TailwindCSS grid-columns don't apply in Django Template
I'm using TailwindCSS in a Django template. I want to display all elements of a form in 3 columns, but somehow they all get displayed within one column. When I change to 2 columns, it works, but in all other n-columns (3, 4, 5, 6 ...) it doesn't. Anybody knows what the issue is here? Here's the template: <form method="get"> <div class="grid grid-cols-3 md:grid-cols-3 sm:grid-cols-3 lg:grid-cols-3 xl:grid-cols-3 2xl:grid-cols-3"> {% for elem in filter.form %} <div class="">123</div> {% endfor %} </div> <button type="submit">Go!</button> </form> -
Unable to create Google Meet Link in python with django

How to get a react page in my django backend to send it in mail
I have a backend server using Django framework and frontend using React.js I have a page that shows some statistics and wish to export this page in my backend so that I can send it in mail for recipients every interval (15 minutes, 30 minutes..). The page changes every minute so that I can't upload the page as pdf once in backend and use it later. I found that I can use headless browser to make a request to frontend to get the page but I have concerns about this appoach.. Or how heavy it is to add a headless browser in my backend server. And I don't want to recreate the page again in Django using templates because I won't be able to copy the design and also it is extra development time and duplicated code. I can see that those who use server side rendering can acheive this task easily while the page is renedered in backend.. that means they can use the page to send it in mail as pdf or to send it as a response to clients. I expect to have a good performance and wish to have some overview if this task already exist … -
How to get values with a different "path" in the database?
I want to get values from a table (the end goal is to create a dataframe out of a queryset). Those values depend on a form submitted by a user. Here is a simplified snippet of my models: class Report_Sample(models.Model): assay = models.CharField(max_length=50) samtools_data = models.ForeignKey( "Samtools_data", on_delete=models.DO_NOTHING, blank=True, null=True ) picard = models.ForeignKey( "Picard", on_delete=models.DO_NOTHING, blank=True, null=True class Samtools_data(models.Model): total_passed = models.IntegerField(null=True) total_failed = models.IntegerField(null=True) class Picard(models.Model): sample = models.CharField(max_length=10) library = models.CharField(max_length=10) read_group = models.CharField(max_length=10) picard_hs_metrics = models.ForeignKey( "Picard_hs_metrics", on_delete=models.DO_NOTHING, blank=True, null=True ) class Picard_hs_metrics(models.Model): bait_set = models.CharField(max_length=10) bait_territory = models.FloatField() Using the form, the user can select a subset of Report_sample objects and a metric to look at. So let's say the user wants the Samtools total_passed field. I can do: subset_report_samples = Report_sample.objects.filter(whatever_filter_the_user_wanted) metric_filter = None for model in apps.get_models(): for field in model._meta.get_fields(): if field.name == metric: metric_filter = f"{model.__name__.lower()}__{metric}" break subset_report_samples.objects.values(metric_filter) If we want to access the Picard_hs_metrics table however this breaks because of the intermediary table Picard. I thought about using a try/except block using from django.core.exceptions import FieldError but it feels horrible to use. So i was wondering if there was a Django method to find that metric_filter string given the field … -
How to create models for quiz application in django?
I'm working on a quiz app in django. I don't really know how to create the models for that. Basically, I need a quiz in sometimes questions are 'multiple choice', but sometimes they are 'short answer'. models.py class Quiz(models.Model): question = models.CharField(max_length=200) opt1 = models.CharField(max_length=100, null=True) opt2 = models.CharField(max_length=100, null=True) opt3 = models.CharField(max_length=100, null=True) opt4 = models.CharField(max_length=100, null=True) short_answer = models.CharField(max_length=100, null=True) def __str__(self): return self.question This is what I've already done. I don't know how will I understand if the current question is short answer or multiple choice. I think that if the short_answer field is empty, I can render the multiple choice. If it's not empty, I render short answer. Is it correct to do so? -
How to properly type client.post response in django test?

nowait or another method in Django admin page
I'm using Django and trying to find something similar to nowait=True in Django admin page. I have some script which locks entries(select for update) during working. So, when I try to change some fields values in Django admin page for that entry when its locked, admin page waits for unlocking that entry(in my case it could take minutes). I want to raise error(something like "database entry is locked") in admin page without waiting for unlocking. -
Django request.session.get() returns None across different view classes
I am working on a Django project and I'm encountering an issue with session variables. I set a session variable in one view, but when I try to access it in another view, it returns None. Here's a simplified version of my code: In my LoginVerification view: from rest_framework.views import APIView from rest_framework.response import Response class LoginVerification(APIView): def post(request): # ... login logic ... # If login is successful, I store the AWS access key in the session request.session['aws_access_key'] = 'your-access-key' return Response({"message": "Login successful"}) In my BucketSize view: from rest_framework.views import APIView from rest_framework.response import Response class BucketSize(APIView): def get(self, request): # Here, I try to retrieve the AWS access key from the session aws_access_key = request.session.get('aws_access_key') if aws_access_key is None: return Response({'status': 'error', 'error': 'No AWS access key found in session.'}) # ... remaining logic ... return Response({'status': 'success', 'bucketsize': bucketsize, 'unit': unit}) In the BucketSize view, request.session.get('aws_access_key') is always returning None, even though I have set it in the LoginVerification view. I have checked the following: The session variable is being set: The code in the LoginVerification view is running without errors. The session has not expired: I'm testing the BucketSize view immediately after the LoginVerification view. … -

