Django Form not saving
I am relatively new to django and i'm trying to implement some modelforms. My page consists of two views, a Politics section and a Sports section, each one with the same form for making comments (my comment model is named Comentario). It has a field for the content and a field for the section the comment belongs to. Both views are basically the same so I'm going to showcase just the politics one: from django.contrib import messages from django.shortcuts import render from django.views.generic import CreateView from usuarios.models import Usuario from .forms import CrearComentario from .models import Comentario usuarios = Usuario.objects.all() comentarios = Comentario.objects.all() pag = '' def politics(request): if request.user.is_authenticated: if request.method == 'POST': form = CrearComentario(request.POST, instance=request.user) if form.is_valid(): messages.success(request, 'Publicado!') pag = 'politics' form.save() form = CrearComentario() else: form = CrearComentario(request.POST,instance=request.user) else: messages.warning(request, 'Comentario no válido') form = CrearComentario(request.POST) return render(request, 'main/politics.html', {'usuarios': usuarios, 'comentarios': comentarios, 'form': form}) In case you're wondering, 'pag' is a control variable that is checked by my signals.py file to update the 'pagina' field I had trouble with the submit buttons in my custom modelsforms, the form displays correctly, and when I write something in the form and submit it, it displays a … -
organize urls in django
I have a problem with my urls, first of all here my urls.py: from .views import ( CouponListView, CouponDetailView, buy_coupon, UserCouponListView, CouponOnResaleCreateView, CouponOnResaleListView, ) from django.urls import path coupons_patterns = ([ path('', CouponListView.as_view(), name = 'list'), path('<int:pk>/<slug:slug>/', CouponDetailView.as_view(), name = 'detail'), path('create/<int:pk>/<slug:slug>/', CouponOnResaleCreateView.as_view(), name = 'create'), path('<slug:slug>/', UserCouponListView.as_view(), name = 'user'), path('coupon/<int:pk>/<slug:slug>/buy/', buy_coupon, name = 'buy_coupon'), ], 'coupons') Well, I want to add another "pattern" of urls so to speak, that is, the "pattern" of urls that I have is: coupons: name and I want to add one like this: coupons_on_resale: name, but without having to create another app. How should I do it? It occurs to me to create other patterns like the one I showed before and include it, but is it good practice? Are there other ways? I want a scalable, clean and easy to maintain structure in my urls. Thanks for your suggestions in advance! -
Django-Rest-Framework POST request to ManyToMany Field
I have a django model that is a message. It has a name which is a CharField, then also an array of users which is a ManyToManyField. So This is what my API looks like: [ { "id": 13, "content": "hej", "date": "2019-07-09", "sender": { "id": 1, "username": "william" } }, { "id": 14, "content": "hej william", "date": "2019-07-09", "sender": { "id": 3, "username": "ryan" } } ] What I've tried to send via postman POST: { "content": "Hello", "sender": {"username": "william"}, "date": "2019-09-02" } The Error I get: sqlite3.IntegrityError: NOT NULL constraint failed: chat_message.sender_id ManyToManyField(Userprofile=User): class Message(models.Model): sender = models.ForeignKey(UserProfile, on_delete=models.CASCADE, related_name="sendermessage") content = models.CharField(max_length=500) date = models.DateField(default=date.today) canview = models.ManyToManyField(UserProfile, blank=True, related_name="messagecanview") class Meta: verbose_name_plural = 'Messages' def __str__(self): return "{sender}".format(sender=self.sender) -
Return existing record rather than creating Rest API framework
In my API, I have a create view tied that references another record OneToOne. However, occasionally it seems that users send through two requests at once and the second fails due to a duplicate record clash: class CreateProfileLink(generics.CreateAPIView): def perform_create(self, serializer): ins = serializer.save(user=self.request.user) serializer_class = ProfileLinkSerializer Is there a way I could override the create method to return the record if it already exists rather than creating it? -
How to reload a custom command from inside shell?
I'm looking to test some custom commands and wondering if there's a way to reload a command once I'm already inside shell? ie: > python manage.py shell > from django.core import management > management.call_command('get_embeds') > # make some changes to file > # reload command > management.call_command('get_embeds') We're running on a vagrant VM so running something such as python manage.py get_embeds takes a bit of time to load each time I want to test the script. -

Cannot get send_mail to work in Django 2.3. No error message. No log message indicating email is sent or not sent
So I have been scouring the internet trying to get my code to work and i feel like I've read every post about this issue and still haven't figured out why I can't get my form to send me an email. I created a class based view which inherits FormView and have written a method that should send an email to me anytime there is a post-request. For the life of me, I can't get it to work. For those who are in the same boat, this is one post that seemed promising so hopefully this will help you even if it doesn't help me: Django sending email My views.py: (both email addresses are the same.

