django what do i need for authentication after login?
I followed the example in: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.0/topics/auth/default/#django.contrib.auth.login from django.contrib.auth import authenticate, login def my_view(request): username = request.POST['username'] password = request.POST['password'] user = authenticate(request, username=username, password=password) if user is not None: login(request, user) # Redirect to a success page. ... else: # Return an 'invalid login' error message. This code doesn't seem to return any token or some sort to the client but just a redirection. In other codes where django checks authentication, django checks request.user.is_authenticated. Do i need to set this by myself? from django.conf import settings from django.shortcuts import redirect def my_view(request): if not request.user.is_authenticated: return redirect('%s?next=%s' % (settings.LOGIN_URL, request.path)) To get authenticated by decorators such as @login_required or have proper value for request.user.is_authenticated, what do I need to send and receive from the client(ReactJS)? -
Django insert one-to-one field only with its primary key?
When I try to create a basic post, it requires me to pass all the information about the author. post request body: { "author": { "id": 1 }, "title" : "title1", "content": "content1" } error message: { "author": { "username": [ "This field is required." ], "password": [ "This field is required." ], "profile": [ "This field is required." ] } } Is it possible to assign author only by its user id like I tried in the example above? class BasicPost(models.Model): author = models.OneToOneField(User, null=True, on_delete=models.SET_NULL, related_name='author') title = models.TextField() content = models.TextField() created_at = models.DateTimeField(default=timezone.now) modified_at = models.DateTimeField(default=timezone.now) -
Loop through django queryset in Javascript
I'm new to Django and I need to use some JS for my site, but i'm having a hard time understanding it. This is my view, where i am passing 'seats' to my template seats = Seat.objects.filter(screen = screen) seats = serializers.serialize('json', list(seats), fields = ('position', 'status')) context = {'seats': seats} return render(request, 'cart/choose_seat.html', context) This is 'seats' printed What i want to do is print the position of each seat object. So far, i've only written this: <script> var seats = "{{seats}}"; function position() { for (var i=0; i<seats.length; i++){ var obj = seats[i]; document.write(obj) } } </script> So, what should i do to print position? Thanks in advance -
Is bash_profile a shared file? Can SECRET_KEYs be shared between 2 projects?
Working on deploying the two Django projects I've developed, I deployed the first one and ran atom ~/.bash_profile in command line venv to set my SECRET_KEY and DEBUG values. I was able to deploy that app and its up and running fine. Then I went to deploy my second project and used the same command line script to open bash_profile and the SECRET_KEY and DEBUG values from the previous project is what came up. Is bash_profile a shared file? Am I supposed to have the same SECRET_KEY values for two different projects? -
Django FileResponse from io.BytesIO()
I have a view that serves PDF files, but I would like to modify the metadata of the pdfs before sending them. This is what I have so far: import i from django.http import FileResponse, StreamingHttpResponse from PyPDF2 import PdfFileReader, PdfFileWriter def doc_view(request): handle = open("documents/foo.pdf", "rb") base_pdf = PdfFileReader(handle) output_pdf = PdfFileWriter() for page in base_pdf.pages: output_pdf.addPage(page) stream = io.BytesIO() output_pdf.write(stream) stream.seek(0) return FileResponse(stream.read(), content_type="application/pdf") Running stream.read() manually returns a bytes object, which looks like it is ASCII encoded (but not certain of that). The view completes successfully, and returns a 200, but the PDF received by the browser cannot be displayed (it seems to be corrupted somehow). -

Retrieve and update field of a model on views and display updated field in template
I am working on a view that retrieves the field(user's score) that is declared in a model, where I will also update the field(user's score) after a simple if-else statement, then display the field in template. But now, in the template's text area, where I put the result, it is now only showing userScore: userScore object (1), False, instead of the value of the user's score. So, how can I retrieve the score of the user from the model and update the field in views? morse_logs/game1.html {% block content %} <title>GAME 1</title> <h1>GAME 1</h1> <h2>1 + 1 = ?</h2> <form action="" method="get" > <input type="number" id="ans1" name="ans1"/><br><br> <button type="submit" name="game1Answer">Submit</button><br><br> <textarea rows="10" cols="50" name='a2' > {{currentS}} </textarea> </form> </div> {% endblock content %} morse_logs/views.py @login_required() def game1(request): if request.user and not request.user.is_anonymous: user = request.user #else: #Throw some raised exception here as the user is not valid...

Executing a function from a third party package when a Record/Domain model is saved
I've been stuck on this for over a day now. Here is the function I want to execute: https://github.com/gnotaras/django-powerdns-manager/blob/master/src/powerdns_manager/utils.py#L551 rectify_zone As you can see, it saves the model, so if I put it in save(), or a presave or postsave signal, it will result in infinite recursion. In the package, a signal is automatically executed when a Domain or Record is saved in the admin, but not anywhere else. I want to be able to run rectify_zone outside of the admin. At the moment I'm stumped. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance. -

Django, Post Form Data Not Binding or Received By View
My view is not receiving and binding the data from the form. The goal of the form page is standard. Form Page loads without errors, user inputs data, if errors form is reloaded with prior user data and errors called out. If Form is valid it saves data to the DB. I have followed the Django Form documentation, and read through Stack Overflow threads, but have not been able to achieve the above behavior.

