Elastic search querying
I'm having some issues with my elastic search querying. I have the following fields, patientid, patientfirstname, patientmidname, and patientlastname. I want to be able to enter in either one of those 4 fields and get matching results returned. So far my query works only if I use a patientid. If i type something like harry (firstname) or middle/last name it doesn't query it. Individual term querying works for each of them. q = Q({"bool": { "should": [ {"term":{"patientid":text}}, {"wildcard":{"patientlastname":"*"+text+"*"}}, {"wildcard":{"patientfirstname":"*"+text+"*"}}, {"wildcard":{"patientmidname":"*"+text+"*"}} ]}}) r = Search().query(q)[0:10000] -

Default list of dicts using JSONField in Django
Django 2.0, Django-Rest-Framework 3.8, Python 3.6 I'm using a Postgres database and am trying to set up the following as a default value for the JSONField: from django.db import models from django.contrib.postgres.fields import JSONField class TrainerProfile(models.Model): """data required to pull up trainer profile""" specific_workouts = JSONField(default=[{"specific": "standard session", "price": 100.00, "units": 1, "hours_per_unit": 1}, {"specific": "standard session", "price": 250.00, "units": 3, "hours_per_unit": 1}, {"specific": "standard session", "price": 300.00, "units": 5, "hours_per_unit": 1}]) def __str__(self): return str(self.specific_workouts) From the Django docs, it reads: If you give the field a default, ensure it’s a callable such as dict (for an empty default) or a callable that returns a dict (such as a function). Incorrectly using default={} creates a mutable default that is shared between all instances of JSONField. I want to provide a list containing dicts as the default. I'm allowed to post a list of dicts through raw data or the browsable api in Django Rest Framework, but I need to know how to set this up by default. I want it to post this as the default: "specific_workouts": [ { "price": 100.0, "units": 1, "specific": "standard session", "hours_per_unit": 1 }, { "price": 250.0, "units": 3, "specific": "standard session", "hours_per_unit": 1 … -
How to block a specific user agent in Apache
I'm configuring my Django app to email me errors (exceptions). Normally no problem - but my email is hosted on Office 365, and it seems that Microsoft is automatically scanning and loading URLs within emails. The result is that it hits the URL in my Django app, and causes another error... and another email. End result: a charming little mail loop which sends me 50+ messages within a few seconds. I found entries like this in my apache logs: 157.55.39.163 - - [22/Aug/2018:17:30:05 +0000] "GET /testerror HTTP/1.1" 500 5808 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/534+ (KHTML, like Gecko) BingPreview/1.0b" I want to block access to the user agent (containing "BingPreview"), so I can prevent this loop. I put this into my virtualhost: SetEnvIf User-Agent "^.*BingPreview.*$" bad_user <Directory /path/top/my/app/> <Files wsgi.py> Require not env bad_user </Files> </Directory> But when I reload apache, I get the error negative Require directive has no effect in <RequireAny> directive. -
How to override get_swagger_view to enable django-rest-swagger to display all endpoints?
By default django-rest-swagger displays my views which do not require authentication(JWT Auth in this case). I tried to override the default get_swagger_view shortcut by adding IsAuthenticated in the permission classes to include the views which require authentication also. But as soon as I visit the rendered docs this time, I get No operations defined in spec! How do I display both the views which do and do not require authentication. -
When revoking Google credentials, should one delete the saved credentials?
I'm adapting the Flask example at https://developers.google.com/api-client-library/python/auth/web-app to a Django app. I have a question about the revoke view, which in Flask is: @app.route('/revoke') def revoke(): if 'credentials' not in flask.session: return ('You need to <a href="/authorize">authorize</a> before ' + 'testing the code to revoke credentials.') credentials = google.oauth2.credentials.Credentials( **flask.session['credentials']) revoke = requests.post('https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/revoke', params={'token': credentials.token}, headers = {'content-type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'}) status_code = getattr(revoke, 'status_code') if status_code == 200: return('Credentials successfully revoked.' + print_index_table()) else: return('An error occurred.' + print_index_table()) Note that in the Flask example, a dictionary with the information needed to pass to the google.oauth2.credentials.Credentials constructor is saved in the session, but it is recommended in the code sample to store it persistently in a real application. What I'm wondering is: after revoking the token, should we in this example not do del flask.session['credentials'] to prevent the /authorize view from encountering revoked credentials the next time? The reason I'm asking this is because in my Django application I'm getting a RefreshError: RefreshError at /create-meeting ('invalid_grant: Token has been expired or revoked.', '{\n "error": "invalid_grant",\n "error_description": "Token has been expired or revoked."\n}') Here is my sample code: import datetime import requests from django.utils import timezone from django.conf import settings from django.shortcuts … -
Sum of child nodes in accounting hierarchy in django/python
How do you create a sum of child nodes into a a parent node for multiple levels in an accounting hierarchy with Python/Django?

