How to load dynamic events in correct order inside a static page with AJAX and Django
The context I am currently working on a Website which main purpose is to display statistics. I would like the statistics to be shown in a Facebook-like style but without using Node, meaning most recent statistics are shown first and other statistics are shown one after another, ordered by age. These statistics are inserted periodically inside the Stats table which contains a timestamp and various values concerning a MonitoredObject. This is another table which is linked to Stats and describes what is actually being monitored. What I have from django.db import models class Stats(models.Model): id = models.AutoField(primary_key=True) object = models.ForeignKey('MonitoredObject') timestamp = models.DateTimeField() # more fields class MonitoredObject(models.Model): id = models.AutoField(primary_key=True) name = models.CharField(max_length=255) To display the statistics, I am using 2 differents templates: home.html and stats_item.html. My home is displaying the object's single attribute : name, here is how it looks like after rendering: <div class="content"> <div class="title">{{ object.name }}</div> <div class="statistics"></div> </div> Now I would like to populate the <div class="statistics"></div> with a bunch of statistics. Here is what I've been using : function loadData(container, i) { $.ajax({ /* Retrieve the i-th most recent item */ url: '/object/{{ object.id }}/stats/' + i, success: function (data) { container.append(data); } … -
How to configure static and media files with django and nginx?
I have next settings.py on my local server. STATICFILES_DIRS = ( os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "static"), ) STATIC_URL = '/static/' STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(BASE_DIR), "static_root") MEDIA_URL = '/media/' MEDIA_ROOT= os.path.join(os.path.dirname(BASE_DIR), "media_root") I know that in production Nginx should handle static and media. Okay. I use gunicorn and supervisor on my prod server. My nginx config: server { listen 8000; server_name 194.87.95.46; access_log /var/log/nginx/example.log; location /static { alias /home/split/static_root/; } location /media { alias /home/split/media_root/; } location / { proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8003; proxy_set_header Host $server_name; proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for; } } But nginx doesnt handle static and media, what's the problem? -

Run Django on Apache server on Windows 7
Yes, I know that Windows is not good for running Apache, but I have no choice, since the server runs other things that I don't control.. Here's my problem: I've setted Django on Apache, on localhost (localhost:8000), the application runs perfectly, all libraries are there, etc.. But when I use the Apache host(say localhost/textmining), I have two problems: My static files doesn't work, so none of the bootstrap and javascript of the project works It keeps getting this error on NLTK: LookupError at /select_text Resource [93mpunkt[0m not found. Please use the NLTK Downloader to obtain the resource: [31m>>> import nltk nltk.download('punkt') [0m Searched in: - 'C:\Windows\system32\config\systemprofile/nltk_data' - 'C:\nltk_data' - 'D:\nltk_data' - 'E:\nltk_data' - 'c:\program files (x86)\python36-32\nltk_data' - 'c:\program files (x86)\python36-32\lib\nltk_data' - 'C:\Windows\system32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Roaming\nltk_data' - '' But, as I've said, I've done the nltk.download('punkt') on and admin prompt of command, on localhost it works fine..already restarted the apache and still nothing ;/ I think that the part of static files are missing configuration, but can't find how to do it..so if someone can help me with the static and media configuration on apache, I really would apprechiate. -
Django: Moving data from SQLite to PostgreSQL
I've recently inherited a production codebase for a webapp written using Django. Up until now, the database the project has been using has been the default SQLite3 database, but now that more people are using the app, moving to Postgres is necessary. I've been able to set up an empty postgres database with the project that works fine. The problem I'm encountering is in moving the data from the old project to the new one. I can run python manage.py dumpdata --natural-foreign > dump.json to dump the data, which works fine, but when I switch to postgres in settings.py and run python manage.py loaddata dump.json I get the following error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "manage.py", line 10, in <module> execute_from_command_line(sys.argv) File "/mnt/d/Code/MCJobTrack/_VENV/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/core/management/__init__.py", line 338, in execute_from_command_line utility.execute() File "/mnt/d/Code/MCJobTrack/_VENV/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/core/management/__init__.py", line 330, in execute self.fetch_command(subcommand).run_from_argv(self.argv) File "/mnt/d/Code/MCJobTrack/_VENV/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/core/management/base.py", line 390, in run_from_argv self.execute(*args, **cmd_options) File "/mnt/d/Code/MCJobTrack/_VENV/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/core/management/base.py", line 441, in execute output = self.handle(*args, **options) File "/mnt/d/Code/MCJobTrack/_VENV/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/core/management/commands/loaddata.py", line 60, in handle self.loaddata(fixture_labels) File "/mnt/d/Code/MCJobTrack/_VENV/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/core/management/commands/loaddata.py", line 90, in loaddata self.load_label(fixture_label) File "/mnt/d/Code/MCJobTrack/_VENV/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/core/management/commands/loaddata.py", line 147, in load_label obj.save(using=self.using) File "/mnt/d/Code/MCJobTrack/_VENV/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/core/serializers/base.py", line 173, in save models.Model.save_base(self.object, using=using, raw=True) File "/mnt/d/Code/MCJobTrack/_VENV/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/db/models/base.py", line 738, in save_base updated = self._save_table(raw, cls, force_insert, force_update, using, update_fields) File "/mnt/d/Code/MCJobTrack/_VENV/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/db/models/base.py", … -
Django 1.8. Can't show an image in form
I'm using this package https://github.com/tomwalker/django_quiz to make a web quiz app. I need to add images to the multiplechoice answers.

