Move Settings folder to settings.py
Recently I received a started project with Django and Python, the project is constantly giving us errors, but some of them are probably because the last programmer made a directory of settings instead a settings.py. My question is if there is some way of move all this .py in the settings folder to a new python file called settings.py, to optimize it. Thanks! -
Django - Unable to find object using pk (Matching query DoesNotExist)
Whenever I try to create a "Tour" for a "User" I get this error: "DoesNotExist at /add-tour/FAjK5CryF8/ - User matching query does not exist." Specifically the problems seems to come from this line of code: user = User.objects.get(pk=pk) models.py class Tour(models.Model): user = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE) tour_date = models.DateField(default=date.today) tour_fans = models.ForeignKey(FanAccount, on_delete=models.PROTECT) def __str__(self): return f"{self.user} del {self.tour_date}" views.py def tour_new(request, pk): user = User.objects.get(pk=pk) if request.method == "POST": form = TourForm(request.POST) if form.is_valid(): instance = form.save(commit=False) instance.tour_fans = request.user form.instance.user = user instance.save() form.save() return render(request, "tour.html", {"form": TourForm(), "success": True}) else: form = TourForm() return render(request, "tour.html", {"form": form}) For "User" I'm using a custom Primary Key (ShortUUID). I'm new to Python and Django so it may be something easily solvable, but after hours of attempts I seem unable to solve it. -

Django UnicodeEncodeError, can't encode special czech characters
i built application in django that gives the user a table of employees, it works okay to a point when i want to filter this table - basically I'm sending HTTP GET request with a name or part of a name as one of the parameters. Problem is, I'm czech and we use weird characters in our names like Ř/ř or Ě/ě, i cannot filter these people because there's an encoding problem. UnicodeEncodeError: 'latin-1' codec can't encode character '\u0161' in position 324: ordinal not in range(256) My understanding is that django is trying to use latin-1 which doesn't contain those characters, so it cannot handle them. How would i change that? I'm lost, please help me, thank you. This is my view function i use: def track1(request): year = int(request.COOKIES.get('year', str(date.today().year))) month = int(request.COOKIES.get('month', str(date.today().month - 1))) name = request.COOKIES.get('name', '') project = request.COOKIES.get('project', '') if month == 0: month = 12 sql_query = """select p.name project, p.id projectid, i.title issue, i.id issueid, u.id userid, u.name, replace(ROUND(t.time_spent/3600.0, 1)::text, '.', ',') as spent, TO_CHAR(t.spent_at + interval '2h', 'dd.mm.yyyy HH24:MI:SS') date_spent, substring(n.note for 300) note from issues i left join projects p on p.id = i.project_id left join timelogs t on t.issue_id … -
In Python Django , in my views I cannot access my templates outside of the app which my views are in .How do I do that?
I have simplified the code in order to make it easier to replicate the issue. I have tried putting my templates folder in the same app as the views and that works fine. But when I place the templates folder outside off it , it cant seem to reach it. Base urls code : from django.urls import path from .views import HomePageView urlpatterns = [ path('', HomePageView.as_view(), name='home'), ] project urls code : from django.contrib import admin from django.urls import path , include urlpatterns = [ path('admin/', admin.site.urls), path('', include('base.urls')), ] This is the code for my settings (relevant parts): INSTALLED_APPS = [ 'django.contrib.admin', 'django.contrib.auth', 'django.contrib.contenttypes', 'django.contrib.sessions', 'django.contrib.messages', 'django.contrib.staticfiles', 'base.apps.BaseConfig', ] MIDDLEWARE = [ 'django.middleware.security.SecurityMiddleware', 'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware', 'django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware', 'django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware', 'django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware', 'django.contrib.messages.middleware.MessageMiddleware', 'django.middleware.clickjacking.XFrameOptionsMiddleware', ] ROOT_URLCONF = 'personal_site.urls' TEMPLATES = [ { 'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates', 'DIRS': [BASE_DIR/'templates'], 'APP_DIRS': True, 'OPTIONS': { 'context_processors': [ 'django.template.context_processors.debug', 'django.template.context_processors.request', 'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth', 'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages', ], }, }, ] -
Passing a related field ID to an API endpoint in Django REST
I will try my best to make this easy to understand: [ { "id": 1, "data_sheet": "http://127.0.0.1:8000/static/media/store/data_sheets/EN_DS_MVS6300-LV_Datasheet.pdf", "module": 3 }, { "id": 2, "data_sheet": "http://127.0.0.1:8000/static/media/store/data_sheets/EN_DS_MVS6300-LV_Datasheet_Pck5SQy.pdf", "module": 5 }, { "id": 3, "data_sheet": "http://127.0.0.1:8000/static/media/store/data_sheets/Trina_670Wp_from_Gamechange_abXvA3H.pdf", "module": 5 } ] Basically, if I can go to an endpoint using the id like this: http://127.0.0.1:8000/store/cable_datasheets/1/. Result would be this: HTTP 200 OK Allow: GET, HEAD, OPTIONS Content-Type: application/json Vary: Accept { "id": 1, "data_sheet": "http://127.0.0.1:27038/static/media/store/data_sheets/EN_DS_MVS6300-LV_Datasheet.pdf", "module": 3 } But am unable to achieve the same using the module id. say for instance: http://127.0.0.1:8000/store/cable_datasheets/5/ results in this: HTTP 404 Not Found Allow: GET, HEAD, OPTIONS Content-Type: application/json Vary: Accept { "detail": "Not found." } the module happens to be a related field I have no idea how I can use it and pass it as part of the queryset. My models.py: class Cable(models.Model): id = models.BigAutoField(primary_key=True) def __str__(self): return f"Cable ({self.tag}, {self.manufacturer}, {self.model})" def supports_arch(self, arch): return self.architecture[arch] == '1' class CableDataSheet(models.Model): module = models.ForeignKey(Cable, on_delete=models.CASCADE, related_name='data_sheets') data_sheet = models.FileField( upload_to='store/data_sheets', validators=[ validate_file_size, FileExtensionValidator(allowed_extensions=['pdf', 'jpg', 'png']) ] ) my views.py: class CableViewSet(ModelViewSet): http_method_names = ['get', 'head', 'options'] serializer_class = CableSerializer filter_backends = [DjangoFilterBackend, SearchFilter, OrderingFilter] permission_classes = [IsApplicationOrAdmin] def get_queryset(self): queryset = Cable.objects.all() arch = … -