How to declare common variables for all methods of a Django class-based view?
I have a class-based view in my Django application and it works fine. But I guess it is not coded well, because it violates the DRY principle. Specifically, I have two absolutely similar declarations of the posts_list variable inside get() and post() methods: class TopicView(View): def get(self, request, topic_id): post_form = PostForm() posts_list = Post.objects.filter(topic_id=self.kwargs['topic_id']).order_by('-creation_date') return render(request, 'discussions/topic.html', {'posts_list': posts_list, 'post_form': post_form, 'topic_id': topic_id}) def post(self, request, topic_id): post_form = PostForm(request.POST) if post_form.is_valid(): post = post_form.save(commit=False) post.author = request.user post.topic = Topic.objects.get(pk=topic_id) post.save() return redirect('discussions:topic', topic_id=topic_id) posts_list = Post.objects.filter(topic_id=self.kwargs['topic_id']).order_by('-creation_date') return render(request, 'discussions/topic.html', {'posts_list': posts_list, 'post_form': post_form, 'topic_id': topic_id}) Is there a way how I can declare this variable as a class attribute instead of a simple variable inside each of the methods? When I declaring it, I use topic_id as a filter for objects, and I extract topic_id from the URL (self.kwargs object, self is passed to both get() and post() as an input parameter). This is the main issue. -
How do I display user profile pic if saved in custom directory?

How to add a row ID in django-tables to get the selected radio button from the specific row
I am trying to use the jQuery to get the row that selected radio is in and also the selected radio button value when using django-tables2. So, I have three columns in a table and I rendered it with django-tables2. The third columns is templatecolumn with the HTML template (buttons.html: <form class="myForm"> <input type="radio" class="Yes" name="result" value="Yes"> <label for="Yes">Yes</label> <input type="radio" class="No" name="result" value="No"> <label for="No">No</label><br> </form> I then add templatecolumn to the table ( I created my own table class by inheriting from tables.Table): myTableCol={} mylist = [] for i in queryResults: mydic = {} for j in i: className=str(type(j)).split(".")[1] mydic.update({className: j.name}) myTableCol.update({className: tables.Column()}) mylist.append(mydic) myTableCol.update({'Action': tables.TemplateColumn(template_name="buttons.html", verbose_name=("Actions"), orderable=True)}) Meta = type('Meta', (object,), {'template_name':"django_tables2/bootstrap4.html", 'attrs':{"class": "paleblue"},}) myTableCol.update({'Meta':Meta}) QueryTable2=type('QueryTable', (tables.Table,), myTableCol) The table is then rendered using {% render_table table %} that gives the html below.

Where does the value 'form' in 'form.as_p' in Django template come from?
I know this question was asked before, but the accepted answer does not really answer the question: where `form.as_p`in django templates come from?

Use a single function for multiple serializer fields with different arguments
I have a serializer for a model with an image field, for which I have saved multiple different sized thumbnail images. I access them by returning their URL using the SerializerMethodField: class GalleryImageSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer): image_sm = serializers.SerializerMethodField() image_md = serializers.SerializerMethodField() image_lg = serializers.SerializerMethodField() image_compressed = serializers.SerializerMethodField() def get_image_sm(self, obj): return default_storage.url(f'{splitext(obj.image.name)[0]}/sm.jpg') def get_image_md(self, obj): return default_storage.url(f'{splitext(obj.image.name)[0]}/md.jpg') def get_image_lg(self, obj): return default_storage.url(f'{splitext(obj.image.name)[0]}/lg.jpg') def get_image_compressed(self, obj): return default_storage.url(f'{splitext(obj.image.name)[0]}/compressed.jpg') This code works, but it kind of violates the "don't repeat yourself" guideline. As you can see, these are all duplicate SerializerMethodFields, with the only difference being the filename, eg 'lg.jpg', 'md.jpg', etc. I'd much prefer to have only one function that I call with an argument for the filename, as an example(pseudocode): class GalleryImageSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer): image_sm = serializers.SerializerMethodField(filename='sm.jpg') image_md = serializers.SerializerMethodField(filename='md.jpg') image_lg = serializers.SerializerMethodField(filename='lg.jpg') image_compressed = serializers.SerializerMethodField(filename='compressed.jpg') def get_image(self, obj, filename=''): return default_storage.url(f'{splitext(obj.image.name)[0]}/{filename}') Currently I am unable to find any way to achieve this. Reading the source code of SerializerMethodField, it doesn't seem to support it. Is there any way to avoid creating duplicate functions for fields with arbitrary differences? -
