get() takes from 2 to 3 positional arguments but 4 were given. Why is this error occuring? What is the solution for this?
I was working on a comment of a blog project. When I typed the code to handle the POST request in the views.py but was getting a error. This was the error 'get() takes from 2 to 3 positional arguments but 4 were given'. models.py class commenttable(models.Model): comment_id = models.AutoField(primary_key=True, default=0) blog = models.TextField() comment_name = models.CharField(max_length=200) comment_email = models.EmailField() comment_Text = models.TextField() comment_date = models.DateField() def __str__(self): return self.comment_Text views.py from .models import commenttable ... def post_comment(request, blog_id): if request.method == 'POST': data = request.POST.get("name", "email", "comment") # blog = get_object_or_404(Blog_tables, pk=blog_id) p = commenttable(blog= data.name, comment_name=data.email, comment_email= data.email, comment_Text= data.comment, comment_data = timezone.now()) p.save() return HttpResponseRedirect('/thanks/') else: return render(request, '/blogs/' + blog_id + '/comment', {'error_message': 'Error'}) This is the form : <form action="/blogs/{{blog_id}}/comment" method ="post"> {% csrf_token %} <input type="text" name="name" id="name" placeholder="Enter Your Name"/> <input type="text" name="email" id="email" placeholder="Enter Your Email"/> <input type="text" name="comments" id="comments" placeholder="Comments here"/> <input type="submit" value="Post"/> </form> I want to get the data from POST request and save it to the database. But writing this code gives me error 'get() takes from 2 to 3 positional arguments but 4 were given'. -

Django unit tests ask to delete MariaDB DB: (1007, "Can't create database 'test_x_django'; database exists")
I have django unit tests creating a MariaDB database for tests. I am accessing the database with a user and password in the settings file and keep getting this error: Type 'yes' if you would like to try deleting the test database 'test_x_django', or 'no' to cancel: Got an error creating the test database: (1007, "Can't create database 'test_x_django'; database exists") Which makes me type 'yes' every time that I run unit tests - specifically after stopping tests in the middle (not allowing django to delete the database?). I have tried a lot of solutions, including: trying to use the root user, giving django_user all permissions to 'test_x_django' db, giving django_user permissions to createdb. I have not found a solution online for MariaDB, in this case. The configuration in my settings.py file is: DATABASES = { 'default': { 'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql', 'NAME': 'x_django', 'USER': 'django_user', 'PASSWORD': 'xxxx', 'HOST': 127.0.0.1, 'PORT': '3306' } } Is there a solution to make django stop asking the question, and delete the Database automatically? -

Django model name with underscore?
I have subtly different entities that are important enough with respect to the relationships, flexibility, and expression of my schema that they warrant separate models. How should I name/ case these? a) Layerinput, Layerhidden, Layeroutput b) Layer_Input, Layer_Hidden, Layer_Output c) LayerInput, LayerHidden, LayerOutput Right now I am leaning option a so that Django doesn't do anything too automagically incorrect with them, but that won't look great in documentation and code. Will use them with either DRF or graphql. -

How to get all Posts from Communities that User has joined in Django REST
So I have a User model, Community model, Post model and UserJoinedCommunity model. What I want to do is get all Posts from Communities that User has joined so I can display them on home page. UserJoinedCommunity model that controlls which user has joined which community: class UserJoinedCommunity(models.Model): """DB Model for users joined communities""" user = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE) community = models.ForeignKey(Community, on_delete=models.CASCADE) class Meta: constraints = [ UniqueConstraint(fields=['user', 'community'], name="user-joined-community") ] def __str__(self): return f"{self.user.username}|{self.community.name}" Community and Post models are just simple models with fields like name, title etc. So now I would like to create a APIView or ViewSet that would return all posts from communities that user has joined. Something like this: class UserRelevantPosts(APIView): authentication_classes = (TokenAuthentication,) def get(self, request): user_relevant_posts = "?" return Response({'posts': user_relevant_posts}, status=200) Tell me if you need more code samples. -

Real-time Geolocation Tracking
I'm using the google maps javascript API to render a map. I'm using Python's Django v2 but the actual code for the API interaction and map creation is just Javascript. The client has have a fleet of trucks and I'd like to suggest a new feature: tracking the trucks' real-time location on the map. If each of the trucks had an tablet I imagine I could somehow get near-real-time geolocation information from that device. Question: Should I be trying to send geolocation info from the tablets to the server (if so how?) or should I be trying to GET/retrieve the geolocation from the tablets (if so how?)? Thinking of apps like Uber or Lyft what is the best practice/tried-and-true protocol to use with IOT & geolocation? -
Using PostgreSQL Arrayfield as ManyToMany -like lookup?
I have two models: class Authors(models.Model): name = models.CharField() class Books(models.Model): title = models.CharField() author_ids = ArrayField(Integerfield()) I would like to be able to look about the authors of the books by doing books.authors. Is there some way to do this? I can't seem to find a way to do this. This database is already prepopulated with the author_ids so reworking it to something else, like using an intermediary table, would be difficult. -

Inserting a Django URL into a custom email template
I'm trying to send a Django email in a custom template that I made for my site. However, I can't get the Django URL link to work properly. Without the template, I can get the link to work.
