Overriding Django Username Value
I want to make my (Django built-in User class) username field more obfuscated. Is there any downside to this code (testing+working): @receiver(pre_save, sender=User) def presave_user_override_username(sender, instance=None, created=False, **kwargs): #Reference: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11561722/django-what-is-the-role-of-modelstate if instance._state.adding is True: while True: rstr = random_string_generator(20) # eg. UlBxNgZV04bbLNE5A7Fz if not User.objects.filter(username=rstr).exists(): instance.username = rstr break Users will be created with django-allauth with Social Providers only for now. In the off chance that I decide to allow email sign-up, I can have them login with their e-mail address. Right? Any foreseeable issues or better approaches? -
Python - Django 2.0 - URL patterns, passing arguments
First of all I am completely new to web development and Python, however I am enjoying the language. I am writing a very basic web page which has a text box where a user can type in a username, then hit the Ok button which submits a form using a GET request. The GET passes the username as an argument and searches the auth_user table in the database. My problem is I am not able to pass the username argument, please help if you can Django 2.0 url patterns urls.py app_name = 'just_gains' urlpatterns = [ path('lifecoaching', views.LifeCoach, name='life_coaching'), path('lifecoaching/resultslifecoaching/<user_name>', views.LifeCoachSearchResults, name='results_life_coaching'), ] forms.py class LifeCoachSearch(forms.Form): user_name = forms.CharField(label='Username', max_length=100, required = False) views.py def LifeCoach(request): if request == 'GET': form = LifeCoachSearch(request.GET) if form.is_valid: user_name = form.cleaned_data['user_name'] LifeCoachSearchResults(request,user_name) else: form = LifeCoachSearch() return render(request, 'just_gains/life_coaching.html', {'form': form}) def LifeCoachSearchResults(request, user_name): testUser = User.objects.filter(username__startswith=user_name) context = {'TestUser': testUser} return render(request, 'just_gains/results_life_coaching.html', context) HTML (lifecoaching) <form action="{% url 'just_gains:results_life_coaching' %}" method="GET" > {% csrf_token %} {{ form }} <input type="submit" value="OK"> </form> HTML (resultslifecoaching) <ul> <li><a>print usernames that match the argument</a></li> </ul> Thanks -
django REST urls.py does not resolve endpoint
Noob here. I am using https://github.com/Seedstars/django-react-redux-base which is great and straight forward Django REST + React.js starter project. This is Django 1.11. My problem is with the Django REST backend not resolving the API endpoints correctly. I have added an application profiles that should return a user profile when queried by: /api/v1/profiles/getprofile/(some_name) Here is my top-level urls.py: from django.conf import settings from django.conf.urls import include, url from django.views.decorators.cache import cache_page from base import views as base_views urlpatterns = [ url(r'^api/v1/accounts/', include('accounts.urls', namespace='accounts')), url(r'^api/v1/getdata/', include('base.urls', namespace='base')), url(r'^api/v1/profiles/', include('profiles.urls', namespace='profiles')), url(r'', cache_page(settings.PAGE_CACHE_SECONDS)(base_views.IndexView.as_view()), name='index'), ] My profiles/urls.py: from django.conf.urls import url from django.utils.translation import ugettext_lazy as _ from . import views urlpatterns = [ url(_(r'^getprofile/(?P<display_name>.*)/$'), views.PublicProfileView.as_view(), name='getprofile'), ] With This setup, when I query http://localhost:8000/api/v1/profiles/getprofile/test, I get the IndexView in the response, basically html containing the frontend. However if I comment out r'' from the top level urls.py I get the expected JSON payload for the 'test' profile that I have in the database. Why would the resolver skip r'^api/v1/profiles/ and resolve straight to r''? Am I doing this wrong? -

How to subclass AbstractUser in Django?
I'm trying to extent my user model. In the Django documentation for extending the user model it says: ... just want to add some additional profile information, you could simply subclass django.contrib.auth.models.AbstractUser I don't have experience in subclassing models. I've set everything up except for subclassing the model to AbstractUser and can't seem to find good documentation on it. Does anyone have experience subclassing AbstractUser?

How is the python interactive shell connected to Django?
Hello fellow programmers! I am reading about the functionality of the interactive shell reached through running '...python manage.py shell'. This is something that I have done many times before, however I am not quite sure exactly How the actual shell connects with Django. Before asking this question, I have indeed tried to find my way through the official documentation - as well as other posts on this website. This question does not appear to have been presented with an answer a beginner like me can comprehend. I have read that the 'manage.py shell'-command 'gives us an interactive shell with the Python path set up correctly for Django.'. I know that it can be used to interact with a Django project, and to query configured databases and models - however what happens behind the scenes? For example, when writing 'ModelName.objects.all()' - what is the origin of '.objects' and '.all()', because it does not seem to be pure python syntax? How does Django understand this? Is the shell a special python-version provided by Django, with some added syntax that Django understands? Because that would make sense. Thank you from Sweden! -

Django local development, Chrome Blocking requests to local server in frame
Im developing a web application using the local dev server provided by Django. My local web-app is to be emmbeded in an iframe of a remote site. But when testing Chrome loads the remote site encappsulating webpage (page which is meant to wrap my web-app in an iframe but blocks requests towards my local dev server in the iframe, which makes testing impossible. I have looked in chrome's console and get the following error: Refused to frame 'https://localhost:8000/' because it violates the following Content Security Policy directive: "child-src 'self' https://* shopify-pos://*". Note that 'frame-src' was not explicitly set, so 'child-src' is used as a fallback. My questions: 1) Why is Chrome blocking requests? 2) Is this error being caused because I am using localhost? and framing work fine on Chrome once I deploy on a production server with domain name? 3) Is there anyway that I may circumvent this error while I am on local host for testing purposes? -

Django environment error in pulled Pycharm project
I created a new Django project in pycharm and ran it on my system. Works fine without any issues. I pushed the project to github. But when my teammates pull the same project, they face issues with the configuration. There are questions available on SO regarding this but none of them seemed to solve my issue and pycharm throws the same Error: Django is not importable in this environment. Here are some of the troubleshooting techniques I tried but to no use: Checked the project python interpreter on my teammates system. It is correctly setup. Pushed the project first with and then without the .idea folder. I thought there might have been some issue with the config there but both didn't work. Created a new virtual environment which gets setup correctly but again does not work. Is there something obvious that I am missing? Any pointers as to which files to ignore and which files to push in Django while working in a team so that the configurations do not conflict? -

URL not working with One-Time-Token
I'm trying to build a login system where the user - after sign up - needs to click on a link an an activation email. I create the token in a method: def get_context_data( self, request, user, context=None): if context is None: context = dict() current_site = get_current_site(request) if request.is_secure(): protocol = 'https' else: protocol = 'http' token = token_generator.make_token(user) uid = urlsafe_base64_encode( force_bytes(user.pk)) context.update({ 'domain': current_site.domain, 'protocol': protocol, 'site_name': current_site.name, 'token': token, 'uid': uid, 'user': user, }) return context The problem here is that the generated token looks like this: http://127.0.0.1:8000/user/activate/b&#39;NjA&#39;/4t8-9fad2c2dc78ecf8a1228/ The URL is not working with the urlsafe_base64_encode(force_bytes(user.ok)) generates a weired token that does not work in an url. If I try to click on the link I get: Page not found (404) Request Method: GET Request URL: http://127.0.0.1:8000/user/activate/b& as you can see, the url is cutt off after the #&.
