Django pagination by date (week)
I am making a website that displays this week's soccer games from the day you open the website to six days later (current week), and i want to paginate by date. example <previous> <19 feb - 25 feb> <next> then when i press next <previous> <26 feb - 4 march> <next> in views.py. matches is a list of dictionaries, each dictionary is a single game that contains the date of the game and other info and its sorted by date def home(request): start = datetime.now().date() end = today + timedelta(6) matches = request_games(today, after_week) return render(request, "sporty/home.html",{ "matches": matches, "start" : start, "end": end }) in home.html {% for match in matches %} //match info {% endfor %} -
Django Logging: Output all Logger messages to a file
I'm trying to do some debugging and cannot figure out how I can get all the usual server output that I would normally get on a development server. Here's my logging file: LOGGING = { 'version': 1, 'disable_existing_loggers': False, 'handlers': { 'catch_all_logger': { 'level': 'DEBUG', 'class': 'logging.FileHandler', 'filename': os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'somelogfile.log'), }, }, 'loggers': { 'django': { 'handlers': ['catch_all_logger'], 'level': 'DEBUG', 'propagate': True, }, 'django.request': { 'handlers': ['catch_all_logger'], 'level': 'DEBUG', 'propagate': True, }, 'django.server': { 'handlers': ['catch_all_logger'], 'level': 'DEBUG', 'propagate': True, }, 'django.security.DisallowedHost': { 'handlers': ['catch_all_logger'], 'propagate': True, }, 'django.security.csrf': { 'handlers': ['catch_all_logger'], 'propagate': True, }, }, } When I do cat somelogfile.log, I get almost useless information: Bad request: /url/where/bad/request However, the documentation says that django.server for instance will show status code and a message with it as extra context on the INFO level with HTTP 5XX as ERROR and 4XX as WARNING. Do I have the logging level setup incorrectly? Would love some guidance as I'm puzzled. -
Multiple Values into initial form data
I am attempting to render a form which will have certain fields prefilled based on the Primary Key. Im currently only able to successfully prefill one field (Project). Do I have to define all the other fields in my view? This is my Model class Document(models.Model): DOC_TYPE = ( ('Proposal', 'Proposal'), ('Invoice', 'Invoice'), ('Receipt', 'Receipt'), ('Other', 'Other') ) docName = models.CharField("Document Name", max_length=1000, null=True) docType = models.CharField("Document Type", max_length=10, null = True, choices=DOC_TYPE) company = models.ForeignKey('project.Company', on_delete=models.PROTECT, blank = True, null = True) customer = customer = models.ForeignKey('customer.Customer', on_delete=models.PROTECT, null = True) project = models.ForeignKey('project.Project', on_delete=models.PROTECT, blank = True, null = True) docFile = models.FileField("Document", upload_to='newdocuments/') note = models.TextField("Note About Document", blank = True, null = True) dateUpload = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True) This is my View def ProjectAddDocument(request, pk): project = Project.objects.get(id=pk) form = ProjectAddDocumentForm(initial={'project':pk}) if request.method == 'POST': form = ProjectAddDocumentForm(request.POST) if form.is_valid(): form.save() return redirect('file_list') context = {'form':form} return render(request, 'project/adddocument.html', context) This is my URL path('adddocument/<int:pk>/', views.ProjectAddDocument, name='proj_document'), This is my Form class ProjectAddDocumentForm(ModelForm): class Meta: model = Document fields = ['docName', 'docType', 'company', 'customer', 'project', 'note', 'docFile'] -
How to validate and redirect on fail in CreateView get
I am trying to do some sanity checks in a CreateView get request and want to redirect user to a different URL in case the sanity checks fail. How can I achieve this? For example: class JobCreateView(LoginRequiredMixin, CreateView): model = Job form_class = JobFormClass # This does not let me redirect on return since a dictionary return is expected and redirect is not acceptable def get_context_data(self, **kwargs): if not self.request.user.is_superuser: messages.add_message( self.request, messages.ERROR, _("You are not authorized! Bugger off!") ) return redirect("home") # The user is good to proceed return super().get_context_data(**kwargs) This gives me back the following error: context must be a dict rather than HttpResponseRedirect. I am using get_context_data because I don't know what to use to be honest. Feel free to suggest something better. My use case in not really a super user check, that just felt like a better example -
Best practice for saving new model instance in Django Rest Framework
I'm new to DRF and I can't wrap my head around where to save new model instances when I POST to my endpoints. I need to overwrite my def create() method because I'm managing nested objects in my queries. I've noticed that I can save new instances from the model Serializer ( def create(self, validated_data)) but also from the associated class view ( def create(self, request)) What's the best practice here? I'm pretty sure I'm confusing major concepts, please indulge me! -

