Issue styling the image upload button
Basically I am trying to style my image upload form field. By following guidance from another question from here I ended up doing this: document.getElementById("uploadBtn").onchange = function () { document.getElementById("uploadFile").value = this.value; }; .fileUpload { position: relative; overflow: hidden; margin: 10px; } .fileUpload input.upload { position: absolute; top: 0; right: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0; font-size: 20px; cursor: pointer; opacity: 0; filter: alpha(opacity=0); } <input id="uploadFile" placeholder="Choose File" disabled="disabled"/> <div class="fileUpload btn btn-primary"> <span>Upload</span> <input id="uploadBtn" type="file" class="upload"/> </div> This works as it should but how do I bind it to my django form field ? If I replace class attribute inside the input from "upload" to "profile_pic", the main upload button will appear, which is bad. Or am I doing it wrong ? I just need the information to be passed to my form. photo = forms.ImageField(required=True, widget=forms.FileInput(attrs={'class': 'profile_pic'})) -
How to handle django dabase migrations with captain duck duck?
machine: docker 1GB when i try manage.py migrations (after a successful makemigrations) in my already deployed captain-definition, i get this error, Probably because migrations are not synced in my git repo and django cant detect which migrations are already applied to the database without the migrations folder Captain duck duck seems to destroy any changes to the file system in my docker conatiner and hence the migrations folder is not available after a restart.

Passing a url variable after submitting a form
I'm working on a simple website where I can register isolated information systems in a simple database, and assign harddisks to each system using ForeignKeys. When deleting a system from the database, I use a DeleteView. In the DeleteView: To check if there are any harddisks associated with the system I use custom method. If no harddisks are found, it displays the DeleteView form. If there are any, a list of the relevant harddisks is displayed instead of the form, with a link to the UpdateView of each individual harddisk. I want to be able to click a link to one of these harddisk, make changes to it in the UpdateView, then be redirected back to the DeleteView to "check the list again". This is what I have so far (Media = harddisk/storage media) class MediaEdit(LoginRequiredMixin, SuccessMessageMixin, UpdateView): model = Media form_class = MediaForm template_name = 'dsl/media/media_create-edit.html' success_message = 'Media successfully changed!' def get_success_url(self): return reverse('dsl:media_edit', kwargs={'pk': self.get_object().id}) def get_context_data(self, **kwargs): context = super(MediaEdit, self).get_context_data(**kwargs) context['action'] = reverse('dsl:media_edit', kwargs={'pk': self.get_object().id}) next_url = self.request.GET.get('next', 'None') context['next_url'] = next_url return context I have tried using the "next_url" variable in my UpdateView form: {% if next_url %} <form class="" action="{{ next_url }}" method="post"> … -
Syntax error in "manage.py" file - django 2
I do not understand what the problem is but I keep getting a syntax error for the "from exc" line even though I did not alter the code. I have checked for un-closed parentheses and quotes and indentation look right to my beginner's eye. The issue is that this is the out-of-the-box code for the Django 2.0 virtual environment so I can only assume Sublime somehow formatted it wrong when the file was dragged into the text editor? import os import sys if __name__ == "__main__": os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "myproject.settings") try: from django.core.management import execute_from_command_line except ImportError as exc: raise ImportError( "Couldn't import Django.

I need an explanation on how Django mobile apps work
So I want to create a mobile app with Django, that is basically like a sort of online store, I'm still very confused on how the process would work, but this is what I understand so far : The backend would be built with Django, which would manage users and data and all that, and then I would use MySQL to store the products and their relevant information, and Django would access that database and display the products as programmed. But then comes the matter of the interface of the app. I know that Django can display HTML pages so could those html pages act as the interface to the app, and how would I be able to achieve that on a mobile platform ? I know these kind of questions are not suitable for the stack overflow format but tbh I don't know where else to go so thanks. -
Can you help me find the error for querry in django?
So I am trying to make a search function which looks through the database to look for similar words in django database.

Prevent server from interpreting uploaded files
I have a FileField where the user is meant to upload an image or video for their post: image = models.FileField(null=True, blank=True) Is there any measure I need to take to prevent users from uploading hostile files? Such as .php files? Or does Django's security already prevent that? -

What is the effective way of managing threads?
I am building a ToDo web-app in Django. This app will create a reminder and will send a text-based SMS to the given phone number. So I decide the given below algorithm: Take user input of Time and Reminder. Validate the input. If valid, store in database and create a thread for sending SMS. Else, display an error message. This algorithm was working well until I came across an article in which it has said that we should not use Threads in web app cause it will use a lot of resources. This is true for my app because I am planning to use my app in such a way that a user can create only 100 reminders. This will create 100 threads on my app per user. I decided to develop a Priority Queue which will insert these 100 threads based on the priority of Time user has provided as input. Now my question is : Does creating a Thread and putting it in a Queue decreases the load on CPU or not? If not, what is the alternative? NOTE : I already know about CELERY and REDIS. But I decided to go this way because I want to … -

Download a file using Django rest framework by authenticating the user

DJango form.is_valid() function only clean the first form in an if statement
