Django allauth override default template with custom template
I'm currently trying to override a Django allauth template. So far, I followed all the recommendations on similar questions to mine: overriding default templates of django-allauth How to override template in django-allauth? However, my goal is just change the default Django allauth without making new views or forms. (In previous projects I used to override the default forms constructor classes with the helper of Django Crispy Forms which is not possible in this particular case.) I believe there is a way to ignore the {{form}} variable and just define a working form from scratch. Currently, I have my template being successfully being displayed when I navigate to 'account_login'. However, when I press Sign In nothing happens. Here is my myapp/templates/account/login.html file: {% extends 'base.html' %} {% load staticfiles %} {% block title %} Sign In to {{ SITE_NAME }} {% endblock %} {% block body %} <div class="centered"> <img class="logo" src={% static 'imgs/logo.png' %} alt="" width="100" height="100"> <form id="login_form" class="form-signin" method="post" action="{% url 'account_login'%}"> {% csrf_token %} <label for="inputLogin" class="sr-only">Email address or Username</label> <input type="text" id="login" class="form-control" placeholder="Email or Username" required autofocus> <label for="inputPassword" class="sr-only">Password</label> <input type="password" id="password" class="form-control" placeholder="Password" required> <div class="note mb-3"> <label> <input type="checkbox" value="remember" id="remember"> Remember … -

Django dictionary not passed?
Trying to pass python dictionary to my django template. But it seems to not be passed while rendering. I have read documentation and few sites, but can't find solution. It must be simple... #views.py def home(request): context = {} links = getLinks() for link in links: splited = getRate(link).split() # print(splited) key = splited[1] context[key] = float(splited[0]) print(context) return render(request, 'home.html', context) home.html: {% for key, value in context.items %} <a href="{{key}}">{{value}}</a> {% endfor %} I print dictionary in my terminal, so it definitely exists and contains everything I need. But can't refer to it in my template. -

How to access database from other app in Django in same project
I am new to Django, the way I understand the database migration structure is allotted per app. If I have several apps inside the project, how do I refer the models/data in database on another apps? Let's say I have these apps: Home Expense Income I have created User, Balance, Expense, Income models on Home app. How do I access these data on Expense and Income? Is there a better way to implement project structure as I am not quite sure that my current implementation is the right one. Is it correct to implement models that should be accessible from all apps within a certain app? -

How to redirect 2 pages backwards in django

The idea is to make an interactive map (using googlemap API) I have successfully imported a map. Next I want to make dynamic markers. So lets say i have some customers.

Django channels: pass form data to consumer
I'm learning Django and I'm working in a webpage where I need to offer the user the possibility to log in to an external service. I can't simply use the traditional Django views system because otherwise, I would lose the connection with a simple refresh. For that reason, I thought about using Django Channels. My problem now is how do I send the data to the consumer class? Using the consumers.py given in the tutorial, I would like to send data from a form submission to the connect function and then make the connection if the login to the external service is ok. Then, in that scenario, I could use the clientinstance and the methods from these external services. So, in short, is it possible to send form data the consumer? And would this be ok, with respect to security in case of sensitive data? from channels.generic.websocket import AsyncWebsocketConsumer import json class ChatConsumer(AsyncWebsocketConsumer): async def connect(self): ###### ## login to external service ###### #get login data from form submited when the websockted is initiated username = ... pass = ... self.client = Client(cd['username'], cd['password']) if client: await self.accept() # Receive message from room group async def chat_message(self, event): message = … -

It would be easier if i would get error status 4xx but i have no idea why post method could receive code 200. My API view works fine so this must be problem with test code but I really don't have idea what may cause this problem. Maybe I'm wrong and status code 200 is ok, but I think that post method should receive status 201. test_api.py def test_post_logged_in(self): product = Product.objects.get(id=1) self.client.login(username='test', password='test123') data = { 'nick': self.user.id, 'rate': '1/5', 'content': 'here is comment', 'product': product.id } response = self.client.post(reverse('add_comments', kwargs={'id': product.id}), data, format='json') self.assertEqual(response.status_code, 201, f'expected Response code 201, instead get {response.status_code}') views.py class CreateComment(APIView): def get_object(self, id): try: return Product.objects.get(id=id) except Product.DoesNotExist: raise Http404 def get(self,request, id): product = self.get_object(id) serializer = ProductSerializer(product) return Response(serializer.data) def post(self, request,id): serializer = CommentSerializer(data=request.data) if serializer.is_valid(): serializer.save(nick=request.user, product=self.get_object(id)) return Response(serializer.data) return Response(serializer.errors, status=status.HTTP_400_BAD_REQUEST) -
How to filter quaryset from django forms
I'm trying to get a dropdown menu that shows current users List objects Models.py class List(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=100, default="") user = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE, related_name='lists') def __str__(self): return self.name class Meta: unique_together = ['name', 'user'] I tought I could do something like this in forms: class data_form(forms.Form): def get_user(self, request): user = request.user.pk selection = forms.ModelChoiceField(queryset=List.objects.filter(user=user).all()) num = forms.IntegerField() but first of all it doesnt work and second multiple sources told that you are not supposed to have requests at model's and requests should always be on views level. So I changed the queryset to this: class data_form(forms.Form): selection = forms.ModelChoiceField(queryset=List.objects.all()) num = forms.IntegerField() this basicly works but problem is it shows all objects, even the ones that are created by other users and I cant have that. Can I filter that somehow in views or something? views.py: @login_required def app(request): form = list_form form2 = data_form user = request.user.pk user_lists = List.objects.filter(user=user) context = {'user_lists': user_lists, 'form': form, 'form2': form2} return render(request, 'app/app.html', context) In views I already render buttons filtered with query set with these objects and it works with user and user_lists but how do I do it for "form2"? -
Django - how to pass temporary data from one view to another in order to return information from api
Hello, so I would like to pass the 'name' variable in the form_valid function that is located within my SearchView class (FormView) to the PlayerList class (TemplateView,SearchView). I want to do this because I want to access the name variable from SearchView, and on the PlayerList view use it to search an API database and display information. Must I save it to a database before I continue? Or is there a way efficiently solve this problem?
