Django - Return search results in template
I have a search form that looks like this: <form class="main_cont_nav_searchform" method='GET' action='/api-search/'> <div class="main_cont_nav_searchform_group"> <input class="main_cont_nav_searchform_input" placeholder="search for users..." type="search" name="search"> <div class="main_cont_nav_searchform_btn" type="submit">Search</div> </div> </form> And a view that looks like this: class UserSearchView(generics.ListAPIView): queryset = User.objects.all() serializer_class = UserSerializer filter_backends = [filters.SearchFilter] search_fields = ['username'] I get the correct response, but how can I return the search result in a template? Thank you for any suggestions -

Cannot create many-to-many object with multiple connections
I have a Playlist object and also a Song object. In the playlist model, I defined a many-to-many field that allows playlist to store multiple songs inside of it. Through the admin interface, I can easily create a playlist object that has multiple songs inside of it. However, when I try to create a playlist object through a template's multiple selection form, the playlist object is created with only one song object attached to it. I have tried to add songs to it by iterating through the request.POST[] of the multiple selection while using .add(), or to set it using .set(), however, all of them ended up with only one of the songs being added to the playlist object. Here is the related code: models.py: class Song(models.Model): song_title = models.TextField(max_length=128) album = models.ForeignKey(Album, on_delete=models.CASCADE) def __str__(self): return f"{self.song_title}" class Playlist(models.Model): creator = models.ForeignKey(Profile, on_delete=models.CASCADE) playlist_name = models.CharField(max_length=128) description = models.TextField(max_length=1024) playlist_content = models.ManyToManyField(Song, blank=True, related_name="playlist_content") def __str__(self): return f"{self.playlist_name}: {self.description}" views.py: def create_playlist(request): if request.method == "GET": all_songs = Song.objects.all() profile = Profile.objects.get(user=request.user) return render(request, "website/create_playlist.html", { "songs": all_songs, "profile": profile }) if request.method == "POST": creator = Profile.objects.get(user=request.user) title = request.POST["playlist_title"] description = request.POST["description"] p = Playlist.objects.create(creator=creator, playlist_name=title, description=description) … -

Getting field value with DjangoRestFramework serializer

As suggested I added ('read_only'=True) but the result is the same. Should I use to_representation to get the same CRUD posibilities than with: class RestaurantReviewSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer): class Meta: model = RestaurantReview field = fields = '__all__' But with the benefit to have for exemple 'restaurant' named after its name and not its ID so I can use it in my template? -

How to run a Docker Container in Heroku

Django not reconnecting to database?
I am using Django channels and once the database connection gets closed, it keeps on returning the following error for subsequent events in consumer: Exception inside application: server closed the connection unexpectedly This probably means the server terminated abnormally before or while processing the request. My question is that why is Django not trying to reconnect to database server automatically. If I have to handle it, where should I handle it? Should I wrap the try except around the whole code and reconnect whenever this error occur. I am using pgbouncer layer in between and my database config looks like: 'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2', 'NAME': 'db_pgbouncer', 'USER': '<user_name>', 'PASSWORD': '<password>', 'HOST': '<ip>', 'PORT': '6432', 'CONN_MAX_AGE': None Edit 1 I happen to notice is when I am running something in atomic block like: with transaction.atomic(using='write') as it is working fine at other places. -

Problem sorting bibliography by author in a Django model with ManyToMany relationship while preserving proper author order
I'm very new to Django so please forgive this question if the answer is obvious. I have struggled with it for several days and finally found a workaround but I'm certain there has to be a better way. Here's the issue in a nutshell: I'm building a Django web site to lists books on various topics. The main listing should be sorted alphabetically by author and that part is easy. Call this 'vertical sorting'.
