Does creating django objects in a loop burn memory?
I have code like this: for row in PageURL.objects.all(): r = requests.get(row.url) ss = Snapshot() ss.html = r.text ss.pageUrl = row ss.save() I am running out of memory. I believe that the "ss" variable isn't being cleared when looping 1000s of times. Would garbage collection not handle it? It runs fine on my Mac but on Centos 7 it uses more memory, oddly. -
Cannot render a list in template from django view
All my views are being rendered properly but when i try to render a list using iteration nothing is displayed on the page, without error. the view: from django.shortcuts import render from haleys_chemist.models import anti_bacterials from django.http import HttpResponse from .table import anti_bacterials_Table from django_tables2 import RequestConfig from datetime import datetime from django.http import HttpResponseRedirect from .forms import notepadform from django.contrib.auth.decorators import login_required from django.views.generic import TemplateView,ListView class retriever(TemplateView): template_name='index.html' def expiry_days(self,request): expired_drugs= anti_bacterials.objects.all() args={'expired_drugs':expired_drugs} return render (request, self.template_name,args) template(index.html): <h6><i>Drugs about to expire</i></h6> {%for expired_drug in expired_drugs%} <ul> <li>{{expired_drug.Drug_name}}</li> <li>{{expired_drug.expiry_date}}</li> </ul> {%endfor%} </div> model: class anti_bacterials(models.Model): Drug_id= models.IntegerField(primary_key=True); Drug_name= models.CharField(max_length=50); expiry_date= models.DateField(); Price_per_mg= models.DecimalField(decimal_places=2, max_digits=20) i need to list the expired drugs on the left bar. i know i have queried for all objects on the view but still i should get a list of all the objects names and expiry dates. -
How do I translate a url link into a path link in django when creating a dynamic link in an HTML template?
I'm super new at all of this. I'm following a tutorial (this one to be exact: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qgGIqRFvFFk) and it uses url() to create the urls and everything. However, the version of django that I downloaded uses path() and I've done pretty okay with translating everything over, but I'm trying to create a dynamic link in my HTML template so that I don't have any links hardcoded into the template. I keep getting an error though. This is my code: <form action="{% path 'music.favorite', album.id %}" method="post"> It's giving me an error saying 'Invalid block tag' and highlighting everything between the {% %} like there's something wrong with the python. I've been staring at this for so long. Someone save me. -

How to handle login/logout flow for multi users working on the same hardware computer
We have a classic web application accessed from physical shop with their computer, using browser. We build user role (owner and staff) and credentials so far normal web application. But we notice that lot of shop don't use it the way we except. They create one owner account and everybody use the same account. As main shops have only one computer and staff don't want to logout and type their login/password each time they take an order or need to search for information. I know that POS system have code bar reader and staff can scan their code-bar before registering an order but for our web application we don't have this hardware. So I wonder if there's some best practice, library, example or idea on how to handle this case. Thanks for reading. -
Serving static files with digitalocean
I am using DigitalOcean to serve my static files for my website. I have used Django and Postgres for database. I deployed my site with a DigitalOcean droplet, uploaded my static files in the DigitalOcean Spaces (I verified that they are indeed there), and updated my settings.py code to update my database information. CDN is enabled and CORS is configured. I tested the site using gunicorn (step 7 of tutorial), but my website is still simply html text with no css styling from my static files. When I clicked "inspect element > sources" I can see that href is indeed https://[my DigitalOcean Spaces information] What else do I need to update to be able to serve my static files?

Is it possible to use inline CSS to reference dynamic images in Django?
Sorry if the title was a bit unclear, I couldn't think of any other way to phrase it. So I want to know if it's possible to use inline CSS (<div class="" style="background-image: url();" and put the dynamically created images in there. So if I want a user to upload a banner, I want the background image of the div to be the image. Is this possible? So for example The user uploads a photo and it goes to /media/ Then normally to reference it, I would do <img class="user-image" src="{% user.userprofile.image.url %}"> However, what if I wanted to set it as a background image. In the CSS document, I want to do this: .user-image-div { background-image: url({% user.userprofile.image.url %}) } However, this doesn't work. So my question is, is it possible to use inline CSS in the HTML document to get around this? So like <div class="user-image-div" style="background-image: url({% user.userprofile.image.url %};)"> <!-- code here --> </div> Would this work? I don't have access to Django at the moment, so I will be able to test it out in a few days -

Safe filter Still Displays HTML Tags
I have added CKEditor to my django project, but the text is still showing HTML tags. Despite the fact that I have the safe filter inserted following my content variable. Am I missing the reason that this will not escape the HTML tags?

