using select2 in django admin search
I am trying to use select2 in the admin search. I'm sure it's useful to many because select2 allows us to search for a value without retrieving all the possible choices. First, I created a filter and have no choices loaded in it. Then, I overrode the admin template adding the following: <script src="{% static "autocomplete_light/vendor/select2/dist/js/select2.full.js" %}"></script> <link rel="stylesheet" href="{% static "autocomplete_light/vendor/select2/dist/css/select2.css" %}" /> <script> $(function(){ $("select[data-name='sample']").attr('class', 'select2_samples auto-width search-filter'); $(".select2_samples").select2({ placeholder: 'sample', ajax: { url: "/sample-autocomplete/", dataType: 'json', delay: 250, data: function (params) { return { q: params.term, // search term page: params.page }; }, cache: true }, escapeMarkup: function (markup) { return markup; }, // let our custom formatter work minimumInputLength: 0 }); }) </script> I even compared the search for of the admin change_list before and after. They look the same except an span tag is added after the select. Does anyone have any ideas why it does not work? I tried running this $('#changelist-search').serialize() in the browser console and it outputs: "q=" which means it is not registering my changes. Any ideas why it is not? -
Creating django form for related models
I have the following models defined: class Question(models.Model): date_added = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True) question = models.CharField(max_length=200) number_of_answers = models.IntegerField(default=0) class Answer(models.Model): question = models.ForeignKey(Question) answer = models.CharField(max_length=200) votes = models.IntegerField(default=0) I want the user to be able to create a question along with its corresponding answers. Basically, I want to create a form that will ask the user to enter a question and the number of answers for the question. Based on the number-of-answers specified, I want to then create that many text fields for each answer. I want to be able to connect each answer to its corresponding question in the database. What is the best way to do this in Python Django? I have provided images of what this would look like visually. Getting question and number of answers, getting answers based on question and number of answers specified -
GitLab CI Django and Postgres

Django factories for unit test: "Cannot assign "'1'": "User.group" must be a "Brand" instance."
I'm getting an error when I run my unit test for my user_profile/model.py: "Cannot assign "'1'": "User.group" must be a "Brand" instance." I believe this error is because, in my factories for my unit test (factories.py), I'm not correctly assigning group when I'm creating an instance of UserFactory(). I thing group should map to the Brand class/factory but I'm not sure how to do this.. this is my user_profile/model.py: class Brand(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=20) def __unicode__(self): return self.name class User(AbstractBaseUser, PermissionsMixin): username = models.CharField( 'username', max_length=50, unique=True, db_index=True ) email = models.EmailField('email address', unique=True) group = models.ForeignKey(Brand, null=True, blank=True) is_active = models.BooleanField(default=True) is_admin = models.BooleanField(default=False) is_staff = models.BooleanField(default=False) is_approved = models.BooleanField(default=True) and in my user_profile/test/factories.py: from user_profile.models import User, Brand class UserFactory(factory.django.DjangoModelFactory): class Meta: model = User django_get_or_create = ( 'username', 'email', 'password', 'is_approved', 'is_active', 'is_staff', 'is_admin', 'group' ) class BrandFactory(factory.django.DjangoModelFactory): class Meta: model = Brand django_get_or_create = ('name',) BrandFactory(name='BRAND1') BrandFactory(name='BRAND2') BrandFactory(name='BRAND3') BrandFactory(name='BRAND4') UserFactory( username='myuser1@gmail.com', email='myuser1@gmail.com', password=12345, is_approved=True, is_active=True, is_staff=True, is_admin=True, group="1" <--- HOW DO I MAP THIS TO THE 'BRAND1' FACTORY/CLASS?! ) UserFactory( username='myuser2@gmail.com', email='myuser2@gmail.com', password=12345, is_approved=True, is_active=True, is_staff=True, is_admin=True, group="2" <--- HOW DO I MAP THIS TO THE 'BRAND2' FACTORY/CLASS?! ) -
Python WebSocket Client connecting but not sending messages
While using websocket client to send test messages to a django server, I cannot get a script to work which can both send and receive messages.

Django keep track of object exports
I have my models in models.py with custom export method (that dumps my data to .xml file - in order to be included in .xml file company must have some fields manually filled in by me) class Country(models.Model): name = ... class Company(models.Model): country = ForeignKey(Country .. ) name = .... address = .... Companies are scraped from different sources and sometimes don't contain all the necessary information. Then I manually go through each company and I fill in the gaps. I need to somehow track how many companies I exported after clicking 'export button' for each country. I don't want to export multiple times the same company. My question is: How to approach this? Should I create a new class named Export where I will track everything or are there better methods? All the best and Merry Christmas! -

Django-registration 'Password_reset_done' goes to the wrong URL route
On Djano-registration with Django 2.0 everything seems to be working OK. However, when I go to reset password, type in the email and submit, it redirects me to: http://127.0.0.1:8000/accounts/password/reset/auth_password_reset_done instead of: http://127.0.0.1:8000/accounts/password/reset/done/ It seems that it's confusing the url with the url name: ^accounts/ ^password/reset/done/$ [name='auth_password_reset_done'] Any ideas why? -

DJANGO: TemplateDoesNotExist: auth/user_confirm_delete.html
I'm trying to create a "delete account" functionality in Django. I use DeleteView for this purpose.

