Finding someone to build simple Django Website
I want to create a simple website and turns out my basic html knowledge won't get the job done. I learned some basic python/django through youtube/internet research and was able to build a basic site that looks decent. The problem is I am trying to give the site search functionality and after a week of research I can't figure this part out. I wan't to be able to create multiple databases that can be searched with a search box. You enter your search keyword, it searches all databases and prints results on your screen. I got as far as creating one database but I am having trouble getting the search box to work with it. I also couldn't figure out how to add new databases. Now I've come to the realization that it might be best to have someone build a skeleton site with just the functionality that I need. I can then take care of the site's appearance. Whats the best way to go about hiring somebody and where can I find them. I'm using a windows pc not a mac therefore I would need the site to be pc friendly for editing. Using Django 2.0 and python 3.0. -
How does django testing work with running both the client and the server at once?
I'm wondering, it seems that when you run django tests, you have access to a client, which is hitting a running copy of your server. How does this work? Is it all done in a single thread? My question is motivated by the request_finished signal. I'm wondering, when you're running django tests, will request_finished call its functions before the response returns, or after? Or not at all? Please let me know if I can expand on this question in any helpful way -
refer to last available historical data
In a django project backed by a postgresql db I have two models,: class Asset(models.Model): name = models.CharField(...) class AssetHistory(models.Model): asset = models.ForeignKey('Asset', ...) timestamp = models.DateTimeField(...) value = models.IntegerField(...) Periodically some data are added to AssetHistory for some specific asset. What is the best practice to refer to the last value in AssetHistory for a specific asset? I was thinking to add 2 extra fields in Asset model and update them when a new entry is added to AssetHistory class Asset(models.Model): name = models.CharField(...) timestamp = models.DateTimeField(...) value = models.IntegerField(...) but i'm not sure this is the best choice. -
Django rest framework URL Filter - Edit/Update Instance returned via filter method
I've had success using filter_fields to return a single filtered result list. I want to update to this result. Is there a way to update a filtered single result? via a URL pattern like the below? LocalHost:8080/PriceMaster/?ISIN=aaa&valuedate=2018-01-01 I know if i use the primary key at the end of the URL instead of the filter I can update the instance. I feel I may have to make a second view (inheriting from one of these API views) with a a new url? RetrieveUpdateAPIView, RetrieveDestroyAPIView, RetrieveUpdateDestroyAPIView Is there a way to keep it within the 1 ViewSet and what might it look like? This is my current views.py class OptionMasterViewSet(TemporalModelViewSet): queryset = OptionMaster.objects.filter(vflag=1) lookup_field = 'django_id' filter_backends = (DjangoFilterBackend,) filter_fields = ('ISIN', 'ValueDate',) model = OptionMaster When I make a PUT or POST within Postman to the URL I get the error "Method Not Allowed" Thanks -

manage.py runserver fails after putting custom app in middleware
Im following a guide on youtube to work with django. Unfortunately this guide is made for pre 2.0 django. So the challenge is to create a app called "posts" that can be accessed by localhost/posts. After creating the folder 'posts' and adding it to settings.py MIDDLEWARE like this: MIDDLEWARE = [ 'posts', 'django.middleware.security.SecurityMiddleware', 'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware', 'django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware', 'django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware', 'django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware', 'django.contrib.messages.middleware.MessageMiddleware', 'django.middleware.clickjacking.XFrameOptionsMiddleware', ] python manage.py runserver fails When commenting 'posts' out runserver succedes. The problem is that Im so new to all of this that I don't even know what to search for. -

