Django-tinymce not showing in admin
I installed django-tinymce, put it in the installed apps, added the url. Then I created a model as below: from tinymce import models as tinymce_models class Post(models.Model): parent = models.ForeignKey('self', blank=True, null=True, on_delete=models.CASCADE) unit = models.DecimalField(max_digits=20, decimal_places=2) title = models.CharField(max_length=200) content = tinymce_models.HTMLField() I have also registered this model into the admin. Upon adding a Post instance through the admin, all the fields are showing, except for the content field. That is the field using Tinymce. The field is just white space with no option to input anything. Anybody know a fix? -

How to implement a python script in a Django web app using parameters from a view
My question about implementing a script into a view in a django web app. I have a .py script that I want to run inside this django web app using the user-supplied data, the configfile, the modelfile and the choice as command line arguments. The output is then a list with different scores which will then be displayed inside the html (not the part I need help with yet). So I have 2 forms, one that uploads a ML model and another one (the one I need help with) that uses user-supplied data to run a uploaded model: class Meta: model = MlModel fields = [ 'modelname', 'configfile', 'modelfile', 'choice', ] class TestForm(forms.Form): testdata = forms.FileField() model = forms.ModelChoiceField(queryset=MlModel.objects.all()) My views are as follow, where the test view is where the testing happens: if request.method == 'POST': form = UploadForm(request.POST, request.FILES) if form.is_valid(): form.save() return HttpResponseRedirect('/mltesting/') else: form = UploadForm() context = {'form':form} return render(request,'mltesting/upload.html', context=context) def test_model(request): submitbutton = request.POST.get("submit") testdata = '' modfile = '' confile = '' choice = '' form = TestForm(request.POST, request.FILES) if form.is_valid(): testdata = request.FILES['testdata'] model = form.cleaned_data.get('model') model = MlModel.objects.get(modelname=model) modfile = model.modelfile.path confile = model.configfile.path choice = model.choice else: form = … -

Django REST Framework: Specify data type of SerializerMethodField
It seems SerializerMethodField assumes the data type of the field is a string, even if it is an int. For instance, I have this field: num_sections = serializers.SerializerMethodField(help_text="The number of sections for this course") def get_num_sections(self, obj) -> int: return obj.sections.count() However, in the auto-generated OpenAPI schema, this field shows up as a string field. Is there any way to set the proper data type for a SerializerMethodField? -
Custom ManyToManyField (Django)

django urls.py: two modules with similar paths
I have two modules in my django app, let's say cats and dogs, and I want to have urls like this: /fluffy/meow.html - Fluffy is a cat's name /fluffy/eat.html /jackie/bark.html - Jackie is a dog /jackie/eat.html - same name as in cats module There will be a lot of different cats and dogs, but it's guaranteed, that cat and dog can't have the same name. If I make urls.py like this: urlpatterns += [ path('<slug:cat_name>/', include('cats.urls')), path('<slug:dog_name>/', include('dogs.urls')), ] request /jackie/eat.html wil be caught by cats module, but there's no cat with name jackie, so it will give 404 error.

Django Allauth - How to hook to custom signals?
I am utilizing Django All Auth for my applications user management. I want to add some custom logic for after an email has been confirmed. I found these in the docs/library (Page 50). There are several signals emitted during authentication flows. You can hook to them for your own needs. • allauth.account.signals.email_confirmed(request, email_address) Sent after the email address in the db was updated and set to confirmed. And inside their signals.py file: email_confirmed = Signal(providing_args=["request", "email_address"]) I created my own signals.py file and added the following code: from allauth.account.signals import email_confirmed from django.dispatch import receiver @receiver(email_confirmed) def custom_logic(sender, **kwargs): a = 0 import ipdb; ipdb.set_trace() if a: pass But when I register an account, and follow the URL to confirm the email, my debugger statement is not being triggered (Note, I am using Debug=True and following the URL from my console, I am not sure if this changes things). Am I connecting to the signal correctly? How would I go about testing this out? -

Razorpay accessing callback URL using GET method instead of POST
I have implemented the Razorpay payment gateway to my platform according to the documentation. As per the documentation after successful payment, the gateway will try to access the URL using the POST method with the order payment information to process the order on the platform. This is the success page I am seeing after the payment as the account is in test mode. After clicking on the success it is redirecting the callback URL using GET method without any data, so I am not able to process the order at my end. According to the docs, it should access using POST method. Does anyone know in what case the gateway is accessing the callback URL with GET method ? -
