Change Django-Notifications Delete Redirect
Im using django-notifications and am displaying notifications at two urls, /inbox/notifications/ and /admin/. By default when a notification is deleted the user is redirected to /inbox/notifications/, which works well when a user deletes the notification from this page. However, seeing as I am also displaying notifications on the admin page, whenever I delete a notification from there, the delete works successfully but redirects the admin to /inbox/notifications/, which is really annoying. My question is how can I change the redirect so that it either redirects to the calling page, or has logic that dicides where to redirect after success. This would be easy enough if this was my own view, but the logic for this is in the django-notifications app. Thank you. -
How to add links dynamically in html files in django?
For my project, I'm searching for articles on google news based on keyword input by the user, I want to display these links obtained from the search on my results page. this is my result.html {% extends 'base.html' %} {% block title %}Result{% endblock %} {% block content %} <h2><a href="{{link_to_post}}" target="_blank">Reported Url</a></h2> <div>Post Content: <br>{{content}}</div> <ul> {% for i in range(5) %} <li><a href="links[i]">headlines[i]</a></li> {% endfor %} </ul> <div> <a href="{% url 'home' %}">Back to Home Page</a> </div> {% endblock %} First question can I attach links in this way, without adding them to urls.py, if not how do I attach these dynamically generated links in my html file. Second, this is the error I'm getting on running this page: Could not parse the remainder: '(5)' from 'range(5)' But in the debug section inside local variables I can see that "links" and "headlines" are correct. So the problem in in this file only. I also tried enclosing "links" and "headlines" inside "{{}}" thank you -

How can one get a video thumbnail in Django with InMemoryUploadedFile?
Use case: mobile clients upload videos via mulitiPart/Form and my Django app stores the file on Google Cloud Storage as well as creates a model instance that points to that video. As Django's request.FILES returns a dictionary of InMemoryUploadedFiles, it makes using mainstream python video processing libraries difficult. All these libraries (ie. CV2, MoviePy etc) expect file paths to a video in order to extract frames but I do not have a file paths, Django only provides InMemoryUploadedFiles. Does anyone have any solutions in mind to create a video thumbnail given the time in the video? Please steer clear of solutions that involve saving the InMemoryUploadedFile to a temporary file as the uploaded videos may be quite large. The file already lives in memory, there must be a way to do this. -

Automatically update user_id and date fields at django into database
I'm new to Python and Django and there are some things I would like to achieve in models.py: After a user submits a form I would like to safe both the current date and the current user_id of the user into the database. I know django offers to use @property decorators for those, but the problem with that is that I would like to make SQL queries using user_id and that doesn't work with decorators. Another related question is how to establish calc fields like an automatic calculation of two values in the form before submitting. -
Django How to pass str value from link a href to view without modifying urls.py?
I wanted to ask you for your help with passing a STR value from a href link to my views.py but without modifying urls.py I am not sure if it possible, but it sounds useful I think, so maybe it is doable? Right now in order to work I have to use urls.py like this: path('my_notes/', views.my_notes, {'category': 'Python'}, name='my_notes'), But I would like to go completely "DRY" and do something like this: <a class="dropdown-item" href="{% url 'my_notes' %}" category="Python">Python</a> And in views.py: def my_notes(request): category = request.GET['category'] notes = Note.objects.filter(category__category=category, sub_category__sub_category="Notes") snippets = Note.objects.filter(category__category=category, sub_category__sub_category="Code_Snippets") context = { 'notes': notes, 'snippets': snippets, 'category': category } return render(request, 'my_notes.html', context) But with this solution i get "MultiValueDictKeyError". I googled it and I tried to convert it to dict, try to add additional "false" arguments but I can't get it to work. I am not even sure if it's right approach? Thanks and Cheers! -

Django model not using another model via a foreign key relationship
I'm trying to create a web app that will allow booking onto training sessions in a running club. I've got my users app and a training_sessions app where coaches can post sessions.

Django - How to include all possible months / quarters / year within range in queryset
I am trying to get the sum of the estimated revenue of projects within a varying range of months, but the issue I am facing right now is that the queryset I receive would leave out the months where no data exists, but I would like to receive data about that month too (with estimated revenue sum 0) so that my data visualisation would be proportional and include all months within the selected range. Here is my code: start = datetime.strptime(self.request.query_params.get('start'), '%Y-%m-%d') end = datetime.strptime(self.request.query_params.get('end'), '%Y-%m-%d') qs = SalesProject.objects.filter(sales_department=d).filter(creation_date__range=(start,end)) qs = qs.annotate(date=TruncMonth('creation_date')).values('date').annotate(est_rev_sum=Sum('sales_project_est_rev')) start and end are parameters passed in through the api call and the parameters dictate the range of months to get. Hence, for example, if start is April 2020 and end is June 2020, and there are only SalesProject instances with 'creation_date' in April and June 2020, but none in May 2020, the qs returned would only have: [{ 'date': April 2020, 'est_rev_sum': 300 }, { 'date': June 2020, 'est_rev_sum': 600 }] but what I would want is for May 2020 to be included as well (even if the sum is 0 and no instances of SalesProject exists in May2020) [{ 'date': April 2020, 'est_rev_sum': 300 }, { … -

