Error in Basic User Permissions in Django blog

Filter querySet by value of page tag field
I'm creating a website using Wagtail. I have a page model called NewsItem. On the page I want to list the most recent news items that have the same tag, alongside the main content of the page itself. I'm not sure how to get the value of the tag field in order to filter a queryset and return the other news posts. I've tried various things: def render(self, value): news = NewsItem.objects.live().filter(tags__name=value['tags']).order_by('-date') return render_to_string(self.meta.template, { 'self': value, 'news_items': news, }) My tag field looks like this: tags = ClusterTaggableManager( through=Tags, blank=True, related_name='news_tag', verbose_name="News tags", help_text="News, Video..") I don't know if I need the return render_to_string bit, I just found an similar example online. Any help appreciated. -
Django: access previous information on save, or copy without changing original
I have a app where users fill in tests. The turn in submission objects which consist of some datetime information and all of the linked UserAnswer objects. Like so: class AssessmentSubmission(models.Model): user = models.ForeignKey(settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL) start_date = models.DateTimeField(default=timezone.now, editable=True) last_edited = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True, editable=True) test = models.ForeignKey(Assessment) class UserAnswer(models.Model): answer = models.FloatField() question = models.ForeignKey(Question, related_name='answers') submission = models.ForeignKey(AssessmentSubmission, related_name='answers') Pretty straightforward, however, things get a bit more complicated from here. What I want is that, if a user edits / changes an answer more than 14 days since his last edit to the UserAnswer.submission, a new submission gets created, with all of the old answers AND the new edited answer, whilst leaving the original 'old' submission intact. To this end, I've overwritten the UserAnswer.save method with the following code: def save(self, copy=False, *args, **kwargs): print(self.answer) delta = datetime.datetime.now(tz=pytz.timezone(settings.TIME_ZONE)) - self.submission.last_edited #If less than 14 days have passed, change the 'last edited' value of the linked submission if copy == False and delta.days < 14: submission = self.submission submission.last_edited = timezone.now submission.save(copy=False) #If more than 14 days have passed, clone the submission and link question to submission if delta.days >= 14 and copy == False: answers = self.submission.answers.all() cloned_submission = self.submission cloned_submission.pk … -

Django CreateView - setting required field automatically - not working

Django select_for_update with nowait=True not raising DatabaseError for conflicting transctions
According to Django docs: Usually, if another transaction has already acquired a lock on one of the selected rows, the query will block until the lock is released. If this is not the behavior you want, call select_for_update(nowait=True). This will make the call non-blocking. If a conflicting lock is already acquired by another transaction, DatabaseError will be raised when the queryset is evaluated. I was experimenting with this but found a strange behavior. Below code when run simultaneously doesn't raise the error but works in a blocking manner. def test4(): with transaction.atomic(): WorkflowCallContact.objects.select_for_update(nowait=True).filter(id__in=[1,2,3,4]).update(number="22222") time.sleep(10) list(WorkflowCallContact.objects.filter(id__in=[1,2,3,4])) To test, I am just opening to shells and calling the same function parallelly. But instead of throwing DatabaseError on the second call because of nowait=True, the call becomes blocked for 10 secs. Database I'm using: postgres Django version: 1.9 -
Django: How correctly show list of objects in related models?

Can't figure out how to query model in Django form
So what I'm trying to do might seem simple, yet complicated for me. I have these four models: Course, Lecture, Teacher and TeacherData. Firstly TeacherData and Teacher have a common field name teacher_ID, so when a teacher makes an account, it cannot be created unless his ID doesn't match the one from TeacherData. Secondly in the Course model, when a course is created, supervisor needs to specify a course teacher and a seminar teacher from the TeacherData model, so a supervisor doesn't need to wait for a teacher to create his account, to create a course. Thirdly, I have a form, where a teacher can add lectures to a specific Course. Problem is that all courses show for any teacher. A teacher has his own courses, unless a seminar teacher and a course teacher are appointed in same course. The problem: I do not know how to create the query which will allow the teacher to add lectures only to his courses. My logic is the following: Since Teacher and TeacherData share same teacher_ID, I could use that to access the same teacher(Teacher) as the one that teaches the course or seminar(TeacherData), and after that find a way to show … -

Bootstrap Navbar Toggle displaying in dev but not production environment
I've got a website set up with django and django-compressor for managing (ie merging & minifying) my static files. These are hosted by Amazon on S3. I'm using Bootstrap 4 and the MDBootstrap style library. The website is virtually identical in production and in my development environment, with the exception of the navbar-toggler-icon which displays in dev but not in production. It does still work in production, if you click/tap on where it should be it still opens the menu, it's just invisible. This is my production website - if you use dev tools to access the mobile view you will see that it is missing on the top-right corner of the navbar. The code is identical to my dev environment - the only difference is that it is being served from a different stylesheet, so for the life of me I can't figure out why it's not working. Any ideas on what could be going wrong? How do I even begin to debug this? -

How to auto fill form fields with a instance of a Model?
In my Django project, I have a model named Customer. The model consists of products which have following entities: name, address, mobile_number and so on. When the user is entering name in the form. If the customer exists, name__istartswith=q (where q is the query i.e., user input) then it should suggest every customer that starts with q. Then user can select the customer that he needs other fields should be filled with that instance of the model. If no match found then it user should create a new customer.
