POST method not allowed in custom viewsets
if I am going to add products to cart I get error. POST method not allowed views.py class CartViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet): queryset = Cart.objects.all() serializer_class = CartSerializer @action(methods=['post', 'put'], detail=False) def add_to_cart(self, request, pk=None): cart = self.get_object() try: cart.user = self.request.user product = Product.objects.get(pk=request.data['product']) quantity = int(request.data['quantity']) except Exception as e: print(e) return Response({'status': 'fail'}) if product.inventory <= 0 or product.inventory - quantity < 0: print('There is no inventory in store') return Response({'status': 'fail'}) existing_cart_item = CartItem.objects.filter(cart=cart, product=product).first() if existing_cart_item: existing_cart_item.quantity += quantity existing_cart_item.save() else: new_cart_item = CartItem(cart=cart, product=product, quantity=quantity) new_cart_item.save() serializer = CartSerializer(cart) return Response(serializer.data, status=status.HTTP_201_CREATED) It works when i give the url like that carts/1/add_to_cart here I am giving my cart id but in my case it is wrong because when user is created cart is also created that's why user and cart ids are same. I do not nedd to give cart id in the url because I am putting token in Authorization section in Postman, from that it should detect which user is sending post request. It is shown above that I added cart.user=self.request.user with it still it is not working. How can I solve this issue? Any help would be appreciated) -
Django - force user password reset/expiration
I'm stuck at this issue now for a good few hours. I've implemented all the standard password change, reset, etc functionalities which are built in with django.contrib.auth.forms. The task I want to accomplish is to force users to regularly change their passwords. Which leads to the following issues: If I redirect them to the reset workflow it will change the password and I have not found a way to update my password_changed timestamp in my custom user model since the functionality is built into django. I could redirect them to the password change view (which also uses a builtin form), unfortunately if the user is not logged in (which would be counter productive in this case) the user attribute in the request is "None" Maybe I'm thinking too complicated, can someone give me a hint whats the easiest way to implement this?? -

How to implement protected file download with requests and authentication in django
I have a django app where I can upload files. I show my files in an API. Like so: class FileCollection(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=120, null=True, blank=True) store_file = models.FileField(upload_to=upload_file, null=True, blank=True) creation_date = models.DateTimeField(null=True, blank=True) class FileDownloadAPIListView(ListAPIView): """Lists all files. """ queryset = FileCollection.objects.all() serializer_class = FileCollectionSerializer Later I will implement different queries to get specific files. I'd like to download these files from a script using python without the need to open up a browser or anything like that. I want to make an authenticated API call with requests that gets my file and then saves it to the local computer. The problem is that my files need to be private and only authenticated users should be able to download it. For my other APIs I am using JWT token authentication. My question now is: How do I implement this? Do I a) Save my files in S3 and make an API call to that URL somehow authenticating me with my AWS credentials? b) Save my files somewhere in my PostgrSQL database and get everything from there with an authenticated API call using JWT. c) third option I didn't consider Also if I use a, b or c how … -

What are the skills and steps required to do an interactive info chart like this?
As a beginner in python and with an interest in data visualisation, I am intrigued by this https://opportunityatlas.org It inspires me to use it as a guide to break down what to learn and skills to acquire to learn to do something similar. I wonder is the map done using matplotlib? or is it HTML/CSS? Is it Django or Flask for the interactive web interface? My knowledge at the moment is too limited to know what's out there or any terms to search on. If anyone knows what are the steps and skills to acquire for developing an application like this, can you share a general guideline? Or is there any tutorial out there? Thanks. -

alternative to wkhtmltopdf to render pdf with javascript charts and bootstrap classes
I have a web application and I use the tool wkhtmltopdf to perform pdf exports. I am using wkhtmltopdf version 0.12.4 with unpatched QT (minimal version). I want to add a footer to the pdf pages and I saw that the wkhtmltopdf version with patched QT support this operation with the flag --footer-html. Unfortunately I noticed that the css and js engine under this version create some problem in rendering my html pages: First of all there are problem with the grid system in Bootstrap v > 4.1 Then also the javascript chart in my page are no more rendered in the pdf with this version of wkhtmltopdf So, is there an alternative to wkhtmltopdf that allow me to export to pdf my web pages ? My project is written in django / javascript so I would prefer a python of javascript tool. I also tried pdfkit but I discart it because I saw it is based on wkhtmltopdf , and django-weasyprint but I discarted because it does not support javascript (so my charts are not rendered). Finally the tool should allow me to connect to the web page passing cookies or similar, because login is required to access the … -

