Django count object views on a practically and fair base
I was searching for a solution to practically and fair track views/hit's of my post elements. Sadly all solutions I found where based on the users IP or Session-Key. In practices such a solution can be used but is somehow also very stupid I guess. All these information are coming from the client directly and can be faked either be logging-in again and get a new session key or using a proxy/VPN etc... There are several automatons to accomplish such a task at scale, see how the music industry, especially spotify gets frauded by such attacks. My Idea now is to temporary bound a view/hit to the user for at least 24 hrs. After time has went by, the table gets cleared out by celery as a periodical task. Before deleting the temporary user counted hit, celery syncs all hits to the actual post object, as this is just a IntegerField I can count-up using '+=' A model for this could look like this: class Hit(models.Model): content_type = models.ForeignKey(ContentType, limit_choices_to=hit_post_models, on_delete=models.CASCADE) object_id = models.PositiveIntegerField() content_object = GenericForeignKey('content_type', 'object_id') viewer = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE) date = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True) Now I'm at the point to get a bit confused by the actual counting implementation. … -
how to get parent object from child object in python
I have two models(classes) that one inherits from another. GRESubjectCertificate as parent class GRESubjectCertificate(LanguageCertificate): quantitative = models.PositiveSmallIntegerField() verbal = models.PositiveSmallIntegerField() analytical_writing = models.DecimalField( max_digits=2, decimal_places=1, ) total = models.PositiveSmallIntegerField() and GREBiologyCertitficate as child: class GREBiologyCertificate(GRESubjectCertificate): cellular_and_molecular = models.PositiveSmallIntegerField() organismal = models.PositiveSmallIntegerField() ecology_and_evolution = models.PositiveSmallIntegerField() I want to cast an object from GREBiologyCertificate to GRESubjectCertificate by parent class name in lower but it does not work. I have used before this solution to convert child object to parent object but now it fails. instance1 = GREBiologyCertificate() instance2 = instance1.gresubjectcertificate 'GREBiologyCertificate' object has no attribute 'gresubjectcertificate' -

Content of database not showing up in Django
I have some problems to get the content out of the django database. I'm a bloody beginner at django so I did some tutorials. They've worked fine. Now I want to reproduce them in my own project with own variables so I can see if I've understood all the stuff. So to come to my problem I initalized my modules in models.py from django.db import models class Aboutme(models.Model): author = models.CharField(max_length=30) ... This works because I could add content to the database. So there is no mistake. Now in the views.py from django.shortcuts import render from portfolio.models import Aboutme def portfolio_index(request): aboutme = Aboutme.objects.all() context = {'aboutme': aboutme} return render(request, 'portfolio_index.html', context) So finally in my HTML file, called portfolio_index.html, I call the content via <h1>{{ aboutme.author }}</h1> I guess it's right. But the content of author doesn't showup, so what did I miss? I can call static files via django, so couldn't be something wrong with django... Can anyone help. Thanks in advance. -
Passing model database metric to view
I am creating a Django app that displays a certain number of buttons (called tables). Below are my files: model.py class Table(models.Model): id_num = models.IntegerField(verbose_name="Table Number", db_index=True) slug = models.SlugField(max_length=200, db_index=True) max_guest_num = models.IntegerField(verbose_name="Max Number of Guests", default=0) description = models.TextField(verbose_name="Table Note", blank=True) available = models.BooleanField(verbose_name="Availability", default=True) last_checkin_time = models.DateTimeField(verbose_name="Checkin Time") last_checkout_time = models.DateTimeField(verbose_name="Checkout Time") created = models.DateTimeField(verbose_name="Date of creation", auto_now_add=True) updated = models.DateTimeField(verbose_name="Last Updated", auto_now=True) admin.py @admin.register(Table) class TableAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin): list_display = ['id_num', 'slug', 'max_guest_num', 'available', 'created', 'updated'] view.py from django.http import HttpResponse from django.shortcuts import render def table_view(request): return render(request, 'tables/table_view.html', {'table_num': '???'}) table_view.htlm (template) {% extends "base.html" %} {% block title %}Dashboard{% endblock %} {% block content %} <h1>Table View</h1> <div id="table_display"> <button class="button table1">Table 1</button> <button class="button table2">Table 2</button> <button class="button table3">Table 3</button> <button class="button table4">Table 4</button> <button class="button table5">Table 5</button> </div> {% endblock %} I have two questions: 1 - In the template, I would like create the number of buttons based on the number of table instances created in the database.

