How can I CSS-style different returns from the same Python function?
I have a Python function which returns different messages in different scenarios. I want to style different messages differently, but I don't know how to do it. This is my function: def checkans(request, spanish_id): random_spanish_question = get_object_or_404(Spanish, pk=spanish_id) query = request.GET.get('ans') coreng = random_spanish_question.english_set.get() if query == str(coreng): message = { 'message' : "Correct!" } return JsonResponse(message) else: message = { 'message' : "Incorrect. The correct answer is " + str(coreng) } return JsonResponse(message) This is the HTML page: <div class="flexcontainer" style="justify-content: center;"> <div class="sectiontitle">Quiz time </div> <div class="question_card"> <div class="question_word">{{ random_spanish_question }}</div> <div id="msg"></div> <form action="/checkans/{{random_spanish_question.id}}/" method="get">{% csrf_token %} <label for="ans">Answer:</label> <input type="text" name="ans"autofocus autocomplete="off" id="ansfield"/> <input type="submit" value="Submit"/ id="submitbtn"> </form> <input type="submit" value="Skip"/> <button onclick="location.reload();">Next</button> </div> </div> And this is the JS and AJAX code: $('form').on('submit', function(e){ e.preventDefault(); var form = $(this); var url = form.attr('action'); $.ajax({ type: 'GET', url: url, data: form.serialize(), success: function(data){ $("#msg").html(data.message); } }); disable(); }) function disable(e){ $('#submitbtn').prop('disabled', true); $('#ansfield').prop('disabled', true) } For example, I want to make the "Correct!" message green, while if it returns "Incorrect...", I want it to be red, and underline the answer, "str(coreng)". Please tell me how I can do it. Thanks in advance! -

Django password protected pages
I've made a Django based website that can authenticate users by logging in, but I'm wondering if there is a way I could lock pages to a password? for example, on the front page I would have a form asking for a code (such as "SecretPassword1") and once a correct passphrase has be entered you would be re-directed to a 'secret' page? is this possible or am I thinking about it in the wrong way?

How do I link the is_org_admin field in the User model to the org_admin field in the Organization model in Django?
I'm trying to create some models in Django. I currently have the following: User and Organization. One of the fields in the User model is "is_org_admin", which is a boolean. How should I link this field to the "org_admin" field in the Organization model? Here's the simplified code: class Organization(models.Model): id = ... org_admin = models.OneToOneField("users.User"... class User(AbstractUser): id = ... is_org_admin = models.BooleanField(default=False) organization = models.ForeignKey("organizations.Organization", on_delete=models.CASCADE, null=True) -
Getting actual name of file after upload Django
I got a problem with retrieving the current name of the file. At the moment when I'm uploading file to my model with suffix. class DataUpload(models.Model): file_uploaded_path = models.FileField(upload_to="csv/%Y/%m/%d/") The problem with that is that I can't retrive file name with suffix. When i use >> DataUpload.file_uploaded_path.path I get only only path to the media root folder project/media/file.txt I've tried also .name or .url, still it's not it. I think I checked everywhere and I'm really out of ideas. -

django channels - delayed messaging does not work
I am trying to imitate a time consuming django response, by delaying group message in Django channels, but it does not work. The consumer is very simple: class ExportConsumer(JsonWebsocketConsumer): ... def delayed_message(self, event): print("In delayed") time.sleep(5) self.send(text_data=json.dumps({ 'message': 'delayed!' })) def immediate_message(self, event): print("In Immediate") self.send(text_data=json.dumps({ 'message': 'immediate_message!' })) and in views I just send to a group two messages - for delayed and immediate processing: class DecisionListView(PaginatedListView): ... def get(self, *args, **kwargs): async_to_sync(get_channel_layer().group_send)( '5e001793-18be-4a4b-8caf-c4a8144a11d2', { 'type': 'immediate_message', 'message': 'message' } ) async_to_sync(get_channel_layer().group_send)( '5e001793-18be-4a4b-8caf-c4a8144a11d2', { 'type': 'delayed_message', 'message': 'message' } ) return super().get(*args, **kwargs) The 'immediate message' is delivered. And I get In delayed on terminal (which means that it reaches the delayed_message but the message is never delivered (unless I comment out time.sleep. What am I doing wrong? -

django database router not writing to database
I have configured the below database router but once I run it the output indicated success but the tables do not appear in the database.

Django - How to fix model with id field
I unintentionally created a model with a field "id" and did the migration. The model at first looked like this: class VsSession(models.Model): id = models.TextField(default="123"), state = models.CharField(choices=VSSESSION_CHOICES, default='dead', max_length=10) Afterwards I rename the field to vs_session: class VsSession(models.Model): vs_session = models.TextField(default="123"), state = models.CharField(choices=VSSESSION_CHOICES, default='dead', max_length=10) Now whenever I try to use the model e.g., like this: def get(self, request): try: sessionid = uuid.uuid4() new_session = VsSession(vs_session=sessionid, state="active") new_session.save() return Response({'success': 'true', 'vssession': sessionid}) except Exception as e: print(str(e)) return Response({'success': 'false'}) I get this error: VsSession() got an unexpected keyword argument 'vs_session' Can anybody please tell me what I did wrong and how to fix this.

Populating a dropdown with a django variable after AJAX call
I have a dropdown that triggers an AJAX call when a new value is selected. The AJAX script calls my Django view, which returns a variable (a list of values). It seems to work until the step where I need to fill a second dropdown with the values from that list. I couldn't figure out how to do this. Here is my html code: <form class="wrapper" action="" method="post"> {% csrf_token %} <select name="myVal" class="toChange"> <option val="1">1</option> <option val="2">2</option> </select> <select id="dep" name="dep"> </select> <script type="text/javascript"> function dropdownChange () { var selectedValue = $(".toChange option:selected").val(); $.ajax({ url: '/myApp/templates/3/', type: 'POST', data: {'myVal': selectedValue}, success: function(result) { alert(result); } }); } $(".toChange").change(dropdownChange); </script> </form> And here is my views.py file: @csrf_exempt def MyView3(request): if request.method == 'POST' and request.is_ajax: myVariable = json.dumps(["1", "2", "3", "4", "a"]) return HttpResponse(myVariable , content_type='application/json') else: return render(request,'home3.html') When I select a new value in my dropdown, it triggers the AJAX call and the alert(result) line returns "1,2,3,4,a".

Submit Button and Preview Button In Same View (Django)
Here's my situation. I have one view which displays a form for the user to fill out. The html contains two buttons, one for 'Submit' and one for 'Preview'. My intention is that the 'Submit' option would truly save and commit the form, whereas the 'Preview' option would launch a PDF preview of whatever data has currently been entered into the form. I am able to make each work one at a time (i.e. submit function works and preview doesn't or preview function works and submit doesn't). Also I want 'Submit' to work only if the form is valid, but preview could work even if it is not. How can I have two buttons in the same view execute different logic? Maybe I need to change one of my <button> to an <a> and launch another view? Here's my code: Views.py (not behaving the way I way would like) def PackingListView(request): if request.method == "POST": form = PackingListForm(request.POST) if form.is_valid(): request.session['data'] = form.cleaned_data #passing data to view which generates pdf form.save() return redirect('myview') else: form = PackingListForm() return render(request, 'packlist.html', {'form': form}) class myview(View): def get(self, request, *args, **kwargs): data = request.session.pop('data', {}) pdf = render_to_pdf('packlist_preview.html', data) return HttpResponse(pdf, content_type='application/pdf') …
