Cannot receive data in Django View from frontend through Ajax
I am trying to post data from frontend to Django view, and render the view inside another page, but I don't receive any data from frontend. Any help is appreciated! Thanks in advance. Jquery: <script> window.getDisplayConfirmation = function(ele){ var row = $(ele).closest('tr'); var displayObjectId1 = row.find('td').eq(2).text() console.log(typeof(displayObjectId1)) console.log(displayObjectId1) var displayObjectId = parseInt(displayObjectId1) $.ajax({ url:'/detailedData/', data: { 'displayObjectId': displayObjectId }, success: function(){ alert('Vote successful!'); $("#dataDisplayArea").load("/detailedData/"); }, }); }; </script> View: def detailedData(request): displayObjectId = request.GET.get('displayObjectId') displayObjects = TemporaryModel.objects.get(id=displayObjectId) return render(request, 'frontend/detailedData.html', {'obj': displayObjects,"receivedObjectId":displayObjectId}) html: this is part of my table in this html page <td ><button id = "showButton" class ="btn btn-primary btn-xs" onclick="getDisplayConfirmation(this)"> S </button></td> <td ><button id = "deleteButton" class = "btn btn-primary btn-xs" onclick="getDeleteConfirmation(this)"> D</button></td> <td >{{ obj.id}}</td> I also have this part on the same html page to include rendered page as a sub-page: <div id ="dataDisplayArea"> {% include 'frontend/detailedData.html' %} </div> urls: urlpatterns = [ path('', auth_views.login, {'template_name': 'registration/login.html'}, name='login'), path('panelOne/', views.panelOne, name='panelOne'), path('panelTwo/', views.panelTwo, name='panelTwo'), path('detailedData/', views.detailedData, name='detailedData'), path('panelThree/', PanelThreeView.as_view(), name='panelThree'), ] -
Preserving value of variables between subsequent requests in Python Django
I have a Django application to log the character sequences from an autocomplete interface. Each time a call is made to the server, the parameters are added to a list and when the user submits the query, the list is written to a file. Since I am not sure how to preserve the list between subsequent calls, I relied on a global variable say query_logger. Now I can preserve the list in the following way: def log_query(query, completions, submitted=False): global query_logger if query_logger is None: query_logger = list() query_logger.append(query, completions, submitted) if submitted: query_logger = None While this hack works for a single client sending requests I don't think this is a stable solution when requests come from multiple clients. My question is two-fold: What is the order of execution of requests: Do they follow first come first serve (especially if the requests are asynchronous)? What is a better approach for doing this? -
Automatic file download in Django
I am creating a file download functionality on link click from admin panel in django. I am using FieleField for storing the files. For the download purpose I researched and found help on stackoverflow. After using that help, I have the following code for file download (with some minor changes of my own). def pdf_download(request): #print("request: ", request.META["PATH_INFO"]) a = request.META["PATH_INFO"] #print(type(a)) a = a.split("/") a = a[-1] #print(a) #print(os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)))) with open(os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)))+"\\router_specifications\\"+a ,"rb") as pdf: #Here router_specifications is the directory on local storage where the uploaded files are being stored. response = HttpResponse(pdf.read()) #can add ', content_type = "application/pdf" as a specific pdf parameter' response["Content-Disposition"] = "attachment; filename ="+a pdf.close() return response Now, when I this code runs in my laptop, the file is downloaded automatically. but, when I switch to some other laptop, it asks me where should I save the file i.e. it's not automatically getting downloaded. What changes should I do so that the file automatically gets downloaded without asking for manual save. Requesting help at the earliest. -
Form input to a template
I am trying to pass the form input to a template. However, the template is rendering without the form input.

Django date filter not working with datetime value
Environment: PostgreSQL, Django 1.10 I have a django model.datetime field named created_at with auto_not_add=True. When I output the date in a template it is displayed as "2018-06-01T15:17:08.524939-07:00" I have attempted to use the Django date filter to output the date in a friendly format such as: {{ created_at|date:"M d, G:i" }} but the date filter fails and there is no output at all. What is the correct way to format the datetime object so that it shows as needed in the template? -

Django-Machina forum panel not showing in wagtail admin panel
I have a wagtail project being developed, essentially a blog with a forum. I chose django-machina as the forum I want to use because of how modular it is and how well it integrates into existing projects. I followed the instructions in the documentation without issue, and the install was a success. I can access the app by going to /forum on my project. However, the next step in the documentation refers to using the forum admin panel. On my install there is no link or form to login, nor any link to be able to register. My wagtail admin menu does not have a section for forum. Where exactly can I access the django-machina forum admin panel in a wagtail project? -

Django: call class function in form_valid
I have a class based view. I want to update a field in a model whenever it is saved. This field isn't set by the user; it is a field that says the form data has been changed and needs to be reapproved. One way I am thinking about going about this is in the def form_valid to query the model and set the field to the value I need. The query that I'm running is also in a function defined on this class. Can I run this function in def form_valid instead of realling it? All my attempts are proving fruitless. class CUpdateView(LoginRequiredMixin, UpdateView): def get_object(self): qs = C.objects.filter( c_id = self.kwargs.get('c_id') ) if qs.count() == 1: if self.request.user == qs.first().a.user or self.request.user == qs.first().inhouselandmanager.user: pass else: raise PermissionDenied return qs.first() raise Http404 def form_valid(self, form): if self.object.status != 'initiated': return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse('c:detail', kwargs={'c_id': str(self.object.c_id) })) qs = super().get_object() qs.update(approved=False) return super().form_valid(form) -
