Django manager queries don't work in a sequence of queries
Here's the problem: I've implemented a custom manager for a model with just one custom query named get_by_tag and it's working fine if I use it this way: UsageStatistic.objects.get_by_tag('some-tag-name').filter(user=user_id) But when I change the order of queries, in this way: UsageStatistic.objects.filter(user=user_id).get_by_tag('some-tag-name') it doesn't work! and raise this error: AttributeError: 'QuerySet' object has no attribute 'get_by_tag' Am I missing something?! P.S: FYI the custom manager is somethin like this: class MyCustomManager(models.Manager): def get_by_tag(self, tag_name): posts = Post.objects.filter(tags__pk=tag_name) return super().get_queryset().filter(post__pk__in=posts) -

Django forms are not being processed with POST request
I have written the most basic Django application to understand forms as below. When I enter the required data into the fields and press Submit, the code after "if request.method == 'POST'" is ignored. I am redirected to the appropriate page and an entry with the first name "John" and last name "Smith" is created in my database. As you can see in the code below, this object should only be created if the request method is not POST. I know that I have set the request method to POST because that is what is shown on my CMD so what is happening?? Here is my template 'index.html': <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>Welcome to the site</title> </head> <body> <form action="thanks/" method='POST'> {% csrf_token %} {{ form.as_p }} <input type="submit" vlaue="Submit"> </form> </body> </html> Here is my views.py file: from django.shortcuts import render from django.http import HttpResponseRedirect from .forms import NewObjectForm from .models import Object # Create your views here. def index(request): if request.method == 'POST': form=NewObjectForm(request.POST) if form.is_valid(): first_name=form.cleaned_data['first_name'] last_name=form.cleaned_data['last_name'] a=Object.create(first_name=first_name,last_name=last_name) a.save() return HttpResponseRedirect('/thanks/') else: new=Object.create(first_name="Not",last_name="Valid") new.save() else: #Code which is run if the request.method is not equal to 'POST' form=NewObjectForm() newer=Object.objects.create(first_name="John",last_name="Smith") newer.save() return render(request,'formapp/index.html',{'form':form}) def end(request): return render(request,'formapp/thanks.html') -
How to hide html button if queryset doesn't have next blog post in Django?
I would like to hide the Next button in my blog if there is no next blog post available. Is there some kind of built-in method to check has_next has_previous or do I need to create some logic in my view and extend the template with let's say {% if Foo %} show button {% endif %} ? views.py def render_post(request, id): category_count = get_category_count() most_recent = Post.objects.order_by('-timestamp')[:3] post = get_object_or_404(Post, id=id) next_post_id = int(id) + 1 previous_post_id = int(id) - 1 PostView.objects.get(post=post) context = { 'post': post, 'id': id, 'next_post_id': next_post_id, 'previous_post_id': previous_post_id, 'most_recent': most_recent, 'category_count': category_count, } return render(request, 'post.html', context) html <div id="button-wrapper"> <button class="buttons" type="submit"><a href="/post/{{previous_post_id}}">Previous</a></button> <button class="buttons" type="submit"><a href="/post/{{next_post_id}}">Next</a></button> </div> -
Management command does not show up when installed as third party
I am the author of django-persistent-settings. I have realized something odd. The app has various management commands. When I do python setup.py --help in django-persistent-settings project, the management commands do show up: [persistent_settings] delvar getvar setvar These commands are also tested in the library. However, these commands do not show up when I install it to a project. I wonder why that is. I have read the related section of the docs but could not have found a warning, subsection or something alike regarding my problem. I have also checked the source code of some other projects having custom management commands such as django-simple-history or django-rest-framework. They do more or less the same thing. Is there maybe something I don't know? An issue I haven't seen but encountered somehow? Reanimating the Unexpected Behavior Make sure Django 2 is installed and create a dummy project. django-admin --version # django 2.2.12 or something similar django-admin createproject foo cd foo virtualenv .venv source .venv/bin/activate pip install "django<3" django-persistent-settings Open up foo/settings.py and add it INSTALLED_APPS: INSTALLED_APPS = [ # ...

What are the tricks about importing modules?
I am working on a django project. In views.py I invoked a function from custom.py . The problem is it is working nicely. But I didn't write something like: from .custom import * or import custom In a sentence, there is not the the word 'custom' anywhere in views.py. Why it's working?

Django - Search field
I am working on creating a real estate web app. I want to know which is the best implementation to set up my location search field. I have the Places API up and running (autocompleting with location suggestions), but I am a bit lost now, on how I can retrieve the the information and return filter properties based on the user's preferred location. Should I go with custom SQL query? (I am using posgres) 2)Is there any established way to do that with google places/map API or any other? I tried to make it with Django's built in icontains method but my search field returns something like: {London, UK, } which means many words separated with comma and icontains does not work that way. Happy for any suggestion. -

Accessing Many-To-Many Data From Another Many-To-Many Relationship
