How can I escape colons in Django's field lookups?
I've brought some JSON metadata into a JSONfield() and some of the key names include a colon. Am I able to escape the field lookups so I can do something like the example below? filtered_qs = queryset.filter(data__properties__object:key="some_value") where object:key is the name of my JSON key Currently i'm getting the keyword cannot be an expression syntax error.

Graphene-Django Relay Cursor Based Pagination Does Not Work for Dynamic Data
I am fetching dynamic data using Graphene-Django Relay specification. import graphene from graphene_django.types import DjangoObjectType from graphene_django.fields import DjangoConnectionField from . import models class PostType(DjangoObjectType): class Meta: model = models.Post interfaces = (graphene.Node, ) class Query(graphene.ObjectType): post = graphene.Field(PostType) posts = DjangoConnectionField(PostType) def resolve_posts(self, info, **kwargs): return models.Post.objects.order_by('-created_date', '-id') When I add a new post after fetching cursors and data, cursors change. In other words, the cursor that was pointing to the exact offset of data does not point that data any longer. It points a new, different data. Thereby, I cannot implement a cursor-based pagination by using: query fetchPosts ($cursor) { posts(first: 20, after: $cursor)... } Because cursor changes as data changes, it is no different than traditional offset-based-pagination. Is there something I am missing? What I want for the cursor is not to change. Like this article: https://www.sitepoint.com/paginating-real-time-data-cursor-based-pagination/ How should I make the cursor point the same data that changes dynamically? -
List all the permissions and Select/ Deselect/ Update for a specific user
I am working on a custom Admin app in Django project. I repeat, I DO NOT want to use the Django's inbuilt Admin interface/app provided. I am stuck at a point where I want to change the Permissions given to a specific User. I used the generic UpdateView for updation of some specific User's details like Name, Email, User Name etc. but when it came to updating the User Permissions, there was neither a button,link nor a checkbox. How can I ADD/Remove/Update the permissions of a User? Any help would be highly appreciated. class UserUpdate(UserPassesTestMixin, UpdateView): models = User fields = ('username', 'email', 'first_name', 'last_name', 'is_staff', 'is_active', 'is_superuser', 'user_permissions') def get_object(self, queryset=None): obj = User.objects.get(pk=self.kwargs['pk']) self.success_url = reverse_lazy('admin:user_detail', kwargs={'pk': obj.pk}) return obj def test_func(self): return self.request.user.is_superuser This is my view for updating the User Data by selecting a User. -
How many times does the Django ORM hit the database when calling a foreign key's primary key and using the in list filter?
Lets say I have the following models: class Foo(models.Model): ... class Bar(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=255) foo = models.ForeignKey(Foo) Now, I am doing the following queries: foo_pks = set([]) for bar in Bar.objects.filter(name='some_name'): foo_pks.add(bar.foo.pk) for foo in Foo.objects.filter(pk__in=foo_pks): # Do something So basically, I am adding the primary keys to the set, and then using that set to make another query. How many times am I hitting the database? Moreover, is this horribly inefficient, and if so, is there a better way to do this? -
What to test in a simple DRF API?
So, I'm not a test expert and sometimes, when using packages like DRF, I think what should I test on the code... If I write custom functions for some endpoints, I understand I should test this because I've written this code and there are no tests for this... But the DRF codebase is pretty tested. But if I'm writing a simple API that only extends ModelSerializer and ModelViewSet what should I be testing? The keys in the JSON serialized? The relations? What should I be testing? -
Django - access individual fields in a class-based view generated form
I'm using a custom template I created for a class-based view. Previously I used a "pre-defined" template, one created by form.as_p, but for the custom template I need to access certain fields individually, specifically I have a CharField constrained by choices and I want to populate the options in a <select> field, yet using something like form.myInput doesn't work: Model: class MyObject(models.Model): ... states = ( ('A', 'Activated'), ('D', 'Deactivated') ) state = models.CharField(max_length=1, choices=states, blank=False, default='A') View: class CreateMyObject(CreateView): model = MyObject fields = '__all__' Custom template: ... <select id="state" class="form-control"> {% for s in form.state %} <option value="{{s.0}}">{{s.1}}</option> {% endfor %} </select> ... (this doesn't work!!!) I've seen some solutions where people define a Form but I don't have one. My form is 100% the Model itself. Do I still need to define one? It seems to me I should be able to access easily the fields in form, given that, for instance, form.as_p access all of them and easily creates a basic template... Thanks. -

