Django migrate throws AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute '_meta'
After doing some extensive changes in the DB schema, I ran makemigrations. It created migrations successfully. But then migrate failed with: AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute '_meta' What went wrong? Somewhat similar to this question: Django makemigrations AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute '_meta' but my makemigrations went ok and only failed at migrate command. -

Django: How to read info from custom radio select in view
So yesterday I spent whole day customizing star-rating ("radio-button-ish"). Now I don't want to abandon my css masterpiece (I am not much of a front-end guy so this was real pain for me), but it looks like that my approach to the problem wasn't correct. Html code is quite simple: <div class="col-md-5 mb-0 mt-3"> <div id="rating"> <input type="radio" name="star" id="star1"><label for="star1"></label> <input type="radio" name="star" id="star2"><label for="star2"></label> <input type="radio" name="star" id="star3"><label for="star3"></label> <input type="radio" name="star" id="star4"><label for="star4"></label> <input type="radio" name="star" id="star5"><label for="star5"></label> </div> </div> Now, is there a way to simply read from this choice and then use it in my view? The situation is, normally I would probably use Field in form with choices but the design would be lost. Do you see a simple solution? Or is there a way of customizing a ChoiceField with widget RadioSelect into the same form, so i can use the name, id just like in above html code? Note: this is my first django project, pardon me if it is a complete nonsense or I missed something basic.. -

How to correctly Validate user entry in Django Generic Views
In my Django app I am trying to validate a form field value entered by the user. I am trying to do the validation in Django generic UpdateView (as I will explain below). The extant field stores various statuses of a transaction document. The change in status happens at update (either by the user manually entering the status code OR based upon certain phase of transaction or the like - not important here). The important thing is that on save the status of the document needs to change. As there are a number of statuses, each of them have been given a numerical value. Wherever the statuses are manually entered, the need is to check if the current status value is less than the entered value. If it is not, the user should get an error message. My views.py looks like this: class ProdDocView(UpdateView, ...): template_name = ... model = ProdLine form_class = ProdLineForm ... def form_valid(self, form): tmp_status = ProdLine.objects.get(prod_doc_id=self.object.pk).prod_doc_status new_status_entered = form.cleaned_data['prod_doc_status'] if tmp_status == new_status_entered: # This is just to check error capture # raise ValidationError('Wrong status code entered!!') return super(ProdDocView, self).form_invalid(form) else: form.instance.approved_by = self.request.user. # This is to save user field on successful save return … -

How to automatically add slug according to username of a user in models.py
I am new to django. Currenty I am trying to make social network website. Here is my model of profile class. I want to assign value of slug field to the username of the User.

