users.models.Profile.user.RelatedObjectDoesNotExist: Profile has no user
I am designing a website to take in and store a users information under a profile. The main issue I am running into seems to be between the profile and user relationship.

filtering Django models by JSONField's date attribute when less that or greater then criteria
I have run into a situation where I have a JSONField as one of my model fields (running Postgres as DB). Json stored in DB looks something like this: {"date": "2020-06-06", "reason": "test reason"} I would like to write a filter which would get me all rows where date is less than today. I'm using Q object to setup my filter, but read somewhere that such lte and gte queries aren't supported yet. ex: query = Q(my_json_field__date__lt=today) &= Q(another_field=some_value) MyModel.objects.filter(query) Is there anyway to get around that limitation and may be combine raw sql with the other Q objects? There are several more Q objects in that query, so I don't want to drop to a complete SQL just yet if possible -

How to use Customize Model extends from User Model in Django?
I'm new to Django and I have a problem that makes me quite confused. I have a page when users click to change profile, the corresponding page shows up and lets users update their profile.

choice: flask, django api render to user search
I'm totally new to Django and working on a project to query data from a MongoDB usually my project is meant for the data, but in order to give it a sense and let the user see how is it, I'm required to create an API to fetch data based on queries sent by the user. My questions are: is there any preexisted views in rest_framework that can satisfy my needs(All I want is let the user search the data, based on fields that he can enter) Or should I use react as a frontend to send queries? Another Q, would it be easy, how is this task on flask can it be done so quickly? Please, if something is not clear, just ask? -
django model form modelform multipart
I'm newbie to web development. started with Django since I already do Python for AI. I'm trying to use multipart to model. but it appears doesn't support. /models.py from django.db import models from django.forms import ModelForm class ImageData(models.Model): lot_number = models.CharField(max_length=100) images = models.FileField(widget=ClearableFileInput(attrs={'multiple': True})) class ImageDataForm(ModelForm): class Meta: model = ImageData fields = ('lot_number', 'images') It seems I need to use 'forms' https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.0/topics/http/file-uploads/ than... do I need to write same code for forms? like /forms.py from django import forms class ImageData(forms.Form): lot_number = forms.CharField(max_length=100) images = models.FileField(widget=ClearableFileInput(attrs={'multiple': True})) guess must be a way to handle model and form in one code but could find it. -
Why is max_length being ignored in BinaryField?
I am attempting to create an invite system to register users, which stores a md5 hashsum based on the object's ID. Here's how my model is defined: class Invite(TimestampedModel): user = models.ForeignKey(User, default=None, null=True, blank=True, on_delete=models.CASCADE) _code = models.BinaryField(max_length=16, unique=True) @classmethod def create(cls): invite = cls.objects.create() hash_obj = hashlib.md5() hash_obj.update(str(invite.id).encode('utf-8')) invite._code = hash_obj.digest() invite.save() return invite Thus when I call Invite.create(), I see a row in the database that has a _code that is 16 characters long (e.g. ��#�"��Zo�n�%��V). The problem arises, however, when I adjust max_length to 2. I expected Django to either throw an error or truncate the value to two bytes, but it did neither; I am still seeing 16 bytes in new rows. Yes, I ran makemigrations and migrate. What is going on here? This is a bit concerning that I can't limit the length at all. I assume it's defaulting to 50 but I have no idea why. Any thoughts are appreciated. BinaryField description here. -
How do I properly configure my app to use the Django phonenumber field module?

Django, Ajax and GET requests
There are plenty of similar questions here but I can't solve that problem I have. Situation is simple in theory - I send json to Django view, I get a json response. I did it with python, with Django, with REST framework. But with Ajax I can't do it, there's something with URLconf and ajax's relative url kind of stuff and I can't figure out what's wrong and how to make it work. I mean with some URL confs I can send a request with my chrome plugin and I have a response I need, but ajax is getting 404 with that confs. If I change it Django starts to return my html page instead of json response. What am I missing here? My ajax request: $.ajax({ url: 'ajax/apply_city/', type: 'GET', data: { 'city': obj.textContent }, dataType: 'json', success: function(data) { var str = ''; data.districts.forEach(function (district) { str += '<a class="dropdown-item" href="#" onclick="applyDistrict(this)">' + district + '</a>'; }); window.alert(str); document.getElementById("district_dropdown").innerHTML = str; }, }); urls that works with requests from everything but not ajax: re_path('^index/$', views.index, name='index'), re_path('^index/ajax/apply_city/', views.apply_city, name='apply_city'), Logs show Not Found: /index/... when ajax makes request and GET /index/... 404.

