Set initial values on ModelMultipleChoiceField CheckboxSelectMultiple widget using list
I have a ModelMultipleChoiceField in a form which is generated with a queryset. class NewEvaluationPriorityForm(forms.Form): priority_field = forms.ModelMultipleChoiceField( queryset=None, widget=forms.CheckboxSelectMultiple, required=False ) def __init__(self, user_type, qi_list, hgiours_list, is_hgiours_evaluation, school, *args, **kwargs): super(NewEvaluationPriorityForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs) if is_hgiours_evaluation is True: priorities = Priority.objects.get_new_hgiours_evaluation_priorities( hgiours_list, school ) else: priorities = Priority.objects.get_new_evaluation_priorities( qi_list, user_type, school ) self.fields['priority_field'].queryset = priorities self.fields['priority_field'].label = '' What I want to do is to set the initial values of the different checkboxes in the field using a list. I have tried the following (where I know there are 5 objects in the queryset): self.fields['priority_field'].initial = [True, False, True, False, True] But that doesn't work. What is it that I need to do? -
In Django where should I check if user is not logged in?
Django has two approaches. Regular DRF restricts user on Middleware level. So not logged in user doesn't reach anything. GraphQL, on contrary, uses "per method" approach. So middleware passes all the request and each method. But afterward method calls decorator. What is more secure and more proper approach? -
Django: Trying to select random result, but get Object has no len() error
I am building a Django-Rest API that returns a random object from a queryset class AdViewSet(viewsets.ReadOnlyModelViewSet): serializer_class = AdSerializer queryset = Ad.objects.none() def get_queryset(self): if 'verify' in self.request.GET: # Return random object random_ad = Ad.objects.filter(verified=False).order_by('?').first() # return random_ad return random_ad return Ad.objects.all().order_by('-pk') But this code returns the object of type 'Ad' has no len() error. Removing the .first() command causes the API to return a queryset, so I know it is getting results. But I need a single (random) instance. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? -

Mark GeoJSON information on OpenLayers map. Backend in django
I started writing a project that will run on a webserver. The backend is written in Python using the framework Django. The view this question is about shows a map. For doing this, I used openlayers. Obviously, this works within the browser. (The template and the static JavaScript file is very similar to the code in their quickstart example.) Where to go from here? I have some data given in GeoJSON format. Any Feature if of the Type Multipolygon. This data is not likely to change often. I want to show the areas that are covered be colored red or green. (Color and radius around points are given.) What's the problem? Well, I have a huge amount of data. Think of 200 Megabytes of raw json, converted to over 8000 points. (Since the first try was writing a browser application only, it creates VectorLayers that contains all those points. Yes, this works, but the performance is horrible. Think of an hour of loading. Try it out yourself: already on a webiste; the code, just pack it all on a webserver.) What's the goal? I guess I could speed up the site since there is no need to convert the GeoJSON ... -

nginx cant't serve files correctly when deploy a django project with nginx and uwsgi on ubuntu 16.04

django get token and userid after successful registration
I'm building a server with custom registration pages using rest and django (latest versions). I have 3 fields required (username unique, phone_number unique, password) and 1 optional. Schema is: User sends phone-number to server, we check if user exists and if don't - ask for registration. In both cases I want to send token and user_id as answer if credentials are correct. The topics from 2016's are not working in my case, i think because of latest framework and python updates. That's what i have now in view.py: class RegisterView(APIView): # works fine except it doesnt send token and user_id on finish renderer_classes = [renderers.JSONRenderer] def post(self, request): phone = request.POST.get('phone_number') name = request.POST.get("name", '') username = request.POST.get('username') password = request.POST.get('password') """check if some fields are missing""" try: User.objects.create_user(username, phone, password, name) return Response("""there should be token and user_id""") except KeyboardInterrupt: return Response("""error""") class CheckPhone(APIView): # works fine renderer_classes = [renderers.JSONRenderer] def post(self, request): phone_number = request.POST.get('phone_number') try: User.objects.get(phone=phone_number) return Response("""asks for login""") except User.DoesNotExist: return Response("""asks for registration""") class auth_(authentication.BaseAuthentication): def authenticate(self, request): # Get the username and password phone = request.POST.get('phone_number', None) password = request.POST.get('password', None) if not phone or not password: return Response("""no credentials""") credentials = { ... -

