Django-bleach import and deploy to heroku error
I am using Django 1.11. I'm using in my Django application the django-bleach that was installed with: pip install django-bleach So, when I would use it, I've gotten an import error that I fixed, the error occurs in Django version 1.6 or 1.8+, I guess. You can see here what I did. It worked and I continue the development. The problem is: now I am trying to deploy my application in Heroku, but the same error occurs and the import has to be fixed. So, I think that my repository should have the requirements.txt with the correct version of django-bleach (the one that have my commit), this way it would works properly, right? So, I forked the repository, commited the modification and created a requirements.txt with this text: -e git+https://breno_asrm@bitbucket.org/breno_asrm/django-bleach.git#egg=django-bleach Then I created a new virtual env and installed with pip install -r requirements.txt I thought it would install the same thing as before, just adding my modification, but it was not what happened. For instance, now my lib directory (env/lib/python3.5/site-packages/ ) doesn't have django_bleach folder. So, how could I fix it in a way that I don't have to modify the heroku virtualenv that is created automatically (if it's … -

Django form with different models
I have a question, how to make a form in Django using 3 different models. This is my models: class User(models.Model): first_name = models.CharField(max_length=20) last_name = models.CharField(max_length=50) city = models.CharField(max_length=50) class Team(models.Model): team_name = models.CharField(max_length=250) city = models.CharField(max_length=50) class GameCategories(models.Model): CATEGORIES = ( ('Senior', 'Senior'), ('Middle', 'Middle'), ('Junior', 'Junior'), ) category = models.CharField(max_length=16, choices=CATEGORIES) I want to create a form using <select><option></option></select> with above models that would look like this: <select class="form-control"> <option value=""></option> <option value="user.id">user.first_name + user.last_name</option> <option value="user.id">user.first_name + user.last_name</option> <option value="user.id">user.first_name + user.last_name</option> </select> <select class="form-control"> <option value=""></option> <option value="gamecat.id">gamecat.category</option> <option value="gamecat.id">gamecat.category</option> <option value="gamecat.id">gamecat.category</option> </select> <select class="form-control"> <option value=""></option> <option value="team.id">team.team_name</option> <option value="team.id">team.team_name</option> <option value="team.id">team.team_name</option> </select> and after filling form when user click submit button I want to send to another view all values (user id, game category id, team id). Actually I don't have idea how to do this. I guess that I should create a ModelForm. Could you please help me? -
django 2.0 using MySQL database
I was curious about using MySQL instead of SQLite for my Django project. Firstly, I would like to ask: where can I find an explicite guide of how to install MySQL with Django on Windows and if I use MySQL, will I type the exact type of code I would usually type in SQLite ? For example: class Publisher(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=30) address = models.CharField(max_length=50) city = models.CharField(max_length=60) state_province = models.CharField(max_length=30) country = models.CharField(max_length=50) website = models.URLField() When you type this in Django, it gets converted to: CREATE TABLE "books_publisher" ( "id" serial NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY, "name" varchar(30) NOT NULL, "address" varchar(50) NOT NULL, "city" varchar(60) NOT NULL, "state_province" varchar(30) NOT NULL, "country" varchar(50) NOT NULL, "website" varchar(200) NOT NULL ); So the same will be when using MySQL ? -
