GET request the django way
I am playing with Django and have the following question. I have a search form in some template: <form role="search" method="get" action="{% url 'polls:search' %}"> .... <\form> which, for example, forms the following request: http://127.0.0.1:8000/search/?text=dog&year=2017 The corresponding function in the view.py file works well with this request. At some point in other template i need to make a link which leads to http://127.0.0.1:8000/search/?text=&year=2017 I do the following: <a href="{% url 'polls:search' %}?text=&year=2017"> It looks a little bit ugly and maybe incorrect. Is there another way? For example, is it possible to form the get request in the Django way: http://127.0.0.1:8000/search/dog/2017 So in the other template, one can write <a href="{% url 'polls:search' %} text='' year=2017"> -
Does my Django app have to be the same name as the project directory?
I've pulled my django repo from bitbucket onto my digital ocean server. My project folder name in my server is project whereas my initial app from my repo (the one with settings.py is called app. Does this cause any problems? Because I know when you create a django project offline, the first directory is always the same as the parent directory. -
Django get request via ajax making two requests
I am working on passing data from ajax to a Django view. However, ajax somehow is making 2 GET requests: one with the query string and the other without it. In the view when I try to get the query string its empty. Ajax code: <script> $( document ).ready(function() { var query = "{{ item.ipv4_address }}"; $("#clickid").click(function() { $.ajax({ url: "/reserve/run/?ip=", type: "GET", data: {ip:query}, success:function(data){ console.log(data); } }); }); }); </script> Django view: def run_script(request): if request.GET: ip = request.GET['ip'] print ip return render_to_response('test.html',{'item':ip}) Two urls: [16/Dec/2017 07:03:56] "GET /reserve/get/?ip=198.18.101.123 HTTP/1.1" 200 1355 [16/Dec/2017 07:03:58] "GET /reserve/run/ HTTP/1.1" 200 1 Please let me know where I am going wrong. Also, let me know if you need any more info. Any pointers is appreciated. -

Get absolute file path of FileField of a model instance in Django
I have a page where people can upload files to my server. I want to do something with the file in Celery. So, I need to know the absolute filepath of the uploaded FileFiled of my Model. Let's say I queried the model and got the instance. Now I need to get the absolute file path including the filepath. obj = Audio.objects.get(pk=1) I'm currently trying obj.filename and it's only printing the file name and not the absolute path. I know I can get the upload path I input into upload_to and media directory, but I was wondering if there was a more DRY and automatic approach. How do I get the absolute path of file which is a file filed in obj? -
Django signals not working with channels in multicontainer setup
I have django app and implementing websocket support with channels and channels api. I am using demultiplexer with bindings to my models. For example when i save a model it will send the change to my open websocket connection. Everything works OK if i run ./manage.py runserver 0:80 and have all in one container. But if i separate my app to UWSGI, daphne and the worker containers using docker the signals are not triggered. For example i want any celery worker (task) to trigger the signal and send update via the websocket. In my multicontainer setup the websocket connection is established OK and web works OK, but nothing triggers that signals. How the signals are defined you can see here on github.

What is the logic for a blog when we already have predefined CSS tags and need to upload multiple images and videos in same file?
Am creating one blog for my website. I have predefined CSS for all images, videos, code etc. Example: <div class="post-title">TITLE</div> <div class="col-md-12 blog-post">MY CONTENT</div> <div class="post-image"></div> ... When I fetch data from database, if the data is in correct tags then only get the CSS style. So when I save into db should I save it with these tags? i.e with <div class="post-image">/images/img.png</div> I know this is not the way it should be. When I thought about dynamic loading like this in django, {{ image_url }} But how would I know when I should append '' , if it is not in db! Example content: Hello world <IMG src='images/img1'> Hellow again. AM pretty happy. <IMG src='images/img2'> <CODE 1> So for each image tag, should I save it inside <div class="post-image">/images/img.png</div> ? Which free editor can I use in my website to add content to blog ? If I use an editor will it be possible to keep my CSS content same? In database, for a 'content' field, if I want to add images and video links, should it be a new columns or it should be a html tag inside content itself? -

SMTPAuthenticationError; Username and Password not accepted
I'm following along with this book and in chapter 18 part of the current assignment involves sending an email via Django. I have a yearly domain I use for testing, and rather than pay an additional 5$ a month I figured I'd just have the emails forwarded to an existing address, using these instructions. I then went ahead and set it up so I could send mail using an alias via the Sending mail from your forwarded email address section However, I'm unable to get it working using the generated app password + alias. When I try to send an email from the page it only works if 2FA is disabled and I use my actual gmail credentials, say for example: EMAIL_HOST_USER = 'bob@gmail.com' EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = 'bobswife123' It works as intended. However, lets say I wanted to use my generated app password and alias, something like: EMAIL_HOST_USER = 'alias@bob.com' EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = 'bobsmistress123' Then I'll get the following error: Was able to make any use of the support article from the URL in the above screenshot, but here it is for the sake of convenience: https://support.google.com/mail/?p=BadCredentials Anyways, these are the exact steps I'm taking: From terminal on macOS 10.13.1, I run … -

Best practices for GeoDjango Models
I have a classic GeoDjango model from django.contrib.gis.db import models class Location(models.Model): vessel = models.ForeignKey(Vessel, on_delete=models.CASCADE) timestamp = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True, blank=True) point = models.PointField() However usage seems quite clumsy; >>> foo = somevessel.location_set.create(point=Point(5, 23)) >>> foo.point.x 5.0 I still want to store the location as a point but would prefer to interact with the model with more native looking code, something like >>> foo = somevessel.location_set.create(latitude=5, longitude=12) >>> foo.latitude 5.0 Is this against best practices? And is there a simple way to achieve this in Django? -
Django Forms Validation message not showing
I'm trying to restrict file type, size and extension that can be uploaded in a form. The functionality seems to work, but the validation error messages are not showing.

Django celery worker to send real-time status and result messages to front end
In a django app I'm running async tasks and would like to show progress, errors etc to the user. If there are errors, the user should be redirect to a page where additional input or some action is required to fix the problem. What is the best way to communicate from the celery work back to the front end? Here's a basic structure in pseudo code: # views.py from tasks import run_task def view_task(): run_task.delay() return render(request, 'template.html') # tasks.py from compute_module import compute_fct @shared_task def run_task(): result = compute_fct() # how to catch status update messages from compute_module while compute_fct is running?? if result == 'error': handle_error() else: handle_succes() # compute_module import pandas as pd def compute_fct(): # send message: status = loading file df = pd.read_csv('test.csv') # send message: status = computing val = df['col'].mean() if val is None: return {'status':'error'} else: return {'status':'success','val':val} What I would ideally want: compute_module.py module uses python native logger. By separation of duties I want to keep the logging as generic as possible and use the standard python/django loggers. But they don't seem to be designed to send messages to front end. celery task somehow handles the logs and instead of displaying …
