Saving into through table m2m
I'm trying to save into a table that i created to handle many2many relation. I didn't know why, but my form save into table 'Card', but doesn't save into 'Card_id_user' and i don't get why.

How to restrict a custom validator to only pushing errors to field.errors and not django messages?
I am using a custom validator on a model field. Model field: html_content = models.TextField(blank=True, verbose_name=_("HTML content"), validators=[validate_template_syntax]) Validator: def validate_template_syntax(source): try: Template(source) except (TemplateSyntaxError, TemplateDoesNotExist) as err: raise ValidationError(str(err)) However, when the validator error is triggered, it pushes the error to both the django messages framework (messages) and field.errors, so in a template if I am rendering other messages alongside a form the error is displayed twice. How do I restrict the validator to only pushing the error to the field errors context? -
GET products and images from two Django models, by filtering the product name and accessing the database only once
I have two Django models for an eCommerce website: class Product(models.Model): name=models.CharField(max_length=300) description=models.CharField(max_length=10000) class Thumnbnail(models.Model): thumnbnail=models.ImageField(null=True) product=models.ForeignKey(Product, related_name='related_product', on_delete=models.CASCADE) The user will input some keywords, and I filter on the product names with that keyword, and show only those products. With every product, on the results page, I want immediately all its product thumbnails to be loaded and shown as well. How can I retrieve both models in the same viewset and same queryset, in an efficient way? I know I can achieve this with two separate querysets, one being queryset = Product.objects.filter(name__contains="Fanta").all() return queryset and the other viewset for the thumnails queryset = Product.objects.select_related('thumbnail').filter(name__contains="Fanta").all() return queryset # I will create another serializer to only show the thumbnails, for this specific queryset I might not have written the last one most correctly, I am just writing pseudo-code, but I know how to do it. My point is, I need to do the same filtering of the product_names with the input keywords twice, once to retrieve the product names and descriptions, in a ProductViewset, and one more time the same filtering, to get their thumbnails, from a ThumbnailViewset. How do I avoid this, and do the filtering only once? I know … -

Django model ImageField creates a nested folder each time it uploads file
I'm sure I'm missing something silly, but I'm confused. I have the following model for my profile: class Profile(models.Model): user = models.OneToOneField(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE) image = models.ImageField( default="default.jpg", upload_to="profile_pics/", validators=[FileExtensionValidator(["jpeg", "jpg", "png"])], ) def __str__(self): return f"{self.user.username} Profile" def save(self, *args, **kwargs): if self.image: self.image = make_thumbnail(self.image, size=(200, 200)) super().save(*args, **kwargs) else: super().save(*args, **kwargs) But the profile_pics folder keep nesting (I'm not sure what triggers it, I'm not uploading a new avatar). So my folder structure starts to look like this: And I can't login with that user, as I get an error that reads: SuspiciousFileOperation at /login/ Storage can not find an available filename for "profile_pics/profile_pics/profile_pics/profile_pics/profile_pics/profile_pics/profile_pics/profile_pics/1_0hOa7bn.jpg". Please make sure that the corresponding file field allows sufficient "max_length". My variables in settings.py look normal, I believe: BASE_DIR = Path(__file__).resolve().parent.parent MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "media") MEDIA_URL = "/media/" I'm not sure where to look for the cause of this error. Uploading images to the blog posts work fine, it's just the profile photos behaving like this. Could anyone please help? -
Django queryset renders incorrectly. Just displays <QuerySet [<Modelname: Model object (1)>]>
I'm having a problem with rendering an object from a model. Here is the model. class Quarterback(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=20) When I use a queryset like this... QB = Quarterback.objects.all() It doesn't return the object but this instead. <QuerySet [<Quarterback: Quarterback object (1)>]> The object is being saved by a function inside a form. class PlayerForm(forms.Form): quarterback_name = forms.CharField(label='Quarterback', max_length=100) def save(self): quarterback_name = self.cleaned_data.get('quarterback_name') Quarterback.objects.create(name=quarterback_name) In my admin panel, I can look up this model object and see that it does indeed have the name of a quarterback saved to the table. I'm not sure why my queryset won't return this though. Perhaps it's the save function causing it? -

Why do I get ValidationError on my serializer when I shouldn't be getting one?

