Change queryset based on query_param
I'm using django-filters, but I've been having some issues using it alongside an annotation. The use case here is that I want the /streams viewset to return only Stream objects with at least 1 ManyToMany to a Tag. class StreamViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet): queryset = Stream.objects.annotate(num_tags=Count("tags")).filter(num_tags__gt=0) serializer_class = StreamSerializer filterset_class = StreamFilterSet def filter_queryset(self, queryset): filter_backends = (filters.DjangoFilterBackend,) for backend in list(filter_backends): queryset = backend().filter_queryset(self.request, queryset, view=self) return queryset @action(detail=True, methods=["patch"]) def add_tags(self, request, pk): tag_names = request.data["tags"] stream = Stream.objects.get(pk=pk) for tag_name in tag_names: tag = Tag.objects.get(name=tag_name) stream.tags.add(tag.id) stream.save() return Response(f"Added {len(tag_names)} tags to {stream.id}.") if query_param tagless is False or not provided I'd like to use num_tags__gt=0, but if tagless is True, I'd like to use Stream.objects.all(). I can't seem to figure out how to achieve this result. Any help in the right direction is appreciated. -
What is the difference between the fields associated with choice and to in the django model?
What is the difference between the fields associated with choice and to in the django model? eg what is the difference between frontal and number_of_rooms field What is the difference between defining choice and creating a model and defining the domain of another model? thanks in advance #django models.py class Advertise(models.Model): owner = models.ForeignKey(to="advertise.User", on_delete=models.CASCADE, null=True) title = models.CharField(max_length=100) description = models.TextField(max_length=500) price = models.PositiveIntegerField(default=0) square_meter = models.PositiveIntegerField(default=0) number_of_rooms = models.PositiveIntegerField(choices=NumberOfRoomsChoices.CHOICES) building_age = models.PositiveIntegerField(choices=NumberOfBuildingAgeChoices.CHOICES) floor = models.PositiveIntegerField(choices=NumberOfFloorChoices.FLOOR_CHOICES) number_of_floors = models.PositiveIntegerField(choices=NumberOfFloorChoices.FLOORS_CHOICES) number_of_bathrooms = models.PositiveIntegerField(choices=NumberOfBathroomsChoices.CHOICES) heating = models.PositiveIntegerField(choices=HeatingChoices.CHOICES) balcony_exists = models.BooleanField(default=False) using_status = models.PositiveIntegerField(choices=UsingStatusChoices.CHOICES) fee = models.PositiveIntegerField() created_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True) updated_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True) status = models.PositiveIntegerField(choices=AdvertiseStatusChocies.CHOICES) visibility = models.PositiveIntegerField(choices=AdvertiseVisibilityChoices.CHOICES) # collections frontal = models.ManyToManyField(to="advertise.Frontal") interior_feature = models.ManyToManyField(to="advertise.InteriorFeature") exterior_feature = models.ManyToManyField(to="advertise.ExteriorFeature") locality = models.ManyToManyField(to="advertise.Locality") transportation = models.ManyToManyField(to="advertise.Transportation") landscape = models.ManyToManyField(to="advertise.Landscape") sutiable_for_disabled =models.ManyToManyField(to="advertise.SuitableForDisabled") def __str__(self): return f"{self.title}" -

