How to enter ForeginKey values in a model with CreateView
I am creating a wiki and need to put in values in the model called revision. This table has a foreigkey to wikipage. My problem is that I am unable to insert values in the revision model. I have tried using def form_valid(self, form) like you would when entering user, without any luck. Models.py class Wikipage(models.Model): title = models.CharField(max_length=100) date_created = models.DateTimeField('Created', auto_now_add=True) def __str__(self): return self.title class Meta: verbose_name_plural = "Wikipages" class Revision(models.Model): wikipage = models.ForeignKey(Wikipage, null=True, on_delete=models.CASCADE, related_name='revisions') content = models.TextField('Content') author = models.ForeignKey(User, null=True, on_delete=models.SET_NULL) last_edit = models.DateTimeField('Last Edited', auto_now=True) comment = models.TextField('Comment', blank=True) class Meta: verbose_name = 'Revision' verbose_name_plural = 'Revisions' ordering = ['-last_edit'] get_latest_by = ['last_edit'] def __str__(self): return self.content View.py Class WikipageCreateView(CreateView): template_name = 'wiki/wikipageform.html' model = Wikipage fields = ['title'] def form_valid(self, form): form.instance.author = self.request.user return super().form_valid(form) The template are as simple as possible with {{ form.as_p }} and all the necessary stuff. -
how to use django_tables2 to filtering table containing data that does not come from django model
I am a newbie in Python and django. I'm creating web application which expose some part of HTTP API of one of my company Security System. Wrapper for the API I keep in file ReducedHXAPI.py. The only data which I keep in db are ip address of the Security System, and authentication data used to login to API. I successfully created a code which shows sortable list of hosts registered in company Security System. Now I'm trying to implement exporting created list of hosts and enabling inline filter for columns. Unfortunately all my attempts (based on tutorials and docs on: https://django-tables2.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html and https://django-filter.readthedocs.io/en/master/ ) produce only errors. Could someone help me in making it works and understanding philosophy of django_tables2 and django_filters, please? models.py: from django.db import models class ServerConnection(models.Model): ConnectionName = models.CharField('Connection Name', max_length=200, help_text="Enter name for this connection") ServerAddress = models.CharField('Server Address', max_length=200, help_text="Enter name or IP address of FireEye HX console") APIUser = models.CharField('API User', max_length=200, help_text="Enter name of user who has access to API") APIPassword = models.CharField('API Password', max_length=200, help_text="Enter name of user who has access to API") def __str__(self): """String for representing the Model object (in Admin site etc.)""" return self.ConnectionName ============================================================ views.py (extract) import … -
Sending email from modal in Django
I'm trying to create a simple contact form in a modal window and send email to console at the beginning but it doesn't work. I've got everything set.

Make ModelForm Field Larger in Django
I have a ModelForm where there is a description field. Django generates the field at its standard size but I'd like to make it, say, twice as large. I seem to be failing at Googling how to do this.

Graphene query hangs indefinitely when testing with pytest
I am trying to test my backend, written in Django 2.2.2 and Python 3. I created some graphql queries which are definitely working when testing with the graphql web interface. When testing with pytest and the graphene test client, however, these queries would always hang indefinitely. I put together a reproducible example which is actually based on the code example from the graphene-django documentation. test_example.py: import pytest import graphene from graphene_django import DjangoObjectType from graphene.test import Client from django.db import models class UserModel(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=100) last_name = models.CharField(max_length=100) class User(DjangoObjectType): class Meta: model = UserModel class Query(graphene.ObjectType): users = graphene.List(User) def resolve_users(self, info): return UserModel.objects.all() schema = graphene.Schema(query=Query) client = Client(schema) def test_user(): query = ''' query { users { name, lastName } } ''' result = client.execute(query) assert 0 # dummy assert This example behaves in the same way (stalls forever, no errors). I am using the latest graphene-django (2.3.2) and pytest (4.6.3). I should probably also mention that I'm running this inside a Docker container. Any ideas why this happens? Is this a bug in the graphene-django library? -

Django migration - IntegrityError: null value in column "id" violates not-null constraint
This one has a slightly different flavor from the previous versions of the same question I've seen so far. In essence, the issue is in the django_migration table itself, when the migration object is being created. DETAIL: Failing row contains (null, orders, 0036_foo_migration, 2019-07-02 20:12:51.903881+00). The suggested solutions tend towards the "nuke-em-all" approach: Getting Null Value vilates integrity error when registering user or trying to migrate However, this is not an option for me as the database has been in production for quite some time, has many records, and cannot experience severe downtime. I cannot figure out why NULL is being recorded as the ID of the Django migration object - I've also tried resetting the auto-increment counter, but to no avail. Has anyone else seen this issue? -

How to stop logging sending message of length in django/python

How to load images on Heroku (Django deployed app)
I've just recently deployed my Django application using heroku, and have an issue where the profile pictures in my blog website don't save (ends up being an image that never loads).

How do I debug individual Django tests in vscode?
I added a launch configuration that allows me to run all tests in dajnge and another that allows me to run the server, both of these work fine. I am looking for a way to debug an individual file, but using ${file} in the arguments gives a normal path which django doesn't like. I want a way to change ${file} into a python path, so that I can debug my tests on a single file. `python manage.py test --noinput --keepdb' python.path.to.my.file' works in the command line. The following configuration seems to be almost right: { "name": "Test File", "type": "python", "request": "launch", "program": "${workspaceFolder}/manage.py", "args": [ "test", "--noinput", "--keepdb", "${file}" ], "django": true }, However, when I run this configuration I get an error, which I think is because ${file} turns into path/to/my/file instead of path.to.my.file. -
Dynamically extending django models using a metaclass
The Problem I am trying to build a framework that automatically extends model classes with additional fields. Here is a short summary of what I am trying to do: Given a model class class Pizza(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=10) price = models.DecimalField(max_digits=10, decimal_places=2) I automatically want to generate a class with two additional fields per class field yielding a class similar to the following: class PizzaGenerated(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=10) name_new = models.CharField(max_length=10) price = models.DecimalField(max_digits=10, decimal_places=2) price_new = models.DecimalField(max_digits=10, decimal_places=2) as you can see, for each of Pizza's properties, an additional field with the _new suffix has been added. I need my solution to work irregardless of the Model's structure. In particular, I am looking for a way that allows the replication of ForeignKey-Fields My Approach The above example of extending the Pizza class is solvable with the following code: class ResMetaclass(models.base.ModelBase): def __new__(cls, name, bases, attrs): fields = { k: v for k, v in attrs.items() if not k.startswith('_') and isinstance(v, models.Field) } attrs_extended = { **attrs, **{fieldname + '_new': fieldtype.clone() for fieldname, fieldtype in fields.items()} } bases = (models.Model,) clsobj = super().__new__(cls, name, bases, attrs_extended) return clsobj class EntityBase(models.Model, metaclass=ResMetaclass): class Meta: abstract = True … -
