How to call a function from models.py to views or template
I am a beginner in Django and Python. I am creating a Payroll project whose calculations are done using a function from models.py. The user must input the variables through templates and save it to sql. Then search for the employee (through templates again) and output his payroll details. That is the time when I want to use the calculation function. Data from the database is working and is outputted by the templates. As for the calculated data, it simply isn't showing. I have been trying to use the function to no avail and I've searched for 3 days already. I am at lost at what to do now. models.py from django.db import models #Class in model.py acts as a table in database class Add_Employee(models.Model): name = models.CharField (max_length = 150, default = '', null = False) position = models.CharField (max_length = 150, default = '', null = False) email = models.EmailField (max_length = 150, default = '', null = False) address = models.CharField (max_length = 500, default = '', null = False) basic_pay = models.FloatField(default=None) overtime_hours = models.IntegerField(default=None) allowance = models.FloatField(default=None) days_leave = models.IntegerField(default=None) other_deductions = models.FloatField(default=None) #Django admin page; the table will show the name def __str__(self): return … -
Can I create a Django object instance using a previous object's value, race-condition-free?
TLDR When creating a new object using Django ORM, can I, in a transactionally safe / race-condition-free manner, set a field's value based on an already existing object's value, say F('sequence_number') + 1 where F('sequence_number') refers not to the current object (which does not exist yet) but to any given object in the table? Longer version I have a model Issue with properties sequence_number and sequence_prefix. There is a unique constraint on (sequence_prefix, sequence_number) (e.g. DATA-1). class Issue(models.Model): created_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True) sequence_prefix = models.CharField(blank=True, default="", max_length=32) sequence_number = models.IntegerField(null=False) class Meta: constraints = [ models.UniqueConstraint( fields=["sequence_prefix", "sequence_number"], name="unique_sequence" ) ] The idea is that issues —for auditing purposes— have unique sequence numbers for each variable (user-determined) prefix: when creating an issue the user selects a prefix, e.g. REVIEW or DATA, and the sequence number is the incremented value of the previous issue with that same sequence. So it's like an AutoField but dependent on the value of another field for its value. There can not be two issues DATA-1, but REVIEW-1 and DATA-1 and OTHER-1 all may exist at the same time. How can I tell Django when creating an Issue, that it must find the most recent object for … -
django admin - Define instance of formset on dynamic creation of inlines
Here's what I try to achieve: I have a Category and an Author model. To every Category I can save n authors. Category is an MPTT (tree) model. I need to show on the admin detail/change view in the admin a given category, all authors AND all the children-categories AND their authors. I can create the level-2-author-inlines very nicely like this: def get_inline_instances(self, request, obj=None): inline_list = super().get_inline_instances(request, obj) for child_category in self.object_from_request(request).children.all(): inline_list.append( ChildAuthorInline(self.model, self.admin_site, child_category=child_category)) return inline_list My Inline class looks like this: class ChildAuthorInline(admin.TabularInline): """ Dynamically created inline to show authors of child categories. """ model = Author extra = 0 fields = ('name',) def __init__(self, parent_model, admin_site, *, child_category): self.child_category = child_category self.verbose_name_plural = _(f'Category {child_category.name}') super().__init__(parent_model, admin_site) def get_queryset(self, request): return Author.objects.filter(category=self.child_category) So far, so good. The problem is: When I want to add a new author to a child category, the instance of the formset is still the parent category. I tried everything but wasn't able to inject the child category and use it in the original part of the formset. And yes, I could overwrite the template or copy a bunch of django code, but this is too hack for my taste... There … -
django rest connecting with react trough INSTALLED_APPS
I'm running trough my m8 project (Django Rest Framework + React) and there is something like this: INSTALLED_APPS = [ 'corsheaders', 'rest_framework', 'rest_framework.authtoken', 'django_database.apps.DjangoDatabaseConfig', 'rest_api.apps.RestApiConfig', 'front', 'django.contrib.admin', 'django.contrib.auth', 'django.contrib.contenttypes', 'django.contrib.sessions', 'django.contrib.messages', 'django.contrib.staticfiles', ] Now, I understand that django needs to know that there is a frontend app to connect to, but in front directory are those files: settings.py urls.py admin.py apps.py tests.py views.py I'm not really sure, but why does python files are in frontend ? Without urls.py and 'views.pyfiles django server startup fails with some linking error tofront`. urls.py from django.urls import path from .views import index urlpatterns = [ path('', index) ] views.py from django.shortcuts import render def index(request, *args, **kwargs): return render(request, 'front/index.html') I wonder what is this magic ? Searching trough some tutorials covering django rest and react app connection some of them does apply this strategy, but some does not. Can someone explain ? Haven't found any solution in django docs by now. Is there a better way of doing this ? Will CORS_ORIGIN_ALLOW_ALL or CORS_ORIGIN_WHITELIST be the same ? -

