using values in html to scripts (Django, Mapbox)
I am making an app using Django and Mapbox. Here is my code that I have a question about: {% for center in drop_in_centers} <script> new mapboxgl.Marker({ "color": 'red' }) .setLngLat([-73.959, 40.795]) .setPopup(new mapboxgl.Popup().setHTML("<h1>Manhattan</h1><h2>New York, NY</h2>")) .addTo(map) </script> {% endfor %} I am trying to use the values of drop_in_centers in the script that I have in my html code. drop_in_centers is a list from a JSON file as below: [{'center_name': 'Living Room', 'borough': 'Bronx', 'address': '800 Barretto Street; Bronx, NY\n10474', 'comments': 'Open 24 hours', 'postcode': '10474', 'latitude': '40.816615', 'longitude': '-73.889883', ......}] So I want to use the latitude and longitude to fill up the value for setLngLat([XX.XXX, XX.XXX]) and other values to populate .setHTML("XXXXXXXXX") How can I do this? -

Django Rest: CORS policy: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' block only one api endpoint
I am using Django 3.1.2 and djangorestframework==3.12.1. I have 32 APIs, among them, all works fine except one. Yeah, Only One API showing this error Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://url.com/api/scraping/' from origin 'https://url.web.app' has been blocked by CORS policy: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource.

How to save dynamically added fields to a form in a model in Django?
I needed to add new fields to a ModelForm when the user clicks on a button and I accomplished that by overriding the init method. def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs): extra_fields = kwargs.pop('extra', 0) super(Form, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs) self.fields['extra_field_count'].initial = extra_fields for index in range(int(extra_fields)): print('loop') # generate extra fields in the number specified via extra_fields self.fields['extra_field_{index}'.format(index=index)] = \ forms.CharField() This seems to work as I'm not getting any errors and the form is valid but I now want to know on how to save the additional fields to my model. -
Wagtail: Problem with multiple ParentalKey fields
I have two models in Wagtail that are set up to be related to each other via ParentalKey fields. I've noticed that this seems to cause problems when trying to publish changes to an entry in the parent model. My models.py looks something like this: class Person(Page): (field definitions here) class ResearchTask(Page): task_contact = ParentalKey(Person, null=True, blank=True, on_delete=models.SET_NULL, related_name='person_task_contact_list') task_manager = ParentalKey(Person, null=True, blank=True, on_delete=models.SET_NULL, related_name='person_task_manager_list') (other field definitions here) When I edit a ResearchTask and assign a person as task_manager, and then edit the Person, even if I make no changes and simply click Publish, I'll get an error like the following: ValidationError at /admin/pages/2172/edit/ {'live_revision': ['page revision instance with id 369 does not exist.']} What's weird is that this revision id refers to a record that does exist and is fact the published revision for the ResearchTask. What's even weirder is that I never have this problem with the first of these two fields, task_contact. Only task_manager seems to cause the revision error. I can assign the same person as both task_contact and task_manager, and only run into an issue with the manager field, and if I remove the task_manager field from the database completely by deleting it … -
Add variable to Django request object in Middleware (once)
class CustomMiddleware: def __init__(self, get_response): self.get_response = get_response def __call__(self, request): response = self.get_response(request) request.variable = 1 response = self.get_response(request) return response This works but it it processing the request twice. I am unsure of how to set this variable after the view has been processed (for every view), only once. process_template_response is not a valid option because it will not work with every view. Is there a better way to do this? -
redis in django doesn't set cache object
According to this django redis example, I do everything this article said. But when I run the project, it never does cache the products. I add two print statement in the views.py: @api_view(['GET']) def view_cached_books(request): if 'product' in cache: print('get') products = cache.get('product') return Response(products, status=status.HTTP_201_CREATED) else: print('set') products = Product.objects.all() results = [product.to_json() for product in products] cache.set(products, results, timeout=CACHE_TTL) return Response(results, status=status.HTTP_201_CREATED) when I go to localhost and refresh the page, it always prints set in the console. I already started the redis-server and tested the server by redis-cli, also did set the CACHES in the settings.py: CACHES = { 'default': { 'BACKEND': 'django_redis.cache.RedisCache', 'LOCATION': 'redis://127.0.0.1:6379/', 'OPTIONS': { 'CLIENT_CLASS': 'django_redis.client.DefaultClient', }, } } and set the INTERNAL_IPS too: INTERNAL_IPS = [ '127.0.0.1:8000', ] and updated the MIDDLEWARE: MIDDLEWARE = [ 'django.middleware.cache.UpdateCacheMiddleware', 'django.middleware.cache.FetchFromCacheMiddleware', ] Can anyone tell me where is the problem? Thanks in advance. -