Django sending email with html and embedded image only showing images
I tried to send html rendered email with images. I tried two methods send_mail(subject='', message='', from_email='noreply@test.com', recipient_list=[email], fail_silently=True, html_message=render_to_string('mail_template.html', context)) and html file used cid on to shows image. when I checked mail, this shows html template but images or not loaded.

Django_Tables2 Not Loading Default Bootstrap Styles

Django Max DateTime Aggregation
What is the best way of getting the max datetime of related objects of related objects of a Django instance? I need this value as an instance property. For example, with these models, class Show(Model): is_live = BooleanField() ... class Season(Model): show = ForeignKeyField(Show, on_delete=CASCADE, related_name='seasons') is_live = BooleanField() ... class Episode(Model): season = ForeignKeyField(Season, on_delete=CASCADE, related_name='episodes') is_live = BooleanField() live_date = DateTimeField(blank=True, null=True) ... How could I get the most recent episode live_date of a show instance, including only episodes where the season is_live == True and the episode is_live == True? I have tried this in the Show model: @property def max_episode_live_date(self) return self.seasons.filter( is_live=True ).aggregate( max_=Max( 'episodes__live_date', filter=Q(episodes__is_live=True) ) ).get('max_') but I get this error AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'tzinfo' I've tried using Django SubQuery expressions, @property def max_episode_live_date(self) episodes = Episode.objects.filter( is_live=True, season=OuterRef('pk') ).values('live_date') return self.seasons.filter( is_live=True ).aggregate( max_=Max(Subquery(episodes)) ).get('max_') but then I get django.db.utils.OperationalError: (1242, 'Subquery returns more than 1 row') I believe this is due to some episodes containing null live_date, but I'm not sure how to work around. Any insight would be appreciated. -

Django Deployment - the lack of access from outside of network (VPN / Proxy Issue)
I've developed a Django app for an organization that connection to their servers is only possible via VPNs. I tried to deploy it on the server (First I needed to connect to the VPN they provided to me), following digitalocean's instructions found here. I had deployed some other django projects using it and there was no problem. According to the instructions everything works and there is no error in up and running gunicorn + nginx. However, the connection to the websites could not be established (after about 20 secs, the browser throws timout error). I found that the problem is not about nginx + gunicorn config as the issue still appears when Django's development server is running. So I thought it is probably due to the VPN. I mean the website could not be accessed because the server is not accessible from the outside world. I would be grateful if you could provide a solution to this, or express your experiences. -

Django - working with a 3rd party API along with pagination
Currently trying to learn Django. As a side project, I am trying to build a site that utilizes a 3rd party API. The user does a search, and my site displays photos based on that search once the search parameters are passed onto the 3rd party API and a response is received. The photos are displayed in a paginated manner. The API itself gives me a result in the form of: { page: 1 pages: 60000 photos: [...] //could contain anywhere from 10-100 items. Each item is a dict containing id, photo URL, as well other info } At the moment I have it set so that with each 'previous' or 'next' page, a new request is made to the API, after which the response could look like: { page: 2 pages: 60000 photos: [...] } Of course, this isn't really ideal as it involves constantly making calls to the API. My question is: would it be bad practice to convert these items into django models and store them in my database? Considering the number of items that would have to be stored. However, the advantage of having them in makes it easier to do things like 'liking' the photo, … -

I am trying to understand get_user_model() and setting.AUTH_USER_MODEL. my directory looks like below: | simplesocial | accounts | | models.py | | views.py | | forms.py | | simplesocial |settings.py # models.py from django.db import models from django.contrib import auth from simplesocial import settings # Create your models here. class User(auth.models.User, auth.models.PermissionsMixin): def __str__(self): return '@{}'.format(self.username) #forms.py from django.forms import forms from django.contrib.auth.forms import get_user_model from django.contrib.auth.forms import UserCreationForm from simplesocial import settings class UserCreateForm(UserCreationForm): class Meta: model = settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL fields = ('username', 'email') def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs): super().__init__(*args, **kwargs) self.fields['username'].label = 'Display Name' self.fields['email'].label = 'Email Address' #settings.py AUTH_USER_MODEL = 'accounts.User' I am getting below error ERRORS: accounts.User.user_ptr: (fields.E301) Field defines a relation with the model 'auth.User', which has been swapped out. HINT: Update the relation to point at 'settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL'. Since I have a custom user model to be used. What am I doing wrong. If I replace settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL with get_user_model() will it use my custom User class? I could not understand how get_user_model() works