Django: Different level of logging on server and locally
I've set the logging level to INFO for loggers and handlers. Everything works as expected when I run Django on my local machine with ./manage.py runserver. However, on Apache server with WSGI, the log contains only WARNING logs. The DEBUG variable is set to True in both cases. Here is critical part of my settings.py: LOGGING = { 'version': 1, 'disable_existing_loggers': False, 'formatters': { 'normal': { 'format': '%(levelname)s %(asctime)s %(module)s %(message)s' }, 'simple': { 'format': '%(levelname)s %(message)s' }, }, 'handlers': { 'file': { 'level': 'INFO', 'class': 'logging.FileHandler', 'filename': '/var/log/clawd.log', 'formatter': 'normal' }, 'console': { 'level': 'INFO', 'class': 'logging.StreamHandler', 'formatter': 'normal' }, }, 'loggers': { 'django': { 'handlers': ['file', 'console'], 'level': 'INFO', 'propagate': True } } } State of the log after GET request on the local machine: INFO 2018-01-18 22:07:38,935 basehttp "GET /case/new/doc/1 HTTP/1.1" 200 337 On the server: Any idea how could that happen? How Django even knows that it is running on a server when the DEBUG flag is still True? -
why post method looks as 'OPTIONS' in django
I simply post a file to django app which hosted in virtual machine. and request logs looks like; [18/Jan/2018 21:49:06] "OPTIONS /upload/ HTTP/1.1" 200 0 I searched and installed django-cors-headers nothing looks wrong but whats this options stuff? why django doing this? here is function in django: def upload_file(request): if request.method == 'POST': form = UploadFileForm(request.POST, request.FILES) if form.is_valid(): handle_uploaded_file(request.FILES['file']) return HttpResponseRedirect('/success/url/') else: form = UploadFileForm() return render(request, 'upload.html', {'form': form}) -
Filter form field based on another form field (user selects date, then another field displays timeslots available that day)
I'm trying to filter the slot (time slot) field based off of the day field the user selects. So basically filter the slot field to only show the ones that exist on that day. I have successfully been able to filter it based off if the time slot is booked, but can not get it to dynamically filter based off the date field. I have two models. Appointment, and Calender (I refer to the rows in this table as time slots) Models class Calendar(models.model): date = models.DateField() timeslot_A = models.TimeField() timeslot_B = models.TimeField() booked = models.BooleanField(default=False) class Appointment(models.Model): """Appointment Information""" client = models.OneToOneField(settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL, on_delete=models.CASCADE) date_added = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True) day = models.DateField(u'Day of the event', help_text=u'Day of the event') slot = models.OneToOneField(Calendar, on_delete=models.CASCADE) Forms.py class AppointmentForm(forms.ModelForm): def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs): super(AppointmentForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs) self.fields['slot'].queryset = Calendar.objects.filter(booked=False, date=self.instance.day) #HERE^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ class Meta: model = Appointment fields = ['day', 'slot', 'notes', 'recurring', 'extras'] widgets = { 'day': forms.DateInput(attrs={'id': 'datepicker', 'type': 'select'}), } I know how to achieve this using jquery, but I'm pretty sure that't not ideal since it's filtered on the front end. -
Pass Django Variable Via Javascript
I'm new to Javascript, and trying to figure out how to get the value of a variable in my HTML form. I have the following code kind of working, I put an alert in to test my logic and the else statement is working, but I can't seem to figure out how to get Javascript to submit my form if the value is set to on. I know my value is being interpretted correctly as I tested it with an alert as well. It just doesn't seem to want to submit the form. I have looked through SO and it seems that the Javascript submit syntax might have changed? Here is my Javascript function: document.getElementById('ifon').onclick = function(){ var getval = Checkbox(this.form); if (getval == 'on') { document.getElementById("data").submit(); } else { alert(getval); } } And here is my HTML for the form in question: <form id="data" name="data" %}"> <input type='hidden' name='status' value="Delete"> </form> I'm new to Javascript so maybe I'm missing something. This is a checkbox and Javascript seems to know what the value is based on my testing. I just can't seem to get the form to submit. Thanks for the help in advance. -
Passing a Django object into javascript?