Django 2.0 reusable apps - TemplateDoesNotExist at /polls/
Python 3, Django 2.0 I just got to the end of the official Django tutorial, and I'm working on the advanced portion - "How to write reusable apps" It seems like I was at least partially successful, I can access the Questions and Choices through the admin interface, but when I try to display the http://127.0.0.1:8000/polls/ I get this error: TemplateDoesNotExist at /polls/1/ I get a similar error for trying to access a detail page, at http://127.0.0.1:8000/polls/1/ I looked through all the troubleshooting questions I could, and my main question is - how can you access templates that are packaged into an app? The thing I see going wrong is that Django is trying to find the app templates inside the main project directories(ie: /tutorial/templates/polls/detail.html), but they should be "inside" the module I imported from pip. Are you actually supposed to package the templates into apps this way? I tried throwing the template files back into tutorial/templates/polls/ and it works just fine, but this goes against what I think should be "reuseability" because then the packaged app won't have it's own templates. The answers I was able to find seem to be more for older versions of Django, and used … -
Django: send context to 'base.html'
I have a nav bar item that is used to register/login. As, it's gonna be in different pages, I'm thinking of calling this form "once" for every page, in the 'base.html'. I've found about the 'context processor' (Django - How to make a variable available to all templates?), however, as I can see, it passess only a variable to all templates. For that, it uses a function like this one on the file: view.py: def categories_processor(request): categories = Category.objects.all() return {'categories': categories} However, I'm using Class Views in my views.py, and, generally, I do pass the 'request', 'url to be rendered', 'context'. Like this: view.py: class RegistroClienteView(View): def get(self, request): ls_tipos_de_documento = TipoDocumento.objects.values_list('id', 'nombre_corto') form = ClienteCreationForm() context = {'form': form, 'ls_tipos_de_documento': ls_tipos_de_documento} return render(request, 'app_cliente/frontend/ingreso.html', context) def post(self, request): ls_tipos_de_documento = TipoDocumento.objects.values_list('id', 'nombre_corto') form = ClienteCreationForm(request.POST) if form.is_valid(): form.save() context = {'form': form} return render(request, 'app_cliente/frontend/ingreso.html', context) context = {'form': form, 'ls_tipos_de_documento': ls_tipos_de_documento} return render(request, 'app_cliente/frontend/ingreso.html', context) My question is what to return in the View? After following the steps for seetting up the 'context-processor.py', in this file, I have: Please, notice that I'm only returning the context from app_cliente.forms import ClienteCreationForm from django.views import View from nucleo.models.tipo_documento import … -

How to create a "Quiz" model that has unknown number of options with one or more correct answers?
I am trying to make a model for a "Question/Quiz" . A question can have as many choices (Charfields) as user wants , and there can be one or many correct answers (out of those options) . How should I define this model? Question: Some long description.

django 2.0 - url match everything
I am trying to set my django 2.0 project urlconf so that all URLs go to the same app, and within that app all URLs point to the same view. Seems really simple! Still, my intuition and looking for help on the Internet fails me. I am completely new to django, but have experience with programming in general. Here is what I tried: I have the main project project/url.py with the setting: urlpatterns = [ path('admin/', admin.site.urls), path('', include('main_app.urls')) #Pattern A ] And then in the main_app/url.py: urlpatterns = [ path(r'^.*$', views.index, name='index') #Pattern B ] but using the address even with an empty URL (just the domain name) gives me an error: Using the URLconf defined in project.urls, Django tried these URL patterns, in this order: admin/ ^.*$ [name='index'] The empty path didn't match any of these. Looking for help directed me to these places (among others): What is the python regex to match everything? the suggestion there is to put r'^' as Pattern A, but this didn't work for me. Django URL template match (everything except pattern) the suggestion there is to use r'^.*' as Pattern B, which is exactly what I used. I noticed in the web … -

Memory leak using django channels, apscheduler, and google oauth2client

Override Field attribute in Django Model
I have a problem. I'm trying to change the directory on which a file gets uploaded, using the upload_to attribute of a FileField, without success.

My models are defined in this way : class DocumentBase(models.Model): file = models.FileField(upload_to=get_filename) class Document(DocumentBase): file_type = models.CharField(max_size=150) I tried to overwrite the FileField in the child class, without success (I'm aware now that this is not possible.)
