Django search function that calls other views return ValueError
I created a view function to capture all search queries and then treat each depending on the type of search. In first step, I tried to pass all queries to another view function to see if this approach works: in main app urls.py from searchapp.views import search urlpatterns += [ path('search', search) ] in views.py for searchapp def search(request): if request.method == 'GET': return other_view_function(request, query=request.GET.get('q')) else: return HttpResponseNotFound('Search query is not provided.') However, I get value error no matter I include q in the call or not: The view searchapp.views.search didn't return an HttpResponse object. It returned None instead. It's probably an obvious syntax error that I can't see! -

Make Migrations on Django
I have a Django model which looks like this class RedUsers(BaseModel): user_email = models.EmailField(null=True, blank=True) user_name = models.CharField(max_length=30, null=True, blank=True) red_id = models.CharField(max_length=30, null=True, blank=True) active = models.BooleanField(default=False) def __str__(self): return self.user_email class Meta: verbose_name_plural = "Red Users" I want to add a new field activation_key = models.CharField(max_length=40, null=True, blank=True) I already have lots of data in this model and I can't drop the table, so I need to make migration manually.

Is django-cors-headers necessary when operating on a subdomain?
I plan to run Django as an API with django-rest-framework. This API will power a Vue.js web app hosted on a separate platform. If I configure the API to run on api.example.com and the web app to run on www.example.com, is django-cors-headers required for the API to process requests from the frontend? Also, how does this work with cookies? I'd prefer to authenticate via http-only cookies, with no localstorage of tokens. -
Issue with Django Admin and autocomplete (Select2) filter with reverse foreignkey
I am working on Django 2.2.10 and Python 3.5. I wanted to use feature that was introduced in Django 2, that is to use Select2 to filter lists from a different model that has reverse relation to the model I am listing, which is displayed as Inline in Django Admin. Let me explain. I have two models like this: models.py class Books(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=40) pages = models.PositiveSmallIntegerField(default=0) class Members(models.Model): member_name = models.CharField(max_length=40) member_years = models.PositiveSmallIntegerField(default=0) class BorrowedBooks(models.Model): book = models.ForeignKey(Books, on_delete=models.CASCADE) member = models.ForeignKey(Members, on_delete=models.CASCADE) date_borrowed = models.DateField() date_returned = models.DateField() admin.py class BorrowedBooksInline(admin.TabularInline) model = BorrowedBooks extra = 0 fields = ['book', 'member', 'date_borrowed', 'date_returned'] search_field = ['book'] class BooksAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin): model = Books list_display = ['name', 'pages'] class MembersAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin): model = Members inlines = [BorrowedBooksInline, ] list_display = ['member_name', 'member_years'] autocomplete_fields = ['borrowedbooksinline__book'] search_field = ['member_name', 'member_years'] I haven't copied everything because it would be too much. Basically, what I would like to do is to be able to filter members that borrowed book at certain point in time, but the two models are not linked directly but through third model. At this time everything runs perfectly, but no filter is shown. Any suggestions? -

Django Sqlite reducing disk operations
I am working on an embedded application. The device I am using is running a django webserver. Data is constantly being POSTed to resources on the Django server, at a rate of about 4Hz. My main concern is wear on the disk, after a couple years of operation this will become a problem. Does anyone know if it is possible to somehow reduce the amount django writes to the disk? Currently my solution is to look at the "high frequency" posts and modify them so that they are only written to the database after some time. Ideally I would like the entire application to never write to the database unless triggered. The database is SQlite. -

Ajax convert html to pdf
i have been using a package called xhtml2pdf. So far everything has been good and the package is really easy to use if i do not need the data to be defined by the user end. The problem arises when i give the users the ability to choose what will be rendered in the pdf. The user gets to choose from a table , by clicking onto the button associated with that object. I will then store that object ID in an array , which will then be sent via AJAX to my render view so that the appropriate query can be passed into the context. Sounds simple , and im sure there's a solution out there, just none that i know of ! Here is my javascript. To keep the code short , im not going to show the script that i use to prepare the array that im sending into the view. function ajaxsender(clicked_id){ var a = clicked_id $.ajax({ url : "{% url 'bom-ajax'%}", method : "POST", data : { 'csrfmiddlewaretoken' : "{{ csrf_token }}", 'arr[]' : arr , 'pk' : a }, success : function(result) { console.log(result); } })}; This is the view that im using to … -
