JQuery: Posting Files with FormData-Objects
So i am using a ModelForm for an updateview and want to append some files using a Javascript FormData-Object, submiting the whole form using JQuery. It seems, that the Image-Files dont get posted. views.py: class SowiUpdateView(UserPassesTestMixin, LoginRequiredMixin, UpdateView): def post(self, request, *args, **kwargs): print(request.POST) return super(SowiUpdateView, self).post(request, *args, **kwargs) The javascript: var formData = new FormData(document.getElementById("form_id")); for (var i = 0, len = filesToUpload.length; i < len; i++) { // filesToUpoad is a List containing a dict, with file i access the file formData.append("files", filesToUpload[i].file); } $.ajax({ headers: { "X-CSRFToken": getCookie("csrftoken") }, url: "{% url 'sowi-update' object.id %}", data: formData, contentType: false, processData: false, async: false, method: 'POST', type: 'POST', success: function (data) { // console.log(data); }, error: function (data) { console.log("ERROR - " + data.responseText); } }); Strangely, the serverside-post-data-output gives all the FormData-Data but the "files"-object. What's wrong? I Tried just appending a string instead of a file, and that worked. Thanks for your help!! -

django-simple-history is storing changes twice
I tried django-simple-history and I discovered that every create or update is stored twice in the history model. I don't know which information is now useful for you to help me, but I use CBV's and model forms. I followed the instructions on how to install and setup and everything works fine. What I'm wondering is why there is a command line called clean_duplicate_history, which indeed removes all duplicates records. Thank you in advance for any help. -

How to set the landing page for user after login with django-allauth
I have the following in my project's urls.py: path('accounts/', include('allauth.urls')), path('survey/',include(('survey.urls','survey'), namespace='survey')), In my project's setting.py: LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL='survey/' When I am on the login page of my application and click to submit.

Fargate : Uwsgi died because of signal 9 , Django project

How to index columns created by django-modeltranslation to Elastic, using django-elasticsearch-dsl?
I've translated my Model fields with django-modeltranslation and implemented search using django-elasticsearch-dsl. Problem: django-modeltranslation creates translation fields in DB, and not in my Models, and search is working only for fields created by Model.

Is it possible to change screen templates dynamically with Django framework in Python?
I am trying to build a Graphical User Interface with Django framework in Python. The goal is to have three or more intercheangeable screens: Product Menu, User Input and Payment. Is it possible to change the order of screen sequence at runtime? For example: Product Menu>Payment>User Input Payment>Product Menu>User Input User Input>Payment>Product Menu Looking at the documentation of Kivy (another framework), it offers the following functionality: Advanced Usage From 1.8.0, you can now switch dynamically to a new screen, change the transition options and remove the previous one by using switch_to(): sm = ScreenManager() screens = [Screen(name='Title {}'.format(i)) for i in range(4)] sm.switch_to(screens[0]) # later sm.switch_to(screens[1], direction='right') If not possible in Django, which framework allows to achieve this goal? -

How to allow anonymous post requests, but deny unauthorized get requests in django?
In C# you can easily attach [AllowAnonymous] to a request so that that specific method can be used. In django however I am a bit confused with Views, Serializers, ... Am I correct that a ViewSet allows you to see what a certain Serializer class contains? If so I would want that to be hidden ofcourse in the case of users. class UserViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet): queryset = User.objects.all().order_by('-date_joined') serializer_class = UserSerializer authentication_classes = (TokenAuthentication,) permission_classes = (IsAuthenticated,) This is how I implemented it and it works just fine. So when I go to http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/users/ I get an error that I am not authenticated. Now the problem is with registering a new user. class UserSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer): class Meta: model = User fields = ['id', 'username', 'email', 'password'] extra_kwargs = {'password': {'write_only': True, 'required': True}} def create(self, validated_data, AllowAny): user = User.objects.create_user(**validated_data) return user When I hit http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/users/ with a post request in my Angular app with newly registered userData, I obviously get an authentication error. How can I resolve that I or anyone with not enough rights, is not allowed to SEE the data of users, but however everyone is able to create (post) a new user? -
How to set an initial model field to inherent from previous views
I'm using Django to create an application that acts as a project management system. I have it set to where a user can create a project and then they can upload files that are grouped under that project. I use two models to achieve this, Projects and Drawings with Drawing using a foreign key field from Projects to create the relationship. My issue is that when users are viewing a specific project I would like the Drawing form to inherit the name of the project they were just looking at so that we don't get improperly uploaded files. I think I might be able to achieve this from the init method but not entirely sure how to grab the previous pk coming from the last view. path('project_drawings/<int:pk>/', views.ProjectDrawings, name='project_drawings'), path('project_drawingscreate/', views.ProjectDrawingsCreate.as_view(), name='project_drawingscreate'), class DrawingsForm(forms.ModelForm): def __init__(self, project ): class Meta(): model = Drawings fields = ('project', 'title', 'drawings', ) widgets = { 'project':forms.Select(attrs={'class':'form-control'}), 'title':forms.TextInput(attrs={'class':'form-control'}), } class ProjectDrawingsCreate(LoginRequiredMixin,generic.CreateView): form_class = DrawingsForm model = Drawings template_name = 'projects/project_drawingscreate.html' def form_valid(self, form, **kwargs): drawings = form.save(commit=False) drawings.user = self.request.user drawings.save() form.save_m2m() return redirect('projects:index') -

How to pass multiple authentication_classes in django rest framework?
