Django add custom search function with empty search_fields tuples
I have the following get_search_results within my ModelAdmin to search by user phone number and email: def get_search_results(self, request, queryset, search_term): queryset, use_distinct = super().get_search_results(request, queryset, search_term) try: search_string = str(search_term) users = User.objects.filter(Q(email__icontains=search_string) | Q(phone_number__icontains=search_string)) user_id_list = [int(user.pk) for user in users] queryset |= self.model.objects.filter(user__in=user_id_list) except Exception as e: pass So these search_term won't exist in my model column therefor i won't need model columns in the search_fields. But if i set my search_fields = () then it won't show the search box in the listing page. Are there anyway i can add search box to the list page without specify any columns from the model ? -

accessing javascript outside of django project
I have become the owner of an older webapp that uses django and esri/jsapi3.28. I am trying to reconstruct it in development environment. It works in production using apache2 with document root at the 'webapp' directory. I would like to create a development environment w/o apache2 and instead use django's runserver. But when trying to test in development using runserver, it cannot find the 'my_ext_js' directory. I believe this is because the document root is different? It appears I cannot change the document root. This is the webapp structure. webapp my_ext_js start.js django_app myapp django_app Again, in production, we run apache2 with mod_wsgi and document root is webapp. When running in development, I start runserver in django_app directory django_app> python manage.py runserver how can I run this using runserver in development and have it recognize/see the 'my_ext_js' folder? The production code does not have the 'my_ext_js' in a static folder. The html script just calls: <script src="/my_ext_js/start.js"></script> Any help would be great! Thanks! -

Mix data and schema migrations in one migrations file (Django)?
I've heard the opinion that mix data migration and structure migrations is bad practice in Django. Even if you are specify atomic=False in your Migration class. But i could not find any information on this topic. Even my more expirience collegues could not answer this question. So, is it bad to mix data and structure migrations? If so why? What exactly may happen if i do it? -

Django 3.0 Admin Change Page Not Displaying Selected Option Correctly
I am running Django 3.0 and using Chrome Version 80.0.3987.132 (Official Build) (64-bit) and Firefox version 74 (64-bit). I have a select box on an admin change page for a model, and the correct value from the database is shown this way on the html source page generated by django: <option value="228">Frank</option> <option value="8" selected>Sam</option> <option value="19">Henry</option> However, the page is displayed in both browsers, Chrome and Firefox, with the default value "Pick one of the people", as if nothing has been selected. If I select another value from the drop down list, it is correctly inserted into the database, but the html on the admin change page still does not have selected="selected" in the correct option, but just the word 'selected' as shown above. I was looking online at the correct way to select an option in an option list, and it seems the correct (X)HTML way is to use selected="selected" in the option tag. Why is Django generating the old HTML way with just the word 'selected' in the option tag? Is there a way to fix this, or is this a bug in django or my browsers? I am not using any javascript or css on this … -

Swift 5 How to save UIImagePickerController edited image and upload to Django Rest Framework
Within my Swift app I am attempting to upload the selected image from UIImagePickerController to my Django Rest Framework backend. The problem: (Of many) Resource used: https://www.hackingwithswift.com/read/10/4/importing-photos-with-uiimagepickercontroller I have a "Change Image" button that brings up the image picker when the button is selected and the didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo handles generating the UUID for the photo's name, sets the image to the UIImageView on the storyboard and writes to the documents directory. However, I cannot upload the selected (now saved) image by its name or url. I've confirmed that I am able to upload images using Postman's form-data for Content-Type so I'm leaning more towards the Swift side being wrong.

DRF: How to get view to accept json with a list of dictionaries?
I'm using the APIClient to test my views. resp__1 = self.client.post(reverse('templates'), data=dict(data)) dict(data) shows the following: { "t_stops": [ { "address__pk": 1, "stop_num": 1 }, { "address__pk": 2, "stop_num": 2 } ], "customer__pk": 1 } What I don't want is for all my values in the JSON to be a list. Example would be my customer__pk value showing as [1]. When I do print(request.POST) in one of my views it shows the following: <QueryDict: {'t_stops': ["{'address__pk': 1, 'stop_num': 1}", "{'address__pk': 2, 'stop_num': 2}"], 'customer__pk': ['1']}> What's the proper way of getting these values to show correctly in Django rest? -
Django : How to build create view using forms and querysets?
I'm trying to create reservation create view that allows to break down the reservation process into 3 stages for handling all the database queries and displaying relevant choices accordingly to linkage between models (Personnel Profile has many to many key on Service) 1st stage - allows user to select service 2nd stage - displays available staff members (PersonnelProfile) who are handling this service 3rd stage - displays all the free dates / times based on staff member schedule / existing reservations, POST creates the reservation I got stuck at the 2nd stage as my form doesn't validate.

Could I forward a stream from my website to youtube through their API?
I'm making a website for my church so we don't have to miss services and kids don't have to miss their classes during this pandemic and I made it so we can stream directly to the website but we can't stream to both the website and youtube at the same time since both require either an encoder or a webcam. Do you think I'd be able to somehow emulate an encoder to stream to youtube as well? I don't need help coding it, I just need to know if you think it's possible and if it is, if I should code a package so others can do the same. If I can help give other developers a bigger tool belt, I will. Through some modification of django-encode it may work. I don't think it's against their Terms of Service but I'll do more reading into that. -