Django Rest Framework: Creating a custom create method for a writable nested presentation
I'm trying to create a custom create method for a hyperlinked model serializer in Django Rest Framework. I'm following the documentation on how to create said method. The issue I'm having is that none of the data from the foreign key relation is being validated. The data itself is coming through (I can check this by printing self in the serializer), but in the validated data "Skills" ends up being an empty ordered dict. I'll show an example of this below, after presenting my models, serializers, views and urls. Here's my model. It's modeling a work experience entry in a resume: class WorkExperience(models.Model): title = models.CharField(max_length=256, default="Title") description = models.TextField(default="Description of the work") organization = models.CharField(max_length=256, default="Acme Inc.") start_date = models.DateField(null=True) end_date = models.DateField(null=True) skills = models.ManyToManyField(Skill, related_name="work") owner = models.ForeignKey( settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL, on_delete=models.CASCADE, null=False, default=1, related_name="work_experience", ) resume = models.ForeignKey( Resume, on_delete=models.CASCADE, null=False, default=1, related_name="work_experience", ) def __str__(self): return f"{self.owner.email} work experience as {self.title}." class Meta: ordering = ["id"] My Serializer for the model looks like this: class WorkExperienceSerializer(serializers.HyperlinkedModelSerializer): skills = SkillSerializer(many=True) class Meta: model = WorkExperience fields = [ "title", "description", "start_date", "end_date", "organization", "skills", ] def create(self, validated_data): print("print self: ", self) # Here I'm printing self print("print … -

Django - override existing data, after admin approval?
I have been tasked with adding some new functionality to an existing view. Basically, on user signup if the company is already in the database, I am sending an email to an admin, saying "User wants to claim company". If admin approves, that user will be added to the company, and I want to override the previous info (address, phone, etc.) with the info this user put in at registration. I thought the best way to do this was to add a field to the Account model, called is_approved and set it to False, and when the admin approves, they will set it to True and the new info will be stored, overriding the existing data. I have a Company model, and a Pending_Companymodel, both with the same exact info. My view... company_obj = Company.objects.filter(I am filtering the DB here) if not company_obj: """If no company match, create new one""" new_company = Company.objects.create( name=company.title(), zip=int(zip_code), primary_email=email, website=website, phone_no=phone_no, street=street, city=city, state=state, ) new_company.owner.add(user) else: """Add employee to company, send email to admin for approval, if approved, update company instance with new data.""" # If DEBUG = True send_mail('Test Subject', 'Test message', 'test@gmail.com', ['testemail@gmail.com', ], fail_silently=False) pending_company = PendingCompanyDetail.objects.create( name=company.title(), zip=int(zip_code), … -
vscode devcontainer causes "The folder you are executing pip from can no longer be found."
I have a docker containerized Django project. I also use vscode devcontiners. If I don't start vscode with its associated devcontainer I am able to run management commands from the terminal like this: docker-compose run manage migrate But if I open vscode and start programing within the devcontainer the next time I try to run the management command I get this error: The folder you are executing pip from can no longer be found. The odd thing is that I am still able to run other docker commands from the terminal without issue such as this: docker-compose run --rm tests Of note this was not always the case. I say it probably started around 3 months ago. The only other time I've heard about this error happening before when a container is started with "delegated" volumes. I’m not sure if vscode uses delegated volumes or not. May be able to add more files to this post if nessisary. -
Django DRF calculated fields check
I want to check if the computational values coming from the frontend to the price table are correct. E.g; The discount added to this by giving the Sales Price, the early booking discount is reduced to CostPrice. The difference between CostPRice and SalesPrice gives profiRate. The webFakePrice is calculated by calculating the salesPrice * webFakePriceRate for the price to be fake on the web. I want to check if these FrontEnd are calculated correctly. I could not find a keyword for it. How should I loop this since there are multiple record in one?

Getting the post instance in Django class based views

Which SQL paradigm to use when grouping counts by type?
Let's say I have a database with data from a pizza shop in it. I keep track of customers and their orders via two tables: customer and orders. orders has a FK to customer so that I can easily see which orders belong to which customer. I can count all of the customer's orders like this: SELECT c.id, COUNT(o.id) AS order_counts FROM customers AS c, JOIN orders ON c.id = o.customer_id GROUP BY c.id Which gives me something like this: results = [ { “customer_number”: 1, “order_counts”: 5 }, { “customer_number”: 2, “order_counts”: 10 }] However, what if I want to "explode" the order_counts results to show me all the individual pizza types, and then count those types? I would add a new table called pizzas which has a name column, and then get my results to look like this: results = [ { “customer_number”: 1, “counts”: { “Hawaiian”: 2, “Meat Lovers”: 2, "Four Cheese": 1 } }, { “customer_number”: 2, “counts”: { “Hawaiian”: 5, “Meat Lovers”: 5, "Four Cheese": 0 } }] Which SQL principals/paradigms would I need to leverage to achieve this? I suspect I need a subquery and/or a nested GROUP BY statement. Bonus Question: is this … -

