Django .latest() values
I'm using django for my project. I have a model(table) in which the data is filled by running a process. Each process has threesteps , so all the seven steps are seven rows in table. Below is the sample table: RunId Process ID 403 step1 1 403 step2 2 403 step3 3 404 step1 4 404 step2 5 404 step3 7 Each process has a RunId which is unique to each process. In the front-end, I have a table which shows the process which are run currently now and the current step in which the process is. To get the current step, I used the following django code: RunIds = [403,404] model.objects.filter(RunId__in = RunIds).latest() which gives the last row of each process (that is step 3 in above table). But when I wanted to see the values of the queryset, I ran the following command: model.objects.filter(RunId__in = RunIds).latest().values() Django showed an error saying values() is not an attribute of latest(), I have searched on Google , but wasn't able to find the solution. -
Add method to ModelViewset Endpoint without having to call the method name in the URL [DJANGO]
I have two separate endpoints that "accepts" and "declines" each applicant on the system respectively. Endpoint #1: ...api/v1/applicants/{ID}/accept Endpoint #2: ...api/v1/applicants/{ID}/decline Now, I'm refactoring and trying to combine the Endpoints into one, such that the following URL can be used to accept and decline an applicant, while maintaining : ...api/v1/applicants/{ID}/ The purpose of doing this is to conform the endpoints to REST methodologies. WHAT I TRIED: I tried creating a hidden method [starting with underscore - eg: _someFunction() using a PUT request method]. This didn't work. I know I could also do it through the serializers.py file but don't know how as I haven't seen an example online. Here is the accept class. The decline is similar with minor changes: @action(detail=True, methods=['put']) def accept(self, request, pk): data = request.data if request.user.user_type == "2": if Applicant.objects.filter(id=pk).exists(): applicant = Applicant.objects.get(id=pk) if applicant.status == '1': applicant.status = '2' applicant.save() # Hash the ID of the particular applicant so it can be used for verification # make this a function during refactoring hashids = Hashids(salt=HASH_SALT, min_length=16) hashid = hashids.encode(applicant.id) # send email with the link to the applicant # make this a function too SENDER="xxx@example.com" SUBJECT="Congratulations, you've been accepted!"

Django post data from Javascript function
I'm trying to send a string to a post view via checkbox being checked and unchecked. The part I am having trouble with is on the post view being able to get read the data. I have the name being generated during the templating of the HTML to tell me the id of the item. Then the javascript is supposed to pass the name of the checkbox to the post view and then just print out the post value. Error The error I'm getting is that it returned a "None" so I'm thinking I'm not getting the name right. In the data field of the javascript, I also tried "data:{data:$header}" and I got the same result. Javascript $("input[type='checkbox']").change(function() { // console.log($header = $(this)[0].name) $header = $(this)[0].name $.post({ url: "", data: $header, headers: { 'X-CSRFToken': csrftoken } }) }); Django view.py class CurrentCodeView(LoginRequiredMixin,DetailView): template_name = 'codes/currentCodes.html' def get(self, request, *args, **kwargs): //doing alot of stuff def post(self,request,*args, **kwargs): print(request.POST.get('data')) -
Why does my own login view with my own User model in Django doesn't work?
I have created my own user model in Django: class User(AbstractBaseUser, PermissionsMixin): email = models.EmailField(_('email address'), unique=True) is_active = models.BooleanField(_('active'), default=False) token_num = models.IntegerField(_('token count'), default=0) money_num = models.IntegerField(_('money count'), default=0) objects = UserManager() USERNAME_FIELD = 'email' REQUIRED_FIELDS = [] class Meta: verbose_name = _('user') verbose_name_plural = _('users') So then i decided to do my own login view.

How to plot a matplotlib graph(interactive graph) into django template?
I know this question has been asked several times but I just can't find the best solution. I have an arduino code for taking readings and plotting them through matplotlib. These reading are the volume of water passing through a sensor at a given time. I DO NOT wan't to just display an image on html but the whole interactive graph. Following is my python code for plotting the graph import serial import numpy as np import matplotlib.pyplot as plt from drawnow import * ser = serial.Serial('COM3', baudrate = 9600) f=[] v = [] plt.ion() count=0 def makeFig(): ax1 = plt.subplot(211) plt.ylim(0,50) plt.title('Flowrate') plt.grid(True) plt.ylabel('Flow') plt.plot(f, 'ro-', label='litre/min') plt.legend(loc='upper left') ax2 = plt.subplot(212, sharex=ax1) plt.ylim(0,10000) plt.grid(True) plt.ylabel('volume') plt.plot(v, 'ro-', label='mL') plt.legend(loc='upper left') while True: arduinoData = ser.readline().decode('ascii') dataArray = arduinoData.split(',') flow = float (dataArray[0] ) volume = float ( dataArray[1]) f.append(flow) v.append(volume) drawnow(makeFig) plt.pause(.000001) count=count+1 if(count>60): f.pop(0) v.pop(0) My views.py is something like this: def footprint(request): v = vol() volume = v return render(request, 'main/footprint.html', {'volume': volume}) Please suggest some method to get this graph on HTML as easily as possible. -
configuring google cloud datastore in django project
I don't know how to configure google cloud datastore with Django app. I went through a tutorial that sets database backends to dummy as follows DATABASES = { 'default': { 'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.dummy', } } But in this way my database is not properly configured. I don't understand the logic behind dummy. My admin panel is not accessed either. So my question is how to properly configure cloud datastore with django app. Complete configuration will be appreciated. Thanks. -