Not a valid UUID while filtering queryset in Django
I'm using Django to make a simple booking system with a PostgreSQL as my database of choice. I have two models connected through M2M relation. Reservation class Reservation(models.Model): id = UUIDField(primary_key=True, default=uuid.uuid4, editable=False) service_start = models.DateTimeField(db_index=True) pax_name = models.CharField(max_length=50) pax_last_name = models.CharField(max_length=50) tags = models.ManyToManyField(Tag, related_name='tags') created_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True) updated_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True) Tag class Tag(models.Model): id = UUIDField(primary_key=True, default=uuid.uuid4, editable=False) name = models.CharField(max_length=30) slug = models.SlugField(max_length=255) created_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True) updated_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True) def __str__(self): return self.name Now, when I make a simple filter query to find Reservations with exact set of tags, I get an error. List of tags ('Tags: ', [<Tag: ls>]) Filter query Reservation.objects.filter(tags__exact=tags) With an error ValidationError at / [u"'[<Tag: ls>]' is not a valid UUID."] How can I filter a query with a set of exact tags? -
Django migrations ignoring db_table when set using metaclass
I'm using a metaclass to automatically set my Django model db table names from camel case to '_' seperated names, e.g. MyGreatModel will have a table name like appname_my_great_model instead of the default appname_mygreatmodel: class PrettyModelBase(ModelBase): def __new__(cls, name, bases, attrs): super_new = ModelBase.__new__(cls, name, bases, attrs) module_name = camel_to_underscore(name) model_module = sys.modules[cls.__module__] app_label = super_new.__module__.split('.')[-2] db_table = '%s_%s' % (app_label, module_name) if not getattr(super_new._meta, 'proxy', False): super_new._meta.db_table = db_table return super_new class BaseModel(models.Model): __metaclass__ = PrettyModelBase class Meta: abstract = True class MyGreatModel(BaseModel): somefield = models.TextField(default="") However migrations doesn't seem to pick up this db_table name. If I run makemigrations, then CreateModel doesn not show db_table in the options for this model. If I hard-code it in the class Meta of MyGreatModel then it does. Moreover if I check the SQL to be run with python manage.py sqlmigrate... then it shows that it will create the appname_mygreatmodel table, not the delimited table name. However if I do run this migration and then examine the model in the Django shell, then MyGreatModel._meta.db_table shows my_great_model as I would expect from my metaclass. Why is Django migrations not picking up the db_table here? I'm using Django==1.10.5. Thanks for any help -
Send mail *without* mail queue in Django
Im using django_yubin to send mails via its mail queue. However, there are a few instances where I want to send the mail immediately without putting it on the queue. For example, when a user registers or resets their password. Or certain admin emails. I tried using Django's built in email system by from django.core.mail import send_mail as send_mail_core and then using the send_mail_core() function. This didnt work - looks like the send_mail in django.core.mail gets overridden by yubin Thanks for your help -

Is Django the right framework for me?
All I knew about Django before getting into it was that it allowed Python to be visible on the web. The more I get into it, the more I fear this won't do specifically what I had in mind as I feel I'm being pigeon-holed into a certain coding design whilst following the official tutorials. In short, I like to prototype ideas that I can code quickly in a hacky way. I like to manually create MySQL tables and perform extensive custom conditional update queries on them. For example, my current python code looks similar to if (some_conditional): c.execute("UPDATE t2 SET r2=r1-r2 WHERE regp-?<=5 AND.... As you can see, such a query involves lots of manual conditionals and quick manipulation of the MySQL database. I was hoping Django would quickly allow a way to UPDATE things, SELECT them, and print the results in the browser. Instead I'm embarking upon a tutorial that feels like I need to complete 10 degrees to understand it and all its abstraction. Django seems to abstract SQL entirely, forcing me to use classes and OOP methodology to update database "objects". The ability to manually hack and manipulate things just doesn't seem to be there in ... -
set the choices of ChoiceField in Django Rest

What is the best practices of Django REST framework JWT in microservice
I have two separated services: one(A) for authentication, one(B) for content in short. When B receive a request with token, it asks A for authentication. If A says Ok. The request is authenticated. The case is that B don't have User model to get User object from payload that decoded from token. So I decided to user UserStruct to construct User object field by field and assign to request.user in B for further use. Is there any better ways to do that? Any help is really appreciated -
django template and version
I googled the latest version of django and it is 2.0.6 on the official django documentation. But the versions that are given on the official page are just 2.0, 2.1, 1.9 etc. So I was just wondering if the documentation for 2.0 is for all version like 2.0.5, 2.0.6, 2.0.7 etc. Because there is no documentation for version 2.0.6. But again the version 2.0 is different and it is installable with pip. I am totally confused with this. Earlier I was using django 2.0.6 and I had a problem with the template. I first started my project with name web and then made a app named music. Inside that I made a template directory and inside that another music folder and placed my index.html file inside that. so overall the path like this web/music/template/music/index.html. Now I was using render from django.shortcuts. I referenced the index.html file as music/index.html in the view.py file in music directory. But it is unable to find the file and it is just showing error. Pls help me solve this problem. I thought it could be a version problem.
