How can i create a dynamic dropdown form using jquery
i am working on a Django project and i am trying to implement a dropdown form on button click. I have a dropdown form when a button is clicked and each form has its own button, the problem is that when i clicked on a particular form button, all other forms dropdown as well. I want only the particular form to dropdown while the others do not. I think this has to do with passing the id of the form to each button clicked. This is what i tried. Template: {% for comment in all_comments %} <ul> <li class="float-right"> <!--Dropdown--> <div class="dropdown dropdown-commentdeleteedit"> <a data-toggle="dropdown" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false"> <i class="fas fa-ellipsis-h grey-text"></i> </a> <!-- Menu --> <div class="dropdown-menu font-small z-depth-1"> <a class="dropdown-item material-tooltip-email editform-dropdown" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top" title="Edit"> <img src="{{ '/static/' }}images/edit24px.png" width="18" height="18"></a> </div> </div> <!--Dropdown--> </li> {% endif %} <h6 class="comment editcomment-text ml-5"> {{ comment.comment_post }} </h6> <!-- DROPDOWN EDIT COMMENT FORM --> <form method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data" class="ajaxcomment-editform editcommentform editcomment-form mb-4" id="" action="{% url 'site:comment_update' post.id comment.id %}"> {% csrf_token %} <textarea name="comment_post" cols="20" rows="5" required="" id="id_comment_post{{ comment.id }}">{{ comment.comment_post }}</textarea> <button type="submit" class="btn btn-sm waves-effect z-depth-1">Save</button> </form> </ul> {% endif %} Jquery: <script type="text/javascript"> //HIDE AND SHOW COMMENT EDIT FORM … -

Correctly export column headers from Django to csv
New to Django and python as well. Issue that I am having while maintaining a Django app is when exporting records from django, one of the field names is showing up as get_mobile instead of mobile. code for the get_mobile function is def get_mobile(self): if self.mobile: return str(' '.join([self.mobile[:4], self.mobile[4:7], self.mobile[7:]])) else: return self.mobile get_mobile.short_description = 'Mobile' code for writing the header data is # Write header. header_data = {} for name in headers: if hasattr(self, name) \ and hasattr(getattr(self, name), 'short_description'): header_data[name] = getattr( getattr(self, name), 'short_description') else: field = None try: field = self.model._meta.get_field(name) except FieldDoesNotExist: pass if field and field.verbose_name: header_data[name] = field.verbose_name else: header_data[name] = name header_data[name] = header_data[name].title() writer.writerow(header_data) I kind of have a general idea of where the issue lies - the header is using the function name instead of the short_description. Being new, I am kind of stuck at getting my head around the header code itself. Would greatly appreciate if someone could help me understand the header code please and explain why it is currently not working as expected - my understanding is it should be using the short_description for mobile instead of function name get_mobile when exporting the records. TIA -

Different pieces of web development
I would like to start learning web development for an e-commerce website that includes a chat option. I have been daunted by the new terms that I no longer know what I need to learn. So I know there is backend and frontend, but where do things like django, rest API, ajax, apache, msquery, vue and other stuff fall into the puzzle. What exactly do I need to know for full-stack development. Could someone walk me through different pieces needed? Thanks!! -

Preventing Users From Submitting A Form More Than Once
I have a multi-part form that users can leave mid-way through and come back to at any time. However, users can only submit it once so I want to prevent them from even being able to view any part of it once they have completed the final section. I figured I could either: 1 Have a boolean within the user model (False == havent submitted the form, True == have submitted). 2 Create two user groups, a default group for users who havent completed the form, and another for those who have - which users would be allocated to using a signal triggered when they submit the final form. I could then add checks for these in the template and not display the button if they fail, and add checks to the views to prevent users from accessing the form by typing it directly into the url bar. Which (if either) of these methods is best? Or is there another way more suitable / less hacky / more aligned with Django conventions. Thank you. -

