Django: urls in html form not working correctly
I am building e-commerce website, I have a shopping cart model with items, I want the customer to select the quantity of a certain item they want to buy, this is the reason I am placing everything in a form to later grab the quantity in views.py by request.POST.getlist('quantity') and pass the data to 'Sales:checkout'. But in there I also have button to delete an individual item form the shopping cart (Sales:delete_cart_item) and a button for emptying the whole cart (Sales:empty_cart). Now to the problem, when I press any of the latter buttons, be it Sales:delete_cart_item or Sales:empty_cart they all execute Sales:checkout, please help me figure out what I'm doing wrong from shopping_cart.html: <form action="{% url 'Sales:checkout' %}" method="POST"> {% csrf_token %} {% for item in items %} <td>{{ item.item.item_name }}</td> <td> <input type="number" name="quantity" min="1" max="{{ item.item.stock_level }}"> </td> <td>{{ item.item.id }}</td> <td> <a href="{% url 'Sales:delete_cart_item' item.id %}"><button>Delete row</button></a> </td> {% endfor %} <form action="Sales:empty_cart" method="POST"> <button type="submit">Empty Cart</button> </form> <button type="submit">Continue to Secure Checkout</button> </form> please ask if you need additional details -
How to get user feedback from Django 2.x ModelAdmin Action
I have an action in a ModelAdmin class. The action may have already been applied to the object selected, so I want to give the user a yes/no popup asking if he/she wants to run the action again. The action is a longish running celery task, but it may be beneficial to run the action again, or it may not. Is there a way to ask the user and get the feedback to make the action do the right thing? Thanks! Mark -
How to use alias in column name in Django
I tried several examples to rename column names before formatting result into json but none of them work. My latest code look like below def employee(request): entries = Employee.objects.annotate(First Name=F('FirstName')). only('FirstName','Email') print(entries) return render_to_response('employee.html',{'employees': serializers.serialize("json",entries, fields=('First Name','Email'))}) This code give below result [{"model": "client.employee", "pk": 1, "fields": {"Email": "employe1@gmail.com"}}] So either only() nor annotate() is not working. -
Gitlab CI - Django functional tests - splinter
I want to run some automation tests on github on a project of mine with a Django framework. Therefore I am using a Django functional test. While executing the test on my local pc works fine, my pipeline is always failing with those tests.

Call property or method of related model in Django
Is it possible to call property or instance method of related object in Django model? One of my models need to access 'parent's' field and show it as it's own property. To check this I've added @property to 'child' model, but unfortunately when trying to call this property in Django Admin I'm receiving: ERRORS: <class 'some_app.admin.AnotherModelAdmin'>: (admin.E108) The value of 'list_display[5]' refers to 'some_app_timestampapplied_operational_mode', which is not a callable, an attribute of 'AnotherModelAdmin', or an attribute or method on 'some_app.AnotherModel'. Simple example: class SomeModel(models.Model): strategy = Charfield(max_length=1, choices=SOME_STRATEGIES) ... class AnotherModel(models.Model): related_parent_model = models.ForeignKey('SomeModel', on_delete=models.CASCADE) @property def applied_strategy(self): return self.related_parent_model.strategy -
Heroku Pipelines and/or Travis CI
We are using Heroku to host our Django application. We also use Heroku Pipelines with continuous integration and tests running after each push to our staging. Is there any advantage/difference in using Travis CI instead? I see it in so many projects but haven't used it before. -
None model related field as SlugRelatedField to Serializer
I've added a view to create a new user, this takes a username, password, email and a slug field to link to a permission. { "username" : "TestUsername", "email" : "TestUsername@outlook.com", "password" : "Password01", "group" : "partial-permission" } The view for this request is; class CreateUserSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer): group = serializers.SlugRelatedField(queryset=CompanyGroup.objects.all(), slug_field='slug_field') class Meta: model = User fields = ['company', 'email', 'username', 'password', 'token', 'group'] read_only_fields = ['token'] write_only_fields = ('password',) def create(self, validated_data): return User.objects.create_user(**validated_data) I'm trying to use the SlugRelatedField to link automatically to the Group passed in the slug field and pass this onto my create_user method in my model. class UserManager(BaseUserManager): def get_queryset(self): return UserQuerySet(self.model, using=self._db).active_and_not_deleted() def create_user(self, username, email, password, group=None, company=None): user = self.model(username=username, email=self.normalize_email(email), company=company) user.set_password(password) return user When doing this I'm getting the exception: AttributeError at /users/ Got AttributeError when attempting to get a value for field `group` on serializer `CreateUserSerializer`.

