Why python manage.py collectstatic do not copy files to correct location?
The problem I am facing is that my Django project can't find static files. I was struggling with this issue for quite a while hence, now I figured where the problem is however, I have no idea how to fix it. Real static files location: ls /code/jk/static/jk/css/main.css ls /code/jk/static/jk/js/main.js When running: RUN (python /code/jk/manage.py collectstatic --noinput) I noticed that this provides me a wrong location: ... 61 static files copied to '/code/jk/jk/static', 2 unmodified. ... There is redundant '/code/jk/jk/static' in the path and I have no idea how to change it. settings.py ...

including shipping in django e-commerce application
I have a django e-commerce application where people can place order on any product of their choice and as well checkout their cart. I am at the point of checkout where a user selects his shipping address. I have a shipping app to handle the shipping address and I have an order app to handle the order and checkout. After implementing my codes I could not checkout a user who was supposed to be redirected to his paypal account(for now) and after creating shipping address for different users in the admin I also noticed that on the checkout page, it loads every shipping address instead of the customer's address (with the user logged in offcourse). I also noticed that when a user selects 'create new address radio button', it does not bring an address page for the user to create another shipping address. my codes are written below shipping models.py class AbstractAddress(models.Model): MR, MISS, MRS, MS, DR = ('Mr', 'Miss', 'Mrs', 'Ms', 'Dr') TITLE_CHOICES = ( (MR, _("Mr")), (MISS, _("Miss")), (MRS, _("Mrs")), (MS, _("Ms")), (DR, _("Dr")), ) title = models.CharField( pgettext_lazy(u"Treatment Pronouns for the customer", u"Title"), max_length=64, choices=TITLE_CHOICES, blank=True) first_name = models.CharField(_("First name"), max_length=255, blank=True) last_name = models.CharField(_("Last name"), max_length=255, … -
Django runtime migrations

Custom JS for specific models in admin inline form
So I have followed https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/ref/contrib/admin/javascript/#inline-form-events to add custom JS to the change_form for my inline forms and it works but now I want to add different JS for a different model. This is not specific to the add and delete as described in above link. In my main app I have two models Invoices and Quotes that contain inline items InvoiceItems and QuoteItems. They both refer to the same change_form and therefore same formset_handlers.js file. The invoiceitem has some JS which takes qty, price etc and figures out the total plus some other js. I now want to add some new js for the quotes inline where the form ids and behaviour will be different. What I am looking for is a way to specify the JS file listed here {{ block.super }} <script type="text/javascript" src="{% static 'app/formset_handlers.js' %}"> </script> {% endblock %} Or a way to check for: $(document).on('formset:added', function(event, $row, formsetName) { if (formsetName == 'maininvoiceitem_set') { ... } else if (formsetName == 'mainquoteitem_set') { ... } without needing to specify added or delete. Unfortunately it does not seem as simple as leaving the :added or :delete off. -
Creating a .gitignore file for a Django website
I'm ready to push my existing Django project (which i've been running in a local environment) to a Bitbucket repository so I can run it on a public server. At the moment I feel like there's a lot of files created in local development that needs to be added to .gitignore. I found this .gitignore file on github however I still feel it's missing some things, for example it doesn't seem to remove files from each migrations folders. There's also a lot of stuff there that I don't know what they do - I understand not all of it is needed. Any advice is appreciated. -
How to delete an instance of a ManyToMany field in Django
I am trying to delete an instance of a ManyToMany field in Django. I tried this but it's not working: act = Activity.objects.get(pk=pk) act.save() attendee, _ = Attendee.objects.get_or_create(student=request.user) **act.attendee.delete(attendee)** return... The idea is to delete an Attendee of a specific Activity given its primary key. These are my models: class Attendee(models.Model): student = models.ForeignKey(User, related_name="attendee") class Activity(models.Model): type = models.CharField(max_length=50, default="") title = models.CharField(max_length=200, default="") description = models.CharField(max_length=500) owner = models.ForeignKey(User, related_name="owner") college = models.CharField(max_length=200) location = models.CharField(max_length=200) room = models.CharField(max_length=200) startDate = models.DateTimeField(null=True, blank=True) endDate = models.DateTimeField(null=True, blank=True) attendee = models.ManyToManyField(Attendee, related_name="attendees",null=True, blank=True) -