writing djnago test for __str__ in a model
I want to test my blog app. After running coverage, I have about 91% with 4 missing. The coverage pointed out the lines of code below to be missing. def publish(self): self.published_date=timezone.now() self.save() def __str__(self): return self.title Thus, I decided to write a test for str(self). Here is what the test looks like class PostTest(TestCase): def create_post(self, title="only a test", text="Testing if the created title matches the expected title"): return Post.objects.create(title=title, text=text, created_date=timezone.now()) def test_post_creation(self): w = self.create_post() self.assertTrue(isinstance(w, Post)) self.assertEqual(str(w), w.title) The test fails with the following error. django.db.utils.IntegrityError: null value in column "author_id" violates not-null constraint DETAIL: Failing row contains (1, only a test, Testing if the created title matches the expected title, 2020-05-31 05:31:21.106429+00, null, null, 0, null, 2020-05-31 05:31:21.108428+00, ). This is what the model looks like: class Post(models.Model): author = models.ForeignKey(settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL, on_delete=models.CASCADE) title = models.CharField(max_length=200) slug = models.SlugField(max_length=200, unique=True, blank= True, null=True) updated_on = models.DateTimeField(auto_now= True) text = models.TextField() created_date = models.DateTimeField(default=timezone.now) published_date = models.DateTimeField(blank=True, null=True) status = models.IntegerField(choices=STATUS, default=0) photo = models.ImageField(upload_to='photos/%Y/%m/%d/', blank=True) class Meta: ordering = ['-published_date'] def publish(self): self.published_date=timezone.now() self.save() def __str__(self): return self.title How do you suggest I write the test to fix this error and improve the coverage? -
Как получить логин пользователя в models или views
Я новичок в Django, не могу сообразить, как через request получить логин пользователя. Делаю сайт типа словаря, и нужно, чтобы каждая добавленная запись помечалась тем, кто ее добавил. Вот мой models.py from django.db import models class EngDict(models.Model): orig_word = models.CharField(max_length=500, null=False,blank=False, verbose_name='Слово') translate = models.CharField(max_length=500,null=False,blank=False, verbose_name="Перевод") remarks = models.TextField(null=True, blank=True, verbose_name="Примечания") published_by = models.CharField(max_length=50, verbose_name="Добавлено", initial=request.user) published_date = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True, db_index=True, verbose_name="Дата добавления") category = models.ForeignKey('Category', null=True, blank=True, on_delete=models.PROTECT, verbose_name = 'Категория') class Meta: verbose_name = ("Перевод") verbose_name_plural = "Англо-русский словарь" ordering = ['-published_date'] А это views.py from django.shortcuts import render from django.template import loader from .models import EngDict, Category from django.views.generic.edit import CreateView from .forms import EngDictForm from django.urls import reverse_lazy from django.views.generic import TemplateView, ListView, FormView from django.db.models import Q from django.contrib.auth.forms import AuthenticationForm from django.contrib.auth import login class EngDictCreateView(CreateView): template_name = 'dict/create.html' form_class = EngDictForm success_url = reverse_lazy('index') def get_context_data(self, **kwargs): context = super().get_context_data(**kwargs) context['categories'] = Category.objects.all() return context Я так понимаю, мне надо написать функцию типа def user_name(request) , но я не могу сообразить где должна быть эта функция и как она должна выглядеть. Мне по идее надо, чтобы в published_by автоматом подставлялся логин пользователя при создании новой записи. -
middleware updates request.user, but request.user becomes AnonymousUser in view
I wrote a simple JWT middleware to get user from the JWT. The method get_user_from_jwt returns a User object. # app.middlewares.py class JwtMiddleware: def __init__(self, get_response): self.get_response = get_response def __call__(self, request): self.process_request(request) return self.get_response(request) def process_request(self, request): request.user = self.get_user_from_jwt(request.headers) ... In settings: MIDDLEWARE = [ 'corsheaders.middleware.CorsMiddleware', 'whitenoise.middleware.WhiteNoiseMiddleware', 'django.middleware.security.SecurityMiddleware', 'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware', 'django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware', 'django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware', 'django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware', 'django.contrib.messages.middleware.MessageMiddleware', 'django.middleware.clickjacking.XFrameOptionsMiddleware', 'app.middlewares.JwtMiddleware', ] When I log, request.user is set to the proper User instance at the middleware level, but once at the view, request.user becomes AnonymousUser. I tried switching the orders of the middlewares too. Any ideas how I can update what request.user means inside my views using a middleware? -
Unit Test: How To Mock MEDIA_ROOT But Still Access A File That Is Stored In My Normal MEDIA Folder
Im testing one of my webpages POST functions. if request.method == 'POST' it generates a pdf and attaches it to the user. Every time I ran tests I was generating pdf files which were building up in my MEDIA folder and I had to manually delete them. I decided to look for ways to prevent this from happening and what seems to me to be the best way is to override my MEDIA_ROOT with a tempfile. I am getting the following error message FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'C:\\Users\\Acer\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\profile_pics\\default.jpg' I am sure this is due to the fact that I must create and log-in a user prior to running the test (I dont want to do this in setup as I must generate different types of users for different tests). Every time a user is created their profile picture is set to profile_pics\\default.jpg'. My understanding is that the mocked MEDIA_ROOT is empty and doesnt contain the default profile pic, so the error is thrown. My question is how can I circumvent this? I found other solutions besides mocking the MEDIA_ROOT folder, but they seem quite hacky and id prefer to do it properly and hopefully learn from … -