How to work around heroku 30 seconds web request timeout
I am working on a Django App, which has been deployed on Heroku. A search function in the App uses an API to fetch data from a remote server. This server can take upto a minute to send a response. Problem is, Heroku's web request times out after 30 seconds. I have seen some similar problems here where people have been advised to make their code more efficient. Problem here is that I do not have control over the remote server and it's processes. Is there a way I can bypass this limit or should I be looking to host elsewhere? -
why is external address lookup javascript causing: ValueError: Missing staticfiles manifest entry?
My django App runs fine on local server and ok on heroku with DEBUG = False in settings.py. When DEBUG = True App crashes on Heroku with heroku log message: File "/app/.heroku/python/lib/python3.6/site-packages/django/contrib/staticfiles/storage.py", line 423, in stored_name raise ValueError("Missing staticfiles manifest entry for '%s'" % clean_name) ValueError: Missing staticfiles manifest entry for 'libraries/ideal-postcode/dist/ideal-postcodes-autocomplete.js' So far as per many other questions raised for this issue. But, this javascript is listed fine in the json manifest created using manage.py collectstatic Snippet "libraries/ideal-postcode/dist/ideal-postcodes-autocomplete.js": "libraries\\ideal-postcode\\dist\\ideal-postcodes-autocomplete.b7dbf9579b39.js", "libraries/ideal-postcode/dist/ideal-postcodes-autocomplete.min.js": "libraries\\ideal-postcode\\dist\\ideal-postcodes-autocomplete.min.75f7e4c76264.js", This is the only static resource to cause a problem. The ideal-postcodes-autocomplete.js is an address lookup (used by my form fields). Snippet var IdealPostcodes; (function (IdealPostcodes) { IdealPostcodes.API_URL = "api.ideal-postcodes.co.uk"; IdealPostcodes.TLS = true; IdealPostcodes.VERSION = "v1"; IdealPostcodes.DEFAULT_TIMEOUT = 10000; /* * STRICT_AUTHORISATION forces authorization header usage on * autocomplete API which increases latency due to overhead * OPTIONS request */ IdealPostcodes.STRICT_AUTHORISATION = false; ; }) I've been through very many of the previous answers but no help and spent ages making changes and re-testing. Is the problem because the script calls an external resource? If so, how do I get around this problem. If not, what am I doing wrong? Can post the full ideal-postcodes-autocomplete.js if it helps. -

Using Django ORM in plain python script / infinite task
I have application in plain python with some basic libraries. I'm looking to use Django as main framework for this application and maintain frontend. My question is, can I still use my already written application and switch to Django ORM and maybe controlling the application via some callbacks. This application is running infinitely with asincio library. Or is there any way how to run background tasks in Django? I found celery but I'm not sure about starting this process. Maybe use of some Django commands and supervisor. TLDR: I need some way of running background task (command, controller, python script) infinitely long without user interaction. -

How is this done to work in production, Django
I have a Django rest API. The API consumes Google Vision Api. When I try a call with a local file on localhost, it works just perfectly. However, when I do the same in production on a live server, the file is not found. Basically, what am doing is getting a local file path to do the vision API query like this: http://localhost:8000/api/search/image?q=/Users/user/Documents/graphics/images/testlogo.png That works fine. But if I try the same thing when the site is live in production http://vesm.com/api/search/image?q=/Users/user/Documents/graphics/images/testlogo.png I get a file not found exception. So my question is, how do I do a get request with a locally stored image? I am trying to create an image search API. What I have been doing is when someone picks a file, I get the local file path, as vision API just requires the file path. Any guide here will be helpful. -