Pass input from django-ploly-dash app to other apps of the same django template
I am using django-plotly-dash to insert a set of dash apps, representing each an individual graph, into a django template. Each app or graph has their own input fields to select data and plot it for a given time-frame. Now I would like to move the date-select/input field to one separate dash app, in order to select the data for all apps within the template but I struggle to find a a solution. I consulted the documentation at https://django-plotly-dash.readthedocs.io as well as the examples at https://djangoplotlydash.com/. Any hints on how to move forward are highly appreciated! -
Passing value(0) to empty json response in django
When a null response is sent to ajax there is no change in the chart or table.So, if there is null data sent I want the ajax response.So, for that when json data is sent,I want the output 0 instead of empty JSON response. Example: Problem:{"time_chart": {}, "pie_chart": {"super": 0, "staff": 0, "active": 0, "inactive": 0}, "table_chart": []} Note: How the time_chart responses is null and so is table_chart.I want my output something like this. Expected Output: {"time_chart": {"datetime": [8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1],count": [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]}, "pie_chart": {"super": 0, "staff": 0, "active": 0, "inactive": 0}, "table_chart": [{"username": "", "email": "", "date_joined": ""}]} The view is used to filter certain number of user in given time period.It also distingushes the type of user(Super,Staff or Active). def get_user_type(user): if user.is_superuser and user.is_staff and user.is_active: return "super" elif not user.is_superuser and user.is_staff and user.is_active: return "staff" elif not user.is_superuser and not user.is_staff and user.is_active: return "active" else: return "inactive" def midnight_time(): today = date.today() midnight = datetime.combine(today, datetime.min.time()) return midnight def midnight_yesterday_time(): today = date.today()-timedelta(days=1) midnight = datetime.combine(today, datetime.min.time()) return midnight def hits_in_yesterday(self): today = date.today() midnight = datetime.combine(today, datetime.min.time()) yesterday_hits=midnight-timedelta(days=1) return self.hit_set.filter(created__gte=yesterday_hits,created__lte=midnight).count() def … -
Pass Data From Angular to Dynamically Update Jinja2 Template
I am trying to find out how to pass data from an Angular input to a Jinja2 template that is rendered into an iframe. I understand that you can use postmessage, but I can't wrap my head around changing something like a placeholder and innerHTML in succession. I am running an Angular 8 app with a Django backend that uses Jinja2 for templates. The data sent from my Angular app is in JSON form so on initial load of the Jinja2 template it displays the correct data, but I need to update that data and reflect in in the iframe(Jinja2 template). Say I have something like this in my template <label>{{ label_text }}</label> <input type="text" placeholder="{{ input_placeholder}}"> and I pass in data on initial render as such { "label_text": "This is a label", "input_placeholder": "This is a placeholder" } On initial load it is correct, but how can I change that data dynamically and display it in the iframe live? Think of this as something like the Shopify theme editor. Changing a color/placeholder/text reflects in the iframe. Thank you for reading! -
Display Django-Notifications On Any Page
I am using django-notifications and have successfully added a link to /inbox/notifications/ where a user can view their messages. Now instead of the user visiting /inbox/notifications/ to view their messages, Id like to display the users notifications within another webpage (for example on my homepage). I know I can display a list of unread messages using {% live_notify_list %}, but would like this feed to: 1- Display read and unread messages 2- Id also like it add styling, as {% live_notify_list %} just prints out the messages and metadata in very plain form. Thank you. -

I can't see my elasticbeanstalk application in the browser
I have followed AWS's instructions for deploying a django application using the ebcli. It is important to note, I think, that after running eb init I am prompted to select a reigon, enter my credentials, and set my instance. Afterwhich I receive feedback that my application has been created. I checked the AWS console on the browser and I see nothing. Yes, I checked all regions. I found out that after doing eb list and eb status that the environment wasn't actually created in the eb init step so I referenced this answer: AWS Elastic Beanstalk : the command eb list shows no environments Running eb create --single allowed the application to upload and I could access via the link provided. However, this for some reason is not attached to the instances in my user and cannot see it in the browser. Why is it that I cannot see my application in the AWS console despite it existing and running currently?