Django forms - set specific data to the form object before modelForm saving
I have two ModelForm objects in the same view - Person and Adress. After user has bounded , I'm saving Person object. After saving, I want to use that saved object to set the ForeignKey of AdressForm, validate that form, and save. How can I set this? I mean field in ModelForm()? I've searched everywhere, and ewerywhere is said I have to save(commit=False), but I can't save unvalidated form! When I valid(), there is blank ForeignKey field! Here's my code: (I try to avoid create method, rather save) views.py class KontrahentCreate(LoginRequiredMixin, generic.View): template = 'escrm/kontrahent_form.html' context = dict() message = "Utworzono pomyślnie nowego kontrahenta" def get(self, request): self.context['form_kontrahent'] = KontrahentForm(initial={'czy_aktywny': True}) self.context['form_kontrahent'].fields['czy_aktywny'].widget = HiddenInput() self.context['form_adres'] = AdresKontrahentForm(initial={'czy_domyslny': True}) self.context['form_adres'].fields['czy_domyslny'].widget = HiddenInput() self.context['title'] = 'Dodaj nowego kontrahenta' return render(request, self.template, self.context) def post(self, request): kontrahent_form = KontrahentForm(request.POST) adres_form = AdresKontrahentForm(request.POST) if kontrahent_form.is_valid(): kontrahent = kontrahent_form.save() else: self.context['form_kontrahent'] = kontrahent_form return render(request, self.template, self.context) adres_form['kontrahent'].data = kontrahent.pk #AttributeError can't set attribute if adres_form.is_valid(): adres_form.save() else: self.context['form_adres'] = adres_form return render(request, self.template, self.context) messages.success(self.request, self.message) return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse_lazy('escrm:kontarhent-detail', kwargs={'pk': kontrahent.pk})) forms.py class KontrahentForm(ModelForm): class Meta(ModelForm): model = Kontrahent fields = '__all__' class AdresKontrahentForm(ModelForm): class Meta(ModelForm): model = AdresKontrahent fields = '__all__' widgets = { … -
Django: How to submit a form to either create new object or get an existing one?
Using django1.11.4. I am trying to make a page for adding an item to the database, however, to do this, I need to create/get several different objects, (product, manufacturer, supplier), whose forms make up part of the whole form for adding an item. In most case, there will be existing product, manufacturer and suppliers. So I want to retrieve the existing object and use that as the foreign key to relevant form. e.g. manufacturer is a foreign key of product. However, for all forms when I try submitting details for the existing object. e.g supplier. The is_valid fails. The error is: <ul class="errorlist"><li>supplier_name<ul class="errorlist"><li>Supplier with this Supplier name already exists.</li></ul></li></ul> Is there a way of submitting a form with 'existing data' so that I can get to pass on as a foreign key. Thank you for your time. class SupplierTestCase(FormTestCase, BasicTests): @classmethod def setUpTestData(cls): super(SupplierTestCase, cls).setUpTestData() cls.form = SupplierForm def setUp(self): super(SupplierTestCase, self).setUp() self.data = {'supplier_name_text': self.supplier_name} self.blank_data = { 'supplier_name_text': ['This field is required.'] } def test_valid_data(self): form = self.form(self.data) self.assertTrue(form.is_valid()) commit = form.save() self.assertEqual(commit.supplier_name_text, self.supplier_name) def test_get_data(self): form = self.form(self.data) self.assertTrue(form.is_valid()) if form.is_valid(): commit = form.save() self.assertEqual(commit.supplier_name_text, self.supplier_name) form = self.form(self.data) #The problem is below vvvv self.assertTrue(form.is_valid()) if … -

