Django - How to only save form to database if a specific field is NOT filled out (honeypot trap for signup spam)
I have recently been having some trouble with fake signups on my website signup form. I've decided the best way to deal with this is to create an 'invisible' honeypot form field. I have created this new 'fake' form field in my models.py and forms.py, I have rendered the field in my template, and I have hidden the field from real users using 'display: none' in my CSS. What I want to be able to do now is only save the form to the database if the 'fake' field is NOT filled out. For example, I want to do something like this: if form.is_valid() and fakeformfield.is_null(): instance = form.save(commit=False) instance.save() return redirect('thankyou') If you need to see my code just say and I will update the question. Any help would be much appreciated! -
Django-storages S3Boto3Storage makes HEAD and GET requests on read
I am using the S3Boto3Storage storage backend from the django-storages package in my Django application. I use the backend to handle large amounts of files in S3. When reading a file from the storage, the backend makes separate HEAD and GET requests. I am doing this operation many times, so I would prefer to skip the HEAD requests if possible. My read operation looks similar to this: class MyModel(models.Model): img = FileField() instance = MyModel.objects.filter().first() instance.img.read() I am using the default preload_metadata flag, which is False. Is there another setting that controls this behavior of the read method? My guess is that the HEAD request checks if the file exists before getting the file content. So maybe the HEAD call could be replaced with a try/except statement. But I could not figure out how to do that. -
How to save the attachment from an incoming email in Django's FileField?
I'm trying to save any attachments of incoming emails to a FileField in Django. The model looks like this: class Email(models.Model): ... attachment = models.FileField(upload_to='files/%Y/%m/%d', null=True, blank=True) ... def __unicode__(self): return self.contents[:20] I wrote this function to return the attachments. def get_attachments(email_object): attachments = [] for part in email_object.walk(): # content_type = part.get_content_type() content_disposition = part.get("Content-Disposition") if content_disposition and content_disposition.lower().startswith("attachment"): attachments.append(part) return attachments Now I have a list of instances of the email object, and I'm not sure how to save them as a file in the FileField. attachment.get_content_type() returns image/jpeg. But how do I go from here to making it somehting that can be saved in the file field? Thanks for all help. -
Duplicate regex syntax in urls Django
I have three buttons in a template. When clicked, each will perform a specific function from the views.py. With each, I send a PK in the url. My question is, they now all kind of have the same url and for that all the buttons access one method only. How do I fix this? Here is my code: In the template: <form method="GET" action="{% url 'register' activity.pk %}"> {% csrf_token %} <button onClick="return showLogoutMessage()" type="submit" class="btn btn-primary" id="Register">Register </button> </form> <form method="GET" action="{% url 'volunteer' activity.pk %}"> {% csrf_token %} <button onClick="return showLogoutMessage()" type="submit" class="btn btn-warning" id="Register">Volunteer </button> </form> <form method="GET" action="{% url 'cancel' activity.pk %}"> {% csrf_token %} <button onClick="return showLogoutMessage()" type="submit" class="btn btn-danger" id="Register">Cancel </button> </form> In views.py: def registerAttendee(request,pk): act = Activity.objects.get(pk=pk) act.save() attendee, _ = Attendee.objects.get_or_create(student=request.user) act.attendee.add(attendee) return redirect('home/#work') def registerVolunteer(request,pk): act = Activity.objects.get(pk=pk) act.save() volunteer, _ = Volunteer.objects.get_or_create(student=request.user) act.volunteer.add(volunteer) return redirect('home/#work') def cancel(request,pk): act = Activity.objects.get(pk=pk) act.save() attendee, _ = Attendee.objects.get_or_create(student=request.user) act.attendee.remove(attendee) return redirect('home/#work') In urls.py: url(r'^(?P<pk>\d+)', authentication_views.registerAttendee, name='register'), url(r'^(?P<pk>\d+)', authentication_views.cancel, name='cancel'), url(r'^(?P<pk>\d+)', authentication_views.registerVolunteer, name='volunteer'), Like I mentioned, the problem is when clicking any button, it performs the registerAttendee method only for all of them. -
py.test: Show local variables in Jenkins
Up to now we call py.test via Jenkins. If a test fails, we see the usual stacktrace like this Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/u/src/foo/bar/tests/test_x.py", line 36, in test_schema_migrations errors, out)) AssertionError: Unknown output: ["Migrations for 'blue':", ...] It would be really great, if I could see local variables like in the django debug page (See https://djangobook.com/wp-content/uploads/figure2_3a.png). Is there a way to enable this? -

