Passing name to a hidden field in Django form
I am trying to pass string to a hidden field scenario of a form whose data is stored in a database. The goal is to be able to retrieve extra information on client side without having it as another field of the form. This is my Model: class Person(models.Model): INDUSTRY_CHOICES = (('whatever','whatever'), ...) REGION_CHOICES = (('Europe', 'Europe'), ...) region = models.CharField(max_length=30, choices=REGION_CHOICES) industry = models.CharField(max_length=30, choices=INDUSTRY_CHOICES) uuid = models.CharField(max_length=50, blank=True, unique=True, default=uuid.uuid4) scenario = models.ForeignKey(Scenario, on_delete=models.CASCADE,) def __str__(self): return "{}".format(self.uuid) My Form class PersonForm(forms.ModelForm): class Meta: model=Person scenario = forms.CharField(widget=forms.HiddenInput()) fields=['industry', 'region','scenario'] widgets = { 'scenario': forms.HiddenInput(), } My View def personforms(request): persons = Person.objects.all() if request.method == 'POST': filled_form = PersonForm(request.POST) if filled_form.is_valid(): created_person = filled_form.save() print(filled_form.cleaned_data['region']) created_person_pk = created_person.id filled_form = PersonForm() return redirect('/scenariopage', {'persons':persons}) else: created_person_pk = None return render(request, 'core/scenario-landing-page.html', {'personform':filled_form, 'created_person_pk':created_person_pk}) else: form = PersonForm() return render(request, 'core/scenario-landing-page.html', {'personform':form}) And my template <form action="{% url 'personform' %}" method="post" class="custom-form"> {% csrf_token %} {% for field in personform %} {% render_field field.industry class="form-control" %} {% render_field field.region class="form-control" %} {% render_field field.scenario value='{{ scenario.name }}' %} {% endfor %} <input type="submit" class="btn color-btn" value="Go to Scenario page" data-dismiss="gallery-item"/> </form> Questions I have: What I am doing … -
Modal form not submitting Django
I have a modal which does not submit. I'm using the Django base model. I think it could be a problem with the CSRF token since it's been throwing that error. I'm not even making it to the 'something went wrong' error message. I added something to catch form.errors, but it doesn't show any errors. The variables are being passed, but for some reason - it's not working. def voting(request): if request.method == 'POST': user=request.user if user.is_authenicated: price, created = Voting.objects.get_or_create( user=request.user, anonymous_user=False, object_id = Object.objects.get( objectid=request.POST.get('objectid') ), thumbs_up=request.POST.get('thumbs_up'), thumbs_down=request.POST.get('thumbs_down'), comments=request.POST.get('comments') ) price.save() else: pass response_data = 'success' return HttpResponse(json.dumps(response_data), content_type="application/json") else: return HttpResponse(json.dumps({"message": "Something went wrong"}),content_type="application/json") Here is the html code: <div class="voting text-right"><small>See a problem?</small> <a onclick="thumbsup('{{ data.object.objectid }}'> <i class="fas fa-thumbs-up"></i> </a> <a data-toggle="modal" data-target="#feedback" data-object-id="{{ data.object.objectid }}"> <i class="fas fa-thumbs-down"></i> It does not work and does not submit.

TemplateDoesNotExist on Django custom management command tests
I have the following custom management command: from django.template.loader import render_to_string from django.core.management.base import BaseCommand class Command(BaseCommand): args = "" help = """Validates models.""" def handle(self, *args, **options): ... message = render_to_string( "validation_email.html", context ) ... When I run it from the command line, it works as expected without an issue. However, when I try to test it with the following test case: from io import StringIO from django.core import mail from django.core.management import call_command from django.test import TestCase from my_app.management.commands import validate_models class TestValidateModels(TestCase): def test_successful_call(self): out = StringIO() cmd = validate_models.Command() call_command(cmd, stdout=out) self.assertEqual(len(mail.outbox), 1) It gives me the following error: django.template.exceptions.TemplateDoesNotExist: validation_email.html Am I missing something? Why the command works just fine from the command line, but generates template problems while running unit tests? Is there any tweak needed about the templates to be able to test Django custom management commands? -

Showing related instance on readonly popup in django admin
When you see the control (e.g. a dropdown) for a related field in a Django admin create/edit form for a Model, by default it comes with 2 icons, one for add a new instance and one for editing the selected instance. I know that the formfield's widget can be tweaked with the can_add_related and can_change_related flags to not show those icons, but I wonder: is there any out-of-the-box way to have a "view" icon that would display a pop-up just like the edit one but with all fields being displayed as readonly? (There's a can_view_related flag, but that's not what it's for) So far the "easiest" way I can think of is extending the admin/change_form.html template and seeing if I can somehow force all controls to be readonly when is_popup is set to true. -
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'split' in Firefox only
I have recently started a project in Django and I don't have too much experience in this framework. However, everything is working fine so far, but I am getting these errors when I open the project's site in the browser. I am not sure what it is about, but I have noticed that this happens only in Firefox and only after opening any other site (particularly in my case Facebook or Gmail) in new tab, while navigating to any page on my project. Prior to the visit of these websites, everything is working fine without any error in the console. If I clear the cache of the browser after this happen and close the additional tabs, everything is back to normal until I reopen any of the websites again. Also, I have checked if this would be a case in Chrome and I have noticed that everything is working fine there, even when the mentioned websites are opened in new tab. Can anyone provide me more information on what would be the reason for these errors?