Graphviz django probelm
I'm a Python Developer currently in the process of making a family website. I am developing a website using the Django framework in Python. I have planned to make an interactive family tree using the Graphviz package in Django. I am able to create a .SVG graph for the family tree from the Python command terminal directly. But when I integrate Grapgviz with Django using django-extensions, it is NOT working. Without implementing this family tree, my website can not be complete. Has anyone in the users group faced similar problems? Any help in this regard will be highly appreciated -

Django compilemessages not discovering 3rd party apps
For some reason, Django's compilemessages is not discovering the locale folders of the 3rd party apps I have installed. Here is my basic project structure: project - setup.py - requirements.txt - virtual environment - project_name - apps - manage.py - translation - project_name - settings The locale_paths are set to LOCALE_PATHS = os.getenv('LOCALE_PATHS', BASE_DIR + '/translation'), When running manage.py makemessages and compilemessages on my localhost, from the base directory where manage.py is located, it will only discover the translation folder, but moving one level up to the project folder and running project_name/manage.py compilemessages will discover and compile the translation folder as well as any installed 3rd party apps' locale folders. This would be fine, if slightly strange, if it worked consistently, but this solution does not hold when we run the build script to deploy to a server. Even when moving up a level, compilemessages will only discover the translation folder with our custom translations and not any 3rd party apps. Does anyone know what could be causing this problem? -

How do I 'Move' a whole Django project 'down' a URL prefix i.e. (localhost ---> localhost/APP_NAME/)?
I'm aware I'm probably not using the correct terminology, but when i developed my Django project it would sit on the root URL i.e. http://localhost whereas now I'm moving it into production it needs to sit - http://localhost/APP_NAME This is the structure of my project APP_NAME ----APP_NAME ----SECOND_APP I've tried the following, from APP_NAME/urls.py to get to SECOND_APP - ORIGINAL ATTEMPT path('', include('second_app.urls')) --to--> url(r'^APP_NAME/', include('second_app.urls')), but I keep getting a 404 error, so it's obviously not working!

Is it possible to create the database prior to django running any migration commands?

Django order events by calendar date instead of date posted
I have a newsletter home page that has an events calendar on the side. Sometimes events come up and I need to insert them between two other events. Is there a way I can do this automatically in Django? I know how to order by date posted - for things like blog posts - but I don't see anywhere in the docs how to do this by actual calendar date. This is the code from my view: class HomeView(ListView): model = NewsLetter template_name = 'home.html' def events(self): return Event.objects.all() class PastEventView(ListView): model = PastEvent template_name = 'events.html' ordering = ['event_date'] The past events is alright, but I don't know how to code the order by for the events function under the HomeView class. Any help here would be greatly appreciated. -

Django post request looping on same route when using more than 1 replica on Kubernetes cluster
I'm new to kubernetes and was trying to deploy a django app in a shared kubernetes cluster on Kubesail. I was pulling a docker image to run as a container on the cluster. Everything worked as expected until I increased the number of replicas to 2 instead of 1. When I made it 2, my post requests started looping. Meaning, If I'm trying to login into my application, I was again taken back to the login page despite entering the right credentials. Also no user session was created making my app completely inaccessible since all the routes require login. When I made the replicas revert back to 1, everything was normal and app was functioning as expected. Can someone explain why is it so? or can maybe tell what I did wrong?