If anyone know any way of doing this I'll be thankfull if you suggest me how to do this from django.contrib.auth.models import User from django_countries.fields import CountryField from django.db import models class Profile(models.Model): GENDER = [ ('NONE', 'none'), ('MALE', 'male'), ('FEMALE', 'female') ] first_name = models.CharField(max_length=100, blank=False) last_name = models.CharField(max_length=100, blank=True) email = models.EmailField(max_length=200, blank = True) bio = models.TextField(default='No bio data', max_length=400) user = models.OneToOneField(User, on_delete = models.CASCADE) gerder = models.CharField(max_length=6, choices=GENDER, default='NONE') country = CountryField() avatar = models.ImageField(default='avatar.png', upload_to='avatars/') friends = models.ManyToManyField(User, blank = True, related_name='friends') slug = models.SlugField(unique = True, blank = True) updated = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True) created = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True) favourite = models.CharField(max_length=300, blank=True) def __str__(self): return f'{self.user.username}-{self.created}' ``` -
'super' object has no attribute 'form_valid' (Django)
I think the reason that I got this error maybe because I didn't use FormMixin and form_class in the detailView. I have tried it but my form will not run without current_class_pk (I added it inside my AttendanceForm using kwargs.pop) so I have to use get_context_data to pass the pk of detailview to the form. How can I fix this? or Are there anyway other ways to pass detailview pk to the form_class? view.py class Class_detailView(LoginRequiredMixin, DetailView): login_url = '/' model = Class template_name = "attendance/content/teacher/class_detail.html" def get_context_data(self, **kwargs): class_pk = self.object.pk print(class_pk) context = super(Class_detailView, self).get_context_data(**kwargs) context['attendance_form'] = AttendanceForm(current_class_pk=class_pk) # pass data to form via kwargs return context def get_success_url(self): return reverse('class_detail', kwargs={'pk': self.object.pk}) def post(self, request, *args, **kwargs): self.object = self.get_object() if request.method == "POST": attendance_form = AttendanceForm(request.POST, current_class_pk=self.kwargs.get('pk')) if attendance_form.is_valid(): return self.form_valid(attendance_form) def form_valid(self, form): form.instance.teacher = self.request.user form.instance.attendance_class = self.object form.save() return super(Class_detailView, self).form_valid(form) forms.py class AttendanceForm(forms.ModelForm): class Meta: model = Attendance fields = ['student',] def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs): current_class_pk = kwargs.pop('current_class_pk') super(AttendanceForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs) current_student = Class.objects.get(id=current_class_pk) self.fields['student'].queryset = current_student.student -
Role based access control in Django
I am developing an application for managing employees with Django, and as part of the first steps, I'm trying to get the user model correct. I need to implement some kind of user hierarchy or role based access control. Let me explain: The company will have several levels, in order of hierarchy: Company -> Branch -> Department For each of the above entities, a user will have "owner" permissions, for create, read and update. The different levels of employees are as follows: Company Manager (Company) -> Branch Manager (Branch) -> Department Manager (Department) -> Low privilege user (Standard Employee) Usage case for Company Manager: Can create/update/view branches and departments Can create/update/view users under branches and departments Can grant privileges to Branch Managers and Department Managers Usage case for Branch Manager: Can create/update/view departments Can create/update/view users under departments Can grant privileges to Department Managers Cannot create/update/view other branches Usage case for Department Manager: Can create/view/edit users under his own department, but not others Cannot create/update/view other departments Usage case for Low Privilege user: Can view own profile Cannot view anythings else Now I have looked into Django's default User/Group, and seen that it's not possible as this does not support … -

Django cannot find module
I am working on a Django project. I have several apps within the project and everything has been working fine. I recently added a new app called files through django-admin and for some reason, Django cannot find this module. This is my project structure core/ __init__.py settings.py urls.py wsgi.py api/ migrations/ __init__.py admin.py apps.py models.py urls.py views.py files/ __init__.py apps.py forms.py init_s3.py urls.py views.py The apps.py for the files module reads: from django.apps import AppConfig class FilesConfig(AppConfig): name = 'files' Which is almost word-for-word how the AppConfig for the api module is written: from django.apps import AppConfig class ApiConfig(AppConfig): name = 'api' I have the api and files app installed in the INSTALLED_APPS setting: INSTALLED_APPS = [ ...other apps... 'api.apps.ApiConfig', 'files.apps.FilesConfig' ] Django has no problems locating the api app, but cannot find the files app. When I run the server, I get the following error: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'files' What's going on here? What am I missing? Any help is appreciated! Thanks! -
How to properly use filter before annotation?

django.contrib.gis.geos throws SegFault

Deployment of Django on Heroku Server Error (500) - Static file problem supposedly

Is there a specific way of adding apps in Django
I read from a post that Django uses INSTALLED_APPS as a list of all of the places to look for models, management commands, tests, and other utilities. Say I have an app called blog which I would like to add to INSTALLED_APPS, which of these two is advisable: INSTALLED_APPS = [ 'django.contrib.admin', 'django.contrib.auth', 'django.contrib.contenttypes', 'django.contrib.sessions', 'django.contrib.messages', 'django.contrib.staticfiles', 'blog.apps.BlogConfig', ] OR INSTALLED_APPS = [ 'django.contrib.admin', 'django.contrib.auth', 'django.contrib.contenttypes', 'django.contrib.sessions', 'django.contrib.messages', 'django.contrib.staticfiles', 'blog', ] Both method seems to work fine for me as a beginner. -