given a date start and date end, give me the duration in an array of 24 values corresponding to hours of the day
I am very new to Django rest framework and stack overflow even, I was struggling with finding a title so please feel free to give a better alternative. I have a set of jobs that get posted to a database. the jobs are now grouped per machine and per given hour. For now I am only displaying the total count of jobs per hour. My API end point looks like this now : Api end point Here's where I am struggling: I need to get the duration of the job separated by hour. I have a Datetime when it started and a Datetime when it ended. I also have a total of the duration. For example: suppose a job starts at 11h15 and ends at 12h15. this would mean that for hour 11 the total duration is 45 minutes. For hour 12, the duration is 15 minutes. I thought of getting the time passed between 11h15 and 12h00 and then the time passed between 12h15 and 13h00. But I am not exactly sure how i could do this. also note that some jobs go for more than an hour and some even more than a day. I am sure there … -
Django .create() for each item in queryset? Like: Reporter.objects.all().article_set.create(...)
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.1/topics/db/examples/many_to_one/, Taking Django's Reporter/Article as a comparable example for my real problem, i need to create one new article for each reporter in my queryset. My approach now is as follows: reporters = Reporter.objects.filter(...) for reporter in reporters: article = Article() article.reporter = reporter ... article.save() The problem is that i have 25k "reporters", so it takes too long to process the request and raises timeout. I wonder if there is a better method for that, sort of like: Reporter.objects.filter(...).article_set.create(...) -
django postgresql timestamp on entry creation is not ordered in the database
I am quite new to django and I have a small app, with the following models: class TimeStampedModel(models.Model): created_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True) updated_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True) class Meta: abstract = True class SomeModel(TimeStampedModel): uuid = models.UUIDField(primary_key=True, default=uuid.uuid4, editable=False) some_json = JSONField(blank=True,default=dict) def __str__(self): return self.uuid I now make some requests to a webserver and write the return value of the request to the database via model forms like so: data = requests.get(BASE_URL) form_data=collections.OrderedDict() form_data[ "some_json" ] = data.json() form = SomeModel (form_data) if form.is_valid(): form.save() logger.debug( "***** GOOD: form saved from %s", data.json() ) else: logger.debug("** form not valid because: %s ", form.errors) pass It seems to work fine, but when I inspect the database I see that the timestemps are not ordered :( So, the top 5 entries on the database look like so (for the created_at field): 2020-08-17 19:59:14.377394+01 2020-08-17 19:58:31.017813+01 2020-08-17 20:00:33.302018+01 2020-08-17 19:59:57.626536+01 2020-08-17 19:59:07.671274+01 I am baffled as to how the database can write in non-ascending time stamps.. Am I missing something here? Shouldnt the database contain ordered values for the created_at field?

