Why is gettext_lazy used in offical Django models?
I was looking at Django code that comes with the package, such as contrib.auth.models, and I noticed that the first argument in almost every field definition is using gettext_lazy along with the name of the field. Something like this: from django.utils.translation import gettext_lazy as _ class MyModel(models.Model): my_field = models.IntegerField(_('my field')) Why is this done? Is it part of some best practice habit? -
Django: cannot register model in admin panel
I've various models in my apps. However, there is this one that I cannot register so I can see it in the admin panel.

Virtual filesystem for users on website with Django backend

Django REST framework: How can I associate with other model in POST request?
I'm really new to creating API and I might misunderstand a lot. I want to associate an object with other model in POST request as I do when posting as a form data in astual site. How can I do using rest framework? my api view is like this @api_view(['GET', 'POST']) def list_comment(request, pk): """ List all comments that belong to an entry or add a comment to the entry """ entry = get_object_or_404(Entry, id=pk) comments = Comment.objects.filter(entry=entry) if request.method == 'GET': serializer = CommentSerializer(comments, many=True) return Response(serializer.data) elif request.method == 'POST': serializer = CommentSerializer(data=request.data) # I want to associate the comment with 'entry' here if serializer.is_valid(): serializer.save() return Response(serializer.data, status=status.HTTP_201_CREATED) return Response(serializer.errors, status=status.HTTP_400_BAD_REQUEST) Also the rest framework page's form is kind of hard to experiment something and I want to change it to form. How can I change it? Even if I select form data, the content form doesn't change. -

Listing all movies of a specific cinema - Foreign Key Django
I am new to Django and I have a question regarding the models and foreignkeys. I have two models: Cinema and Movie. One Cinema can have multiple movies, so I placed the foreign key of cinema in the Movie model. class Cinema(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=255) address = models.CharField(max_length=255) class Movie(models.Model): title = models.CharField(max_length=255) description = models.CharField(max_length=255) posting_cinema = models.ForeignKey('cinemas.Cinema', on_delete=models.CASCADE, null=True) Now I want to list all the movies of a specific Cinema. How can I do it? The idea is the following: The user clicks on a cinema, it opens a page with the cinema details and a button "see movies". If the user clicks this button, a new page opens and I want to have listed there the movies of that specific cinema. I tried to figured out some solutions but sadly I am stuck. I was thinking about Movie.objects.filter(#something) but I am not sure -

Why sites served with nginx have no styling applied
I try to put build of react app on localhost/ using nginx. As far as i understand this, i need to build app with "npm run build" and then serve build dir with static content. After many hours i managed to get it into work with docker and my django service as a api under localhost/api/. But what is not working is css and js on this sites. On any page neither is it react or django endpoints there is only raw html with attached css but not working. After many attempts with changing configs etc. I ended with same raw html. Why on nginx there is no styling on sites even if with inspecting these pages there is linked css to them. This is my nginx.conf http { server { listen 80; listen [::]:80; root /var/www/html; server_name localhost; index index.html index.htm; location /api/ { proxy_pass "http://web:8000/"; } location / { include /etc/nginx/mime.types; try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html; } location ~* \.(?:jpg|jpeg|gif|png|ico|cur|gz|svg|svgz|mp4|ogg|ogv|webm|htc)$ { root /var/www/html; expires 1M; access_log off; add_header Cache-Control "public"; } } } This is part of docker-compose nginx: image: nginx:latest ports: - 80:80 - 443:443 volumes: - ./nginx_conf/:/etc/nginx/ - ./frontend/build/:/var/www/html/ depends_on: - web When i run this app … -

Error on dynamic link libraries (dll) when using GDAL of OSGeo4W in Django
I'm trying to install GeoDjango in my Django project and got weird errors with GDAL. Following Django documentation, I installed GDAL, GEOS, PROJ using OSGeo4W64, for specific, these are packages I selected to install on OSGeo4W64 setup: gdal v2.3.2-2 geos v3.7.0-1 proj v5.2.0-1 I also set my environment variables as documented. When I started my Django project (using runserver), python tried to look for gdal202.dll and raised error Entry Point Not Found: The procedure entry point sqlite3_column_origin_name could not be located in the dynamic link library ...\osgeo4w64\bin\gdal202.dll And one more error with libcurl.dll (installed by OSGeo4W as dependencies): The ordinal 361 could not be located in the dynamic link library ..\osgeo4w64\bin\libcurl.dll I fixed the first error by download latest curl Windows binary version and replaced the existed on in OSGeo4W but still can not figure out how to solve the first error. As the error said, it seemed that there were some code require for sqlite3_column_origin_name function in gdal202.dll. In addition, OSGeo4W also install sqlite3 as dependencies in its bin directory, and I also checked the dll too, it did contain an entry point for function sqlite3_column_origin_name. So it seemd that the entry point sqlite3_column_origin_name was required directly from gdal202.dll, … -

Slow down the rate of requests in Vue.js updated method in Django web application
I have a Vue.js view in a Django template. Vue pulls the data to display in the view from a Django Rest Framework endpoint. My code follows: const app = new Vue({ el: '#app', delimiters: ["[%", "%]"], data: { dedicated_server: [], }, created() { fetch('/api/dedicated-server/{{ object.id }}/') .then(response => response.json()) .then(json => { this.dedicated_server = json; }) }, updated() { /* TODO: Try and limit the number of requests to the API */ fetch('/api/dedicated-server/{{ object.id }}/') .then(response => response.json()) .then(json => { this.dedicated_server = json }) }, }); As you can see I have an updated method which polls the Restful endpoint to update the page if the data changes. This all works fine but it seems to poll the Restful API endpoint about 3 to 5 times a second. This is fine in development but if I have 100 people visiting this page then it is going to kill my server with requests. Is there a way to limit the number of times Vue.js checks to see if the data has been updated? It would be great if you could say check once every 5 seconds. -
How to restrict edit link being shown in template, based on whether the current user is the owner of a blogpost?
I am new to Django and attempting to create a a test blog. Everything is working except I cannot restrict the editing of a blog post to the blog post's owner. My first attempt was successful, but all I did was "Raised 404" in the view function after comparing whether, or not, the current user was the same as the blog post's owner. My second attempt involved adding a comparison in the template. But, all that did was remove the edit link for all users, even the owner. The template code is below. {% extends "blogs/base.html" %} {% block content %} <h3>My Posts</h3> <p> <a href="{% url 'blogs:new_blogpost' %}">Add a new blog post:</a> </p> <ul> {% for blogpost in blogposts %} <li><strong>{{ user.username }} : {{ blogpost.owner }}</strong> <br> <strong>{{ blogpost.title }}</strong> - {{ blogpost.date_added }} <br> {{ blogpost.text }} <br> <p> {% if user.username == blogpost.owner %} <a href="{% url 'blogs:edit_blogpost' blogpost.id %}">edit blog post</a> {% endif %} </p> </li> {% empty %} <li>No posts have been added yet.</li> {% endfor %} </ul> <a href="{% url 'blogs:new_blogpost' %}">Add a new blog post:</a> {% endblock content %} Note, I am using Django 1.8.
