Is there a good package do collect all these pages? I probably have 1 million plus pages. How should I create this sitemap? Willing to spend some money too if there is product to do this. -

Django - suing font awersome in unicode form
I want to use font awersome in my project in the way, that user can choose which icon he wants. I found django-fontawesome-5 but there is one problem - there is no access to icon's unicode and I need it for one javascript component (html doesn't work there, and unicode does). I was looking all over the internet, but I coundn't find anything that would allow me to add font-awersome icons, with their unicodes somhow stored. My question is do you know how to get this feature? -
Django upload fils - how to compress before saving to S3 Bucket?
Completely lost on how to compress my images before uploading them to an S3 bucket. I tried adding something like this to my save() method: def save(self, *args, **kwargs): # Opening the uploaded image (if it was uploaded) if self.receipt: im = Image.open(self.receipt) output = BytesIO() # Resize/modify the image im = im.convert('RGB') # after modifications, save it to the output im.save(output, format='JPEG', quality=80) output.seek(0) # change the imagefield value to be the newley modifed image value self.receipt = InMemoryUploadedFile(output, 'ImageField', "%s.jpg" % self.receipt.name.split('.')[0], 'image/jpeg', os.sys.getsizeof(output), None) super(Expense, self). Not a big fan of this approach as the save method is run whenever an Expense instance is updated/created. So if a receipt (the image file) is attached, and I update any other field on the instance, another image file will be added to my S3 bucket. I tried adding if self.receipt and self.pk is None so the save() method only runs on new instances - however, I also want to compress files if they are added to an existing Expense instance. I hear a lot of talk about lambda functions to do the compression on the fly, but can't find any decent guides on how to set it up. I'm … -

Saving custom Signup form in django-allauth

How can I make a single query in Django and get only those users who have an entry in the table with one product and not with another?

JSON array out of order
I have a React/Django application where users can answer multiple choice questions. I have the "choices" array rendered onto the UI in this exact order. { "id": 2, "question_text": "Is Lebron James the GOAT?", "choices": [ { "id": 5, "choice_text": "No", "votes": 0, "percent": 0 }, { "id": 4, "choice_text": "Yes", "votes": 1, "percent": 100 } ], } When I select a choice in development mode, I send a request to Django to increment the votes counter for that choice and it will send back a response with updated votes in the same order. When I try to select a choice in production mode using npm run build, the order becomes switched. { "id": 2, "question_text": "Is Lebron James the GOAT?", "choices": [ { "id": 4, "choice_text": "Yes", "votes": 1, "percent": 50 }, { "id": 5, "choice_text": "No", "votes": 1, "percent": 50 } ] } I thought the order of JSON array must be preserved. Can anyone explain why this is happening? I'm almost positive that this issue is originating from Django. Here is the function view on Django. @api_view(['POST']) def vote_poll(request, poll_id): if request.method == 'POST': poll = Poll.objects.get(pk=poll_id) selected_choice = Choice.objects.get(pk=request.data['selected_choice_id']) selected_choice.votes += 1 selected_choice.save() poll_serializer = PollAndChoicesSerializer(poll) … -
Django - How to dynamically choose base template
I want to choose which base template to use in my Django project from a possible three options. I sourced online and, from this link, I saw: Use a variable. {% extends base_template %} and in your view, set it to "base.html" in your view, or a new "ajax.html" file which just provides the block and nothing else. But a comment to that answer reads: This breaks django-compressor offline compression. I do not know what that means Another answer said: {% extends request.is_ajax|yesno:"app/base_ajax.html,app/base.html" %} But I am not making AJAX request. From this answer, I discovered the yesno Django provides. This works just for True or False; more like if-else statement. How can I achieve if, else and else-if statements ? Because that seems to be one way I could achieve what I am trying to achieve. But if you have better options, please pour it out. Here is what I tried {% if user_type == 1 %} {% extends 'hod_template/base.html' %} {% load static %} {% elif user_type == 2 %} {% extends 'staff_template/base.html' %} {% load static %} {% else %} {% extends 'student_template/base.html' %} {% load static %} {% endif %} But I got Invalid block tag … -
Cannot pull the value from the key of a session dictionary in django

How to use a list in Django query for addition of fields
I like to perform a Django query like the one below: query = Dbmodel.objects.all().annotate(result=F('fieldname1') + F('fieldname2') + F('fieldname4')) But instead of using the fieldnames directly, I would like to use a list with the field names: fields = ['fieldname1', 'fieldname2', 'fieldname4'] Depending on user interaction the number of fieldnames in the list can variate. Is there a way to do it? As this is my first question on StackOverflow, please let me know, if my question is unclear or I could improve my question. -
Rails or Django when you know Python well and Rails well but not Ruby nor Django
I know Rails well enough to build apps quickly (and have code I can reuse). But I don't know Ruby well (I realize the oddity). At the same time I do know Python well, having used it for data science. But I don't know much about Django. I want to build an app that is well beyond Django official tutorial difficulty (the polls app), and at the same time use cutting-edge algorithms in ML and NLP (might use tensorflow). So if Rails, I'd need to use micro service or call python script. If you were in my shoes, which framework would you use? -