Django ORM uses wrong string searching for foreign object
I have two models: Account and SourceDocument (posted below). When I create a SourceDocument, I first get the correct Account, set it to the SourceDocument.account field and then save SourceDocument. The expected result is for SourceDocument.account to be the same as the Account object I queried. However, it's using the wrong string to search for the object during .save() and the ORM is trying to search using Account.code. The string used to find the object was correct a couple of weeks ago. It has since changed. At first, I thought there was an issue with Postgres. I did REBUILD TABLE accounting_account and REBUILD DATABASE with no change. Originally, the Account.code field was unique so I removed the index with no change. Using the helpful debugsqlshell command from django-debug-toolbar, I've found the issue likely lies within the Django ORM, but I'm not sure where. Here's the debugsqlshell testing I did: >>> from accounting.models import * >>> a = Account.objects.get(is_receivable=True) SELECT "accounting_account"."id", "accounting_account"."code", "accounting_account"."name", "accounting_account"."description", "accounting_account"."type", "accounting_account"."is_payable", "accounting_account"."is_receivable", "accounting_account"."is_bank", "accounting_account"."allow_payments" FROM "accounting_account" WHERE "accounting_account"."is_receivable" LIMIT 21 [1.99ms] >>> a.pk 11 >>> a.code '1210' >>> s = SourceDocument() >>> s.account = a >>> s.save() SELECT "accounting_account"."id", "accounting_account"."code", "accounting_account"."name", "accounting_account"."description", "accounting_account"."type", "accounting_account"."is_payable", "accounting_account"."is_receivable", "accounting_account"."is_bank", … -
How to pass variable to TabularInline admin template?
I need to add a few custom rows (which are different model) to admin inline so that everything looks seamlessly as one table. My idea was to include admin/edit_inline/tabular.html in new template and add a custom table below. Then I'd create a custom admin view that would handle saving etc. My issue is that I cannot find a way to pass any variable to InlineModelAdmin template - I thought any variable at top level in class is available in template via {{ variable }} tag - this way I could pass my table structure to template and generate it there. -

Django 2.2 compatibility with PostgreSQL
I'm working on a Django app on a Linux server and found out the existing PostgreSQL isn't supported by Django. If Postgres is upgraded to the most recent version (looks like v 12), will it be compatible with Django 2.2 and psycopg2 version 2.8.5? Is there a "too new" version of Postgres that I should worry about for either Django or psycopg2? I've tried to answer this question for myself using the relevant Django docs and psycopg docs, and I think everything will be okay, but I haven't found a definitive answer. I just don't want to have to make the system administrator uninstall and reinstall and older version of Postgres. -

Django - referencing value from template in views.py
I have a Pandas dataframe that I am displaying as an HTML table. I turned the first column of that table into a column of clickable buttons that return a unique value and link to a webpage with information regarding the selected topic. The col. was turned into a button with the following format: '<button type="submit" name="info" value=' + df['Name:'] + '>More Info</button>' However, in order to display the unique page when the button is clicked I need to be able to reference the button "value" I have tried referencing the button value from my view in the following ways: if request.POST.get('info', ''): value = info.value return redirect('detail') if request.POST.get('info'): value = value return redirect('detail') However, neither "value" or "info" can be called. Does anyone know how I can reference the value of the button from my views.py? -
django & postgres timezone localtime vs utc
I save a datetime to my postgres db, when I then display it on my website it's wrong... In my models.py: datetime_start = models.DateTimeField() In postgres the time is saved like this: utc+2h: In my django I made following settings: USE_TZ = True TIME_ZONE = 'Europe/Paris' In my template I get the time, for testing I display once the utc and once the localtime: <th> Start </th> <td>{{activity.datetime_start |utc|date:"d.m.Y H:i"}}</td> <td>{{activity.datetime_start |localtime|date:"d.m.Y H:i"}}</td> And here the output on my website: Why this output is wrong? The utc time should be: 06:00 And the localtime should be: 08:00 I'm confused, what did I make wrong with the timezones and times? Does django interpret the postgres time wrong? -

Nesting If statements to detect request value in Django views
I am trying to get third button to work on a simple app I am making. I set up if statements to detect the value of the request for two buttons, but I am getting stuck on how to configure the logic statement to get a third parameter through. My issue is that I need to have the form filled with any data before the subscriptions button will work properly. When the form is blank the app will indicate the form needs to be filled out. I am not familiar with javascript to have the buttons run from that. My hope is that I can learn how to configure the if statement to have the subscriptions call work without the form being filled out. Below is the UI as and the views.py def. The Amount and Delete functions work fine.
