Django 1.11 + py.test: Fix ConnectionDoesNotExist when test functions need access to unmanaged external tables/DB
We use py.test to test our Django system. We use unmanaged DBs in our system: class Example(models.Model): class Meta: managed = False When we run tests that need access to the existing DBs with existing data, they fail with ConnectionDoesNotExist: The connection my_connection_name doesn't exist This is how our tests look like: @pytest.mark.django_db def test_example_access(): from example.models import Example Example.objects.count() We've tried to add the following to conftest.py as described in the top answer on Django test tables are not being created, but it did not change the matter (despite being executed). @pytest.fixture(autouse=True, scope='session') def __make_unmanaged_managed(): from django.apps import apps unmanaged_models = [m for m in apps.get_models() if not m._meta.managed] for m in unmanaged_models: m._meta.managed = True Thanks a lot for your ideas! -
How to change location of templates?
I'm trying to organize my files, which includes changing the location of some template files. However, I can't seem to get the server to pick up these changes. Restarting the server doesn't do it, nor does makemigrations pick up the change. I'm going from: class Meta: template='base/panel.html' to: class Meta: template='blocks/panel.html' But keep getting a TemplateDoesNotExist error. Exception Type: TemplateDoesNotExist Exception Value: base/panel.html -

Is the concept behind Angular Components and Django Apps is similar?
I have learnt how to work with Angular, and I have a very good understanding of component and its development. Now I'm learning Django for backend. It's just a couple of weeks that I've started with Django. Now this time apps in Django looks very similar to components in Angular. Like unique responsibility for each component in Angular and same for apps in Django, then in angular we use different techniques and tools for component interaction. And there must be something in Django as well (this time I don't know). So, I just want to know that is the concept of both apps and components are similar or it's just my lack of knowledge in Django. -

Django REST: CRUD on Through Table, Many-to-Many relationship

Django cant see my toolbar
Hello I have a common problem in Django like Django can't see .. OK this time Django can't see my beautiful toolbar Terminal doesnt show any error.

Django signals working yet one is giving unexpected results
I dislike having people go through the trouble of reviewing my code but even after trying for hours, I have no idea what the problem is. I didn't have a clear way of describing my question's title but I tried. I am building a College Management System. I have two apps at the moment. One is for accounts and the other is called klass. I have extended the default user and have added a boolean field of 'in_class' which I will be using as a check to do stuff later. Below is an overview of my accounts.models.py: accounts.models.py from django.db import models from django.contrib.auth.models import BaseUserManager, AbstractBaseUser class User(AbstractBaseUser): email = models.EmailField( verbose_name='email address', max_length=255, unique=True, ) date_of_birth = models.DateField(null=True) is_active = models.BooleanField(default=True) is_admin = models.BooleanField(default=False) is_teacher = models.BooleanField(default=False) is_student = models.BooleanField(default=False) is_parent = models.BooleanField(default=False) in_class= models.BooleanField(default=False) bio = models.TextField(blank=True, help_text='write something about yourself...') # goes on... I am not utilizing the permissions, i am using a role-based approach. The only difference is i've added the boolean fields to my user model instead of creating another model for the roles.

Chatfuel bot - user validation
I have been reading a LOT seriuosly a lot of how can I implement this flow to my bot, for example: The user types his/her username I get the data written by the user I search in my Django Rest API if the user actually exists and then return to he/she the tasks he/she need to complete for the end of the week. I know that I have to use JSON plugin, and User Input, but what I don't know how to do, is obtain what the user type. Until now I got this URL setup in my JSON plugin: https://helloworld.herokuapp.com/post?username={{username}} so this mean that I have a running server. But then what? I read this: API integration and also this setup server side logic But step 3 is what I don't know how to develop, I achieve this: class GetView(TemplateView): template_name = 'profiles/get.html' def geturl(self, request): # url = 'https://helloworld.herokuapp.com/post?username={{username}}' # parsed = urlparse.urlparse(url) # return HttpResponse(urlparse.parse_qs(parsed.query)['username']) username = self.request.query_params print(username) url = 'https://helloworld.herokuapp.com/post/' + 'username' + username But I think i'm not even close to find the solution. -

CBV or Functional View for JsonResponse
I am new to creating API endpoints using Django. Which is a better way to handle API requests and process JsonResponse? Should I do it in a Class-Based View? Or a Functional View? I would assumed CBV would be an overkill since people tend to use CBV for the generic-view inheritance. Since I am merely sending back a Json object, i would consider it unnecessary and thus a Functional view would suffice. However, I am not too sure what exactly are the other components of CBV and FV that would matter and make the difference. If there is one view better over another view, can you please tell me with reasons why one is preferred over another. Cheers. -
How can I change email sender's name in django
I'm creating email system in my django project and faced to next question: Send email from custom email sender name, f.e. sending email from gmail(btw it works in my project) requires sending messages only from gmail account, same thing with smtp-pulse, sendgrid and etc. . My question is: May I use any of already configured smtp servers in my case, or I only need to create my own using smtplib(f.e) and configure it? Tried: DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL = 'support@site.com' SERVER_EMAIL = 'support@site.com' EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.gmail.com' EMAIL_PORT = 2525 EMAIL_USE_TLS = False EMAIL_HOST_USER = 'user@gmail.com' EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = 'password' This one doesn't work.

Django convert raw SQL ordering to QuerySet API
I'm trying to perform natural ordering on CharField for model (here simplified version): class House(models.Model): number = models.CharField(max_length=32) def __str__(self): return str(self.number) >>> House.objects.all() <QuerySet [<House: 2>, <House: 1>, <House: 4>, <House: 3>, <House: 1b>, <House: 2b>, <House: 1c>, <House: 13c>, <House: 10>, <House: 2e>, <House: 3ab>]> I have managed to order it by raw SQL query: House.objects.raw("SELECT * FROM entry_house ORDER BY(substring(number, '^[0-9]+'))::int, substring(number, '[0-9].*$')") But I need to get QuerySet object not RawQuerySet (for our current pagination implementation). Iterating over all raw queryset is not an option because of huge amount of data. How can I convert result of RawQuerySet to QuerySet or even better, how to convert this raw SQL query to Django QuerySet API? -
Pass attributes from a Cutom Field to a Custom Widget template
I want to create a custom Field and a custom Widget. I'm trying to do this using ModelForms. How can I pass arguments from the Field to the Widget but not as widget attributes, similar to how {{ widget.name }} is passed. field_name = CustomField(obj_original=ALPHA, obj_type=100) I want to use this values in the widget template as conditional and/or as values for template tags(do some manipulation), so this is why I don't want them in attributes(the attribute will appear in the html elements), this don't. I know I can pass multiple attributes in widget, but I need then to remove them from attributes and attached as direct properties/attributes of the widget. I want to be passed in the Field, not in Widget. I check in django source ChoiceField and SelectField but it is not very clear for me. -