Django extended template is not loading base JS at time
I've in Django 1.11 a base.html which contains all the scripts references. Then, I've another page.html that extendes base.html with {% extends base.html %} and {% block content %} / {% endblock content %} tags. Well. In base.html I've a reference to Chartjs.js plugin. In page.html, if I try to call to Chart() function or just $ jquery, I get "function is not defined". If I open console debugger and try to call $ or just Chart(), it works. So I think that there's a problem with loading time. The page.html is rendered before the js are downloaded or requested! How can I solve it? I've done it before, I don't know what could be the problem. Thanks! -
How does the Django app registry work? [on hold]
I am working on my first larger Python project and I would like to store some instances globally. The problem is Python's import system, which is different to some languages I am used to work with (for example a static variable in Java only exists once during runtime). I found out that Django's app registry somehow always manages to give me the same instance of my AppConfig, even when importing it from different locations. This looks a bit strange to me, because it creates an empty registry in the end of the "registry.py": apps = Apps(installed_apps=None) So I couldn't find the answer in the code and the Debugger also isn't useful because it causes internal errors in Django. Could someone please explain how Django manages this? -

Get select="multiple" behaviour with groups of radio buttons in POST request
When we have some code like this in HTML: <form action="" method="post"> <select name="answers" multiple="multiple"> <option value="1" >Question 1, Answer 1</option> <option value="2">Question 1, Answer 2</option> <option value="3">Question 1, Answer 3</option> <option value="4">Question 2, Answer 1</option> <option value="5">Question 2, Answer 2</option> </select> <input type="submit"> </form> I can select one item manually from the question 1 group, and one item from the question 2 group. When this is sent in a POST request, I get a POST array containing answers = [1, 3] or similar. I want to get the same behavior from groups of radio buttons, as this is a problem better suited to radio buttons. For example, if I do the following: <form action="" method="post"> <fieldset> <legend>Question 1</legend> <input name="answers" id="id_1" value="1" type="radio"> <label for="id_1">Answer 1</label> <br> <input name="answers" id="id_2" value="2" type="radio"> <label for="id_2">Answer 2</label> <br> <input name="answers" id="id_3" value="3" type="radio"> <label for="id_3">Answer 3</label> <br> </fieldset> <fieldset> <legend>Question 2</legend> <input name="answers" id="id_4" value="4" type="radio"> <label for="id_4">Answer 1</label> <br> <input name="answers" id="id_5" value="5" type="radio"> <label for="id_5">Answer 2</label> <br> </fieldset> </form> It doesn't actually let the user select more than one radio button at once.

Mocking an HTTP request and forms.Form

Django nested queries
In Django I'm trying to achieve a nested SQL structure like this without using raw queries: SELECT id, session_hash, user_id, price_type_id, room_category_id, check_in_date, price, captured_date FROM (SELECT p.*, Row_number() OVER (partition BY check_in_date, price_type_id, room_category_id ORDER BY captured_date DESC) AS rn FROM dashboard_prices p WHERE room_category_id = 1 AND price_type_id = 1 AND check_in_date >= '2018-01-01 00:00:00' AND check_in_date <= '2018-01-02 00:00:00') p WHERE rn = 1 I couldn't figure out how to achieve that by using "normal" query expressions in Django.

how to call variable in context at template in Django

Can anyone tell me where I am wrong and how I can fix it? view.py class DetailView(DetailView): model = html template_name = 'project_detail.html' def calcOTTV(self,data): glasspath = data["object"].loc.glass[6:].replace("static","data") opaquepath = data["object"].loc.opaque[6:].replace("static","data") value,table=ottv.main(glasspath,opaquepath) return [value,table] def get_context_data(self, **kwargs): context = super().get_context_data(**kwargs) temp = self.calcOTTV(context) context["ottv"]=temp[0] <=I expected that this key is passed to html template return context html template <div class="row"> <h5>OTTV value</h5>{{object.ottv}} <=nothing is shown in browser </div> -

passing args and kwargs to parent class with extra content in django CreateView
I've made a django form in which I want to pass some context I need to display (mainly database entries in tags so the user can choose from them). I therefor made a get_context_data function where I add the context to the existing context like this: def get_context_data(self, **kwargs): context = super(UploadView, self).get_context_data(**kwargs) context['categories'] = Category.objects.all() context['form'] = VideoForm return context however the form is not saving the information passed to the database. Why would that not work? Here is part of my code! forms.py: class VideoForm(forms.ModelForm): category = forms.ModelChoiceField(queryset=Category.objects.all(), empty_label=None) class Meta: model = Video fields = [ 'title', 'description', 'description_short', 'category', 'time', 'thumbnail', 'type', ] def clean_thumbnail(self): picture = self.cleaned_data.get("thumbnail") if not picture: raise forms.ValidationError("No Image") else: w, h = get_image_dimensions(picture) if w/h != (16/9): raise forms.ValidationError("Image in wrong aspect ratio (should be 16:9)") return picture upload.html (it's pretty long so it's better to upload it to pastebin) views.py: class UploadView(LoginRequiredMixin, CreateView): form_class = VideoForm template_name= 'upload.html' def form_valid(self, form): instance = form.save(commit=False) instance.uploader=self.request.user return super(UploadView, self).form_valid(form) def get_context_data(self, **kwargs): context = super(UploadView, self).get_context_data(**kwargs) context['categories'] = Category.objects.all() context['form'] = VideoForm return context I'm using a custom form so I can set classes which I use for editing the …