Does anyone have any ideas?? -

Is it possible to have a Heroku app I built be on the same domain as my Wordpress website?
I have a website hosted on Wordpress at domain [my domain name].com. I built an app using Django that is currently deployed on Heroku at [my domain name].herokuapp.com. The apps do not have conflicting routes. For example, the '/' route does not exist on the app I built myself. Is it possible to configure my DNS settings on Heroku such that I can use my custom domain name where a Wordpress website already lives? -
how to filter Django objects with a varying number of filter terms
Users can search for articles in my database with a set of terms. For example, "police body camera force". I then want to return to the user a list of articles where the title or source of the article contains ANY one of the terms the user entered. I'm not sure how to do this, especially since I don't know how many words there will be in the user's query. I thought the code would be something like this: user_query = "police body camera force" user_query_term_list = user_query.split(' ') for term in user_query_term_list: results = Article.objects.filter(Q(title__icontains="term")|Q(source__icontains="term")) ...and then somehow combine each of the results together in one queryset. If this is the most efficient approach, how do I combine the results from each of the loops into one queryset? And if there is a better way of accomplishing my goal, I would be grateful for the advice. Thank you. -
How can I force django to restart a database connection from the shell?
I have a django project on a Digital Ocean server. From my local machine, I connect to the database through ssh: ssh -L 63333:localhost:5432 me@my.server And change my local settings.py as: DATABASES = { 'default': { 'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2', 'NAME': '', 'USER': '', 'PASSWORD': '', 'HOST': 'localhost', 'PORT': 63333 } } And on a Jupyter QtConsole on my local machine, I follow these steps for setup: import os import django os.chdir('/path/to/my/project') os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'my_project.settings' django.setup() It all works fine until my ssh connection is broken by some reason. First I get this error (on a line that queries the database, say, my_model.objects.first()): DatabaseErrorTraceback (most recent call last) /home/ayhan/anaconda3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/django/db/backends/utils.py in _execute(self, sql, params, *ignored_wrapper_args) 84 else: ---> 85 return self.cursor.execute(sql, params) 86 DatabaseError: server closed the connection unexpectedly This probably means the server terminated abnormally before or while processing the request.

Django Query set is empty on chosen.js multiselect... Why?

Django data leak between 2 separated tests
In my whole tests base, I experience a weird behaviour with two tests. They are completely isolated. However, I can find data from the first test in the second one.

Django widget tweaks' render_field not working

Build system for aws
I was using a free tier aws account in which I had one ec2 machine (Linux). I have a simple website with backend server running on django at 8000 port and front end server written in angular and running on http (80) port. I used nginx for https and redirection of calls to backend and frontend server. Now for backend build system, I did these 3 main steps (which I automated by running jenkins on the same machine). 1) git pull (Pull the latest code from repo). 2) Do migrations (Updating my db with any new table). 3) Restarting the django server. (I was using gunicorn). Now, I split my front end and backend server into 2 different machines using auto scaling groups and I am now using ELB (Aws Elastic Load balancer) to route the requests. I am done with the setup. But now I am having problem in continuous deployment. The main thing is that ELB uses auto scaling groups which in turn uses AMI. Now, since AMI's are created once, my first question is how to automate this process and deploy my latest code in already running aws servers. Second, if I want to run few steps … -

Django app not working on mobile only (desktop is fine)?
I'm running a Django app on a private intranet which requires either the company wifi to access or, alternatively, a VPN connection in order to open it from a non-company wifi channel. That's working as intended. The issue is that I can access the site from mobile (iPhone, iPad) when I'm on the company wifi. But when I'm connected through public wifi, even if I'm connected via VPN and I can access the intranet, I cannot access the site. For a variety of security reasons I can't disclose precise details or code, so I'm not looking for an explicit solution. Instead, I would be very, very grateful for some general ideas as to what might possibly be causing this, or things that I could start looking into and/or check. I know this isn't your typical stack overflow post, but it is definitely useful for me and I believe helpful to anybody else who runs into a similar issue if we can create a list of possible reasons for this error. -
Using Sass with Django
Im looking for a reasonably simple toolset and workflow for incorporating Sass into my Django projects. Im predominantly backend focused and have just started investigating Sass, so bear with me. My initial idea was to keep things simple by just using node-sass without trying to incorporate Gulp, django-pipeline or anything else initially. My Django apps are usually structured such that I create a static/app/css folder in each app. One option I guess would be to now create an additional folder per app for scss files, ie: static/app/scss. Next, outside of my Django project folders I would create a folder to install node-sass since I wouldn't want to install it globally and I don't want the node-modules folder inside my Django project or inside source control. I guess the node-modules folder can be thought of like using a python virtualenv instead of installing packages globally? Next, inside my Django project somewhere (not sure where?) I would have the package.json file containing a scripts section for every scss file I want compiled to css, eg: "scripts": { "compile:sass": "node-sass app1/static/app1/scss/style.scss app1/static/app1/css/style.css", "compile:sass": "node-sass app2/static/app2/scss/style.scss app2/static/app2/css/style.css", "compile:sass": "node-sass app3/static/app3/scss/style.scss app3/static/app3/css/style.css" } Lastly, I would just run compile:sass with the watch flag to constantly …
