Django Admin javascript loads to move to bottom
I took this file from https://jsfiddle.net/emkey08/zgvtjc51 try with my admin. the code is if (!$) { $ = django.jQuery; } $(function($) { $.fn.inputFilter = function(inputFilter) { return this.on("input keydown keyup mousedown mouseup select contextmenu drop", function() { if (inputFilter(this.value)) { this.oldValue = this.value; this.oldSelectionStart = this.selectionStart; this.oldSelectionEnd = this.selectionEnd; } else if (this.hasOwnProperty("oldValue")) { this.value = this.oldValue; this.setSelectionRange(this.oldSelectionStart, this.oldSelectionEnd); } }); }; }(django.jQuery)); $("#id_fin").inputFilter(function(value) { return /^\d*$/.test(value); }); Now this code loads but does not work, but works from console. There were others who faced the same issue and as the suggested answers were to move the script to end of DOM. change_form.htmlwas extended as below. {% extends "admin/change_form.html" %} {% load static %} {% block admin_change_form_document_ready %}{{ block.super }} <script type="text/javascript" src="{% static 'prop/js/number_validate.js' %}"></script> {% endblock %} Still the end result is the same. Can someone suggest something. Thanks in Advance... -
NoReverseMatch - Resetting password in Django
I have found many similar questions to this issue. This question was one of them, but it didn't solve my problem, so I will ask my own question. I'm making a password reset page on my website. But when I go to http://localhost:8000/users/reset-password and enter my email and clicks on 'Reset my password', then Django throws a NoReverseMatch error at me. The error is: NoReverseMatch at /users/reset-password/ Reverse for 'password_reset_confirm' not found. 'password_reset_confirm' is not a valid view function or pattern name. I believe there's something wrong with how I write my urlpatterns. I've tried: Making my own views and templates. Rewriting all my urlpatterns. My Code urls.py: """Defines URL Patterns for users.""" from django.urls import re_path from django.contrib.auth.views import ( LoginView, PasswordResetView, PasswordResetDoneView, PasswordResetConfirmView ) from . import views urlpatterns = [ # Login Page. re_path(r'^login/$', LoginView.as_view(template_name='users/login.html'), name='login'), # Logout Page. re_path(r'^logout/$', views.logout_view, name='logout'), # Registration Page. re_path(r'^register/$', views.register, name='register'), # Reset password page. re_path(r'^reset-password/$', PasswordResetView.as_view(), name='reset_password'), # Password reset done page. re_path(r'^reset-password/done/$', PasswordResetDoneView.as_view(), name='password_reset_done'), # Password reset confirm page. re_path(r'^reset-password/confirm/(?P<uidb64>[0-9A-Za-z]+)-(?P<token>.+)/$', PasswordResetConfirmView.as_view(), name='password_reset_confirm'), ] -

How to deploy Django application using Django-background-tasks on AWS beanstalk?
I am using Django-background-tasks in my application, it worked fine for me on my local machine, I am trying to deploy the website to AWS elastic-beanstalk.

This will be a kind of parallel situation where both commands need to run simultaneously. -
Django Rest Framework - querying only subclass instances
I have the following model inheritance structure: class ModelA(models.Model): # some fields class Type(models.Model): # fields common to all subtypes # ... # and a ForeignKey relationship modelA = models.ForeignKey(ModelA) class Subtype1(Type): # fields specific for this type class Subtype2(Type): # fields specific for this type So, as you can see. I have this inheritance structure. So far, I can list all Type instances (regardless of their subtypes) at once via the following class-based view in views.py: class TypeList(generics.ListAPIView): serializer_class = TypeSerializer def get_queryset(self): pk = self.kwargs['pk'] modelA = ModelA.objects.get(id=pk) return modelA.type_set.all() So, what I does is: The view gets the id (packed within the URL) of the ModelA instance so that it can get the right ModelA instance from the database. Later on, we return all Type instances of ModelA (because through the foreignkey relationship it can access its set of Type objects). It works very well. But I also want to query the subclass types. How I can do that ? When I replace the return statement from previous code with return modelA.subtype1_set.all(), then I get the following error: AttributeError at /modelAs/1/ 'ModelA' object has no attribute 'subtype1_set' That's clear for me because there is no relationship between … -
Django REST Framework: How to create/handle auth_token for existing and new users?
Currently working on a web-app that I'm implementing an API for. This API will be consumed by an iOS application. Django REST Framekwork provides a convenince view to create tokens for users, providing the username+password are included in the headers: from rest_framework.authtoken import views urlpatterns += [ url(r'^api-token-auth/', views.obtain_auth_token) ] Assumption is users will be registering and logging in from both web and app. What's the best way to handle this? My biggest quibble is with existing users that will be logging in from the iOS app (they already have an account, but don't have an auth token). My current plan is this: Create auth tokens for ALL existing users. Integrate token creation upon registration. This way I can cover all cases. But is there a better approach? -
foreign key assignment for child object

How to return int from select option value in plain html in django
I have a plain html form which contains a select option, the select option value should return an int to be stored in the database.

why login form and signup form doesn't show errors?

Setting model field default to shortuuid.uuid() does not generate unique values

Django Rest Framework: DRYer pagination for custom actions
Suppose I need to set up several GET endpoints that look like this objects/past, objects/future. Example: @action(detail=False, methods=["GET"], name="Past Objects") def past(self, request, *args, **kwargs): startdate = datetime.datetime.now() some_user = UserProfile.objects.get(user__username="someuser") queryset = self.queryset.filter( other__attribute__profile=some_user, creation_date__lte=startdate ).order_by("-creation_date") page = self.paginate_queryset(queryset) if page is not None: serializer = self.get_serializer(page, many=True) return self.get_paginated_response(serializer.data) serializer = self.get_serializer(queryset, many=True) return Response(serializer.data) Is there anyway to avoid the page = ... -> serializer part? I have specified this in my ModelViewSet: pagination_class = CustomObjectPagination But it seems this is only auto-applied to methods like get_queryset and not custom actions. Do I have to write this boilerplate every time I specify a custom action like past? page = self.paginate_queryset(queryset) if page is not None: serializer = self.get_serializer(page, many=True) return self.get_paginated_response(serializer.data) serializer = self.get_serializer(queryset, many=True) return Response(serializer.data) -

How to download from another server using Django?

Django: Setting "on_delete=DO_NOTHING" on a ManyToManyField
Django's although useful ManyToManyField is highwired to kill all involved subjects when deleted... with it's internal ForeignKey on_delete=CASCADE. Why is that hard coded?! and what is the simple way to override this behavior? After considering a number of solutions, seems the most clean one is to externally handle delete signal call and set nulls on the values... Is there a cleaner/simpler way? And shouldn't it be a red flag on ManyToManyField? -

Integrating Django Rest Framework and Scrapy
Both Scrapy and Django Frameworks are standalone best framework of Python to build crawler and web applications with less code, Though still whenever You want to create a spider you always have to generate new code file and have to write same piece of code(though with some variation.) I was trying to integrate both. But stuck at a place where i need to send the status 200_OK that spider run successfully, and at the same time spider keep running and when it finish off it save data to database. Though i know the API are already available with scrapyd. But i Wanted to make it more versatile. That lets you create crawler without writing multiple file.
