Django DateField - how to setup model and form
How should I set-up the model and form to be able to enter the date to the form with different input formats and, at the same time, save to database the date in python's datetime format? I was trying to find an answer here and in Django documentation, but I didn't manage to find out, what is proper way of doing this. I have a DateField field in my model. Date is to be provided by user via form. I want that the form accepts several input formats, especially European-style, but save to database date in python's format. (For the moment, I'm trying to set-up just one format, when I finally understand how does it work, I want to enlarge the allowed input formats list.) My model: class Foo(models.Model): date = models.DateField(null=True) My form: class FooForm(forms.Form): date = forms.DateField(required=False, widget=forms.DateInput(format='%d/%m/%Y', attrs={'placeholder': 'yyyy-mm-dd'})) My settings DATE_INPUT_FORMATS = ['%d/%m/%Y'] Placeholder in the form is just for me to remember the format, in which Django accepts the date. All other format - included the formats specified in settings.py and form's widget, result in non-validation of the form. With the code like above, it seems that Django is doing the opposite of what I … -
Django URLs doesn't support to have any patters. How to solve this error
My main folder URL has the following code: from django.contrib import admin from django.urls import path, include urlpatterns = [ path('admin/', admin.site.urls), path('',include('quotes.urls')), ] And my website folder has this code: from django.urls import path from . import views urlpatters = [ path('',views.home, name="home") ] This is the error I am getting: C:\stock\stocks\quotes\urls.py changed, reloading.

Django Decorator For Try Except
I am wondering if there is some existing (or one I could write) decorator that does a try except on the function, and if it fails, returns a 404/403/500 (not sure which is supposed to be shown) page. Thanks! -
Django Twilio - Not all unsubscribers are being captured in my app - why?
I've implemented a function to capture unsubscribers. However, only some of the unsubscribers are captured by my app. For example I am getting multiple 21610 - Attempt to send to unsubscribed recipient for customers that have replied stop and were not captured in my app as unsubscribers. Here is the part of phone number sms webhook that checks if user wants to unsubscribe: if umessage_body == 'STOP' or umessage_body == 'STOPALL' or umessage_body == 'UNSUBSCRIBE' or umessage_body == 'CANCEL' or umessage_body == 'END' or umessage_body == 'QUIT': place_num = request.POST['To'] Unsubscriber.objects.update_or_create( unsubscriber_number = request.POST['From'], place = place ) resp = MessagingResponse() return HttpResponse(str(resp)) For context my app sends text messages to thousands of users at once, maybe it is something about my webhook being overwhelmed. Any idea what is causing this, and how to ensure all unsubscribers are being captured in my app. -
Sending upgrade progress from S3 Boto3 to Angular Frontend
I am using Django to upload files to AWS S3 using Boto3. I have been successful in doing this, but I wonder how I can get the AWS S3 upload progress, provided by Boto3 via a callback, sent over to the frontend. I am using the code similar to the following to upload using Boto3: s3.upload_file("filename.txt", AWS_BUCKET_NAME, "key", Callback=ProgressPercentage("filename.txt")) And in turn using the callback example provided by the Boto3 docs: import os import sys import threading class ProgressPercentage(object): def __init__(self, filename): self._filename = filename self._size = float(os.path.getsize(filename)) self._seen_so_far = 0 self._lock = threading.Lock() def __call__(self, bytes_amount): # To simplify, assume this is hooked up to a single filename with self._lock: self._seen_so_far += bytes_amount percentage = (self._seen_so_far / self._size) * 100 sys.stdout.write( "\r%s %s / %s (%.2f%%)" % ( self._filename, self._seen_so_far, self._size, percentage)) sys.stdout.flush() But instead of passing the output to sys.stdout.write I want to somehow get it over to the frontend (specifically, to an Angular client). Any ideas on how I do this? If I do print the output of the above callback I get the following in the Django console: filename.txt 262144 / 3457480.0 (7.58%) filename.txt 524288 / 3457480.0 (15.16%) filename.txt 786432 / 3457480.0 (22.75%) ...