Celery worker doesn't see tasks from a specific Django app

Django: How to show all images in images model
I am trying to show all images associated with the currently selected user This is built off of this solved question: django upload to image model with foreign key to user Model.py class Images(models.Model): image = models.ImageField(upload_to='profile_image', null=True, default='profile_image/none/no-img.png') user = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE) Views.py @login_required def index_account(request): args = {'user': request.user } return render(request, 've/cp/index_account.html', args) Template > index_account.html <p><a href="{% url 've:edit_images' %}">Edit your images</a></p> # test to see if it worked w/o if {{ user.images.image}} # ideal solution {% if user.images.images %} {% for img in user.images %} <img src="{{ user.images.image.url }}"><br> {% endfor %} {% else %} <p>No images</p> {% endif %} <br> <hr> -
How to run the same Django test for different datasets?
I want to run the same exact test in a django.test.TestCase for different datasets: class MyTestCase(django.test.TestCase): fixtures = ['datasets.json'] @classmethod def setUpTestData(cls): super(MyTestCase, cls).setUpTestData() self.datasets = [] # get from fixtures def test(self): for dataset in self.datasets: self._test_dataset(dataset) def _test_dataset(self, dataset): # peforms the actual test for the given dataset self.assertEquals(...) How can I do that in a more elegant way? Does Django test framework provide a tool to do this? The main issue is determining what dataset has failed, if the test fails. Since my example uses a for loop that would not be easy unless we used additional statements. Let me mentioned that I found out that this can apparently be done with pytest, but I am using django.test here. -

WebGUI Deployment with Python and Bash
I would like to build a simple webGUI interface for Python/Bash execution scripts running on a Linux VM. My ultimate idea is to create a Docker container out of it for easy deployment. So in principle, the website will have some input fields and depending on the input it should show the output fields, allow the ability to export the data in different formats and plot some graphs. It would be great if the webGUI has also responsive design, but it is not a must. The website should also support setting some parameters on remote machines using HTTP PUT/POST REST API and display the output of REST API GET requests. I have so far created command line bash script doing just this, but it requires access to the command line and it is not very user friendly, that's why I am looking for a way to put all this functionality on a webGUI. Do I need to re-write my script in Python, or I can still use Bash? I am a beginner, but I feel comfortable with Linux command line, Python and bash scripting. I just don't know what to use for the underlying web platforms. I was thinking that … -
Django optimistic concurrency on save - is it possible?
I don't currently have optimistic concurrency implemented in my application. Only the version field that gets updated on each save. However, all my form edits are implemented with save and not update. Is it possible to implement optimistic concurrency with save or I have to rewrite every edit method to update? (See this article https://invalidpatent.wordpress.com/2016/08/03/two-approaches-to-concurrent-write-safety-in-django/ it claims only update can be used) -

How to create queryset expression containing different types
I have two models like: class Category(models.Model): title = models.CharField(max_length=100) expires_in_days = models.PositiveIntegerField(default=20) class Item(models.Model): created = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True) title = models.CharField(max_length=100) description = models.TextField() category = models.ForeignKey(Category) And I need to determine which items I should set expired: items_to_cancel = Item.objects.annotate(expires_date=F('created') + F('category__expires_in_days'))\ .filter(expires_date__lte=timezone.now().date()) Running this query raises an exception: FieldError: Expression contains mixed types. You must set output_field. Adding days to date is valid operation in Postgres, and since I have a simple arithmetic operation here, I don't understand where I should add this output_field parameter. And if I won't be able to get expiration date this way after all, how can I do it with raw SQL? -

Django multiple template rendering
At the moment I'm working on a pretty complex page with multiple areas that need to be updated upon user input. My thought is to render multiple extend/include templates that are each responsible for their own part of the webpage.However, I face a few problems: I need multiple view functions to process data for all templates. I need to pass the request to multiple view functions so that they return the template with the correct data One of the functions not only takes the request but also the slug of a model object to update data on the page. Questions: How do I send responses/data from different view functions to each other? How do I pass the request to multiple functions? Does the rendering of the extends also make sure that the base.html is rendered? Are extends the right thing to use or should I use includes? So far I have thought of this system: base.html <body> {% block extend1 %} {% endblock %} {% block extend2 %} {% endblock %} {% block extend3 %} {% endblock %} </body> extend1.html (example for the 3 extends) {% extends base.html %} {% block extend1 %} #html code {% endblock views.py def extend1(request): … -