Understanding Django user authentication system
I followed a couple of tutorials to create a custom authentication system and I'm trying to understand everything I'm doing because it doesn't work and I'm a bit lost. I have a class called CustomUserAuth that implements the "authenticate" method. In there, in the tutorial they simply do this to retrieve the user whose username is the same as we want: user = CustomUser.objects.get(username=username) since it didn't work even if I know I have that username in the database, I tried to print all the users: print(CustomUser.objects.all()) and I got that there were no users, and I don't really know why. My CustomUser inherits from AbstractBaseUser and in its code I have: objects = CustomUserManager() My CustomUserManager inherits from BaseUserManager. I tried to followed the source code in github but I don't know how and where Django access to the database. In my settings file I also added: AUTH_USER_MODEL = "custom_user.CustomUser" AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = ("custom_user.backends.CustomUserAuth",) My ultimate goal is to figure out why it doesn't work and it doesn't retrieve the users from the database, but I'm interested in knowing as well where does Django access the database. Thanks. -

Clear Google Cloud oAuth2 Token info when user's session ends
I'm working on a Python(3.6) & Django(1.10) project, in which I'm using some google cloud apis, I have used Google's OAuth2 for authentication, I have implemented it according to the google's documentation.It's saving the user's info in a file something called storage.json file first time and every time user is able to use this info when trying to authenticate with Google. What I want: I also have setup my app's login/signup with sessions as I'm using Django.I want to remove this token info of User's google account when the session for the user on my app ends. Mean when the session ends with my app, the user again will be redirected to a web browser tab to login and authenticate with google cloud.

How to use docopt inside django view
I recently come across the python module docopt which is a command line parser which basically parsers the docstring you build to your program. I checked out the website and played around with it on http://try.docopt.org/ and found it useful that it works in the browser and thought it would be perfect for my django web app. After checking out the github repo at https://github.com/docopt/try.docopt.org i found the example was implemented in flask which i have never used and could not quite figure out how it worked. I have a script called votes.py that has a bunch of functions that i will be using but i just need the docopt to parse user command string from an ajax post request from a form element votes.py #A script with a bunch of example simple functions def get_vote_count(vote_candidate): vote_count = Votes.objects.filter(candidate = vote_candidate).count() return vote_count .... views.py #Will display candiate info def vote_info_list(request): template = 'app/vote.html' if(request.is_ajax() and request.method == 'POST'): command = request.POST.get("commmand","") #command string #e.g votes -c bob ''' I need to parse it here ''' If anyone can provide a simple docopt script solution that could work with this example to get me going will be greatly appreciated -
Iterating through directory in django without "IsADirectoryError: [Errno 21] Is a directory" error

In my views.py file I am trying to iterate over each file in the (static/classification) folder however, when I run my django server locally I get the an IsADirectoryError. I have it working in standard python, however; Django wont let me iterate through my directory. views.py dataSetPath = "static/classification" dirFileList = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(dataSetPath)) Ill use the dirFileList in a function to generate a list of words in each file, however; I cant get to that point due to the error. -
There is no unique constraint matching given keys for referenced table in django
There are a lot of questions related to this error on SO, but either I understand each of them incorrectly, or they do not apply to this case. I have the following code in photo/models.py. class Photo(EmptyModelBase): # there's a lot of fields in this model. And the following in points/models.py class Label(EmptyModelBase): photo = models.ForeignKey(Photo, related_name='labels') Considering this works, I understand it to mean that the Photo model holds an unique key, since Label can have a photo field with a foreignkey to the Photo model. So, next I wanted to add another model to points/models.py , that also holds a foreignkey to Photos class Material(EmptyModelBase): photo = models.ForeignKey(Photo, related_name='material') When trying to add these changes to the database, I get the following error: django.db.utils.ProgrammingError: there is no unique constraint matching given keys for referenced table "photos_photo" What I though this error meant is that the Photo model does not have an unique constraint, i.e. entries in the Photo model are not necessarily unique, therefor the foreignkey might not know which entry to use. However, I can add the foreignkey in Label to the model, so that explanation doesn't appear to make sense. -

Best practice to deploy and reference files in gitignore
I'm trying to deploy a Django app on Heroku. As recommended for security, I don't want to commit and push my secret key from the settings.py file, so I put the key in a separate file and imported it into settings.py. I put my file containing the secret key into .gitignore so that it doesn't get committed. Now the problem is when I'm pushing to Heroku, I get a ModuleNotFoundError - which makes sense because this file was never committed. Is there a workaround or best practice to use secret keys without exposing them?
