django rest framework add write only field for unit conversion
I am trying to write an API allowing users to read a length in km but write it in miles. The model stores the information in kilometers. The idea is to achieve something like this: class AreaSizeSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer): class Meta: model = AreaSize fields = ['width', 'height'] # This function should perform the unit conversion def write_width(self, miles): self.width = miles * 1.609344 ... So when the user performs a POST request containing the size in miles it gets converted to kilometers and stored in the database. Could somebody please explain how to do this? -
TypeError: Field 'id' expected a number but got DeferredAttribute object at 0x000002B6ADE878D0
I am using a queryset in Django- whenever I run the server, it gives an error. TypeError: Field 'id' expected a number but got <django.db.models.query_utils.DeferredAttribute object at 0x000002B6ADE878D0 It is something about the queryset of my form that causes the error.

Django - Showing A Form & It's Existing Model Data On The Same Page
Hi all, I was wondering if it would be possible to show the data in my already existing model at the same time as using a form on the same template. (I'm trying to make a chat / blog system.) My problem is that I need to reference a local variable before the user posts a new message using the form and Django is giving me the "local variable 'rsgroupchat' referenced before assignment" error. Any help would be highly appreciated as otherwise I will have to make a separate view and template to do this (of which is not exactly suitable). Below is the view I am working with: @login_required def groupView(request): serverdata = server.objects.all() chatmessage = rsgroupchat.objects.all().order_by('-dateandtime') if request.method == 'POST': form = newchatmessage(request.POST) if form.is_valid(): forserver = form.cleaned_data.get('forserver') content = form.cleaned_data.get('content') rsgroupchat = form.save(commit=False) rsgroupchat.user = request.user rsgroupchat.save() return redirect('../rsgroups') else: form = newchatmessage() return render(request,'rs-groups-dash.html', {'form':form, 'serverdata':serverdata, 'chatmessage':chatmessage}) And here is my form / chat message: class newchatmessage(forms.ModelForm): class Meta: model = rsgroupchat exclude = ['user'] fields = ('forserver', 'content', 'user',) -

How do I create different outputs from the same model form in django template?

Adding Custom Action to Django Rest Framework user/me endpoint
this is my first time asking something here. Please, bare in mind that in case I'm missing something. If so, I will do my best to provide the answer to whatever is needed. Alright, so, I'm starting with Django Rest Framework and I've been following a course but there is something that is not entirely clear for me. I'm trying to add a custom function to a /user/me endpoint. In this function, I'd like to provide the user id [self.user.id] and trigger a function to, i.e., deploy AWS infra. The issue is not with the code for AWS infra, but with triggering this by accessing a custom url.

Not able to update models ManyToMany relationship django. getting an error saying the models field has not been defined
i'm just confused or tired on this one. when this code runs it doesn't always remove or add, and when it does it will not update the like count. As i see the code, when the user is found in the liked value it should remove the user and decrease the likes and visa versa, it does not seem to do that. I also only seem to be able to have 1 like across all pictures, so i would have to remove one like and add to another, again this seems to all happen randomly. def liked_pic(request): pdb.set_trace() if request.method == 'POST': pic = Pictures.objects.get(id=request.POST.get('pic_id')) user = UserModel.objects.get(email=request.user) liked = Pictures.objects.filter(likes=user).exists() print(pic.likes, liked) if liked: pdb.set_trace() pic.likes.remove(user) pdb.set_trace() pic.save() if not liked: pdb.set_trace() pic.likes.add(user) pic.save() picturecount = Pictures.objects.filter(likes).count() data = {'json_pic_id': pic.id,'likes': picturecount, 'user':liked} return JsonResponse(data) return HttpResponseRedirect('home') pdb trace----------------- System check identified no issues (0 silenced).

Determine if redirect will produce a 404 status code in view prior to redirecting
I have a system in which the majority of functionality is dependent upon a session cookie being set by the user. Naturally with this, I allow easy changing of this session (a Property) so the user can view new information seamlessly as they are going throughout the application. For example, a user is viewing Units in the system, when they select a new Property the Units for the newly selected Property are shown. Simple enough. However, there is an instance where a user is viewing a Unit and they change a Property. Obviously the Unit they are viewing is no longer found so the page 404's. What I want is to know that the redirect will 404 so I can redirect them to the homepage instead. How can I do this? Every way I can think to check (i.e. resolve or HttpRespsonse) does not show an error. from urllib.parse import urlparse import requests from django.contrib import messages from django.http import HttpResponse from django.shortcuts import redirect, get_object_or_404 from django.urls import reverse, resolve, Resolver404 from apps.properties.models import Property def set_property_session(request, property_id): redirect_url = request.META.get('HTTP_REFERER') # to check if it resolves, we must gather the path from the url path_to_check = urlparse(redirect_url).path try: … -
Getting a 'settings.DATABASES is improperly configured. Please supply the NAME value' error
I am using Django to connect to an on-premise database. Earlier, the database was hosted on Azure. The connection string I used within Django settings earlier was as follows- for sql database of Azure DATABASES = { 'default': { 'ENGINE': 'sql_server.pyodbc', 'NAME': 'DatabaseName', #notrealname 'USER': 'username', 'PASSWORD': 'password', 'HOST': 'sql-django-uat.database.windows.net', #notreal 'PORT': '1433', 'OPTIONS': { 'driver': 'ODBC Driver 13 for SQL Server', 'MARS_Connection': 'True', } After the database migration, this string doesnt work. I keep getting 'Login timeout expired'. But substituting 'NAME' with "DATABASE' works. Example given below- DATABASES = { 'default': { 'ENGINE': 'sql_server.pyodbc', 'DATABASE': 'DatabaseName', #notrealname 'USER': 'username', 'PASSWORD': 'password', 'HOST': 'sql-django-uat.database.windows.net', 'PORT': '1433', 'OPTIONS': { 'driver': 'ODBC Driver 13 for SQL Server', 'MARS_Connection': 'True', } My webapp gets to the login page.

CSRF token not set in Django with Python Request
I'm trying to send a POST request to a Django view from an ordinary Python script using Python-Request. The django view is not @login_required, so the only thing i need to send, other than my JSON data, is a CSRF token, here is what i tried: token = session.get('http://127.0.0.1:8000/myview/view') data = json.dumps({'test': 'value'}) session.post('http://127.0.0.1:8000/myview/myview', data={ 'csrfmiddlewaretoken': token, 'data': data}) The django view should just receive the Request and print it to my console: def myview(request): if request.method == 'POST': data = request.POST.get('data') print(json.loads(data)) print('received.') response = HttpResponse(get_token(request)) return response The problem with my current code is that my console will throw a log: WARNING - Forbidden (CSRF token missing or incorrect.). I cannot use @csrf_exempt, since i need this to be as safe as possible. Any advice? Thanks in advance!