Handle POST and GET Mehtods in the same view with Django and Full Calendar JS
first, sorry for my bad english, i'm very redundant with my explanations because i'm newbie in this programming languaje and this community.

django-avatar form location issue
I'm new to django/python and I'm using the django-avatar plugin (https://github.com/grantmcconnaughey/django-avatar) so users can upload images as avatars on our website. I've been trying to debug this issue for a day and I'm not sure what I'm missing. The issue I'm running into is that I copied the "change.html" form into our myaccount.html page and I get the following: "You haven't uploaded an avatar yet. Please upload one now." That's incorrect since I already have an image uploaded and all I want is the proper change form with the input field to appear that populates once an avatar is uploaded. The form I want generated appears properly when I navigate to "/avatar/change/" when i want it to be "/myaccount/change/". Does anyone have any ideas how to solve this issue? Thanks! myacccount.html <p>{% trans "Your current avatar: " %}</p> {% avatar user %} {% if not avatars %} <p>{% trans "You haven't uploaded an avatar yet. Please upload one now." %}</p> {% else %} {% endif %} <form enctype="multipart/form-data" method="POST" action="{% url 'avatar_add' %}"> {{ upload_avatar_form.as_p }} <p>{% csrf_token %} <input type="submit" value="{% trans " Upload New Image " %}" /> </p> </form> views.py from django.shortcuts import render from django.http import … -

How to add Tags in place of groups to Django posts
Intro: I have a simple project with User, Post and Group. Users can make posts and they have to choose which group the post will belong to. Members (Users) can join and leave groups. If members join a group they see all new articles in that post on their wall. Members cannot create a new Group. They have to select from Existing groups to which their post will belong example: A post on football will belong to the group Football What I want: I want users to be able to link one post to multiple existing groups example: A post on what to eat before a big game.(This post can belong to 3-5 different groups like Football, Soccer, Rugby, Hockey etc). Similar to the Stackoverflow style where you can choose upto 5 tags for your questions. This way this post will belong to all 5 groups. See image below I want to achieve something exactly like this. My Post and Group Models below: class Post(models.Model): user = models.ForeignKey(User, related_name='posts') group = models.ForeignKey(Group, related_name='posts') title = models.CharField(max_length=250, unique=True) message = models.TextField() class Group(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=250, unique=True) description = models.TextField(default='', blank=True) members = models.ManyToManyField(User, through='GroupMember') class GroupMember(models.Model): user = models.ForeignKey(User, related_name='membership') … -
How do I prevent Django's admin interface from silently suppressing errors?
Suppose I have a simple Django model: class MyModel(Model): created = models.DateTimeField(default=datetime.utcnow) @property def my_property(self): raise ValueError('Is anyone there') Then in my admin GUI, I show my_property as a read-only field. @admin.register(MyModel) class MyModelAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin): ... readonly_fields = ['my_property'] To my surprise, if any exception is raised in generating a value in the Django admin GUI, Django suppresses the error and just shows a "-" as the value. It took me some time to realize this was the case. Is there a way to force Django to show exceptions when exceptions occur? -
Django - PubSub or workflows or combined?
I am building a chemistry application with django that focuses on reactions. It bonds an atom to an existing molecule. The reaction event triggers a bunch of (a) validations to make sure the feasibility of the molecule checks out (b) subsequent events as the molecule Nested Functions: So I could have my logic layer just keep feeding Python functions into other Python functions, but my fear is that this will become a tangled mess quickly. I also want to have a record of the steps with success/fail and other basic stats, so one hanging process is probably not the best. PubSub: So I could have multiple functions that subscribe/ listen for a reaction and then run/ don't run based on criteria. Using something like django-redis-pubsub. Workflows: Enter workflows. I suppose I could structure the whole reaction process as a giant workflow which would have better transaction atomicity? Should I combine this approach with a pubsub? rule NAME: input: "path/to/inputfile", "path/to/other/inputfile" output: "path/to/outputfile", "path/to/another/outputfile" script: "path/to/script.py" -
How to update python code and see changes live using daphne, Django Channels?

Where do files created in Django go?
I have a view where I create a file (call it .something.txt). I see that I can access it from another view as well. Also, it is in the same folder where I have my manage.py.

Is what I am doing safe, from a privacy perspective, if I store the data as an encrypted text file in the same way? -
Django ViewSet filtering with Foreign Key name
I have 2 Django models with the following structure: class Title(models.Model): id = models.AutoField(primary_key=True) code = models.CharField(unique=True, max_length=256) class Component(models.Model): id = models.AutoField(primary_key=True) code = models.CharField(unique=True, max_length=256) title = models.ForeignKey('Title', on_delete=models.PROTECT) So i have a ComponentViewSet as follows: class ComponentViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet): queryset = Component.objects.all() serializer_class = ComponentSerializer filter_fields = { 'id': ['exact'], 'name': ['exact', 'istartswith'], 'title': ['exact'], } So if i want to filter Components via Title the URL is http://localhost:8010/api/components/?title=1.