ModelForm is not generating any form
So my problem is that even though I have created the forms from my model and provided my views with those forms, the related template is not displaying any form: The following is my forms.py : from django import forms from django.contrib.auth.models import User from .models import Account class UserUpdateForm(forms.ModelForm): email = forms.EmailField(max_length=100) class Meta: model = User fields = ['username', 'email'] class AccountUpdateForm(forms.ModelForm): class Meta: model= Account fields = ['image'] And the next one is my views.py: from .forms importUserUpdateForm, AccountUpdateForm def account(request): user_update_form = UserUpdateForm() profile_update_form = AccountUpdateForm() return render(request, 'blog/profile.html', { 'user_update_form':user_upate_form, 'profile_update_form':profile_update_form }) But the following template does not show any form {% extends './base.html' %} {% load crispy_forms_tags %} {% block content %} <div class="row"> <div class="col-12 d-flex flex-column justify-content-center align-items-start"> <img src="{{ user.account.image.url }}" alt="" class="user-profile-pic"> <label for="user-profile-pic-input">Choose an image</label> <input type="file" class="form-control-files w-100" id="user-profile-pic-input" name='user-profile-pic-input'> </div> </div> <div class="row"> <div class="col-12"> <form method="POST"> {% csrf_token %} {{ user_update_form }} {{ profile_update_form }} <input type="submit" value="Save changes!" class="btn btn-info btn-block"> </form> </div> </div> {% endblock %} -
Return two different models in the same queryset in django
Let's use these 2 simple models for example. A product can have multiple images. models.py class Product(models.Model): name=models.CharField(max_length=300) description=models.CharField(max_length=10000) class Image(models.Model): image=models.ImageField(null=True) product=models.ForeignKey(Product, related_name='related_product', on_delete=models.CASCADE) In my viewset, in get_queryset(), I am fetching list of all the products, based on some keyword filter on the product's name and all their images, with queryset = Product.objects.select_related('image').filter(name__contains="Fanta").all() To the client, I want to return: JSON, a table, list of all the products (product_id, product_name, product_description) and, Another JSON, another separate table of all the images of all the products. (image_id, image, product_id) One way to do this is to make a combined Serializer, which will give me the fields (image_id, image, product_id, product_name, product_description) But I don't want this, since for every image, the product_description will be repeated, and since that one can be quite large, 10.000 characters, I want to find a more optimal way. I want to get the product_description as well, but only once, there is no need to repeat it in every row, for every image of that product. Another way to do this is to make two separate viewsets, each one with its own get_queryset(). But for the product model, I will have to filter the product_names … -

Run Django commands on Elastic Beanstalk SSH -> Missing environment variables
So this has been a long-running problem for me and I'd love to fix it - I also think it will help a lot of others. I'd love to run Django commands after ssh'ing on my Elastic Beanstalk EC2 instance. E. g. python manage.py dumpdata The reason why this is not possible are the missing environment variables. They are present when the server boots up but are unset as soon as the server is running (EB will create a virtual env within the EC2 and delete the variables from there). I've recently figured out that there is a prebuilt script to retrieve the env variables on the EC2 instances: /opt/elasticbeanstalk/bin/get-config environment This will return a stringified object like this: {"AWS_STATIC_ASSETS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY":"xxx-xxx-xxx","DJANGO_KEY":"xxx-xxx-xxx","DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE":"xx.xx.xx","PYTHONPATH":"/var/app/venv/staging-LQM1lest/bin","RDS_DB_NAME":"xxxxxxx":"xxxxxx","RDS_PASSWORD":"xxxxxx"} This is where I'm stuck currently. I think need would need a script, that takes this object parses it and sets the key / values as environment variables. I would need to be able to run this script from the ec2 instance. Or a command to execute from the .ebextensions that would get the variables and sets them. Am I absolutely unsure how to proceed at this point? Am I overlooking something obvious here? Is there someone who has written … -

Model.objects.all() causes issues on a model containing ArrayReferenceField (documentation: https://www.djongomapper.com/using-django-with-mongodb-array-reference-field/). The code works as expected when I remove all the ArrayReferenceFields from the model In the code below, Projects.objects.all() gives the error: from_db_value() missing 1 required positional argument: 'context'. However, printing Projects.objects gives database_models.Projects.objects irrespective of whether the model contains an entry. So the error lies in the all() method. Any one of the following will help: Syntax to fetch all records Modification of model such that it supports all functionalities of ArrayReferenceField Any other workaround so I can store and fetch the values Traceback: Traceback (most recent call last): . . .

Django Rest Framework - Calling .update() from an overriden .create() method inside ModelViewSet
I'm using Django 2.2.x and djangorestframework 3.11.1. Inside a ModelViewSet I had to override the .create() method to customize the default behavior. Sometimes I need to really create a new model instance upon receiving a POST http request, sometimes I need to .update() an existing instance but all I can receive are POST requests (the source is an external server I don't have control over). I know it's a bad idea to conflate create and update... The problem is that whenever my update-instead-of-create logic kicks in, I get the following error: AssertionError: Expected view EventViewSet to be called with a URL keyword argument named "pk". Fix your URL conf, or set the `.lookup_field` attribute on the view correctly I tried two other ways to work around this issue: directly call Event.objects.update() but I realized this is a no go for me, since I overrode the get_serializer() method to alter the raw json payload coming from the external server and I don't want to duplicate the customization logic here. calling the django built-in .update_or_create() method but the filtering was a bit too complex and I still have the same problem of the first bullet My view: class EventViewSet(LoggingMixin, viewsets.ModelViewSet): """this is … -
How to deserialize array of objects with no name?
So I have array of object being POSTed to my view with shape like this: [{"id": 5, "is_read": true}, {"id": 6, "is_read": false}] I want to find a way of deserializing that in my DRF serializer. It is possible to have nested serializers when your array has name, that is, is like this: "arrayName": [] instead of just like this: []. With nested serializers I could write something like this: class MarkReadItemDeserializer(serializers.Serializer): id = serializers.PrimaryKeyRelatedField(queryset=Message.objects.all()) is_read = serializers.BooleanField() class MarkReadDeserializer(serializers.Serializer): arrayName = MarkReadItemDeserializer(many=True) Now this obviously doesn't work in my case because my array is not named arrayName. Any idea how I could go about this?
