Django Single modelAdmin for multiple apps
My project has multiple apps. Users runs processess inside these apps. I want to record the starting time and the ending time for each process. I would like to display these information in a single view at django admin. Is it possible to build a modelAdmin with data from multiple apps? Should I use models to achieve this? Thanks in advance. -
Wrap a Django serializer in another serializer
I need a nested serializer in django. I have the following serializer that works: class LocationSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer): coordinate = serializers.SerializerMethodField() message = serializers.SerializerMethodField() def get_message(self, instance: models.Location): if len(instance.message) > 1: return instance.message return None def get_coordinate(self, instance: models.Location): if instance.point: return {"latitude": instance.point.y, "longitude": instance.point.x} class Meta: model = models.Location fields = ('id', 'street', 'zip', 'phone', 'coordinate', 'message') The json this serializer produces needs to be wrapped in a a json object like this: { "locations": //here comes the serialized data } I tried it the following way with another serializer that has the serializer above in a field: class LocationResponseSerializer(serializers.Serializer): locations = LocationSerializer(many=True) But when I trie to use this serializer I always get the following error: The serializer field might be named incorrectly and not match any attribute or key on the `Location` instance. Original exception text was: 'Location' object has no attribute 'locations'. What am I doing wrong? Just wrapping it in a response object works, but is not a solution because it looks like this is not supported by the swagger frameworks that work with Django. Thanks for the help! -

I want to load a template from the templates folder but I get an error that says the included URLconf does not appear to have any patterns in it
I am trying to load a template in my templates/pages folder and get the error: django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: The included URLconf '<module 'pages.urls' from 'D:\\django\\pages\\pages\\urls.py'>' does not appear to have any patterns in it. If you see valid patterns in the file then the issue is probably caused by a circular import. I have tried putting the templates folder in both the project and the app directory but still get the same error. In my settings.py I have: TEMPLATES = [ { 'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates', 'DIRS': [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'templates')], 'APP_DIRS': True, 'OPTIONS': { 'context_processors': [ 'django.template.context_processors.debug', 'django.template.context_processors.request', 'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth', 'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages', ], }, }, ] and: INSTALLED_APPS = [ 'django.contrib.admin', 'django.contrib.auth', 'django.contrib.contenttypes', 'django.contrib.sessions', 'django.contrib.messages', 'django.contrib.staticfiles', 'pages', ] my urls.py file in the root project folder named pages_project looks like: from django.contrib import admin from django.urls import path, include urlpatterns = [ path('admin/', admin.site.urls), path('', include('pages.urls')), ] and my urls.py in my app folder named pages looks like: from django.urls import path from . import views path('', views.HomePageView.as_view(), name='home') my views.py looks like: from django.shortcuts import render from django.views.generic import TemplateView class HomePageView(TemplateView): template_name= 'home.html' I have a template file named home.html in the path pages/templates/pages/home.html and looks like: <h1>Homepage</h1> -
It does not work when copying and creating image of a server running a live Django app in the new server
I have a live Django server running. It is running in one of the servers made from a virtual machine, with IP that ends with 13. From VMWare, I copied the image of server 13 and created a copy in a server with an IP that ends with 14 just to avoid the IP crash. As far as my understanding goes, because the whole image was copied, I should not be having any problems when I access the copied IP address but even after restarting the apache2, it is giving me the internal server error. According to log, it says django.db.utils.OperationalError: (2003, "Can't connect to MySQL server on '34.xxx.xx.xxx' (101)") Because all our servers, once it leaves the firewall, uses one IP address, connection to AWS RDS should not be a problem as it the Django app in server 13 is working flawlessly. What could be the problem? Thank you! -

Mock out a model field validator in Django

Hashing an element received in a FileField in django
My objective is to make a custom create function that can make a hash in the sha256 format, but I keep running into problems with it in the different methods I try. Currently, if I run my application, it says the following: AttributeError at /sped_create/ FieldFile object has no attribute 'encode'. I vaguely understand what's causing the issue here. But I don't know how to fix it. Even after researching some different methods, I found nothing that'd suit my needs. Here's the code I have: models.py def hash_generator(file_bearer): integrity_hash = hashlib.sha256(file_bearer.encode('utf-8')).hexdigest() return integrity_hash class Sped (models.Model): json_file = models.FileField(upload_to='json_sped') # sped_file = models.FileField() integrity_hash = models.CharField(max_length=256, blank=True, null=True) # line_counter = models.CharField(max_length= 15000000) created_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True) def save(self, *args, **kwargs): file_bearer = self.json_file self.integrity_hash = hash_generator(file_bearer) super(Sped, self).save(*args, **kwargs) (Indentation is correct, but for some reason the code snippet is turning out like this here) views.py def sped_create(request): if request.method == 'POST': form = SpedForm(request.POST, request.FILES) if form.is_valid(): form.save() return redirect(sped_list) else: form = SpedForm(request.POST, request.FILES, None) return render(request, 'sped_form.html', {'form': form}) forms.py class SpedForm(ModelForm): class Meta: model = Sped fields = ['json_file'] def get_context_data(self, **kwargs): context = super().get_context_data(**kwargs) sped = Sped.objects.all() context['sped'] = sped return context -
Django all related data

I have searched all over and do not see a simple way to query my data as intuitively as I feel like should be possibe. These are classes for 3 tables. The actual dataset is closer to 100 tables. Each doc_id can have one or many associated activity_ids. Each activity_id is associated with one assay_id. My goal is to obtain all of the related data for each of the activities in a single doc. For instance: query_activities_values = Docs.objects.get(doc_id=5535).activities_set.values() for y in query_activities_values: print(y) break >>> {'activity_id': 753688, 'assay_id': 158542, 'doc_id': 5535, .....

How to convert UTC time to local time in Javascript
My backend is in Django. I used Django's auto_now_add feature on model to add the current time when that model was created. For example: This is 2019-10-08 09:16:20.666754+00:00. How to convert this in local time in Javascript? I have not coded JS. So the line's a bit blurry for me. I tried the following method: function localize_time(date) { date = new Date(date); date = date.toString(); } Then I saw another SO post to add "UTC", that's not working either. when I am calling a said function from Django's template, it's showing following error: Uncaught SyntaxError: missing ) after argument list It's on that function. In Django's template, I am calling the function like this: <script type="text/javascript"> localize_time({{ user.created_on | safe}}); </script> If I don't add safe, then the error is: Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected number Thanks in advance. -

How can I integrate a function based view into a Class Based View?
In my site I have 2 sections for users. The user posts page and the profile page. The profile page has all their info on it, so username, description, first/last name, etc. And the user posts page has all their posts on it. However, I want to integrate them together somehow. Here is some of the code. Here is the view for the User Posts class UserPostListView(ListView): model = Post template_name = 'mainapp/user_posts.html' context_object_name = 'posts' def get_queryset(self): user = get_object_or_404(User,username=self.kwargs.get('username')) return Post.objects.filter(author=user).order_by('-published_date') As you can see, I am returning the specific users posts.