Website suddenly stopped loading 'Incomplete response received from application'
I am new to using Django and have recently put a website on a cloud managed server. Everything has been working fine for about a month or so. However, a day or so ago it is no longer loading and comes up with the error 'Incomplete response received from application'. In the console of my browser it also says it is a 502 error. I have looked and tried a few things online, but it seems that this problem can be caused by a few different things. I also tried looking at the passenger error.log file, but that didn't come up with anything. I was wondering if anyone has any tips, or can send me in a good direction to find out whats going on, as I haven't touched the files since they were uploaded. Thanks in advance. -
good practices of VBC views
I have a question about class-based views. I have the following view: class UserCourseListView(ListView): model = User template_name = 'courses/user_course_list.html' def get_queryset(self): user_inscriptions = self.request.user.get_inscriptions.all() courses = [inscription.course for inscription in user_inscriptions] return courses The purpose of the view is to obtain a list of the courses in which the user who logged in at that time has registered. And be able to access that data in context (in the template). The doubt I have is the following: The model class attribute is theUser model and in the get_queryset estoy method returning instances of theCourse model, which does not make much sense. And my question is, is it good practice to do this? Is there another better way to do it with class-based views? Another way I came up with it and that is more consistent is with a function-based view, but it doesn't convince me much: def user_course_list(request): user_inscriptions = request.user.get_inscriptions.all() courses = [inscription.course for inscription in user_inscriptions] return render('courses/user_course_list.html', {'courses': courses}) Since Django documentation recommends that we use class-based views as much as possible. -

How do I properly condense this Python IF statement?
I am pretty new to Python, and trying to find a better way to code this. There has to be a way but just not sure how to do it. The two queries are essentially the same, so there has to be a way to reduce.

Django. JSON response not working as expected
In Django, I am simply sending some JSON back when a user makes a POST request to my server. I am sending different JSON responses depending on the information the user inputs to my api endpoint. (I am using POSTMAN to test this) My API checks if the passwords a user supplies match, and if so sends a success message, however if not send a failure message. If they match or don't match, the same JSON is always sent back. Which is not wanted. Here is my code: def signup(request): if request.method == 'POST': if request.POST.get('password1') == request.POST.get('confirmPassword'): return JsonResponse({'message': 'Well Done'}) print('Success') else: print('Do not match') return JsonResponse({'error': 'Password fields do not match'}, status=400) Postman input: { "password1": "test123", "confirmPassword": "deedeedde" } RESPONSE: { "message": "Well Done" } -
Render ValidationError in template
I am making a page for adding products to the web shop by the user, and I am having troubles with displaying ValidationError in my template. The ValidationError is raised if selected category isn't the most specific category to select. To select a category, the user has to go trough chained dependent combobox selection, where you start with one combobox for main category and once you select main category, another <select> appears for selecting a subcategory, and so on until the innermost subcategory is selected. category is a field on my base Product model (from which other models, such as Book or Shoes, inherit) and isn't listed in ModelForms' inner Meta class fields, thus I can't have clean_category method on my ModelForms. Here is my view: @login_required def product_create_view(request): if request.method == 'POST': main_category = request.session.get('main_category') create_product_form = mappings[main_category](request.POST) if create_product_form.is_valid(): obj = create_product_form.save(commit=False) category = request.session.get('category') if Category.objects.get(id=category).is_leaf_node(): obj.category = Category.objects.get(id=category) obj.save() else: raise forms.ValidationError('Please select most specific category.') return render(request, 'products/product_create.html', { 'categories': Category.objects.filter(parent=None) }) How to render the ValidationError in the template, i.e. how can I have my ValidationError in my {{ field.errors }}? Currently I am seeing a stack trace. -

Change structure of JSON data for API POST request with Django
I have a Django REST API endpoint with this structure, that I need to post to an external API: { "body": [ "...", "...", "...", ], "title": [ "...", "...", "...", ], "id": [ "...", "...", "...", ] } The first item under 'body' goes with the first under 'title' and 'id', and so forth. The problem I'm having is that the API in question expects JSON data with the following structure: { "texts": [ { "body": "...", "title": "...", "id": "..." }, { "body": "...", "title": "...", "id": "..." }, { "body": "...", "title": "...", "id": "..." }, ], "language": "EN", } And I can't figure out how have my endpoint mirror that structure, with the bodies, titles, and ids grouped together, those groupings nested under texts, and with the language parameter appended at the end. The serializer I'm using in my views.py looks as follows: class MyReasonsSerializer(serializers.Serializer): body = serializers.SerializerMethodField() title = serializers.SerializerMethodField() id = serializers.SerializerMethodField() def get_body(self, obj): return obj.reasons.order_by('transaction_date').values_list('body', flat=True) def get_title(self, obj): return obj.reasons.order_by('transaction_date').values_list('title', flat=True) def get_id(self, obj): return obj.reasons.order_by('transaction_date').values_list('transaction_date', flat=True) class ReasonsData(RetrieveAPIView): queryset = Market.objects.all().prefetch_related('reasons') authentication_classes = [] permission_classes = [] serializer_class = MyReasonsSerializer Thanks in advance for any advice! -

Attaching profile to user model in django

Passing filtering options to a nested serializer in django DRF