I really don’t understand this allautho. Is really frustrating me
Before now I was just using the regular generic views LoginView, LogOutView and I redirected the default redirection to account/profile to a url of my choice. More interesting is that the next works, if you want to do something, it will redirect you to where you wanted to go before you where asked to login. But is not the same with allauth, it doesn’t redirect you to the place you wanted to go before you where asked to login and the worst is it redirects you to account/profile. I have done everything I can and googled for all the solutions that I can but I can’t get any help. I tried putting LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL in the settings.py but it gave error and said LOGIN not defined! Please guru in the house, help me. -

Django getting SMTP Server URL as URL in the password reset email
I made a Django application with custom users. I followed the docs to create my password reset pages and forms. I found this similar question and tweaked my configuration to use the right domain name. My SITE_ID is set to 1, and I'm sure the Site with pk=1 is configured to be my domain. When I try to get a password reset email, the subject contains the correct URL for the site I am requesting the password reset for. (Subject is "Password reset for myMainDomain.com") The problem is the link inside the mail: the auto-generated link points to a CNAME of my mailserver, for some unknown reason. Django shouldn't even know that, since the only place I put the mailserver's domain is in the mail settings in setting.py My users.urls.py: urlpatterns = [path('accounts/', include('django.contrib.auth.urls')), path('', views.UserListView.as_view(), name='lista-user'), path('accounts/signup/', views.Iscriviti.as_view(), name='signup'), path('<int:pk>', views.Profilo.as_view(), name='profilo'), path('accounts/edit/<int:pk>', views.Modifica.as_view(), name='modifica-utente')] My template password_reset_email.html: Here is your password-reset link: {{ protocol }}://{{ domain }}{% url 'password_reset_confirm' uidb64=uid token=token %} Relevant part of my settings.py: EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend' EMAIL_HOST = 'mail.myMailServerdomain.it' EMAIL_PORT = '25' EMAIL_HOST_USER = 'MYUSER' EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = 'MYPASS' EMAIL_USE_TLS = False EMAIL_USE_SSL = False DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL = 'noreply@myMailServerdomain.it' SITE_ID = 1 # -> This is … -

How to show the value of radio button from database to html template in Django?
To show the value in the edit page, incase of a simple textbox, we can show the value stored in database using {{ data.note }} where data is rendered from the views.py to html template. <div class="col-md-4 mb-3"> <label>Notes <span class="red-color">*</span></label> <input type="text" name="important_note" class="form-control" id="important_note" value="{{ data.note }}"> </div> If I want to do the same incase of the following group radio button, how can I show the selected value stored in database table ? (for example, Value B is stored in the database) <div class="col-md-4 mb-3" id="list_id"> <label>Select List</label> <input type="radio" name="list" value ="A" id="A"> A <br> <input type="radio" name="list" value="B" id="B"> B <br> <input type="radio" name="list" value="C" id="C"> C <br> <input type="radio" name="list" value="D" id="D"> D <br> <input type="radio" name="list" id="E" value="E"> E </div> NOTE: I don't want to use forms.py in this case.

Django serializing foreign key ids incorrectly
This is driving me nuts. I have a nested serializer that is retrieving the id of the related model. The id SHOULD be 5 but it's returning as 1. Hence when I run the following: class ReviewsMember(APIView): def get(self, request, *args, **kwargs): reviews = Review.objects.all() serializer = ReviewSerializer(reviews, many=True) review = serializer.data questions = review[0].get('review_questions') for question in questions: question_id = question.get('id') check_question = Question.objects.get(pk=question_id) return Response(serializer.data) I get DoesNotExist: Question matching query does not exist. at the check_question line.

Which is the best way to validate errors in Django?
I found that there is a lot of ways to validate errors in Django, I'm just wondering which one is preferable and why? e.g. using clean in form, like : deadline = self.cleaned_data.get('deadline') if datetime.strptime(str(deadline)[:19], '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S') < datetime.today(): raise forms.ValidationError(_('Deadline cannot be in past!')) return deadline before saving we can validate if there is any error and sending the instence if everything right, like: def save(self, force_insert=False, force_update=False, *args, **kwargs): if datetime.strptime(str(deadline)[:19], '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S') < datetime.today(): raise forms.ValidationError(_('Deadline cannot be in past!')) else: super(MODEL, self).save(force_insert, force_update, *args, **kwargs) also, we can do that in the forms in the class form we can check before saving if everything is right I want to know which is the best as a programmer and write a professional code -
Django fetch GenericRelation with aggregation
I'm using Django and Django Rest Framework to build my service. I used GenericForienkey to enable user to take an action on generic objects which contains Post model in here.

uwsgi/nginx doesn't respond until subprocess is done
