django template iterated list: how create unique overlay-popup for each item?
In django easy to generate an iterated list of titles from context received by template: {% for instance in object_list %} <li>{{instance.international_title}} </li> {% endfor %} And in css easy to create a popup overlay: #overlay { height:300px; width:300px; margin:0 auto; position:relative; z-index:10; display:none; border:5px solid #cccccc; border-radius:10px; } <div align="center"> <a href="#overlay"> Click Title for Detail</a> </div> <div id="overlay"> <p> Here is the text giving more detail<p> </div> Would like to be able to associate a unique text with each unique title {{instance.international_short_description}} for the purposes of the overlay popup. However do not see how to do this. Is it necessary to somehow create a series of css classes: #overlay1, #overlay2 with custom href to each one? Is it possible to use a single class and then pass a variable to it to then select the correct text? Have not been able to find examples. -

Can't figure out NoReverseMatch error in Django
I've written a small web application and when I want to load the page I get Reverse for 'form_view' with arguments '('',)' not found. 1 pattern(s) tried: ['form/view/(?P[0-9]+)$'] The application was working fine.

How to set globally-accessible context variables in django template tags?
There is a template tag which returns a random element from the list. I also need to save all the elements that were in the list and the one that had been picked in context, and later depict that information in django-debug-toolbar panel. from django import template import random register = template.Library() @register.simple_tag(takes_context=True, name='pickrandomelementtag') def pickrandomelementtag(context, list_of_random_elements): context.dicts[0]["key18"] = "value19" return random.choice(list_of_random_elements) So I test setting the variables functionality with given line: context.dicts[0]["key18"] = "value19" I am able to access the {{key18}} within the template, but my aim is set this variable in a manner that it would be accessible later on (globally?) from django-debug-toolbar panel. That's where i'm stuck. Here is my django-debug-toolbar panels.py file: from debug_toolbar.panels import Panel from django.template.loader import render_to_string from django.utils.translation import ugettext_lazy as _ from django.template.response import SimpleTemplateResponse class RandomPanel(Panel): name = "RandomPanel;" has_content = True template = 'panels/randompanel.html' def title(self): return _('Random Panel') def generate_stats(self, request, response): print('that is where I need to access key18') self.record_stats( { "request": request } ) How would I access context variable key18 in generate_stats method of RandomPanel class object?

How to set 'DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE' based on mysite.settings from a different directory
I have a Django project which works good. My manage.py and mysite folder (the one that includes the following: __init__.py settings.py urls.py views.py wsgi.py ) and a bunch of django app folders are located in the following directory E:\mydjangoproject In order to use the django setting of this project in a script, I used to use the following code at the beginning of that script: os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'mysite.settings' which always works fine since the python script file which I was running was also located in the directory E:\mydjangoproject and it locates the mysite folder as a module and its settings perfectly. My question is what if I am trying to run that exact python script from another directory say E:\mydjangoproject\SubFolder 1\SubFolder 2\ and still want the os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'mysite.settings' Off course when I try this I get the error ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'mysite'. How can I pass the right path of the django settings to the script? -

Saving / accessing fields from Class methods (Django)

Internal Server Error when running Django with Scrapy
I am making a relatively simple django app where you can add articles to it. Besides adding the article manually i am attempting to make use of scrapy and after you have added the title of the article manually you would visit the page of the article from the front-end and by the push of a button it would crawl another website to find that article and copy specific links it would find. The problem is that i am facing several issues that results in Internal Server Error. The errors are ValueError: signal only works in main thread when I am not using the options --noreload --nothreading to run the django server. When running the server with the options mentioned just before, i get raise error.ReactorNotRestartable() twisted.internet.error.ReactorNotRestartable.

How to implement a shared variable for the entire django project?
I am writing a django server for a card game. The game begins when 2 players press the play button. To do this, in views.py I have the variable "turn", in which the id of the player who wants to play is recorded. As soon as 2 players appear in the "turn", an instance of the class with the game is created for them and is written into the dictionary, for example: games_now = {"id1": , "id2": }. Thus, 2 players use one class and manipulate common variables in it. So far, I run django as "manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:80" on the server 1 core and do not notice any problems. But in production I have to use apache or nginx. What happens if I run a django-project on nginx on a multi-core VPS? Will all players then have access to the "turn" and "games_now" variables? How can I implement the functionality of the game on a multi-core processor to avoid conflicts? The game is implemented in the bot on vk.com I receive requests from vk.com in the form {"from_id": from_id (int), "objects": {"message": message (text)}} and within 3 seconds I should return the answer 'ok' to the server. Therefore, everything … -