CSRF Token error when attempting to post from CURL to an API endpoint I control. How do I write the request?
I have not utilized this part of Django before, but I have an endpoint which is giving me a 403 error and is telling me that my request needs a csrf token. I was trying to figure out how best to get this since I was attempting to set up a bunch of curl requests to handle some simple queries to the endpoint. Likewise, I was thinking to also use POSTman, but I was not sure where documentation is to handle these request. I have seen the cookie csrftoken, but when I was attempting to curl with it, it was still giving me a 403. thought it would looking something like this: curl -d @profilepicturev2.png -b "csrftoken=Ebfn2OlfhSwFjAEQdoQon7wUjbynFoJqrtHMNPla3cy7ZfCMT9cxZ3OQHsbaedam" http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/files/uploader Maybe I am mistaken? -
Rest API schema to retrieve value from database and return
I need to make a Rest API which will take 3 inputs: input_list (list of srings sentences), from_lang (string), to_lang (string) and return list of string after fetching values from databse table. Example: input - {input_list: ['how are you', 'see you later', 'where are you'], from_lang: 'english', to_lang: 'spanish' } output - {['cómo estás', 'nos vemos más tarde', 'Dónde estás']} A service will call this API with list of sentences in any supported language, and in return they will get list of same length with translated sentence if it exist in database or null value if it doesn't exist. How should I proceed? What I have done is, I have created a serializer to handle/validate incoming request in serializers.py: def supported_lang(value): if value not in SUPPORTED_LANGUAGES: print(value) print(SUPPORTED_LANGUAGES) raise serializers.ValidationError('Language not supported') class TranslateSerializer(serializers.Serializer): input_list = serializers.ListField( child=serializers.CharField(allow_blank=False), allow_empty=False ) from_language = serializers.CharField(validators=[supported_lang]) to_language = serializers.CharField(validators=[supported_lang]) And I have defined a simple model for storing translations in model.py: class TranslationModel(models.Model): english = models.CharField(blank=False, max_length=MAX_LENGTH, unique=True) spanish = models.CharField(blank=True, max_length=MAX_LENGTH) italian = models.CharField(blank=True, max_length=MAX_LENGTH) is_active = models.BooleanField(default=True) Then in my views.py I have handled post requests like below class TranslateView(views.APIView): def post(self, request): serializer = TranslateSerializer(data=request.data) serializer.is_valid(raise_exception=True) serialized_data = serializer.validated_data result … -
In Django FileField, how to set file.name that contains also random url?
I am trying to modify the name of an uploaded file to include also some url in it. In my case it's the custom "file_url" variable.

The workaround, would be to create additional field, say image_url as CharField, and save it there, but maybe there is a way to not duplicate table inputs. Thanks in advance! -

Django Bootstrap modal carousel

Set a Model default value relative to another field
I'm building an auctions site and I want the highest_bid on a listing to be >= start_price and in turn set the bid_input to raise a ValidationError if a user tries to enter a bid_input < highest_bid. I don't want the user to have to enter a highest_bid when creating the form so I've set it to hidden input but want to figure out how to capture this value. I think I may have worked out how to validate bid_input using clean(self) but I am unsure how to set the highest_bid default value to greater or equal to the start_price. Should this be done on the model or on the form on saving? I'm quite confused on how to go about this really. models.py class Listing(models.Model): class NewManager(models.Manager): def get_queryset(self): return super().get_queryset().filter(status='active') options = ( ('active', 'Active'), ('closed', 'Closed'), ) title = models.CharField(max_length=64) description = models.TextField(max_length=64) start_price = models.DecimalField(max_digits=9, decimal_places=2, validators=[MinValueValidator(0.99)]) image = models.URLField(max_length=200, blank=True) category = models.ForeignKey(Category, on_delete=models.CASCADE, related_name="listings") lister = models.ForeignKey(settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL, on_delete=models.CASCADE, default=None, null=True, blank=True) date_added = models.DateTimeField(default=timezone.now) highest_bid = models.DecimalField(max_digits=9, decimal_places=2, default=None) status = models.CharField(max_length=10, choices=options, default="active") favourites = models.ManyToManyField(User, related_name="favourite", default=None, blank=True) objects = models.Manager() listingmanager = NewManager() def __str__(self): return f"{self.title} ({self.pk}, £{self.start_price}, {self.lister})" class … -
How does the "action" attribute work in a Django form?
