(begginner) how complete is really django?
Hello i am new in python programmation and programation in general(even if i have some IT related knowledge) i have few basic questions to be sure about how django work so as i understand its a framework for web, and you can use it fully with python What are the limitations of django compared to "basic" html/css/sql/php/js combo ? i also know that django is server side framework which make it work kinda like an app running on your web browser Is it possible/most convenient to do a website ONLY by using python with django ? does the framework really take care of all by itself and we can use python for anything ? How does it handle sql ? does it do some kind of local sql base ?(i only knew basic of sql) Thank you -

NoReverseMatch at /admin/ when add custom url
I'm trying to add a custom page in django admin. I wrote code as I've learned, but everytime I try to access the custom page I created, NoReverseMatch exception keeps occuring. NoReverseMatch at /admin/order/order/date_view/ Reverse for 'app_list' with keyword arguments '{'app_label': ''}' not found. 1 pattern(s) tried: ['admin/(?P<app_label>auth|fcuser|product|order)/$'] I've tried various code I could find online, but none is working. Following is my code. class OrderAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin): .... def get_urls(self): urls = super().get_urls() # urls = super(OrderAdmin, self).get_urls() custom_urls = [ # path('date_view/', self.admin_site.admin_view(self.custom_date_view)) # url(r'^date_view/', self.admin_site.admin_view(self.custom_date_view)) path('date_view/', self.custom_date_view) ] return custom_urls + urls def custom_date_view(self, request): context = dict() return TemplateResponse(request, 'admin/order_date_view.html', context) None of the comment solved the issue.

Django foreign key field not updating with selected value from React Select component
I have a webpage in my issue tracker project that allows a project manager to assign a user to a project. I am using React Select to allow the manager to select a user from a dropdown. When they click the add user button, the selected value gets sent to the backend through an api call. I have an APIView called assignuser, which takes in the post request and updates the user foreign key field in my Project model. Am I referencing the selected value wrong? I have tried sending selectedValue.value to my backend but it keeps on coming up as undefined.

Django custom form - is_valid does not call clean method when __init__ method available
I have the following custom form code in Django: class JoinMeetingForm(forms.Form): meeting_id = forms.UUIDField(help_text="Enter the UUID") def __init__(self,user,*args,**kwargs): self.user=user super(JoinMeetingForm,self).__init__(*args) def clean_meeting_id(self): data = self.cleaned_data['meeting_id'] meeting = Meeting.objects.filter(pk=data) querySuccess = False if len(meeting) == 1: if(meeting[0].joined_user==None): querySuccess = True # ToDo return data First, I call JoinMeetingForm(request.user), which calls the init method. Then, I call form.is_valid(), however, this does not call the clean_meeting_id() method - why is this the case? Strangely, if I comment out the init method, the is_valid() method calls the clean_meeting_id() method. Thanks in advance! -
ValueError: The view mode.views.userSettings didn't return an HttpResponse object. It returned None instead
I am trying to fix this error but I don't know what is the reason for getting it. I am working on a Django Project trying to add a Theme Selection Functionality. The user can select the theme either Light or Dark and it reflects in the backend by the CSS file under the setting.value. The idea is that when a user selects a theme it is saved in the backend and it doesn't chage(unless another theme is chosen). The problem now is that when I refresh the page it returns back to the initial theme and I receive the below error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\User\Desktop\Project\venv\lib\site-packages\django\core\handlers\exception.py", line 47, in inner response = get_response(request) File "C:\Users\User\Desktop\Project\venv\lib\site-packages\django\core\handlers\base.py", line 186, in _get_response self.check_response(response, callback) File "C:\Users\User\Desktop\Project\venv\lib\site-packages\django\core\handlers\base.py", line 307, in check_response raise ValueError( ValueError: The view mode.views.userSettings didn't return an HttpResponse object.

Many-to-many and hierarchical database design
i'm designing a database and run into some problems: I have a Document entity consisting of many fields. Mostly i want to use the same version of that document but sometimes users should be able to customize some of the fields for a specific usage of the document. Not customized fields should use the value of the parent document as a default. Changes to the parent document should get propagated to any not customized field of a specific usage. I have a table Document: Document: id | field1| field2 | field3| parentDocumentId For parent documents is parentDocumentId = Null. Customized usages of a document have the new value for the customized fields saved and for not customized fields simply null. Is this a good design? Furthermore the Document entity has a many-To-many relationship with another entity Course. My problem now is when i look at a row of Document with parentDocumentId != null and courses = null i can't determine if the relationship is either not customized by the user yet and i should use the value of the parent document or the field is customized by the user and simply has no courses. How can i solve that? Thanks -
Django Error - Reverse for 'new_bid' with arguments '('',)' not found. 1 pattern(s) tried:
I'm somewhat new to Django and creating a way for users to 'bid' on items, similar to ebay. I am getting the error: Reverse for 'new_bid' with arguments '('',)' not found. 1 pattern(s) tried: ['new_bid/(?P[0-9]+)$'] I know I have some things mixed up, specifically the end of views.py in the return render request but I'm not sure what I need to have there.

