Django+React rest-auth
I am using the rest-auth module to enable user authentication on my web app. Though I am facing some difficulties in fetching details about the user. The Django-rest-framework return a key when I post my username and password, while that's enough for logging in I also want to fetch additional details like user.is_staff, user.username and user.email. I tried to use Token serializer, but I am not sure if I am doing it right. ** settings.py ** REST_AUTH_SERIALIZERS = { 'TOKEN_SERIALIZER': '## How to define the path to my serializer ##', } ** serializers.py ** from rest_framework import serializers from lms.models.post_models import Post from django.contrib.auth.models import User from rest_auth.models import TokenModel class UserSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer): class Meta: model = User fields = ('username', 'email') class TokenSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer): user = UserSerializer() class Meta: model = TokenModel fields = ('key', 'user') Please tell what piece is missing or if any piece is incorrect. Also, please help me figure out the part between ## ##. Thank you! -

Django Admin Classes that Override formfield_for_dbfield - Error
I have a bunch of FlatPages on my django website and would like to translate their content in different languages from the Admin using the django-modeltranslations pacakge. Here is my code: class TinyMCEFlatPageAdmin(FlatPageAdmin): def formfield_for_dbfield(self, db_field, **kwargs): if db_field.name.startswith('content'): return db_field.formfield(widget=TinyMCE(attrs={'cols': 80, 'rows': 30},)) return super().formfield_for_dbfield(db_field, **kwargs) Basically, I created a TinyMCEFlatPageAdmin class from the default one FlatPageAdmin to display the Flatpage content in HTML on the admin site. As far as the translation is concerned, i added the following code: class MyTranslatedFlatPageAdmin(TinyMCEFlatPageAdmin, TabbedTranslationAdmin): def formfield_for_dbfield(self, db_field, **kwargs): field = super().formfield_for_dbfield(db_field, **kwargs) self.patch_translation_field(db_field, field, **kwargs) return field I have then registered the new MyTranslatedFlatPageAdmin class: admin.site.unregister(FlatPage) admin.site.register(FlatPage, MyTranslatedFlatPageAdmin) When i log in to the flatpage content page i receive the following error: formfield_for_dbfield() takes 2 positional arguments but 3 were given I am struggling to find out why as everything seems to be correct to me.

How to select for update postgresql in node js
I'm generally using django, and for operations with ordered concurrency I use next code with transaction.atomic(): try: player = Player.objects.select_for_update().get( id=player.id, player_online=False) except: return bad_response("Unknown error") player.player_socket = socket_id player.save() # Even here it will wait until "with" finished if player.extra_security: print("Ask for password action") else: pass So in this code I get player by criteria and while code inside "with transaction.atomic():" All other queries will WAIT, not returned with error. How can I reproduce such flow in node_js + postgresql (or MongoDb) I have found some solutions but, they not fit, because if object is locked they'll return an error (for mongo db) -

Django TypeError objects is not iterable in Templates
I have two models one is club details and the other is player structure. so my plan is to based on the club iteration which has values like'test', 'odi', 'listA' i need to represent its respective player structure in my Django template. models.py class Clubstate(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=255) def __str__(self): return self.name class PlayerStructure(models.Model): clubstate = models.ForeignKey('Clubstate', on_delete=models.CASCADE, related_name='clubstate') country = models.ForeignKey('TeamStructure', on_delete=models.CASCADE, null=True, related_name='identifier1') firstname = models.CharField(max_length=255) lastname = models.CharField(max_length=255) imageUri = models.ImageField(upload_to='images/', verbose_name='image') JerseyNumber = models.IntegerField() def __str__(self): return self.firstname + self.lastname In views.py I'm using DetailView to represent the data. class PlayerStatistics(DetailView): context_object_name = 'Clubstate_details' model = models.Clubstate template_name = 'CricketDetails/playerstatistics_details.html' Template html <div class="jumbotron"> <div class="container"> <div class="row"> {% for club in Clubstate_details %} <h1>{{club.name</h1> {% endfor %} </div> </div> </div> My thought, logic is like {% for club in clubs %} {{club.name}} {{club.player_structure.firstname}} {{club.player_structure.lastname}} {% endfor%} So that for indivdual club i get its respective player structure. I get TypeError: 'Clubstate' object is not iterable error. Hope that makes sense... -

Django REST Framework - paginate_queryset() takes 2 positional arguments but 3 were given

If anyone has any pointers I would gladly accept. N.B. The standardised_json_response() is just a wrapper which takes a few variables and returns a dict() object, just injecting some extra meta such as the timestamp of the request and the success status (True/False) -

Dynamically create Django settings variables
I have two settings files: settings_commons.py which holds the variables that are common for all instances settings_prod.py prod instance-specific vars settings_dev.py dev instance-specific vars I have multiple variables that set paths for logs, uploads and etc. These paths depend on MNT_DATA_DIR which is different for every instance (dev, prod, etc). I don't want to have these paths duplicated in every instance settings file. What I do in settings_commons.py MNT_DATA_DIR_DEPENDENT_VARS = ( ('FILE_DIR', os.path.join('{MNT_DATA_DIR}', "file_root")), ('LOG_DIR', os.path.join('{MNT_DATA_DIR}', "logs", "lab")), ... ) FILE_DIR_DEPENDENT_VARS = ( ('IMPORT_DATA_DIR', os.path.join('{FILE_DIR}', "Import")), ('REMOTE_DATA_DIR', '{FILE_DIR}'), ... ) And then in the instance-specific file from .settings_commons import * MNT_DATA_DIR = '/mnt/dir' for item in MNT_DATA_DIR_DEPENDENT_VARS: globals()[item[0]] = item[1].format(MNT_DATA_DIR=MNT_DATA_DIR) for item in FILE_DIR_DEPENDENT_VARS: globals()[item[0]] = item[1].format(FILE_DIR=FILE_DIR) Could this approach cause any problems? What about using setattr() instead of globals()? Is this the right approach? -