django: how to download a dataframe that is returned from a view
I have a form that takes an api key and an id and retrieves some data with a "load" button. That data is served as html in a template. Once the user sees the data that was retrieved, I would like them to be able to download the data as a CSV file by clicking a "download" button. What I've been trying to do is pass data as a context variable into a template, and then send that data on to another view that returns a download response from a view called "export". Perhaps there's a better way to do this? Sorry if this is a really dumb question. views.py def myview(request): if request.method == 'POST': # create a form instance and populate it with data from the request: form = WorkbenchForm(request.POST) # check whether it's valid: if form.is_valid(): context['form'] = form # Retrieve data from api [...] context['data'] = pandas_dataframe.to_html() context['file'] = pandas_dataframe.to_csv() return render(request, 'app/data.html', context) def export(request): response = HttpResponse(request, content_type='text/csv') response['Content-Disposition'] = 'attachment; filename=' + 'test.txt' return response data.html <body> <h1>Data</h1> <form action= "" method="post"> {% csrf_token %} {{ form.as_ul }} <input type="submit", value="Load"> </form> {% if data %} <h4>Data</h4> {{ data | safe }} <form … -

What is the django rest framework suggested way, to render a serializer html template using Response() with Class Based View?
I'm defining a Class based view CRUD using Response() method, where I need to return my serialized data to a html template, but I haven't found a functional example using CBV (class based view) instead of FBS (function based view). I have read the DRF documentation about viewsets, requests and Response, and I found some ways to do that, but I'm not sure what is best suggested way according to my context. My project structure is as below: api core fixtures logs static templates users web In api folder I have my serializer and my api class: serializers.py class CustomDictionarySerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer): class Meta: model = CustomDictionary fields = ('__all__') api.py class CustomDictionaryViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet): queryset = CustomDictionary.objects.all().filter( is_active=True, is_deleted=False ).order_by('id') permission_classes = [ permissions.AllowAny ] serializer_class = CustomDictionarySerializer pagination_class = StandardResultsSetPagination urls.py router.register('api/customdictionary', CustomDictionaryViewSet, 'customdictionary') Then, in my web folder, I needed to render my serialized data, so I tried as below: views.py class CustomDictionaryView(View): def get(self, request, *args, **kwargs): queryset = CustomDictionary.objects.all() serializer = CustomDictionarySerializer(self.get_queryset, many=True) return Response(serializer.data,status=status.HTTP_200_OK,template_name='web/dictionary_get.html') ...

How to get all related objects from a reverse foreign key Django serializer (one-to-many)?
I have been trying to create a Trello-like clone and storing my 'Lists' and 'Applications' as separate models with a foreign key on my 'Applications' model to create a One-To-Many between Lists and Applications. I usually use Node and Sequelize and have been unsuccessful in trying to query my Lists and also returning all the Applications with the List's ID as the Applications foreign key. I suspect I am just missing something silly on my Serializers. I've tried a few things that broke the code, but now I just have it returning the List's fields like this: [ { "title": "My First List" }, { "title": "My Second List" }, ] when in reality what I really want back is something like: [ { "id": 1, "title": "My First List", "applications": [ { "id": 1, "company_name": "Spotify", "position": "Web Engineer", "date_applied": "2019-09-09", "application_id": "xv112_cv", "priority_level": "High", "company_contact_email": "jg@spotify.com", "notes": "Seems promising", "location": "New York", "status_list": "1" }, { "id": "2", "company_name": "Foursquare", "position": "Client Solutions Engineer", "date_applied": "2019-10-09", "application_id": "fsq_app_1", "priority_level": "High", "company_contact_email": "jdwyer@foursquare.com", "notes": "Interview on 9/29/19", "location": "New York", "status_list": "1" }, ] }, { "id": "2" "title": "My Second List", "applications": "applications": [ { "id": "3", "company_name": … -
How do I automate this sendinblue api?
Trying to automate the adding of contacts to sendinblue's api. The example given on their site shows adding a email and then adding it to a list in your account. I have tried fstrings and .format(email, industry, role) but for some reason it keeps throwing back errors. Heres what their website shows which works. import requests url = "https://api.sendinblue.com/v3/contacts" payload = "{\"email\":\"someonesEmail97@gmail.com\",\"listIds\":[1,4],\"updateEnabled\":false}" headers = { 'accept': "application/json", 'content-type': "application/json" } response = requests.request("POST", url, data=payload, headers=headers Here's what I tried import requests url = "https://api.sendinblue.com/v3/contacts" payload = "{\"email\":\f"{email}"\",\"listIds\":[f"{industry}",f"{role}"],\"updateEnabled\":false}" headers = { 'accept': "application/json", 'content-type': "application/json" } response = requests.request("POST", url, data=payload, headers=headers) I want this in the signup part of my site so it will grab their email thats been authenticated and add it to the appropriate list that I have set up. But what I get back from using fstrings is invalid syntax in the terminal pointing to the email field. I then tried .format and that didn't show any errors on the terminal but on the webpage I got this error back payload = "{\"email\":\{}\",\"listIds\":[{},{}],\"updateEnabled\":false}".format(email, industry, role) KeyError at /accounts/signup/activate/ "'email'" points to line that the payload is on.