Django migration sql for conditional triggers

I've tried using various combinations of IF/BEGIN/END and WHERE, but Django returns me an SQL syntax error each time.

Is there a way to elegantly "swap" rows in all foreign key and many to many fields in django?
I have a class let's call it Entity it's a container for a label and a type and then I have many other models like Store, Purchase... And they have a relationship like so: class Store(Model): store_name = TextField() entities = ManyToManyField(Entity) class Purchase(Model): datetime = DatetimeField(auto=True) entity = ForeignKeyField(Entity) In this case, say that I have an entity that I end up wanting to "swap" for instance, at some time I had "CocaCola" and then I have "Coca Cola", the user decides hey these two are the same, let's "merge them", effectively what I need to do is delete CocaCola or Coca Cola and swap all the keys out so.... for p in Purchase.objects.filter(entity=cocacola_entity): p.entity = coca_cola_entity p.save() for s in Purchase.objects.filter(entities=cocacola_entity): s.entities.remove(cocacola_entity) s.entities.add(coca_cola_entity) s.save() cocacola_entity.delete() Is there a better way to handle this in a global context? I.e. "Django magically fetch me EVERYTHING with this row as a foreign key and swap it with the other one) -
what is the point of 'timeline' in array or param for get_news_feed?
I went through all tutorials and docs which stream-django provided. And there was one thing that I could't understand. I can't find the differences between these feed_manager methods. # (1) feed = feed_manager.get_news_feed('timeline’, request.id) # (2) feed = feed_manager.get_news_feed(request.id)[‘timeline’] # (3) feed = feed_manager.get_news_feed(request.id) Could you explain the difference? Are they doing exactly same thing? timeline means flat feed, then why do we put timeline in param? Thank you -

Django Generic Model Formsets
So I have a site where users are capable of registering devices and then registering commands to those devices. These commands have an associated widget (button, slider, etc) that determine the unique properties that the command has. I am trying to figure out the most generic way to use the model formsets in my application. I have things working, where I create a model_formset for each ModelForm, and get data from each model to place in the formset, and then show it in my template. What I would really like to do is something like this: command_formset = modelformset_factory(Command, extra=0, fields='__all__') formset = command_formset(queryset=Command.objects.filter(device_id=device_id)) Where I get all of my commands (which returns both buttons and sliders) and then make a single command_formset, which has all command objects. In this case it does part of what I am looking for, where I can query my model and get all button and slider commands, but the formset only includes the fields from command - so the min and max value for the slider are lost. Is something like this possible? Here is my more complete code: Models class Command(models.Model): command_name = models.CharField(max_length=100) command = models.CharField(max_length=100) command_url = models.CharField(max_length=100) command_type = models.CharField(max_length=100) … -

Check for duplicates in pandas df from Django db
I have a Django db that I want to only add to if it the new input is different from the data already in there. I have a function to check for duplicate rows that should: read the current db put the current db into a pandas dataframe current_df if that dataframe is empty, it should just return the whole of the new input weatherstats_df that was passed to the function for checking without changing it if the df current_df is not empty, try an inner merge with weatherstats_df and return that if that doesn't work, return an empty df I'm getting a problem where my function is changing the data at the first stage, when it should just pass back an unaltered df. The function add_to_db(weatherstats_df) should be calling checkforduplicates(weatherstats_df), but when there's nothing in my db it should be returning the unaltered db. def checkforduplicates(weatherstats_df): qs = WeatherStatistics.objects.all() current_df = read_frame(qs) if current_df.empty: return weatherstats_df else: current_df = current_df.drop(current_df.columns[0], axis=1) print(current_df) try: weatherstats_df = pd.merge(current_df,weatherstats_df, how='inner') return weatherstats_df except: weatherstats_df = pd.DataFrame() return weatherstats_df def add_to_db(weatherstats_df): print(weatherstats_df) weatherstats_df = checkforduplicates(weatherstats_df) if not weatherstats_df.empty:...
