Recover GET parameter from PasswordResetConfirmView
I'm trying to recover a GET parameter from the django template view django.contrib.auth.PasswordResetConfirmView. Basically when a user click on his password reset link (like http://127.0.0.1:8000/commons/reset/MQ/4t8-210d1909d621e8b4c68e/?origin_page=/mypage/) I want to be able to retrieve the origin_page=/mypage/ argument. So far my url.py looks like this: from django.urls import path from . import views app_name = 'commons' urlpatterns = [ path('reset/<uidb64>/<token>/', views.PasswordResetConfirmView.as_view(), name='password_reset_confirm'), ] And my views.py like this: from django.contrib.auth import views as auth_views class PasswordResetConfirmView(auth_views.PasswordResetConfirmView): template_name = 'commons/password_reset_confirm.html' success_url = '/commons/reset/done/' def get(self, request, *args, **kwargs): self.extra_context = { 'origin_page': self.request.GET['origin_page'] } return super().get(request, *args, **kwargs) As you can see I'm trying to get my origin_page with 'origin_page': self.request.GET['origin_page'] but it doesn't work. It throws me a MultiValueDictKeyError. I even used the debugger to inspect every objects from the class/method but none of them seems to contains my origin_page variable. Any idea? Thanks -
How to introduce non-model, write-only field to a modelserializer
I have the following ModelSerializer: class MaintProtoSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer): class Meta: model = MaintenanceProtocol fields= ('warranty_card_number', 'warranty_id', 'machine_id', 'inner_body_id', 'outter_body_id', 'warranty', 'date', 'seller', 'inner_cleanup', 'outter_cleanup', 'turbine_cleanup', 'filter_condition', 'pressure', 'outer_air_temp', 'inlet_air_temp', 'other_problems', 'propuski', 'client_notes', 'electricity') and its model: class MaintenanceProtocol(models.Model): warranty_card_number = models.CharField(max_length=100) warranty_id = models.CharField(max_length=100) machine_id = models.CharField(max_length=100) inner_body_id = models.CharField(max_length=100) outter_body_id = models.CharField(max_length=100) warranty = models.BooleanField() date = models.DateField() seller = models.CharField(max_length=100) inner_cleanup = models.BooleanField() outter_cleanup = models.BooleanField() turbine_cleanup = models.BooleanField() filter_condition = models.TextField() pressure = models.IntegerField() outer_air_temp = models.IntegerField() inlet_air_temp = models.IntegerField() other_problems = models.TextField() electricity = models.IntegerField() propuski = models.TextField() client_notes = models.TextField() It's deserializing an object based on the following json passed to it: { "warranty_card_number": "profi-1234", "warranty_id": "fji-0938", "machine_id": "fuji", "inner_body_id": "outter-2349", "outter_body_id": "inner-2349", "warranty": "yes", "date": "2017-12-20", "seller": "maga`zin", "inner_cleanup": "no", "outter_cleanup": "yes", "turbine_cleanup": "yes", "filter_condition": "so-so", "pressure": "4", "outer_air_temp": "5", "inlet_air_temp": "23", "electricity": "45", "propuski": "some", "other_problems": "none", "client_notes": "n/a", "sigb64": "alkjhsdfpas8df,a;lsejf,p0394" } So the sigb64 field is not really part of the model (and it mustn't be persisted to the database), however I'd like to access it from the created model by the serializer. What's the correct way to achieve that? -
Access data from other model in a ListView
Good morning, how can I access data from another model in my ListView ? Right now I have a model called Project and I I am using ListView in order to render a a list of all current projects. My Project is linked to another models call Team that has multiple Members and each members has an attribute called Response_set. I would like that in my HTML template if Response_set is not empty for each member put a Green Mark else put a red mark. The thing is I do not know and do not find the answer on how to loop through my list within the view; class HRIndex(generic.ListView): #import pdb; pdb.set_trace() template_name = "HR_index.html" model = Project ordering = ['-created_at'] def get_context_data(self, **kwargs): import pdb; pdb.set_trace() context = super(HRIndex,self).get_context_data(**kwargs) status_dict = {} for project in object_list: proj_team_id = project.team_id proj_memb = proj_team_id.members.all() open_close = 1 for memb in proj_memb: if not list(memb.response_set.all()): status = False else: status = True open_close = open_close*status status_dict.update({project.id:open_close}) context['status_dict'] = status_dict return context I tried using object_list like in the template but it not working How can I loop through my list in my view ? Thx you -
Why Django DecimalField let me store Float or string?
I don't understand the behaviour of Django DecimalField. It's defined as: A fixed-precision decimal number, represented in Python by a Decimal instance. However, with the following model: class Article(models.Model) unit_price = DecimalField(max_digits=9, decimal_places=2) I can create an article in at least 3 ways: article = Article.objects.create(unit_price="2.3") type(article.unit_price) >>> str article = Article.objects.create(unit_price=2.3) type(article.unit_price) >>> float article = Article.objects.create(unit_price=Decimal('2.3')) type(article.unit_price) >>> decimal.Decimal Why Django DecimalField is able to return something else than Decimal type? What would be the best way to ensure my app never deals with floats for prices? Thanks. -