How to fix 'CustomUser' object has no attribute 'get'

Passing Django Model to Javascript
I'm trying to pass my complete model with it fields because I need to use it on a Javascript function. I've tried everything I've seen (using json.dumps(), serializers..) and anything worked for me. I've donde the query this way: cancion = Cancion.objects.get(pk = cancion_id) The reason is because I need specific data depending on the id. Doing this, it throws me the following error: 'Cancion' object is not iterable So I don't find the correct way I have to do this stuff and use the model field in my javascript function. The field I want to use is a .mid file. If you have any doubts about the code feel free to ask anything -
How do I greet the user when they log into my website?
I'm trying to greet the user when they log into my django website, but using the django login has made it too difficult to send a message to my template and redirect to the new url behind the scenes. How can I greet the user(preferrably with that user's name) on the template of the url I redirect to? I've tried working with messages, but redirecting to the new url always overrides the message and it never appears. Regular logging in and out works fine, I'm just trying to figure out how to display welcome text to the user to let them know they have successfully logged in and are using their own account. views.py def loginPage(request): return render(request, "registration/login.html") def login(request): username = request.POST['username'] password = request.POST['password'] user = authenticate(request, username=username, password=password) if user is not None: #Success! messages.success(request, "Welcome " + user) #NOT WORKING :( login(request, user) else: return HttpReponseRedirect("/DataApp/accounts/login/") settings.py LOGIN_URL = "/DataApp/accounts/login/" LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL = "/DataApp/search/" base.html <!-- This is nested in a div tag inside of the html class body --> {% if messages %} <ul class="messages"> {% for message in messages %} <li{% if message.tags %} class="{{ message.tags }}" {% endif %}> {{ message }}</li> {% … -
How to fix django model manager to work with serializer
I have used model managers in my app to do the heavy lifting.

How to combine Django forms, formsets, and formwizard for multi-step form
I'm looking to replicate the following form structures in a Django application. These are already coded in a PHP application. On the first page there are two separate forms for entry, where the top form is slightly different from the bottom form.

Django - ORM - datetime field different formats

Reading and creating nested relation in single serializer django
I have two models Category and Products, and a classic one to many relatoin between them. Each product belongs to a category. I am using Django-Rest-Framework. I am using ModelViewSet as a ViewSet and ModelSerializer as a Serializer. I created the ProductViewSet which has the full CRUD opertions. What I am trying to achieve is to include the relation in the READ operations ( list , retrieve ). The response should look something like that. { "id" : 2, "name" : "foo product" , "category" : { "id" : 4, "name" : "foo relation" } } So I set the depth field in Meta equal to 1. class ProductSerializer(ModelSerializer): class Meta: model = Product exclude = ('createdAt',) depth = 1 What makes the category read only.But I want it to be writable in the other actions (POST , PUT). I know I can solve the problem using two serializes but this is a repetitive problem and I don't want to write two serializes for each model I have. I tried to add category_id field in the serializer but I had to override the create method to make it work correctly. And again I am trying to write less code. because … -

Can I override __new__ in Django ModelForm?
I have a ModelForm with Django 1.11, and I'm moving a few fields to another model. Calling make_migrations causes an error because these fields don't exist in the current model. I added some of the fields to the form, but one of the fields is a TranslatedField and therefore there are currently 2 fields, and in the future there might be more, depending on the number of languages. The name of the field is city, and currently I get an error message "Unknown field(s) (city_en, city_he) specified for SiteProfile" (because I'm using 2 languages - "en" and "he") - but I want to create all the fields dynamically with a for loop over the languages we use in the project. Can I override (and is it a good programming method) the new method or is there another way? I prefer not to hard-code the specific field names (city_en and city_he) because they may change in the future, depending on how many languages we use. You can see my current commit (not working) on GitHub. And the current code of this branch. I would like to know what is the best programming method to define a dynamic list of fields (which … -

I have an existing and ongoing Django project pgadn_website that has its own virtual env, and I just created a fresh Django project called Blog which I intend to use for testing some stuff which is also has its own virtual env. So strange that when I execute runserver on Blog, it gives me this error: I'm suspecting I might have set something globally but I don't know where to look for it. P.S. the error also happens on pretty much every new project I create, not just the Blog one.
