Django: Cannot resolve keyword "is_active'' on /accounts/password_reset/
I am trying to implement Django's built-in password reset functionality using my custom User model but I am running into this error when I try to submit an email address at /accounts/password_reset/: FieldError at /accounts/password_reset/ Cannot resolve keyword 'is_active' into field.

django redis cache compression not working
I am using django-redis-cache library to compress data of the order of 1.5 MB. Some of it does have repetitive data and it should definitely be compressed by any compressing algo. Using zlib option with the following settings.

How to ensure file exists in Django project?
Hello Awesome People! My question is simple as the title clearly describes it. I have FileField in some models , I added a property method to check the existance of file: @property def file_exists(self): # Because sometimes, the field may contain the string path # but the file doesn't exist at all in the server if file: # if the string path exists return os.path.exists(self.file.path) # If the file exists in server This works perfectly in development, but when I migrate all my files on AWS, it raises an Error such I don't have permission to do that. I wonder what's wrong or Is there another way to test whether a file exists? Thank you in advance! -
Django Admin : Display pictures from Admin Form
Unfortunately I didn't handle Django since several months. I would like to know How I can display Django object from my Admin form to my template. I'm making a personal website and all forms (add pictures, add extra-info, ...) should be from admin panel.

Django JSON format error
I am getting this error when I manually entered the data into POST request. But when I do it in the admin page, there is no error.

Visual Studio 2015 PTVS, what's special for the project type of Django Web Project
I'm using Visual Studio 2015 with PTVS 2.2.6, and trying to debug my Django code inside VS IDE. The experiment is successful, but I'm really curious about one thing: From New Project wizard, If I create a project of type Django Web Project, I can set break point in my django code and do source-level debugging. For example, set a breakpoint on first line of a view function, the breakpoint hits when a client visits the web root-URL. If I create a project of type of the "plain" Web Project and add those same manange.py, settings.py, views.py etc into the project and then start debugging(F5), the django web server runs without error, but I will not be able to set breakpoints on my django code. My question is: What kind of project settings makes this difference? Can I manually change my "plain" Web Project to enable django source code debugging? -
Django, Best way to add data to Foreignkey field with ModelForm
I am playing around with django, ModelForms and i created PostModel and CommentModel with a foreign key. That is all post have a comment box which allow users to comment,here is my view which works perfectly i just want to know the best way i could have added the data to comment field def comment(request, id): try: post = PostModel.objects.get(pk=id) if request.method == 'POST': form = CommentForm(request.POST) if form.is_valid(): comment = form['comment'].value() post.postcomment_set.create(comment=comment) return redirect('all_post') else: form = CommentForm() context['form2'] = form return render(request, 'prac/comment.html', context) except Exception as e: return HttpResponse(f'Error {e}') form in templates <form action="{% url 'comment' post.id %}" method="post"> {% csrf_token %} <p>{{form2.comment.label}}<br>{{form2.comment}} <input type="submit" value="Comment"></p> </form> everything works fine i just want to know the best way i could have handle data processing in my view -
`AbstractBaseUser` placed to a separate module
I'm enthusiastic in learning Django's source to establish my skills from bottom. In User model, it has password attribute. The model is import with command from django.contrib.auth.models import User, I checked the module django/models.py,failed to find password = models.CharField(), but eventually found it in django/base_user.py class AbstractBaseUser(models.Model): password = models.CharField(_('password'), max_length=128) last_login = models.DateTimeField(_('last login'), blank=True, null=True) It's interesting that AbstractBaseUser and BaseUserManager are encapsulated as a separate module rather than incorporated to models.py even though the codes are just 139 lines long. In base_user.py, it claims that """ This module allows importing AbstractBaseUser even when django.contrib.auth is not in INSTALLED_APPS.""" It's beyond my knowledge to grasp its idea. What's the benefit to design modules this way? -
Django signals not fired when saving from admin interface
I have configured some django signals on the pre_delete, post_save and pre_delete receivers for some models which are stored in a signals.py file in the same package as the models. Saving from an API call or directly in the terminal triggers the signals but when saving from the Admin dashboard they are not fired. I have imported the signals in the ready() method of the AppConfig which changes nothing. Any help on this issue? PS: Using django-oscar if that helps. -

Django selection form from model
Okay, so I've been stuck for a couple of weeks now working on this label system for work. I've created a django website that enables customers to translate labels for us. But I have now reached the end of my capabilities. I'm creating a form in which a customer chooses the item code that they wish to create a corresponding translation to. This means the form get's it's choice data from the model. When an item code is selected, I want to be able to grab the selected item code and reverse the user into the url matching that item code. Currently I am using a modelmultiplechoicefield to get the data from the model. This works and I am able to display the data in the HTML form. However I am not able to grab the data with cleaned_data as it just returns the entire queryset request. Which means I am getting the error NoReverseMatch at /labelcreator/ Reverse for 'create_label' with keyword arguments '{'pk': ]>}' not found. 1 pattern(s) tried: ['labelcreator\/(?P[0-9]+)\/create_label\/$'] Please see the code below. forms.py class LabelListForm(forms.Form): item = forms.ModelMultipleChoiceField(queryset=Label.objects.all(), label="") models.py class Label(models.Model): class Meta: verbose_name = "label" verbose_name_plural = "labels" item_code = models.IntegerField(unique=True, primary_key=True) item_description = … -
Specific queryset in SlugRelatedField for DRF serializer
I want to serialize multiple Objects. The have a SlugRelatedField to "Descriptors", which have unique names within one Project, but the same name can occure in different projects. Using this line in my serializer: row = serializers.SlugRelatedField(slug_field="name", queryset=Descriptor.objects.all() ) causes an error, because multiple Descriptors are returned. I need something like this: row = serializers.SlugRelatedField(slug_field="name", queryset=Descriptor.objects.filter(project=projectid)) Upon validation this causes NameError: name 'projectid' is not defined. Can i pass the projectid variable when calling the is_valid method so i can specifie the queryset? -
Why DateTimeField with auto_now_add can not get in form fields

Debugging what uWSGI worker is doing
I have a Django application (API) running in production served by uWSGI, which has 8 processes (workers) running. To monitor them I use uwsgitop. Every day from time to time one worker falls into the BUSY state and stays for like five minutes and consumes all of the memory and kills the whole instance. The problem is, I do not know how to debug what the worker is doing at the particular moment or what function is it executing. Is there a fast and a proper way to find out the function and the request that it is handling? -
Django: How can I add/delete fields in sqlite3 database?
I've started learning Django from a YouTube course. In the models.py file, there are two classes. class Album(models.Model): artist = models.CharField(max_length = 250) album_title = models.CharField(max_length = 250) album_logo = models.CharField(max_length = 1000) def __str__(self): return self.album_title + ' - ' + self.artist class Song(models.Model): album = models.ForeignKey(Album, on_delete=models.CASCADE) file_type = models.CharField(max_length=10) song_title = models.CharField(max_length=250) genre = models.CharField(max_length=250) def __str__(self): return self.song_title I added the genre in the Song after the migration. That's why I'm having problem while adding data. In the interactive shell, if I try to save() , it shows there's no 'genre' field. If I try to migrate again, it shows something like this: You are trying to add a non-nullable field 'genre' to song without a default; we can't do that (the database needs something to populate existing rows). Please select a fix: 1) Provide a one-off default now (will be set on all existing rows with a null value for this column) 2) Quit, and let me add a default in models.py Select an option: What's the proper way of adding or deleting fields? -