Javascript Errors when loading Bootstrap Modal a second and third time that contains a form with drop downs
I'm a complete beginner...please excuse the mess. Only been learning for about a month. The structure is like this. I have a nav.html template I've created for a top level menu across the site. It contains a drop down for creating New entries...and in this case a 'New Job' Job has two special parts. I've used Django-autocomplete-light for finding/creating new customers in the one form. This leverages select2 and some other javascript wizards A google places autocomplete for finding site addresses Everything worked fine as just opening in a fresh page. Then I decided I wanted to put the New Job form in to a modal instead. I'm an idiot. I'm using non-modified bootstrap css and the js for it as well...but pulled them down to be local copies in my static folder. Same goes for jquery and popper. Got it to actually work/pop up fine but then these happened in the background. Grabs from the google chrome console. These are the errors I see when just opening and closing without entering any data. I started learning about the javascript event loop and it hurt my brain...but does this all have something to do with that? This kind of feels … -
How can I define a function in django so that stays active in background?
How can I define a function that stays active in background? For example, I want django to update all of the movies in database using IMDB information. If there are too many movies in database, It can take too long for django to update them. So I want the process of updating to stay active in background and don't stop if I close web browser. 1) How is this possible? 2) Can I add a progress bar to see how many movies are updated so far ? -
how to handle a variable number of arguments in django query
My current project has me building a page where the output can be filtered by category. Meaning by default you get a full list of items but you can narrow the output by clicking on ( multiple or a single) check boxes. The idea would be if you only want to see the results from two categories you can choose those two and just see items from those two categories. (think like an Amazon page where you can can search for an item but filter the results) This works through a form using the get method. So the url will look something like: ip/?family=category_one&family=category_two My code is as below: Please note the Firmware model is related to ProductModel through a ManyToManyField and ProductModel is related to Family through a ForeignKey relation *models class Family(models.Model): family_id = models.UUIDField(primary_key=True, default=uuid.uuid4, editable=False) slug = models.SlugField(null=False, unique=True) family_name = models.CharField(max_length=50, editable=True, unique=True) class ProductModel(models.Model): model_id = models.UUIDField(primary_key=True, default=uuid.uuid4, editable=False) model_number = models.CharField(max_length=25, editable=True, unique=True) family_id = models.ForeignKey(Family, on_delete=models.DO_NOTHING, editable=True, null=False, blank=False) class Firmware(models.Model): firmware_id = models.UUIDField(primary_key=True, default=uuid.uuid4, editable=False) version = models.CharField(max_length=50, help_text='The \'version number\' of the firmware', editable=True) model_id = models.ManyToManyField(ProductModel, editable=True) *View: class FirmwareListView(ListView): model = Firmware context_object_name = 'firmwares' qs = QuerySet() … -
