that it's best to keep your apps separated but now when I try to import any Classes from models.py even within app_name/ let's say a file main.py. When I try to do an from .models import class-name I get these errors that it cannot import django.db My biggest confusion is what does the difference between django-admin startproject APP and then you can create an app like so python3 manage.py startapp APP. I'm quite confused about this. I want to build an app that can retrieve server info like python version, ip of server, kernel version, apache version etc... and I am trying to follow best practices but I guess I am not quite sure what I am doing :/ I am very stupid so please forgive me. -

Customising django form field rendering

If I have just one of these fields, I can omit the verbose_name and just manually expose a variable in pages.py and attach a label in the corresponding .html file like so: <div id="color_repeat" class="formlabel">What are some things that are <b>{{ Player.color }}</b>? </div> {% formfield player.color_repeat %} However, I have some 50 or so fields that need to dynamically show content stored in the player class, and don't want to manually modify the formlabels in pages.py for all of them. Is there a more convenient way to modify verbose_name of many fields to refer to some variable stored in the Player class? I was told Custom Field creation might be necessary, but Django documentation is not particularly easy to navigate on …