Djnago channels security
I'm studying django channels and there's this problem: let's say I have a routing channel: websocket_urlpatterns = [ re_path(r'^ws/chat/(?P<id>[^/]+)/$', ChatConsumer), ] It turns out that anyone who knows the channel number can listen to messages that go to this address. Maybe you can send data (for example, a token) sometime during the socket connection? Thank you. -
Best way to save data to a Django project from serverless functions
I'm currently trying to migrate some of the regular periodic tasks we have running from our main app server (Django) to serverless functions. More or less all these tasks work the same way: Query some data from the Postgres DB (Using the Django ORM) Manipulate the data Save the data (Also using the Django ORM) What would be the best way to replicate saving the data, I've got a few options I've thought about: Bundle the Django project with the serverless function and just use the Django ORM Direct connection to the Postgres DB Perhaps create a POST API endpoint on the main server that can be used to send the data from the function to the main app server? Would love to know what everyone thinks or other ideas you think are better? -

Unauthorized response to POST request in Django Rest Framework with JWT Token
I am building a REST API with Django Rest Framework. I currently have an issue where some of my endpoints return HTTP 401 Unauthorized, whereas the vast majority of my endpoints return correct responses. For authentication I am using JWT tokens with djangorestframework-simplejwt. I've configured Django to use token auth with djangorestframework-simplejwt. # rest framework config settings REST_FRAMEWORK = { 'DEFAULT_PERMISSION_CLASSES': [ 'rest_framework.permissions.IsAuthenticated', # 'rest_framework.permissions.AllowAny', ], 'DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES': [ 'rest_framework.authentication.SessionAuthentication', 'rest_framework.authentication.TokenAuthentication', 'rest_framework_simplejwt.authentication.JWTAuthentication', ], The vast majority of my endpoints return valid data when I pass a valid access token in the request. If I do not send a valid token, I receive a HTTP 403. On the other hand, I have some custom API views which return a HTTP 401 regardless of whether I pass a valid token or not. I have included the code to one of my problematic views below. class CheckDifferentialView(generics.GenericAPIView): permission_classes = [IsAuthenticated] authentication_classes = [TokenAuthentication] serializer_class = QuizDifferentialSerializer def post(self, request, *args, **kwargs): """ A function to check a quiz question and to update a user's record of questions answered """ print(request.META) if 'answer' not in request.data: return JsonResponse({'Error': 'answer not found in request'}, status=status.HTTP_400_BAD_REQUEST) answer = get_object_or_404(Differential, pk=request.data['answer']) serializer = QuizDifferentialSerializer(answer) if answer.is_correct: pass # … -

How to obtain cleaned_data from a FormSetView (django-extra-views)
I cannot see how to trigger and obtain the cleaned_data from my FormSetView. With a django formset, I would call is_valid() on the formset within a POST'ed response, but not sure how to do that here. Examples in documentation do not show this, afaics. I've implemented exactly as per the example in django-extra-views documentation. I already have a ModelFormSetView working fine although the DB update is automatic in that case. However, in this case of non-model implementation the cleaned data necessarily needs to be massaged into a different format for DB storage. My view (called from the url entry): class TemplateFSView(FormSetView): template_name = 'template_season.html' form_class = TemplateForm success_url = 'tee/home/' def get_initial(self): # initial data is a pre-load test for now... return [{'commence': '07:30', 'finish': '22:00', "spacing": "10"] def formset_valid(self, formset): # do whatever you'd like to do with the valid formset print('How do I get here?') return super(TemplateFSView, self).formset_valid(formset) Form: class TemplateForm(forms.Form): commence = forms.CharField(required=True, label='first tee-time') finish = forms.CharField(required=True, label='last tee-time') spacing = forms.CharField(required=True, label='tee spacing') Template: <form method="post"> {% csrf_token %} <table> {% for form in formset %} {% if forloop.counter == 1 %} <thead> <tr> <th scope="col">{{ form.commence.label_tag }}</th> <th scope="col">{{ form.finish.label_tag }}</th> <th scope="col">{{ form.spacing.label_tag … -

React-admin turning off reliance on X-Total-Count
I expected React-admin to work out the box with Django Rest Framework, like its website implied but my experience is that it doesn't. It has been a time consuming task trying to set custom headers to fit react-admins requirement for X-Total-Count header for every response. Django Rest Framework prefers to put the count in to the json response it seems. Does anyone know how to read this information from the json instead? It seems logical to me to set an option in react admin instead of rewriting the middleware with Django or other rest frameworks. -
Debugging git packages given in requirement.txt file for application hosted on Cloud Foundry
I am hosting a Django application on Cloud Foundry. In requirement.txt file, I am adding my git code (as a package).
