Different url path than pk in Django Generic View
I am using DetailView to display a template with the information about my object from my model. I used int:pk as the path for my object, but now I want to access the view from something like detail/XX-ABC (where XX-ABC stands for a unique field from my model). I didn't find a way to pass this slug and display the object. path(r'detail/<int:pk>/', views.DetailClientsView.as_view(template_name='clients/clients_details.html', context_object_name='client'),name='details_client'), And this is my View. class DetailClientsView(DetailView, UpdateView): model = Clients form_class = InspectionForm def get_success_url(self): return reverse('search:search') -
How to block/override djoser user/me endpoint?
I would like to know if there is a chance to block the djoser's user/me endpoint for specific request methods. I don't see this in the docs. Problem: Now when I have two users { email: 'a@exa.com' }, and { email: 'b@exa.com' }. I can use the first user to change his email to match the 2nd user's email, so both will have the same email, and the second one will be blocked cos of that. Is there an elegant way to check if the email exists from the djoser's level? -
Configure Highcharts JS within Django template
I am working with HighCharts for the first time in Django and ran into two issues. It's a column chart which groups transactions per month, but the months on the X-axis is being named to 0, 1, 2 etc instead of Jan, Feb, Mar. The second issue originates from a solution I tried for issue number one, I tried to manually add xAxis to my JS script located in the template file as below, but this breaks my chart. So how do I modify the Highchart JS properly? For example I have added StyleMode: True in my views.py file, but it doesn't seem like I can modify the chart when it comes to the months for the X-axis in that way. <script> Highcharts.chart('container', { xAxis: { categories: [ 'Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr', 'May', 'Jun', 'Jul', 'Aug', 'Sep' ] } {{ chart|safe }}}); </script> My template which contains my highcharts JS <script src="https://code.highcharts.com/highcharts.src.js"></script> <script> Highcharts.chart('container', {{ chart|safe }}); </script> My views.py # Bar chart - Transactions per month month = [] total_entries = [] for entry in transactions_per_month: month.append('%s Class' % entry['month']) total_entries.append(entry['total_entries']) total_entries = { 'name': 'Month', 'data': total_entries, 'color': 'green' } chart = { 'chart': {'type': 'column', 'styleMode':'true'}, 'title': … -
Get content from meta in external website
I need to extract the meta description of an external website. I've already searched and maybe the simple answer is already out there, but I wasn't able to apply it to my code. Currently, I can get its title doing the following: from urllib.request import urlopen from lxml.html import parse url = "https://technofall.com/how-to-report-traffic-violation-pay-vehicle-fines-e-challan/" page = urlopen(URL) p = parse(page) print (p.find(".//title").text) I am getting title from here However, the description is a bit trickier. It can come in the form of: <meta name="og:description" content="blabla" <meta property="og:description" content="blabla" <meta name="description" content="blabla" So what I want is to extract the first one of these that appears inside the Html. -

Granting a user access to view data based on their permissions
I have a basic CRUD web application in Django using a database with Postgres 12 that simply displays articles based on a search. I need to implement a system such that the articles returned from a user's search are articles that the user only has access to. For example, if my articles table article is populated id|title|summary|source |category --+-----+-------+--------+-------- 0 |... |... |NYTimes |politics 1 |... |... |BBC |environment 2 |... |... |BBC |politics 3 |... |... |Wired |technology 4 |... |... |NYTimes |fashion If a user makes a search, but only was granted access to view sources NYTimes and BBC as well as only categories politics, then the the user would only see id|title|summary|source |category --+-----+-------+--------+-------- 0 |... |... |NYTimes |politics 2 |... |... |BBC |politics Right now I implemented this schema. |user_group| |data_permission| |id |-----|group_id | |name | |column | |value | and use this raw query to filter the results. SELECT * FROM article a INNER JOIN data_permission p0 ON p0.group_id = %s AND p0.column = 'source' AND p0.value = a.source INNER JOIN data_permission p1 ON p1.group_id = %s AND p1.column = 'category' AND p1.value = a.category; It's a simple problem, but I'm having trouble understanding if … -

Translating URL patterns in Django

However, even though the language of the content changes, my URL patterns are always displayed in English. What am I doing wrong? -

django - How can I add different AppConfigs for testing different apps?
In my project I have two apps: main_app and reusable_app. reusable_app is supposed to be independent and reusable in other projects. It has its own models and signals. And I connected a lot of these signals to receivers in main_app. Doing ./manage.py test runs tests for both main_app and reusable_app. But the tests for reusable_app break when the signals are called because data needed for main_app to process these signals is not there. I don't want to have to load/setup data for main_app in reusable_app's tests. So, the solution would be to disconnect the signal receivers. Also, reusable_app tests should not have to know about disabling any signal receivers. I can create different AppConfigs that selectively connect or not these signal receivers. But how do I change the AppConfig depending on which app I'm running the test for? -

In views.py: def test(request): if request.method == 'POST': form = TestForm(request.POST) if form.is_valid(): return redirect('auctions/test.html') else: form = TestForm() return render(request, 'auctions/test.html', {'form': form}) In forms.py: class TestForm(forms.Form): testnumber = forms.DecimalField(max_digits=1) In test.html: <form action="{% url 'auctions:test' %}" method="post"> {% csrf_token %} {{ form }} <input type="submit" value="Submit"> </form> Now, when I submit the form with a number that is more than 1 digit, is_valid() evaluates to False. When that happens, the docs says the template should be rendered with the bound form and the error. Instead, nothing happens, and I get ValueError: The view auctions.views.test didn't return an HttpResponse object. It returned None instead. -
Python Django saved posts computed method
Assuming im using the default django model, a Post model (code below) and a SavedPost model that links a User to a Post (if the certain user with the certain post exists then that post is saved for that user) and a Follower model that links 2 user (similar to SavedPost). What im trying to do: An API that for a user, they get all posts for the users they follow, in addition each of these posts has an extra 'field' to say if that post is saved or not. class Post(models.Model): user = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE) post_type = models.CharField(max_length=1, choices=[('B', 'Blog'), ('V', 'Video')], default='B') file_path = models.URLField(null=True) title = models.CharField(max_length=255) description = models.TextField() created_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True) updated_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True) class SavedPost(models.Model): user = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE) post = models.ForeignKey(Post, on_delete=models.CASCADE) created_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True) class Meta: # A user can save a post only once. unique_together = ('user', 'post') class Follower(models.Model): user = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE, related_name="user") follower = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE, related_name="follower") created_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True) class Meta: # A user can follow another user only once unique_together = ('user', 'follower') API View: @permission_classes([IsAuthenticated,]) @api_view(['GET']) def get_following(request): user = request.user following = Follower.objects.filter(follower=user).values('user') # saved_posts = SavedPost.objects.filter(user=user, post__user__in=following).order_by('-post__created_at') posts = Post.objects.filter(user__in=following).order_by('-created_at') serializer = PostSerializer(posts, … -
The include tag in Django isn't working properly
so I have a lot of repeated code in my templates and one of them are the link tags for CSS in my html templates. Since they are all similar i put them in a separate file and used the include method like this {% include 'path to file' %} the problem is when running the website is that the page is not using any of the CSS and what's confusing even more is that if i view the page source on chrome it shows that all of the CSS link tags are there. so how can i fix this ?