Stripe Connect Express - Callback URI for Localhost Doesn't Seem to Work
I'm trying to set up a platform that uses Stripe, and since I need marketplace type of setup I'm using Connect, which does payments and payouts. I'm testing on local and the redirect URLs I've tried don't seem to work. After registering with Stripe, I'm still taken to their default redirect URI, which says: Congrats, you're almost done setting up your application! After connecting with Stripe, your users will be redirected to a page of your choosing (this is just the default). Make sure to change the test redirect URI under your application settings to something that makes sense on your own server (or localhost). However, I have tried all of these as redirect URIs in my Stripe Connect Dashboard, under the 'testing' option: http://localhost:8000/test-stripe/connect/default/oauth/test http://localhost:8000/test-stripe/oauth/callback http://localhost:8000/test-stripe/ These are supposed to be the URI that Stripe redirects back to on my site, with an added parameter at the end. Am I missing something? I find their documentation labyrinthine, as you have to click on link after link to get one part of their solution working, and then see if you can find your way back to where you left off. Maybe I missed something along the way. Thanks in advance … -

How to run django server and show it inside a NWjs application
I want to use Django Rest Framework to provide an API for saving data to a sqlite3 database, with the frontend made in React. And I want it to be a NW.js app. I have used succesfully Django and react. It works correctly. But when I try to save a file, it does not let the user choose a directory. It goes to the default "Downloads" in windows. The option to let the user choose a custom directory is something that can be done with NW.js. I used the file-saver and it saves the file but does not let the user choose a directory, wich is very important var FileSaver = require('file-saver'); var blob = new Blob(["Hello, world!"], {type: "text/plain;charset=utf-8"}); FileSaver.saveAs(blob, "hello world.txt"); I expect the user to be shown a window similar to the FileUpload type, but it just downloads it. -
Django findstatic: "No matching file found" but the file is there
On a Django 1.11 app deployed to Heroku.

Relevant part of settings.py: I followed Heroku's instructions for service Static Files with Django: BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))) STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "staticfiles") STATIC_URL = "/static/" STATICFILES_DIRS = [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "static"),] MIDDLEWARE = [ 'django.middleware.security.SecurityMiddleware', 'whitenoise.middleware.WhiteNoiseMiddleware', # ...others here too ] Also, whitenoise in requirements.txt Related questions that did not solve my problem: Django findstatic : No matching file found (STATICFILES_DIRS appears to me to be correctly set up) django findstatic not looking in every directory (In my situation, findstatic appears to be looking in the correct parent directory) -
Password Change URL in Django is accessible by directly entering URL, but fails when clicking on "Change Password" button
I am making a website based on William S. Vincent's "Django for Beginners." In the project I am building I have a homepage, with a drop-down menu that includes, among other options, a "Change Password" selection. When I go directly to the URL 127.0.0.1:8000/users/password_change/ I arrive at the correct page, but clicking the "Change Password" option gives me the following error: "Using the URLconf defined in newspaper_project.urls Django tried these URL patterns in this order: 1. admin/ 2. users/signup/ [name='signup'] 3. users/login/ [name='login']...11. articles/ 12. [name='home']. The current path, users/password_change/{% url 'password_change' %}. didn't match any of these." Below are the relevant sections of code: /Desktop/news/templates/base.html {% if user.is_authenticated %} <ul class="navbar-nav ml-auto"> <li class="nav-item"> <a class="nav-link dropdown-toggle" href="#" id="userMenu"\ data-toggle="dropdown" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded\ ="false"> {{ user.username }} </a> <div class="dropdown-menu dropdown-menu-right"\ aria-labelledby="userMenu"> <a class="dropdown-item" href="{% url 'article_list' %}">Entries</a> <div class="dropdown-divider"></div> <a class="dropdown-item" href="{% url 'password_change' %}">Change password</a> <div class="dropdown-divider"></div> <a class="dropdown-item" href="{% url 'logout' %}"> Log Out</a> /Desktop/news/users/urls.py from django.urls import path from .views import SignUpView urlpatterns = [ path('signup/', SignUpView.as_view(), name='signup'), ] /Desktop/news/users/views.py from django.shortcuts import render from django.urls import reverse_lazy from django.views.generic import CreateView from .forms import CustomUserCreationForm class SignUpView(CreateView): form_class = CustomUserCreationForm success_url = reverse_lazy('login') template_name = …
