Django rest framework for external views?
Is it possible to create Django web service which will be served for external views? Just hit that service and fetch the values. The most of the examples i found are with django web application views and templates. -
Django project set up with Apache2 - i want to access it through I.P/application_name/
Hi I want to set up my django project to be access through apache2 by I.P/application_name/ So "192.0.0.0/app/" (Ip being an example) Here is my 000-default.conf file in etc/apache2/sites-available <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName www.example.com ServerAlias example.com ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost DocumentRoot /var/www/html ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined WSGIDaemonProcess HTSv2 python-home=/home/django/config/env python-path=/usr/local/django/app WSGIProcessGroup HTSv2 WSGIScriptAlias / /usr/local/django/app/application/wsgi.py <Directory /usr/local/django/app/application> <Files wsgi.py> Require all granted </Files> </Directory> Alias /static/ /usr/local/django/app/static/ <Directory /usr/local/django/app/static> Require all granted </Directory> <Directory /usr/local/django/app> Deny from all Allow from ... </Directory> </VirtualHost> When I change the line: WSGIScriptAlias / /usr/local/django/app/application/wsgi.py to WSGIScriptAlias /app/ /usr/local/django/app/application/wsgi.py I can access the home page of my application by 192.0.0.0/app/ However when I click on any buttons, obviously does not keep to this, so for example going to page1, does not go to 192.0.0.0/app/page1, it goes to 192.0.0.0/page1 How can I configure apache2 to do this? The reason I want to do this is so I can host multiple projects on the same server, so the root of 1 project is 192.0.0.0/app1/ and then the root of the other is 192.0.0.0/app2/ etc... -

paragraph tags not breaking lines (django, ckeditor)
A user of our site is having trouble preserving the formatting of their story. They're using a ckeditor field to upload the story. Here's the raw input: <p style="margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in"><span style="color:#191c1f">I asked him what his tattoo meant.

How to inherit Django variables?
I'm having a little trouble wrapping my head around inheritance in Django. Here is an abstracted test case of my problem. (Note that my app is called viz and I've just built this test case under it) urls.py from django.urls import path from viz import views urlpatterns = [ path('test.html', views.test_view, {}, name='test'), path('inherit_from_test.html', views.inherit_from_test_view, {}, name='inherit_test') ] viz/views.py def test_view(request): return render(request, "viz/test.html", context={'hello': 'hello'}) def inherit_from_test_view(request): return render(request, "viz/inherit_from_test.html", context={'django': 'django' }) viz/static/viz/test.html <body> <h1> {{ hello }} </h1> <h2> {% block content %} {% endblock %} </h2> </body> </html> viz/static/viz/inherit_from_test.html {% extends "viz/test.html" %} {% block content %} {{ django }} {% endblock %} As expected, the test.html file has a single h1 tag, which says hello. However I was expecting to see the both the h1 and h2 tag in inherit_from_test.html. Instead the inherit_from_test.html file only contains the h2 tag saying Django. Why has the inherit_from_test.html not inherited the contents of the {{ hello }} variable? -
Dynamically hide a field in django admin?
What I am trying to do is when a Boolean is True is display certain fields and if the Boolean is false, do not display them. To the fields I am trying to hide are TextField and CharField if that has any effect. I have made a solution but it is not ideal. What I have done using the def_fields function in the admin class, is on creation, all the fields will be displayed and then after you save it the fields will display accordingly to what the Boolean is displaying. This is not ideal because I would like to have it dynamically, so when I select this Boolean, it will remove the fields from the view immediately. -

Django form not getting validated even if correct?

(Django) One UpdateView many forms
I'm working for my training center to develop a web application. I have a page with a list of clients, and would like to be able to click a link to update their profile. When 'update' is clicked, I should be able to edit the username, first name, ... email, phone number, street etc, in a single page, using a single submit button. I accomplished this by using five forms, one for User, one for the extra information, one for the address, one for the zip code and one for the number of the street. The ListView, and CreateView work perfectly with these five forms, but not the UpdateView. I am not able to update the instance and it create a new instance at each submit. The question is: what did I do wrong, please ?

Django + Memcached: get all entries
I would like to use Memcached and Django. I need to store some entries key-value with an expiration timeout. In this way, using Memcached with expiration timeout, I can clear automatically all expired entries. But I need also to retrieve all current stored entries. Is there a way to get all contained entries in memcached using Django. An example of my idea: We can suppose to store in cache the last users locations. I'm interested to store only the last user locations that I can receive form mobile app (for example) so, I can set a timeout (expiration) when I add a entry in the cache. In this way Memechached will clears automatically all expired entries and I not have to manage manually it. This is ok form me But I need also of a method to get all the actually contained entries (not expired). I'm not found an api to retrieve all current entries using Django + Memcached. Is it possible? -

Django; Tips for making views thin
I'm a beginner and I have been working on project using Django. I am wondering if there's a good way to avoid repeating the same code. Also if there are similar logic in some functions, how can I decide if the logic is organized or not. for example, def entry_list(request): entry_list = Entry.objects.all() #this part is repeated page = request.GET.get('page', 1) paginator = Paginator(entry_list, 10) try: entries = paginator.page(page) except PageNotAnInteger: entries = paginator.page(1) except EmptyPage: entries = paginator.page(paginator.num_pages) return render(request, 'blog/entry_list.html', {'entries': entries}) The logic to paginate is repeated in some other functions as well. Where should I put the repeated code and how can I decide if I should organize code? -
Formatting Django web app for 1024x768
I am currently formatting my Django web application using twitter bootstrap, but things start getting weird when I resize the browser. Ideally, I would like to keep the same format regardless of browser size, and if they go too small, than just a horizontal scroll is introduced: If the screen resolution is 1024x768, I want the site to look good (using the full width of the screen, no warping or adjustments of image files, no horizontal scroll). If the display is wider than 1024px, there are blank space on either size. If narrower than 1024px, a horizontal scroll is introduced. I was wondering what the best way to go about this is. Is there a way with twitter bootstrap? I was also thinking of putting everything into a boarder less table with defined widths and centering the table on the screen? Hoping then things inside the table wouldn't resize down. -
Is there a way to call Ajax load() method from a Python script in a Django project?
I am running a couple of repeating background tasks asynchronously with the help of django-background-tasks in my Django project, which all last between 1-5 minutes to complete. Each task saves objects into the project's database and the website displays the most recent data from the database tables. Obviously I then wanted to have the page to update the displayed data without the user having to manually refresh every time. I decided to do this with Ajax load() method provided by jQuery since only specific tags are required to be reloaded. However, since it's impossible for me to estimate how long each task takes to complete, I temporarily just placed the ajax load requests inside a javascript setInterval() method that executes every 10 seconds. This is however an unnecessary amount of reloading and therefore I'm wondering if there was a better way I could have the ajax load requests execute only when a background task is completed and new objects are saved to the database. If it helps to enlighten my situation any better, here's what I've got: The project's urls.py file: urlpatterns = [ path('', general.views.GeneralView.as_view(), name='general'), ... path('ajax/status1', alarms1.views.status, name='status1'), path('ajax/status2', alarms2.views.status, name='status2'), ] alarms1.tasks.call_alarms(repeat=10, repeat_until=None) alarms2.tasks.call_alarms(repeat=10, repeat_until=None) #these … -

When I try to upload a video through the built-in textbox functionality, I get an error: Request Method: POST Request URL: http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/pages/178/edit/ Django Version: 1.11 Exception Type: AttributeError Exception Value: 'function' object has no attribute 'void_element_close_prefix' At the same time, I already have a page with such a video, and when I try to re-publish it gets the same error.