Pre_delete signal does not work in Django
I am working with signals in Django, specifically with the pre_delete signal, code: signals.py file: def delete_unnecessary_image(sender, instance, using): print('holaaaa') instance.image.delete(save = False) apps.py file (here I register the receivers in the ready() method): def ready(self): from .signals import delete_unnecessary_image from .models import Course pre_delete.connect(delete_unnecessary_image, sender = Course) The problem is that it doesn't work, it doesn't eliminate the image of the Course model, and I don't know why. Any solution? -
Crispy forms throws VariableDoesNotExist error failed lookup for key [html5_required] on forms
I use allauth to sign in with emails and did a very basic custom login form and a template override for allauth and display the login form. Hitting the URL throws me straight into the exception: Failed lookup for key [html5_required] in [{'True': True, 'False': False, 'None': None}, {'True': True, 'False': False, 'None': None, 'form': , 'form_show_errors': True, 'form_show_labels': True, 'label_class': '', 'field_class': ''}, {'forloop': {'parentloop': {}, 'counter0': 1, 'counter': 2, 'revcounter': 2, 'revcounter0': 1, 'first': False, 'last': False}, 'field': }, {}] where I then have to continue the debugger twice to end up on the form. I tried looking for this specific [html5_required] tag/key but haven't found anybody with the same missing key. I removed the custom login form in settings.py to see if there is an issue but that didn't help. I even tested it with a simple ```ModelForm`` just displaying two fields and got the same issue. settings.py: INSTALLED_APPS = [ ...

How to customize RetrieveAPIView to take a subview like `blogs/:blog_id/minimal` in Django REST Framework?
I am on Django 1.11, and I am trying to generate a minimal view for a view that is extending RetrieveApiView. The router looks like this: url(r'^(/blogs/(?P<pk>.*)', BlogView.as_view() The BlogView is implemented as such: class BlogView(RetrieveAPIView): search_fields = () queryset = Blog.objects.all() serializer_class = BlogSerializer @detail_route(methods=["get"]) def minimal(self, request, pk=None, **kwargs): return Response( data={ "message": 1 } ) So basically I want to get /blogs/:blog_id to display the current default full view from BlogSerializer, and /blogs/:blog_id/minimal to trigger the minimal function here somehow and display another view. Currently, this solution doesn't really work as I got 404 when visiting /blogs/:blog_id/minimal. Is it possible without having to manually declare another url in route? The reason I choose to not use a query parameter here because I would prefer to have different permission for those 2 view. a minimal view can be viewed by less restricted role -

Django: Survey models and how to display them on template
I'm building a Survey creator that can multiple questions and they can be of four different types: text question, date question, date range question and multiple choice. Below are the models that I've used but I'm having a super hard time understading how to display the correct widget for the correspoding type of question. models.py class Survey(models.Model): title = models.CharField(max_length=255, unique=True) class Question(models.Model): TYPE_QUESTION = ( ("Text", "Text"), ("Date", "Date"), ("Date Range", "Date Range"), ("Multiple Choice", "Multiple Choice"), ) survey = models.ForeignKey(Survey, null=True) title = models.CharField(max_length=255) type_question = models.CharField(max_length=255, choices=TYPE_QUESTION, default=TEXT) class Answer(models.Model): question = models.ForeignKey(Question, null=True) user = models.ForeignKey(User, null=True) answer = models.CharField(max_length=255) I want to achieve something like this but without having to define the form manually: preview.html {% for question in questions|dictsort:"date_added" %} <div class="question-container"> <h4>{{question.title}}</h4> <div class="question-body"> {% if question.type_question == 'Text' %} <input type="text"> {% elif question.type_question == 'Date' %} <input type="date"> {% elif question.type_question == 'Date Range' %} <input type="date"> <input type="date"> {% elif question.type_question == 'Multiple Choice' %} <input type="radio" name="gender" value="male" checked> Yes<br> <input type="radio" name="gender" value="female"> No {% endif %} </div> </div> {% endfor %} Should I redefine my Answer model and define one model for each type of questions? or … -
How to update profile picture for existing model instance?
I'm trying to update a user's profile photo after they've already created their account. I'm using an abstract user model connected to a model called Person. For additional context, I have my application connected to AWS to deploy to Heroku.