Return the instance of the model, if a value in it contains a string passed in by a user. Django Rest Framework, filtering
So lets say i have a model called Article, which hold a field called article_title(CharFiled). On the client side, the user passes in a keyword and sends it to the server. Can i make a serialized view, which returns every database instance, on a condition that it contains the passed in keyword in the article_title field? Is there a way to implement this? -
When building forms in Django, is it good practice to use one 'fat' model to contain all my fields for multiple forms?
Context: I am building a car dealership app and have multiple forms to create such as: A basic contact requesting a name, email, phone and comments. A service form requesting the above along with the users make, model and mileage A sales form, requesting all the above again along with a few other similarly relevant questions. Problem: So I'm trying to find out is it best practice to have one 'fat' model containing all these fields and then create multiple forms from them or to create a model per form? I know that I should stick to the DRY practices but I would really benefit from a stronger understanding. -

Django - Redis SESSION_ENGINE only allow one session at a time
I would love to use redis (django-redis-cache) at my website as SESSION_ENGINE and site cache. The problem is that I only want to allow one session per user at a time. Previously It did that using the following signal: @receiver(user_logged_in) def remove_other_sessions(sender, user, request, **kwargs): # remove other sessions old_sessions = Session.objects.filter(usersession__user=user) if request.session.session_key: old_sessions = old_sessions.exclude(session_key=request.session.session_key) old_sessions.delete() # save current session request.session.save() # create a link from the user to the current session (for later removal) UserSession.objects.get_or_create( user=user, session=Session.objects.get(pk=request.session.session_key) ) and the following model: class UserSession(models.Model): user = models.ForeignKey(settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL, on_delete=models.CASCADE) session = models.OneToOneField(Session, on_delete=models.CASCADE) which was working pretty well so far. Sadly I made the experience that when using a scaleable Database like Galera wired HTTP error 400 are getting returned by my site as the session key seems to be unreachable on high I/O, that's why I wanted to switch over to Redis and have it all located at the In-Memory Database Redis provides. But how I can fetch session keys to check if there is already a session existing for a user and if so delete the session like shown above ... Thanks in advance -
Make Calculations and Output result
I am creating an App using Django and React. I would like the user to input several numeric values on the Frontend and based on these values to perform some calculations and output the result in the Frontend (also store the values in the database). I am confused on where on the backend I should add the logic to perform the calculations. On views.py or admin.py or on another file? I am currently trying to create the logic on the admin.py file but I am not sure if this will allow me to make the result visible on the frontend. -
Sort by aggregated foreign field in Django ModelAdmin changelist
In my current project I am trying to set up a simple testing app in Django. For management I use the generated Django admin, but I struggle to include a sortable computed field with best test result in changelist view of a model. My models are as follows (simplified): class Candidate(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=255, null=False) email = models.EmailField(unique=True, null=False) class Test(models.Model): candidate = models.ForeignKey(Candidate, on_delete=models.CASCADE, null=False) result = models.PositiveIntegerField(null=True) class Question(models.Model): text = models.TextField(null=False) correct_answer = models.CharField(max_length=1, choices=OPTIONS, null=False) class Answer(models.Model): test = models.ForeignKey(Test, on_delete=models.CASCADE) question = models.ForeignKey(Question, on_delete=models.CASCADE, related_name='answers') answer = models.CharField(max_length=1, choices=Question.OPTIONS, null=True) A candidate may have multiple tests and I want to display a field with his best result in the changelist view and be able to sort by it. The result is a percentage of correct answers (Answer.question.correct_answer == Answer.answer) out of all answers with the same test FK. Discovered I cannot use a custom computed field defined by a function, because Django then cannot sort by it as sorting needs modification of a queryset which translates directly to SQL. So I added the Test.result field with calculated percentages (which denormalized the scheme :-/ ) and try to add annotated field in queryset with SELECT MAX(Test.result) … -
