Efficent way to update a random value for django models
I'm using Django with PostgreSQL and I want to know if there is a way to update a certain number of models, that have uniques fields, with random values. My problem is I need to update 5k of users changing his emails and usernames with random values. These fields are uniques, which means two instances can't have the same values. My logic is: for each user, (1) generate random email string, then if there isn't any user with that email, use that string, else back to 1 # Python2.7 Django 1.11, but everything helps from django.contrib.auth.models import User from django.utils.crypto import get_random_string for user in User.objects.order_by('-pk')[:5000].iterator(): # Generate random email while True: random_email = get_random_string(10) if not User.objects.filter(email=random_email).exists(): user.email = random_email break # Generate random username while True: random_username = get_random_string(10) if not User.objects.filter(username=random_username).exists(): user.username = random_username break user.save() -

Getting rid of port in URL for django installation in production

I don't know if Plesk might be interferring in catching traffic from port 80. Thanks in advance -
Override parent css settings using child gives unknown property name
I'm trying to override the parent settings of a dropdown menu using a child class in CSS. Unfortunately, when I try to do this it gives me an "unknown property name" error on the child class, even though I use the exact same property on the parent class. The CSS code looks like: .dropdown { position: relative; display: inline-block; } .dropdown-content { display: none; position: absolute; overflow: hidden; min-width: 160; min-heigth: 100; background-color: #f9f9f9; box-shadow: 0px 8px 16px 0px rgba(0,0,0,0.2); padding: 12px 16px; z-index: 1; left:20%; } .test { min-width: 1080; min-heigth: 480; } .dropdown:hover .dropdown-content { display: inline-block; } And the HTML code (django template format) looks like: {% for info in infos %} <div class="dropdown"> <a href="#">dropdown item</a> <div class="dropdown-content"> {% if info.2 == "img" %} <!-- display image --> {% elif info.2 == "gif" %} <div class="test">Gifs and Videos are disabled for preview.</div> {% endif %} </div> </div> {% endfor %} In which info.2 will always contain either the string "gif" or "img".

Django custom authentication using an external API endpoint
I have an API endpoint from my company that takes username and password and returns 200 response if the user is authenticated. The response body has all details about the user like user_id, name etc. Another endpoint allows a GET request with user_id as a parameter and tells if user is authenticated. For login: I use the first endpoint with POST request to check response code and also set user_id in my session so that i can later use this user_id to send a GET request to see if user is still authenticated. How can I use this in combination of login_required decorator to make sure user is authenticated for all the views in my application? Or is there any other way I can customize middleware.py for this functionality? -
get_initial() function simplification

Django radio buttons appearing as bullet point list, inside mark_safe()
