Is there any way in which I can edit "https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/bulma/0.7.5/css/bulma.css" file?
I tried doing it by creating a css file style.css in the same folder, copied the source code of the bulma link provided and then linked it to my html doc. But then, it shows no css features at all. -
Ajax returning empty string in Django view
I am developing a web application through Django and I want to get information from my javascript to a view of Django in order to access to the database. I am using an ajax call as this post shows. I am calling the js in html by an onclick event : sortedTracks.html ... <form action="{% url 'modelReco:sortVideo' video.id %}"> <input type="submit" value="Validate" onclick="ajaxPost()" /> </form> ... clickDetection.js function ajaxPost(){ $.ajax({ method: 'POST', url: '/modelReco/sortedTracks', data: {'tracksSelected': tracksSelected}, success: function (data) { //this gets called when server returns an OK response alert("it worked! "); }, error: function (data) { alert("it didnt work"); } }); }; So the information I want to transfer is tracksSelected and is an array of int like [21,150,80] views.py def sortedTracks(request): if request.is_ajax(): #do something print(request) request_data = request.POST print(request_data) return HttpResponse("OK") The ajax post works well but the answer I get is only an empty Query Dict like this : <QueryDict: {}> And if I print the request I get : <WSGIRequest: GET '/modelReco/sortedTracks/?tracksSelected%5B%5D=25&tracksSelected%5B%5D=27&tracksSelected%5B%5D=29'> I have also tried to change to request_data=request.GET but I get a weird result where data is now in tracksSelected[] -
how to implement ExpressionWrapper, F and Sum properly in django
I have two models Product and Damaged. Product has quantity of an item and Damaged has the number of damaged quantity of that item. In my template list_product I have listed total quantity of each product. When I add number of damaged_quantity into the Damaged model it should be deducted from the number of total quantity in Product. I have implemented the following code. Everything works fine. The only problem I am having is if the total number of quantity in Product is equal to number of damaged_quantity from Damaged it doesn't show 0 in the template of product_list. How to solve it? models.py class Damaged(models.Model): product = models.ForeignKey('Product', on_delete=models.CASCADE) damaged_quantity = models.IntegerField(default=0) class Product(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=250) quantity = models.IntegerField() views.py def list_product(request): products = Product.objects.annotate(damaged_product_quantity=Sum( 'damagedproducts__damaged_quantity')).annotate( real_quantity=ExpressionWrapper(F('quantity')-F('damaged_product_quantity'), output_field=IntegerField())) damaged_products = Damaged.objects.all() return render(request, 'pos/list_product.html', {'products': products, 'damaged': damaged_products}) list_product template {% if not product.real_quantity %} {{product.quantity}} {% elif product.quantity == product.real_quantity %} 0 {% else %} {{ product.real_quantity }} {% endif %} -
My generic DetailView not showing list of items
I am following a django tutorial series, the music website contains the ListView which contains Albums(this is showing) but the DetailView Containing the list of songs in each Album is not showing.

Django polymorphic and GenericRelation field. How get all filtered objects?

How to add an extra field in Django model form only when the object exists?
Lets say I have a model form like this: class PersonForm(forms.ModelForm): full_name = forms.CharField(max_length=255) class Meta: model = Person fields = '__all__' The full_name field is not a database field. I want to have the field full_name appear only if the object exists, ie, not on add, and the set the initial value to instance.first_name + ' ' + instance.last_name. On add, because the first_name and last_name don't exist yet, the field full_name is simply not shown. How can I do this? Moreover, will this extra field affect my save process? -
Instance of a new object still uses the value which was in the previously used object
I am developing a web application using Python and Django. I got a problem while creating a new object. I created the object and stores the data in db and returned the response to the client, but the next request when i try to create a object i found some of the variables are already defined with the values which were in the last request. Here is the code: cart_object = json.loads(request.POST.get("cart")) cart: CartModel = CartModel() cart.cart_id = IntHelper.string_to_int(cart_object.get("cart_id"), None) cart.entity_id = IntHelper.string_to_int(cart_object.get("entity_id"), None) cart.user_id = IntHelper.string_to_int(cart_object.get("user_id"), None) # cart.cart_item = [] list_items = cart_object.get("cart_item") for i in range(len(list_items)): cart_item: CartItemModel = CartItemModel() cart_item.cart_id = IntHelper.string_to_int(cart.cart_id, None) cart_item.user_id = IntHelper.string_to_int(cart.user_id, None) cart_item.category_id = IntHelper.string_to_int(list_items[i].get("category_id"), None) cart_item.quantity = FloatHelper.string_to_float(list_items[i].get("quantity"), None) cart_item.seller_bid_price = FloatHelper.string_to_float(list_items[i].get("seller_bid_price"), None) cart_item.seller_gst_percentage = FloatHelper.string_to_float(list_items[i].get("seller_gst_percentage"), None) cart_item.files = list_items[i].get("files") cart.cart_item.append(cart_item) cart_service: CartService = CartService() cart_object = cart_service.add(cart) return self.send_response(cart_object) Here everytime i create CartModel object, it has list of CartItemModel. In the 2nd call to this method, after i create the CartModel object. All other fields are empty and the list of CartItemModel has the value as the in the previoulsly created object class CartModel: def init(self, cart_id=None, entity_id=None, user_id=None, cart_date=None, status=None, cart_item=[]): self.cart_id = cart_id self.entity_id = entity_id … -
Pagination: Filtering Filters
We have an E-Commerce Platform that has a "product catalog" page with 1000's of results. This catalog is paginated (offset pagination). There are filters which, when activated, filter the results. Our problem is that our filters are not limited to the result set, and are therefore nonsensical. Example: Result Set: Blue Car Red Car Blue Book Yellow Book Filters: Colors: [Blue, Red] Items: [Car, Book] Companies like Amazon, etc. limit the filters shown, so when someone filters on "Book", the only colors available are [Blue, Yellow]. My question is: how is it possible to filter the filters unless the entire queryset is evaluated? And, if the entire queryset is evaluated, why do companies like Amazon use pagination? Note: My team is using Django with DRF and GraphQl backends, but this should not make a difference. -

Migrating to Django rest framework
Currently I am using node as backend and looking forward to shift my project to django-rest-framework. In node I used firebase-auth and MySQL and have a table called FIREBASE_USERS with email and firebase_uid fields. I was thinking of building my own custom auth for drf but can't figure out on using my FIREBASE_USERS table instead of django Users model. I read that django provides settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL to set your own custom model but the documentation uses AbstractUser class to create that and I don't want to mess with my tables since the tables are used in other projects too. Any suggestions would be appreciated. -
