django search box in navigation box to search postgresql
I want to put a search box in the base.html navigation bar that searches one table in my postgreSQL and produces a drop-down of matching names that then goes straight to the selected detail. So I know I need a form tag in base.html, and a url pattern and a CBV. Thanks in advance. -
Django override UserManager to use custom user model
I'm stuck trying to override UserManager to point to my custom user model so I can implement a user registration form. I keep getting the error message: Manager isn't available; 'auth.User' has been swapped for 'users.CustomUser' So I know the manager isn't pointing to CustomUser but instead to the default User model, but I can't figure out how to change this. My settings.py: AUTH_USER_MODEL = 'users.CustomUser' Within my users app here is forms.py: from django.contrib.auth.forms import UserCreationForm from .models import CustomUser class CustomUserCreationForm(UserCreationForm): class Meta(UserCreationForm.Meta): model = CustomUser fields = UserCreationForm.Meta.fields And here is my models.py file: from django.contrib.auth.models import AbstractUser from django.db import models class CustomUser(AbstractUser): pass class CustomUserManager(UserManager): pass How do I set CustomUserManager to point to my CustomUser model and then where do I point my code to CustomUserManager? Thanks for any help. -
Given a django assignment I'm struggling with
Basically, I'm supposed to have a login/reg page with validations (which is complete and working great.) Then have it redirect to a landing page that displays all the other users (not including the logged in user) on a table. Then it lists out all their information (see picture) with a button that allows you to poke other people and how many times they've been poked. There is also a list of people who have poked you and how many times they poked you. I really need help. How do you display the logged in users name at the top in jinja? Something like {{ user.alias }} which I can't get to work. User is the table name and alias is the field name in the db. How do you display all the records on the table? How do you display the poke history on the table? How do you add the list of people who've poked you and order it by descending order? I'm really at a loss on how to accomplish this. Any and all help would be appreciated. Am I supposed to create another table to track the pokes. I'd be willing to pay for a good answer … -
What does adding on_delete to models.py do, and what should I put in it?
FYI, the on_delete parameter in models is backwards from what it sounds like. You put "on_delete" on a Foreign Key (FK) on a model to tell django what to do if the FK entry that you are pointing to on your record is deleted. The options our shop have used the most are PROTECT, CASCADE, and SET_NULL. Here are the basic rules I have figured out: Use PROTECT when your FK is pointing to a look-up table that really shouldn't be changing and that certainly should not cause your table to change. If anyone tries to delete an entry on that look-up table, PROTECT prevents them from deleting it if it is tied to any records. It also prevents django from deleting your record just because it deleted an entry on a look-up table. This last part is critical. If someone were to delete the gender "Female" from my Gender table, I CERTAINLY would NOT want that to instantly delete any and all people I had in my Person table who had that gender. Use CASCADE when your FK is pointing to a "parent" record. So, if a Person can have many PersonEthnicity entries (he/she can be American Indian, Black, … -

Django app on Heroku: can't open new browser window via webbrowser call
I have a django app on heroku that requires user authorization via the spotify web API. I am using the python webbrowser module to send the user to the authorization link. Everything works locally. To run on Heroku I have installed RQ, and am using the Redis To Go add-on, and have added workers to run the webbrowser call. Procfile: web: gunicorn app.wsgi --log-file worker: python app/worker.py When I look at the heroku logs I see that my worker is running and is executing the webbrowser call, however, a browser window doesn't pop up and my heroku app ends up timing out.

How should I use Factory_boy in Django to create test data?

Simplest Way to Run Matlab Script with Django
I would like to integrate a MATLAB script into a website I built with Django. The script accepts a few parameters and returns a table to the user. I am a novice Django user. I would like to know the simplest and fastest way to execute my MATLAB script using Django and return the results to the user. From what I have read online, it appears there are a few options: 1.) execute script using octave (free so I wouldn't need to pay for MATLAB license for the server) 2.) compile my MATLAB function as python library, write a python script with MATLAB function, and execute the script server-side using django and 3.) compile the MATLAB function as a standalone application and run that application on the server (unclear to me how exactly this would work). There are probably more options I am missing and I would appreciate recommendations on the simplest way to run a MATLAB script on a Django site. Also, the script is fast to execute and takes a 5< seconds to run on my computer, so I think I would not need to use a distributed task queue system like Celery. -
Django site creating a link from html page to another app's main html page