Adding different images based on if post is liked
I'm creating a social media website, where users can like each others post. I have successfully done most of this. I have allowed a user to like and dislike posts, and displayed a list of the users who have liked the post in my template. One issue I have is changing an image based on whether the user has liked the post or not. My current implementation is incorrect, and I am unsure how to solve it. Currently, I have a variable on the Post model(is_liked), and an image changes depending if this is true or not. My problem with this is if one user likes a post, it shows up as liked for every user. I want it so everyone can't see the graphic that is displayed when a post is liked, and only if they like it themselves. models.py: class Post(models.Model): file = models.FileField(upload_to='files/') summary = models.TextField(max_length=600) pub_date = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True) user = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE) likes = models.ManyToManyField(User, related_name='likes') is_liked = models.BooleanField(default=False) views.py: def likepost(request, post_id): if request.method == 'POST': tuser = request.user post = get_object_or_404(Post, pk=post_id) if post.likes.filter(id=tuser.id).exists(): post.likes.remove(tuser) post.is_liked = False post.save() else: post.likes.add(tuser) post.is_liked = True post.save() return redirect('home') home.html(template) {% if post.is_liked == True %} … -

Unable to save stripe payments to table
I followed this stripe payments tutorial: https://testdriven.io/blog/django-stripe-tutorial/. I'm using the pop-up box. I'm not sure how I can save the information to the Payments table.

How to build a Django model where the data in one field varies based on the User
I have a Customer model in Django which is linked to a User by Foreign key, so each user (engineer) can have multiple customers: class Customer(models.Model): __tablename__ = 'Customer' engineer = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE, related_name='engineer') # other fields I now wish to add a JSONField to Customer which will hold some data I pull from a third party API: distance = JSONField(blank=True, null=True) This is great, as I can have distance information stored on a per customer basis. However this distance information would differ for each engineer/customer combination. I'm missing how I would create another model to accommodate this in an efficient manner. I suspect inheritance could be used here, but I'm struggling to figure out how to put this together. I would like to use {{customer.distance}} in the template and have the correct distance returned for the logged in user. -

Problem with ManyToManyField in other model's forms using Bootstrap
I would like to show possible choices from ManyToManyField (which I have in Homes model) in the Owners form. I have Owners <--Many2Many--> Homes with custom class HomesOwners. In Homes it works out of the box, I don't know how to make it work in Owners. I am using Django 2.2.4 with Bootstrap 4 and Postgresql. I started my project based on django-bookshelf project (also just Django and Bootstrap4). I do not use any render. Comment in django-bookshelf project mentioned How to add bootstrap class to Django CreateView form fields in the template?, so I stick to that if it comed to forms. I'm pretty new to Python (so Django too) and web technologies in general. I googled dozen of different questions/answers but I couldn't find any nice explanation of what is what and how to use it in real life. Most of them ended up with basic usage. I did some experimentation on my own, but no success so far... Here is the code I have two models - Homes/models.py and Owners/models.py Homes/models.py: class Homes(models.Model): id = models.AutoField(primary_key=True) # other fields some_owners = models.ManyToManyField(Owners, through='HomesOwners', through_fields=('id_home', 'id_owner'), related_name='some_owners') # end of fields, some other code in the class like …