Heroku Django APScheduler not releasing memory after job completes
I have a django site that is running some heavy computational stuff that is scheduled with APScheduler hosted on Heroku. Everything is working as intended however Heroku is throwing error "Error R14 (Memory quota exceeded)" I have found other posts similar to this, link, issue but they are outdated and I haven't been able to get them to work. My code is listed below. I want this to run Mon-Fri between the hours of 800 and 1600. I am using heroku's PostgreSQL database. Eventually memory usage will get so high it will crash and restart. sched = BlockingScheduler( executors={ 'threadpool': ThreadPoolExecutor(max_workers=1), 'processpool': ProcessPoolExecutor(max_workers=1) } ) @sched.scheduled_job('cron', minute='*/30', day_of_week='mon-fri', hour='8-18', max_instances=1, id="server", executor='threadpool') def _server(): print('Start server') server = Server() server.get_stocks() del server gc.collect() sched.start() I know this is leaking memory because this clock.py memory usage before the server starts. This is after the server has done its' work and rests. If anyone can point me in the right direction I am open to trying anything. Thank you in advanced. -
ModelForm and using a specific queryset
I am creating a form for a model, one of the fields of the model is a ForeignKey. I want the options of the ForeignKey to be the ones related to that instance of the model. to make it clearer, here is some code: views.py def AddOrderDetail(request, pk): Product = Products.objects.get(ProductID=pk) order = Orders.objects.last() locations = Product.productqtys_set.values_list('Sublocation', flat=True).distinct() form = OrderDetailForm(request.POST or None) forms.py class OrderDetailForm(forms.ModelForm): class Meta: model = OrderDetails fields = ( ... 'Location', ... ) now I want the data retrieved from the query that I am performing in the view: locations = Product.productqtys_set.values_list('Sublocation', flat=True).distinct() to be the data that the user can select from while selecting the location of the OrderDetail. Moreover, I have another problem. I want to initialize some fields, I tried using the initial={} while defining the form in view, as shown below: form = OrderDetailForm(request.POST or None, initial={"ProductCode": Product, "OrderID": order, "Location": locations}) but when I do that I get the following error, 'OrderDetailForm' object has no attribute 'ProductCode'. I tried another way in the Function in the view.py file which is the following: form.fields['ProductCode'].initial = Product form.fields['OrderID'].initial = order but sadly, I still get the same error 'OrderDetailForm' object has no … -
Changing the import statement of a 3rd party app
I've a django application where I'm importing a 3rd party app. The app is written for python3, however my application environment is python 2.7 and django 1.11.16 . The 3rd party app works very well with python2 except for one line in the beginning. One of the file of the 3rd party app contains this: from urllib.parse import urlencode, quote . If I change this line to from urllib import urlencode, quote in the virtualenv, it works perfectly, however this is a very bad solution. I don't want to fork the whole application, but is there any other way for the workaround? -
Test webhook error: TLS failure - Stripe connection problem with Django API on Google App Engine
I try to send a test event to a webhook endpoint to my Django Stripe endpoint path('stripe/', views.StripeView) however I get an error Test webhook error: TLS failure. There is no more information and just link to ssllabs when my website has B overall rating. When I was using local testing with stripe listen --forward-to localhost:8007/stripe/ everything was working properly. All my certificates which are set on Google App Engine with flexible environment seems to be working properly. I thought that maybe the problem is associated with CSRF therefore I removed GenericAPIView and I added decorator @csrf_exempt in accordance to the Stripe documentation however it still does not work. Does anyone have an idea how can I solve this problem? @require_POST @csrf_exempt def StripeView(request): # serializer_class = StripeSerializer # def post(self, request): payload = request.body try: sig_header = request.META['HTTP_STRIPE_SIGNATURE'] except: return HttpResponse(status=400) ... -
How to make choosing group in admin.py mandatory?