fatal: destination path '.' already exists and is not an empty directory
I'm getting this error when I try to git clone my Bitbucket repo from my remote Digital Ocean server. The server directory I'm trying to clone the repo into is not empty, as I'm setting up my Django project in it (env, static, manage.py etc are all in there). So how do I clone the repo into this directory that is not empty? I've already tried a reccommended answer which said use git fetch and git checkout -t origin/master -f - and that didn't work - I got this error: fatal: A branch named 'master' already exists Any suggestions what I can do? -

django socket with react-native
We have a django backend with Django Rest Framework for our api, and our frontend is built with React Native (android). What is the best way to go about creating a socket between two users? We would like to implement chat/video and allow users to send data like current geolocation to each other. Also, is it possible to create a socket between the server and frontend to listen for DB updates (instead of sending requests from the front end to the api at set intervals) ? -

Python 3 - Django 1.9 One Create Request Causing Multiple Creation Attempts?
I was adding a successful or unsuccessful message to when a post is created on a learn to make a blog project when I started getting that post creations were both successful and unsuccessful at the same time: The contents of the message are defined using if/else statements and the only thing I can think might be happening is when I click submit on my post creation form it is being submitted multiple times causing an initial successful attempt and then two unsuccessful attempts but I don't see a reason for this to be happening in views.py, post_form.html, or post_detail.html files.

Django server close on closing browser tab
I want to close my running django server(CMD) on closing browser tab. After some few minute research i tried below codes. using windows, django 1.9, and python 3.6 -as s very 1st step i added onbeforeunload js script inside my header template so that every page that contains my web app will have that event handler in header. {% block js %} //close ui on tab click window.onbeforeunload = function(){ $.ajax({ // Ajax call type: "POST", url: "closeui", success: function(k){ alert('Good bye'); return false; }); return "Do you really want to close?"; }; {% endblock js %} For routing i added url as closeui On views i created closeui function which will perform closing cmd. def closeui(): import os from win32com.client import GetObject WMI = GetObject('winmgmts:') processes = WMI.InstancesOf('Win32_Process') for p in WMI.ExecQuery('select * from Win32_Process where Name="cmd.exe"'): print("Killing PID:", p.Properties_('ProcessId').Value) os.system("taskkill /pid "+str(p.Properties_('ProcessId').Value)) return True So id didn't get any desired result for this.

Web Design Tool Assets

Why is extending the user model causing an http 400 error?

How to use the OAuth2 toolkit with the Django REST framework with class-based views?
I'm trying to add an API using the Django REST framework to an existing codebase which uses the Django OAuth2 toolkit. The existing views make use of the fact that the OAuth2 toolkit's backend modifies the behavior of Django's login_required decorator so that it uses OAuth2 authentication. The function-based views look similar to the one in the tutorial example: from django.contrib.auth.decorators import login_required from django.http.response import HttpResponse @login_required() def secret_page(request, *args, **kwargs): return HttpResponse('Secret contents!', status=200) I'm trying to adapt the example given on https://django-oauth-toolkit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/rest-framework/getting_started.html to my situation, but I'm finding it's not an exact correspondence, because the example uses the DRF's ModelViewSet classes whereas my current view uses a (less-integrated) generic class-based view: from rest_framework import generics from ..models import Session from ..serializers import SessionSerializer class SessionDetail(generics.UpdateAPIView): queryset = Session.objects.all() serializer_class = SessionSerializer where I've set the default permission class to IsAuthenticated in settings.py: REST_FRAMEWORK = { 'DEFAULT_PERMISSION_CLASSES': [ 'rest_framework.permissions.IsAuthenticated', ], } This should allow a Session object to be updated using PATCH requests, but it appears to return a 403 Forbidden response for use cases similar to the ones for the current views decorated with login_required.

Using JS to render Django form
I'm learning to utilize pure JS in Django projects. Being a server-side developer the concepts are relatively new for me, so need a hand. Imagine a form where a user can post text, and/or upload an image. Think of it as a simple Django form like so: class PostForm(forms.Form): image = forms.ImageField(required=False) reply = forms.CharField(required=False, widget=forms.Textarea(attrs={'cols':30,'rows':3,'class': 'cxl','autocomplete': 'off','autofocus': 'autofocus'})) def __init__(self,*args,**kwargs): super(PostForm, self).__init__(*args,**kwargs) self.fields['image'].widget.attrs['id'] = 'browse_image_btn' def clean(self): data = self.cleaned_data # perform cleaning return data If I were to render this form in HTML, something like the following would do: <form action="{% url 'post_content' %}" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data"> {% csrf_token %} {{ post_form.reply }}<br> {{ post_form.image }} <label for="browse_image_btn" style="cursor: pointer;"><img alt="Select photo" src="{{ STATIC_URL }}img/upload.svg" width="70" height="70"></label> <input type="submit" value="submit"> </form> But how do I create this HTML solely via JS? Use-case: imagine a page that contains a long list of content, with a reply button under each. The form above only appears under specific content once the user has pressed the reply button. Moreover, pressing the same button toggles it off too. I can't seem to wrap my head around solving a problem like that. Please advise, preferably with an illustrative example. I'd prefer to understand the most …
