Model instances saved only partially
I have a fairly complex view with several subforms and formsets with both many-to-many and one-to-one relationships. When getting a form from context object, I'm hitting a weird issue that some of the data is not saved. Correct model instance is created with form.save(), I can see all the fields I filled out in form, but all that's added to the database is pk, all the fields are empty. The same happens when I'm saving with commit=False and then saving again, when I'm updating fields manually and then saving or when I'm using force_insert=True. Creating new instances in the same code block however are saved without an issue. This doesn't end here, when saving many-to-many relationships, child models are saved without a hitch, but most of the time, m2m through models are not created. I said most of the time, because every once in a while they are. But even if they're not, the id descriptor in database is incremented so what I'm seeing in the through table is few lines, much less than there should be with non-sequential id-s. What am I dealing with here, does anybody have a clue? I'm out of ideas what to try next. I … -
Django allauth Automatically set mail address as confirmed
I am using django-allauth together with an LDAP-backend. So whenever a users logs in, the mail address is set to the mail address stored in our directory server. I was able to disable email confirmation by setting ACCOUNT_EMAIL_VERIFICATION = "none" But now those users have an unconfirmed mail address attached to their account. More specifically: I am trying to set up a mailman 3 including webUI and connect that to LDAP. Users having the mail address unconfirmed, causes them to not be able to use this address to subscribe to mailing lists. Can I maybe somehow modify the AccountAdapter to automatically confirm mail addresses when a user logs in? -

Django REST Framework custom serializer mixin not working
I'm using Django 2.2 and Django REST framework. In the serializer, I want to have few fields only for creating an instance and not for updating. Means, the user won't be able to change the value of that field once created. Since Django does not provide any default way to do it. I am writing a mixin which when used will use the create_only_fields from the serializer Meta to remove the fields from the request data with PUT/PATCH request. serializer_mixin.py class CreateOnlyFieldsMixin(object): def to_internal_value(self, data): data = super().to_internal_value(data) print(data) if self.instance: # Update request print(data) for x in self.Meta.create_only_fields: if x in data: data.pop(x) return data and using in the serializer like class MySerializer(CreateOnlyFieldsMixin, serializers.ModelSerializer): class Meta: model = MyModel fields = [ 'id', 'name', 'value' ] create_only_fields = ['name'] But now calling any endpoint, it gives an error Cannot call `.is_valid()` as no `data=` keyword argument was passed when instantiating the serializer instance. Putting CreateOnlyFieldsMixin after serializers.ModelSerializer gives no error but has no effect of the mixin. Appending to_internal_value directly in the serializer is working as expected. -

Django shorten query on save to ForeignKeyField
I have 2 models Owners, Relationships Owners class Owner(models.Model): id = models.BigAutoField(primary_key=True) nickname = models.CharField(max_length=20, unique=True) Relationships class Relationships(models.Model): id = models.BigAutoField(primary_key=True) owner = models.ForeignKey(Owner, on_delete=models.CASCADE, related_name='relationship_owner') target_owner = models.ForeignKey(Owner, on_delete=models.CASCADE, related_name='relationship_target_owner') To add rows to Relationships, I used below query. owner1 = Owner.objects.filter(nickname='hide').first() owner2 = Owner.objects.filter(nickname='john').first() Relationships.objects.create(owner=owner1, target_owner=owner2) It is pretty clear. But when I inspect on django-debug-toolbar, it queried to database 3 times. Get nickname=hide from owners table. Get nickname=john from owners table. Insert into hide and john into relationship table. I wonder that, is it a general way? Or, Is there any clear way to performing above query? Thanks! -
How to make a login and signup page using an existing model in Django==2.1
I am a making a student management system with django. I have a Student model which should be modified only by the registrar when a student takes admission. The registrar will use the inbuilt django admin page to add students. class Student(models.Model): first_name = models.CharField(max_length=100, null=False, blank=False) last_name = models.CharField(max_length=100, null=False, blank=False) roll = models.CharField(unique=True, max_length=200, null=False, blank=False) email = models.EmailField(unique=True, null=False, blank=False) age = models.PositiveIntegerField(blank=True) gender = models.CharField(choices=GENDER, default='O', max_length=1) dob = models.DateField(null=False, help_text='YYYY-MM-DD', blank=False) admission_type = models.CharField(choices=ADMISSION_TYPES, default='B', max_length=1) Now I want to be able to use this model to make a login and signup page for students. In the signup page, the student enters his valid roll number and a password. In the login page he must enter this roll and password to go to his dashboard. How can I do this efficiently? I have tried extending AbstractUser but I am unable to make it work. -

Understanding Django localization in templates
I am trying to use two languages in my website, my native, and an english one. I followed the django documentation, from where I copied the code. I have the locale folders and files set up. When I open the site, it already sets the default language to Slovene, which should be English instead, and I don't know why. The main.html looks like this when I open the site: <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/html" xmlns:height="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="sl" > If I understand correctly, the lang="sl" should be lang="en", and I do not know why it defaults to Slovene. Even when I use the form, it shows me both choices (English and Slovene), but when I select English, and click Go, it just refreshes the page, but doesn't change the language. The current language (Slovene) still stays selected, so I'm guessing that somewhere the correct language doesn't get selected. I'm also confused as to why it doesn't default to English when I start the server. Can anyone provide some insight or point me in the right direction? settings.py LANGUAGE_CODE = 'en-gb' TIME_ZONE = 'Europe/Ljubljana' USE_I18N = True USE_L10N = True USE_TZ = True LOCALE_PATHS = [ os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "locale"), ] ugettext = lambda s: s LANGUAGES … -

Calling View in API Request Factory when testing in Django Rest Framework
Whenever we test an API in Django Rest Framework using API Request Factory why do we call the view when we are already passing the url . Look at the following code for better understanding . request = self.factory.post("/api/v1/menu/", data) views = MenuResource.as_view({"post": "post"}) response = views(request) response.render() self.assertEqual(201, response.status_code) In the above code we are calling the url as well as calling the view . View is being called for rendering the view on the url but that is not what my use case is . I just want to test the response code . Is there a way of getting the response code without rendering the view as that is an over kill for my use case . I have looked for other methods except for using API Request Factory but i just wanted to know why does API Request Factory need to call the view . Is there any advantage in comparison to other API Testing modules present in Django Rest Framework .enter code here -

Tests fails after import external library
Hey I'm facing kind of weird problem. I have Django project with 3 applications: core mturk_manager cognito_admin The mturk_manager is the new one.
