Django Rest Framework: Second parameter in url being constructed with a dot (.) instead of /
I've got the following method in my View: @action(detail=True, methods=['delete']) def remove(self, request, *args,**kwargs): print("here") I've created a test for this endpoint. But haven't been able to get the correct url. When I do url = reverse('order-remove', kwargs={'pk':1234, 'product_id':1}) I get the following error: django.urls.exceptions.NoReverseMatch: Reverse for 'order-remove' with a keyword arguments ... not found. 2 pattern(s) tried: ... and when I try: pk=1234 product_id=1 url = reverse('order-remove', args=(pk, product_id,)) I got the following url: /orders/1234/remove.1 instead of what I'd be expecting which is: orders/1234/remove/4 with an / instead of .

Django with a Python API?
I have a python script that scrapes tweets off of Twitter and wanted to make it into a website. My script outputs a text file with the scraped tweets. I figured out how to render the contents of this text file onto my Django website but I don't know how to get the scraper to run every time someone refreshes the website so they get the latest tweets. Does anyone know how to make that work or point me in the right direction? I'm kind of a complete beginner when it comes to web development so I might not fully understand how this exactly works. -

How to use sorl-thumbnail package together with django-tables2 package?
I do have a table defined in tables.py that renders a column with recipes images. class ImageColumn(Column): def render(self, value): return format_html( '<img src="static/media/{url}" height="150px", width="150px">', url=value ) class RecipeTable(tables.Table): image = ImageColumn() name = Column(linkify=True) class Meta: model = Recipe template_name = "django_tables2/bootstrap4.html" fields = ( "image", "name", "directions", "ingredients", ) Each image has different size and when I render it with fixed height="150px", width="150px", aspect ratio messes up the image. Therefore I thought I could use sorl-thumbnail package to help mi with generating thumbnails, rather then resizing the whole images. It looks like it is not possible to easily use both django-tables2 and sorl-thumbnail since thumbnails are rendered in html template. My template contains only this to render the table: {% render_table table 'django_tables2/bootstrap4.html' %} I need to access the cell so that I can use thumbnail template tag where image should be placed. {% thumbnail item.image ‘200x100’ as im %} <img src=’{{ im.url }}’> {% endthumbnail %} The only solution I see could be to edit the bootstrap4.html, but is there a better way? Am I missing something? -

How to embed a video stream using django httpstreamingresponse
I am running django on a raspberry pi to serve a webcam stream. Currently my view is simple and looks like: class VideoCamera(object): def __init__(self): self.video = cv2.VideoCapture(0) def __del__(self): self.video.release() def get_frame(self): ret,image = self.video.read() ret,jpeg = cv2.imencode('.jpg',image) return jpeg.tobytes() def gen(camera): while True: frame = camera.get_frame() yield(b'--frame\r\n' b'Content-Type: image/jpeg\r\n\r\n' + frame + b'\r\n\r\n') def videoStream(request) return StreamingHttpResponse(gen(VideoCamera())), content_type="multippart/x-mixed-replace;boundary=frame") When I access this view directly in chrome (http://127.0.0.1:8000/videostream), the video feed shows up and works as expected. But what I want is to embed this stream on a separate page. My thought was that I could just do: <video src="http://127.0.0.1:8000/videostream" autoplay="autoplay" > or <img src="http://127.0.0.1:8000/videostream" Both will make the request to the view, but the stream won't start. I suppose I just don't understand how the browser knows what to do when I directly access http://127.0.0.1:8000/videostream. It just works...I don't understand why.. -

How to make a serializer for multiple users (student & teacher)?
Hello I am very new to Django Rest Framework and I am having a hard time with the serializer. I extended the User Model using Abstract User. I inserted two new fields which are is_student and is_teacher then I set both of the values to false as default. I then put them in there own model then just applied a one-to-one relation for each of them to the user model. My problem is with the serializer. How do I make a serializer out of this.

AWS Elastic Beanstalk configure the allowed hosts for Django Application
I deployed a Django application into AWS Elastic Beanstalk. I mapped the DNS (external service) for my host to the AWS-EB CNAME. Everything works fine. I also enabled Django logs to send an email in case of errors and I notiest that I'm receiving also a lot of email like: "Invalid HTTP_HOST header: 'xxx.xxx'" For me it's not clear if I need to change something into Elastic Beanstalk configuration file (configuring only the allowed hosts) or if it's possible to block not allowed hosts at load balancer level. Some examples are welcome. -