Template variable for email in Django allauth socialaccount signup
What template variable does the email field in the form in socialaccount /signup.html in Django allauth use? In the allauth/templates/socialaccount/signup.html there is this form: <form class="signup" id="signup_form" method="post" action="{% url 'socialaccount_signup' %}"> {% csrf_token %} {{ form.as_p }} {% if redirect_field_value %} <input type="hidden" name="{{ redirect_field_name }}" value="{{ redirect_field_value }}" /> {% endif %} <button type="submit">{% trans "Sign Up" %} &raquo;</button> </form> To style the fields and delete labels I want to drop the form and use my own input fields. I can extract the tags inspecting the from in the browser but the value= from the email input field is already populated with my email address and I can't see the variable it uses.

I have tried from value="{{ email }}" to value="{{ socialaccount.get_social_account().user.get_email() }}" everything. -

Uploading BLOB from ts through django API to DB
I'm trying to upload some logData but in my database the informationfield is always empty, everything else gets uploaded correctly. I've tried two differnt ways, neither of them seem to work. I uploaded everything packed in a formdata with the logData as blob/string/... nothing worked The other way was creating an Object based on an interface and adding all the information (here aswell i tried string and blob) both didn't work, the field on the Database is always empty. I'm curios if i did something wrong cause the data should be in the database saved as log.csv with the hexstring in it i get the data as an UInt8Array ATM it looks like this: const test = new Blob([locAdjustmentBlob]) const formData = new FormData(); formData.append("log_user", locUser) formData.append("log_adjustment_blob", test) await store.state.apiHandler.postForm("/raw/logs/", formData) And in the the API: class Log(models.Model): log_id = models.AutoField(primary_key=True) log_user = models.CharField(max_length=50) log_adjustment_blob = models.BinaryField() If you need more information just ask Thanks! -

django admin styling is corrupted
I have just started learning Django and when I got to the admin page it appears to be corrupted, no style.

I found some suggestions on the internet but they seem to be a bit too advanced for me, I don't want to make things worse. Is there something not too advanced you could recommend? Thank you! -

Using getStaticProps and getServerSideProps to make authenticated requests to django api
I have a next js application for the frontend and a django REST framework api on the backend. I am using jwt token authentication for my backend using django Simple JWT. Most of my api views are protected by authorization bearer header required. When my user logs in and is authenticated, my django backend responds with an access and refresh token with http only cookies. As I build this app I have a question. If I am making some requests to my backend protected routes with getServerSideProps or getStaticProps which don't run on the client, then is it actually necessary to protect some of my backend routes? If getServerSideProps or getStaticProps dont run on the client, then I don't run the risk of anyone making requests to my backend, considering I have CORS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS in my django settings to only allow requests from my frontend. -

Django does not seem to work with DigitalOcean Spaces
I have followed multiple tutorials on how to use the DigitalOcean object storage known as DigitalOcean Spaces on my Django project but I'm not able to do it. Actually, I was using it before and it was working, after that I moved the static files to Contabo Object Storage, and apparently their CDN is pretty slow so when I decided to go back to DO, it does not work anymore, I even went to the commit where I had it working and copied the exact same code. Here is the code I have on my settings.py: from storages.backends.s3boto3 import S3Boto3Storage class MediaStorage(S3Boto3Storage): bucket_name = "XXXX" class StaticStorage(S3Boto3Storage): bucket_name = "XXXX" DEFAULT_FILE_STORAGE = "nafssi.settings.MediaStorage" STATICFILES_STORAGE = "nafssi.settings.StaticStorage" AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID = "XXXX" AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY = "XXX/XXXX/XXXXX" AWS_S3_ENDPOINT_URL = "https://XXXX.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com" AWS_S3_OBJECT_PARAMETERS = { "CacheControl": "max-age=86400", } MEDIA_URL = f"{AWS_S3_ENDPOINT_URL}/media/" STATIC_URL = f"{AWS_S3_ENDPOINT_URL}/static/" When I try python manage.py collectstatic I have the following error: You have requested to collect static files at the destination location as specified in your settings.

Django cannot cast type integer to smallint when attempting to filter a queryset