Django iframe load denied by xframe options even after view is set to @xframe_options_exempt

Understanding which database to use as the 'NAME' when connecting to an AWS RDS MySQL database using Django
I created a new AWS mysql database instance with RDS, and I'm trying to connect to it from my Django app on my machine. Django requires the default database connection to be formatted like so in settings.py: DATABASES = { 'default': { 'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql', 'NAME': 'innodb', 'USER': 'username', 'PASSWORD': 'password', 'HOST': '--------.us-west-2.rds.amazonaws.com', 'PORT': '####' } } My question concerns the 'NAME' parameter. I connected to the AWS instance from my command line using the provided endpoint and port number in the RDS console and checked to see what databases were there. This is a brand new database instance I created with RDS, and there were 5 databases. $ mysql -h ---------.us-west-2.rds.amazonaws.com -P #### -u username -p Enter password: mysql> show databases; +--------------------+ | Database | +--------------------+ | information_schema | | innodb | | mysql | | performance_schema | | sys | +--------------------+ The only one of these databases that was empty was the one called innodb. At first I thought the NAME parameter was supposed to be 'mysql', since that is the name of the database server I'm using. But when I used 'mysql' as the name and ran python manage.py migrate I got an error saying django.db.migrations.exceptions.MigrationSchemaMissing: Unable to … -
Drop down list for custom field in Django admin
In my admin, I have a custom form field that is not part of the model. I need to implement drop-down list for it. I've tried django-admin-list-filter-dropdown, but it seems that it isn't working with custom fields. Also heard about grappelli, but failed to find solution for my case in its documentation. So I have following code in my admin.py: class ContentManagerFilter(SimpleListFilter): title = 'Content manager' parameter_name = 'content_manager' def lookups(self, request, model_admin): users = User.objects.filter( logentry__content_type_id=7, logentry__action_flag=1).distinct() return [(user.username, ' '.join((user.username, str(LogEntry.objects.filter( user__username=user.username, content_type_id=7, action_flag=1).count())))) for user in users.order_by('username')] def queryset(self, request, queryset): if self.value(): return queryset.filter( id__in=list(LogEntry.objects.filter( user_id=User.objects.get( username=self.value())).values_list('object_id', flat=True))) @admin.register(Page) class LandingPageAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin): list_display = ('slug', 'is_active', 'updated_at') list_filter = (ContentManagerFilter, 'category') I will be very grateful for any ideas. -
python/django/geodjango project on Windows or Linux (without Apache)?
I am new to django and trying to use it to build a website for a school project, but I am wondering if I should develop on my local Windows machine or Linux server? I've researched to try and see pros and cons of each, but it's still not clear to me with what I am trying to do which would be the easiest route. I am hesitant to start until I can see what potential problems I may run into in the future, but I don't know enough to foresee these issues. I know this question has similarly been asked before, but this was five years ago and I am wondering if there have been recent developments that would cause this answer to change. A couple things about my project: I am mainly trying to host a platform to interact with a database. The website will be used to return queries from the database, and hopefully (though not required) visualize some of the data in a map. Currently this database is in shapefile format and has ~1.5 million polygonal objects with 15+ attributes. I've read that this can be converted from shapefile to database/postGIS in django. The website does … -

How to set Django model date field default value to future date?
I'm trying to set the default value for a Date field to a future date with respect to today. However, it gives me the following warning when I set is as below. return_date = models.DateField(default=(timezone.now() + timedelta(days=1))) booking.Booking.return_date: (fields.W161) Fixed default value provided. HINT: It seems you set a fixed date / time / datetime value as default for this field. This may not be what you want. If you want to have the current date as default, use `django.utils.timezone.now` Same warning with the following code. return_date = models.DateField(default=(date.today() + timedelta(days=1))) What is the correct way to do this?

Django migration adding a UUIDField with a default
I have a simple Django migration where I've added a UUIDField to the Invoice model as follows. Model field: uuid = models.UUIDField( _('Unique invoice ID'), default=uuid.uuid4, editable=False, ) Generated migration: migrations.AddField( model_name='invoice', name='uuid', field=models.UUIDField(default=uuid.uuid4, editable=False, verbose_name='Unique invoice ID'), ), When I run this migration, every invoice gets the same UUID value as the others, almost as if the uuid.uuid4 function is called once and then that value is reused for all objects. I use PostgreSQL and Django 1.11. What am I doing wrong here?