How to create file downloading link without leaking the address of file in Django
This might perhaps be a simple question, but I somehow just can not find the solution. I am trying to develop a website using Django where a user uploads an mp3 file and then requests to process their uploaded file. I perform some processes on users' uploaded mp3 file and then provide them a demo of the result (a demo.mp3 file). So, they can download the demo of their result for free. After paying, they'll be able to download the full version of the processed mp3 file (full.mp3 file). I produce and store the demo and the full version of the results at the same time (as a user submits a request). I do not want users to be able to access the full.mp3 file unless they have paid. Currently, I create two random strings of 32 characters for each user's request. I store these strings in the Django model (dir_code and demo_dir_code fields as shown below) and then create two directories on the server (within the MEDIA_ROOT directory) with the name of these strings. class Request(models.Model): dir_code = models.CharField(max_length=32, null=False, blank=False, default='') demo_dir_code = models.CharField(max_length=32, null=True, blank=True, default='') ... In one of these directories, I put the results of … -

Heroku release fails on Key Error: 'user' for established Django project
After minor edits to the database (SQLite) and a revision number in settings.py I tried to push the changes to Heroku, which initially declared that their were unpulled files; this made no sense as this is my private project and a similar update worked two days before.

Django: Store a CSS class in database
So I made an HTML button and on clicking to it, a CSS class is added to it using some Jquery/javascript logic. Is there any way I can store this animation on my database so that on page refresh the class should still stay. Or if I can do that with Javascript. A little guidance would be appreciated.

What is an effective way to bulk create objects with related objects in django?
I have the following models: class LocationPoint(models.Model): latitude = models.DecimalField(max_digits=16, decimal_places=12) longitude = models.DecimalField(max_digits=16, decimal_places=12) class Meta: unique_together = ( ('latitude', 'longitude',), ) class GeoLogEntry(models.Model): device = models.ForeignKey(Device, on_delete=models.PROTECT) location_point = models.ForeignKey(LocationPoint, on_delete=models.PROTECT) recorded_at = models.DateTimeField(db_index=True) created_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True, db_index=True) I have lots of incoming records to create (probably thousands at once). Currently I create them like this: # Simplified map function contents (removed mapping from dict as it's unrelated to the question topic points_models = map(lambda point: LocationPoint(latitude=latitude, longitude=longitude), points) LocationPoint.objects.bulk_create( points_models, ignore_conflicts=True ) # Simplified map function contents (removed mapping from dict as it's unrelated to the question topic geo_log_entries = map( lambda log_entry: GeoLogEntry(device=device, location_point=LocationPoint.objects.get(latitude=latitude, longitude=longitude), recorded_at=log_entry.recorded_at), log_entries ) GeoLogEntry.objects.bulk_create(geo_log_entries, ignore_conflicts=True) But I think it's not very effective because it runs N SELECT queries for N records. Is there a better way to do that? I use Python 3.9, Django 3.1.2 and PostgreSQL 12.4. -

Getting foreign key values from Django values()
I am getting data objects from Django models using tabledata=Entity.objects.filter(quarter=1) Using this method, I am able to extract the values of the objects specified by the foreign key like so tabledata[0].creator.name However when I changed the code to tabledata=Entity.objects.filter(quarter=1).values() I can extract only foreign key values but not the values of the object data linked with the foreign key. Something like tabledata[0][creator][name] does not work Is there a way to extract the values this way? -

Is it considered good practice using too many factories in pytest?
I am trying to write tests for Django/DjangoREST project. I have decided to use pytest. I have poor experience in writing tests for Django projects specifically. So I am confused now. Here is an example: @pytest.mark.django_db def test_some_view( api_client, simple_user, model1_factory, model2_factory, ... # many other model factories modelN_factory ): # ... # creating here other objects that really depends on each other # ... model2_obj = ... # model2 object on its own side depends on model3, model4... and so on model1_objs = [] for i in range(10): model1_objs.append(model1_factory(some_field=100, some_model2_rel=model2_obj) assert len(model1_objs) == 1, "Created items with duplicate `some_field`" As you can see I have too many factories to be used in one test. But looking at my model structure right now, I can't think of a better way. Is it ok to use so many factories for one test? Or should I find some issues related to my tables' relations? Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance -

How to correctly configure for page refresh with Vuejs frontend served by nginx proxying to gunicorn + django?
I have a production set up as follows; Django REST Framework backend Vuejs frontend Docker container that builds Vuejs for production and copies to Django Docker container /static/ and /template/ folders nginx reverse proxy to handle incoming requests Everything works fine when I navigate to home page (no backend API calls on homepage) and then navigate around the SPA using the navigation drawer. I start to get problems when I try to go directly to a Page in the SPA. The backend API requests fail, the response is HTML (I would have expected JSON) and it displays the message from my index.html (SPA page) that javascript is not enabled (the message withing the <noscript> tags). I have seen some people suggest this is related to Vue router being in history mode, which I would like to keep. The main suggested remedy is to add try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html; as a catch all to the nginx config. However, as I am simply proxying all requests to Django to handle the initial stage of routing, and I already have a catch all in my urls.py file (re_path(r"^.*/$", TemplateView.as_view(template_name="index.html"), name="frontend")) then I think I have this covered. Why would the API requests (which … -