Django - Authenticate against existing DB
Apologies if this is simple or my terminology is off, this is my first django project. I haven't been able to find a similar solution for this online. I have an existing application, with a postgres DB where I authenticate my users. I have wrote an application in Django to interact with some tables and display info to the user. I would like to use Django to login and track User sessions against this DB. so I can use the features like {% if user.is_authenticated %} but I don't want to use the migrate command so I don't want to change the existing DB. I can access the table where the account info is as I created a model for it. I see you can use remote user logon param but I cant find any sample or guide on how to use it and am completely lost. Right now I create a login form in the views page. Then get the username and password that is entered, but I don't know what to do next. Also would need to hash the password. Is there a libray in djano that will do that for the app. Any pointers or online guides … -
How to filter Django annotations on reverse foreign key fields

Django: need help in designing relationships between models
I have an app which allows to associate to each client multiple boards, boards where I can upload files relevant for the client to make decisions about how the website page in question will look. So the relationships I need to model are: one client, multiple boards; one board, one client; one board, multiple files; Let's concentrate on the first two models.py class Board(models.Model): title = models.CharField(max_length=120, verbose_name="Titolo") description = models.TextField() files = models.FileField( null=True, blank=True, upload_to = 'clients_download_area', verbose_name = 'Client Reserved File') date = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True, verbose_name = 'Data di pubblicazione') def __str__(self): return str(self.title) class Client(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=30) address = models.CharField(max_length=120) boards = models.ManyToManyField(Board, blank=True) def __str__(self): return str(self.name) Ok, relationship #1 is done. But what if I need to know which client is associated to a board (relationship #2)? If I set a new field to Board Class class Board(models.Model): [...] client = models.ForeignKey(Client, blank = True) of course, when I makemigrations Django complains because it does not know what Client is, since I define it in the next model.

Relative font URLs in CSS cause 403s on S3
I am using presigned URLs with boto3 in order to 'protect' (or at least limit access) to content stored on S3 (I pass a relative path to a Django view, and then generate a absolute presigned URL to the storage location on S3, then pass this as a redirect to the client which then retrieves the expected file): import boto3 class ContentStreamView(LoginRequiredMixin, RedirectView): def get_redirect_url(self, **kwargs): ... relevant code below s3_client = boto3.client('s3', aws_access_key_id=self.storage_details.access_key, aws_secret_access_key=self.storage_details.secret_key, config=Config(signature_version=self.storage_details.signature_version)) # Key will equal the filepath to the content required. return s3_client.generate_presigned_url( ClientMethod='get_object', ExpiresIn=60, Params={ 'Bucket': self.storage_details.bucket_name, 'Key': kwargs['filepath'] } ) ... passes the URL back to the client in the get method of the CBV def get(self, request, *args, **kwargs): ... url = self.get_redirect_url(filepath=path) return HttpResponsePermanentRedirect(url) I have my CORS on S3 bucket set up like the following at the moment: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <CORSConfiguration xmlns="http://s3.amazonaws.com/doc/2006-03-01/"> <CORSRule> <AllowedOrigin>*</AllowedOrigin> <AllowedMethod>GET</AllowedMethod> <AllowedMethod>HEAD</AllowedMethod> <AllowedHeader>*</AllowedHeader> </CORSRule> </CORSConfiguration> I have CORS setup with Django to allow all: CORS_ORIGIN_ALLOW_ALL = True As an example when the browser tries to access https://myapp.com/streamer/some_folder/css/some_css_file.css then the browser is redirected to (and gets the file as expected) to the presigned S3 url: https://examplebucket.s3.amazonaws.com/some_folder/css/some_css_file.css?X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&X-Amz-Credential=credentials%2Faws4_request&X-Amz-Date=20180924T145056Z&X-Amz-Expires=60&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&X-Amz-Signature=signature.

How to detect if obj is being added or edited inside ModelForm.clean?

There isn't an attribute of the model other than the id that I could check on the db if the object already exist (if it exist on the db, it's being added).

Django manager - overriding objects manager of auth.models Group
I'm new to django managers. I'm using python 2.7.15rc and Django 1.8. Normally when I use Group.objects.all() django returns me all groups.

I have a big project so i just want to change: Group.objects.all() -> not filtered to Group.objects.all() -> filtered with my manager without changing word "objects" Group.new_nanager.all(), or class name NewGroupClass.objects.all(). Is this even possible? I will appreciate any help. (I'm new to coding) -

DRF serializing MPTT tree

How to run a script before and after a Python expression is executed in Django shell?
I want to make Django's management command shell to run a script before and after every Python expression is executed. For example: (Think of I'm using command python3 manage.py shell --ipython to get into shell.) In [1]: from api.models import Student In [2]: new_student = Student.objects.create(name="John Doe", number=123) In [3]: new_student.number Out[3]: 123 In [4]: new_student.name Out[4]: "John Doe" I want to send the expressions and outputs of them to a Slack channel.To do that, I need to run a Python script before and after every expression which takes expressions or outputs to log to my Slack channel. For the example above, the script would log expressions, for example "new_student.number", and their outputs -if exist, of course-, for exapmle "123", to the Slack channel. I've tried using django-extensions module, used its shell_plus command with pre and post signals. But it was only calling the signals before and after running the plus_shell. Therefore, what I want to do was running those signal handlers before and after every command/expression. Is there a way to achieve this using a configuration, a module or even writing a custom management command?