How can I force it, to ensure that user added will be in a group? -
Django migration is not changing database in AWS Elastic Beanstalk

Queryset filter by variable that's in another queryset
I am trying to filter a queryset by a variable in another queryset that hasn't been set yet. I know it sounds confusing so let me show you. Views.py def ViewThreadView(request, thread): posts = Post.objects.filter(post_thread=thread) thread = Thread.objects.get(pk=thread) form_class = QuickReplyForm thread_name = thread.name return render(request, 'thread/viewthread.html', {'thread': thread, 'posts': posts, 'thread_name': thread_name}) As of now, if I want to access the post author in the template, I'd do this {% for post in posts %} post.author {% endfor %} My question is, how do I access the tables of post.author. So if I want to filter how many posts that author has, I want to do something like user_posts = Post.objects.get(author=post.author). But that can't work in the views because "posts" is a queryset and not a value. How can I do this? -

How buid a django architecture for multiple user interfaces working with the same data
(don't judge strictly pls, this is my first question) I have a model like Company. Two user interfaces: an administrator's cabinet(Cabinet) (not native django) and an interface for ordinary users (Main). Let's use the example of a list of companies. On the Cabinet, I want to show the companies that he can edit, on the Main - all public companies. I doubt for how to properly organize this moment on the backend. What I think? Make the base class CompanyListService in the service layer, write general logic in it, and separately each interface has its own class: CabinetCompanyListService(CompanyListService), MainCompanyListService(CompanyListService) Pass the model manager to it during initialization(Company is django Model): class CompanyListService: def __init__(self, manager=Company.main_manager): self.manager = manager then I can get here all the data options needed for the front class MainCompanyListService(CompanyListService): def get_companies(self): return self.manager.get_publish_companies() class CabinetCompanyListService(CompanyListService): def get_companies(self): return self.manager.get_available_companies_where_user_is_staff() class MainManager(TreeManager): def get_available_companies(self): """Includes blocked, rejected etc...

How to Create a User in nested serializer using generic ListCreateAPIView?
I am working on genericAPIViews in DRF. I am using a built in user model with UserProfile model having one to one relation with it. But I am unable to create user due to nested serializer. My question is that how I can create my built in User model and Profile User model at the same time as UserProfile model is nested in User model.Here is my code: Models.py USER_CHOICE = ( ('SS', 'SS'), ('SP', 'SP') ) LOGIN_TYPE = ( ('Local', 'Local'), ('Facebook', 'Facebook'), ('Google', 'Google') ) class UserProfile(models.Model): user = models.OneToOneField(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE, related_name='profile') cell_phone = models.CharField(max_length=15, blank=True, default="", null=True) country = models.CharField(max_length=50, blank=True, default="", null=True) state = models.CharField(max_length=50, blank=True, default="", null=True) profile_image = models.FileField(upload_to='user_images/', default='', blank=True) postal_code = models.CharField(max_length=50, blank=True, default="", null=True) registration_id = models.CharField(max_length=200, null=True, blank=True, default=None) active = models.BooleanField(default=True) # roles = models.ForeignKey(Role, null=True, on_delete=models.CASCADE, related_name='role', blank=True) user_type = models.CharField(max_length=50, choices=USER_CHOICE, null=True, blank=True) login_type = models.CharField(max_length=40, choices=LOGIN_TYPE, default='local') reset_pass = models.BooleanField(default=False) confirmed_email = models.BooleanField(default=False) remember_me = models.BooleanField(default=False) reset_code = models.CharField(max_length=200, null=True, blank=True, default="") reset_code_time = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True, blank=True) longitude = models.DecimalField(max_digits=80, decimal_places=10, default=0.00) latitude = models.DecimalField(max_digits=80, decimal_places=10, default=0.00) r_code = models.CharField(max_length=15, null=True, blank=True) refer_user = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE, null=True, blank=True, related_name="user_refer") referred = models.ManyToManyField(User, related_name="user_referred", null=True, blank=True) otp = … -
Update related object with rest framework
Given the following models:- class User(models.Model): first_name = models.CharField() etc. class Relation(models.Model): user = models.ForeignKey(User, related_name='relations', on_delete=models.CASCADE) is_primary = models.BooleanField(default=False) how would I go about creating a serializer and view that can be used to set a particular user's relation to be the primary one? I was hoping to be able to POST something like:- { 'relation': 6 } and for that to find the Relation with ID of 6 and set it's is_primary to True but I can't figure out how to do it. I've tried the serializer like this:- class SetRelationSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer): relation = serializers.PrimaryKeyRelatedField(queryset=Relation.objects.all()) class Meta: model = User fields = ['relation'] and a viewset action like this:- @action(['post'], detail=False) def set_primary_relation(self, request, *args, **kwargs): serializer = self.get_serializer(data=request.data) serializer.is_valid(raise_exception=True) // what do I need in here? return Response(status=status.HTTP_204_NO_CONTENT) Is the only way to do something like:- self.request.user.relations.get(id=serializer.data['relation']).update(is_primary=True) ? Because that seems a bit unpleasant to me. Surely there's a better way?