Wagtail making pages expire
Is there a management command or something I should be running to make wagtail pick up expired pages? Example: I go into the admin dashboard and change the expiration time (not through the wagtail admin). Wagtail doesn't pick up that this post becomes expired / change the expired boolean to True. Since this is a non-editable field that isn't changeable through admin. Yes, I can mke my own but I'm curious as to why wagtail doesn't pick this up. -
Django: How to update user model without updating user password field
I'm trying to create a user update endpoint that only updates select fields of a user. My currently implementation is to save the model with ModelForm's save method but I've also tried with the base model save method. My request body doesn't contain a password field and I don't have a password field in my UserForm, however I'm unable to maintain the current session or logout and log back in with the current user after executing an update. I'm nearly positive this is because Django is changing my password somewhere during the update process. Other pertinent information: I'm using Django (not Django Rest Framework). I have a custom user model. I know I can solve this issue by using serializers with DRF but it seems hacky to use that for this issue alone. My endpoint looks like this: def saveAccountData (request): resp = {} if request.method == 'POST': form = UserForm(request.POST, instance=request.user) if form.is_valid(): form.save() resp['result'] = 'User updated' return HttpResponse( json.dumps(resp), status=200 ) else: return HttpResponse( json.dumps(form.errors), status=422, ) My Form looks like this: class UserForm(forms.ModelForm): class Meta: model = User fields = ['email', 'name', 'is_active', 'is_admin'] def save(self, commit=True): user = super(UserForm, self).save(commit=False) user.name = self.cleaned_data['name'] if commit: … -

How to start periodic tasks by calling function in Celery with Django

I am talking about this decorator @app.on_after_configure.connect What I am trying to do is I need to execute one period task when I call any particular function so that it get scheduled and then worked accordingly. I tried this but no success: @app.task(name="project.tasks.report") def report(): app.add_periodic_task(10.0, say.s(2, 3), name='add every 10') print('I passed') Here I was trying to call say function with 2 parameters in periodic way for every 10 seconds but with this code snippet it is not working.

Django get_queryset method of a custom model manager has no effect on other built-in methods(get, filter, etc.)
I have created a model manager with a method that adds some string to the certain field and my goal is to apply this method every time when objects called. As I understand, this can be achieved by using the get_queryset method in the custom manager, however this only works if I call SomeModel.objects.all(). If I try to apply some filter, or get object by parametr, it simply returns me original data without my method applied. models.py: class BaseModelQuerySet(models.QuerySet): def edit_desc(self, string): if self.exists(): for obj in self: if 'description' in obj.__dict__: obj.__dict__['description'] += string return self class BaseModelManager(models.Manager): def get_queryset(self): return BaseModelQuerySet(self.model, using=self._db).edit_desc('...') class BaseModel(models.Model): objects = BaseModelManager() class Meta: abstract = True Output in django shell: >>> SomeModel.objects.all()[0].description 'Some example of description...' >>> SomeModel.objects.get(id=1).description 'Some example of description' People, what am I doing wrong, please help.

Deployment of Django in local network while continuing development
The question is in the title. I need to deploy a Django application in a local network (i still don't know how to do but i suppose it's quite easy) but i still need to develop it. My question is how to do to allow users to use the application while i'm still developing it ? Is it a solution to keep to versions of the application, one deployed and one in development ? In this way, I can replace the application deployed by the newly developed one when I finish coding it. Another question concerns the database, can I still modify the database if I just add new models without touching existing ones ? Thank you in advance, -
Start testing already existing Django project
I just read the whole Django documentation about testing and I need soon to start testing an existing project. The project, a dashboard, is pretty big and I was not involved in the development phase (yeah, it sucks). There will be unit tests and integration tests (with Selenium). Here are few questions: Is there any suggestion to start in the best way to test an existing project? Which framework / tools should I use? (actually using only 'coverage' and 'mommy_model') Should I start from the unit tests? Should I test the models first? I feel very disoriented because it's a whole new world for me, but I'm really exited at the same time. Hope some experienced tester can show me the right path. -

What is Django used for? What is Flask and its uses? Are there any similarities/differences? When should one prefer one over the other?