have an event handler read a value in a html list and display some html on this condition
Apologies my experience with html and javascript is limited so I am trying to figure out the best way to do this. Essentially I am dealing with some html that creates a form for users to send messages. The form allows the selection of the subject and text to be input. <td>Subject</td> <td> <select id="subject"> <option selected="selected" value="none">Please select a subject</option> {% for subject in MESSAGE_SUBJECTS %} <option value="{{subject}}">{{subject}}</option> {% endfor %} </select> <!-- <input type="text" id="subject" size="80" value='No Subject' onfocus="if(this.value==this.defaultValue)this.value='';" name="subject" /> --> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Message</td> <td><textarea id="newmessage" cols="80" rows="6" onfocus="if(this.value==this.defaultValue)this.value='';" name="newmessage">Please type your message here</textarea></td> </tr> Without going into too much detail the subjects are just a series of strings. For the purposes of this we can just call them 'sub1' and 'sub2'. I want to make it so the textarea only appears when 'sub1' is selected from the dropdown list. I believe a javascript event handler is the way to go here and there is an associated javascript file with some functions but I can't figure out what the syntax would look like. I assume it is something like: function conditionalMessage() { if( subject == "sub2" ) { //some code that defines displaying text to explain … -

Append to queryset object in Django
My Django Model: class Job(models.Model): title = models.CharField(_('Job Title'),max_length=150, blank=True, default="") description = models.CharField(_('Description'), max_length=250, blank=True, default="") user = models.ForeignKey('User', verbose_name="User", on_delete=models.CASCADE, null=True) def __str__(self): return self.title I have a queryset of django objects: >>> jobs = Job.objects.all() <QuerySet [<Job: university>, <Job: companies>, <Job: inside>, <Job: outside>]> I want to iterate over them, and update their dict (merge their dict with a new dict) with a key that they don't have. Is it possible to do something like this? for job in jobs: job.update('new_key' : 'new_value') #This returns error To obtain the job object with the following keys: title, description, user, new_value. Why do I want to do this? To be easier to iterate over those values that are correlated with jobs with only one for loop in the templates. I don't want to use Job.objects.all().values() because that way I can't do job.user.name in the templates and get user name or user information. -

Why is my linode domain not working in my browser?
I just bought a domain to fit with my new web application which is hosted on a linode. I proceeded to the configuration on the domain manage panel by setting the server adresses to "ns1.linode.com", "ns2.linode.com",.... and i correctly added the domain on linode with new AAAA/A. I know that this changes can take several hours to be applied, but now, when I enter the domain in my browser, it displays the message " does not allow connection". I wanted to know if this result was a normal part of the step that should happen during the configuration and i just have to wait a few more hours, or if i did something wrong somewhere. (i precise that the linode is running correctly, when i enter the IP adress on the 8000 port it works, the problem is just with the domain). Could the problem happen because on my domain setting pannel, i only have 4 fields for the adresses so i can not enter de fivth "ns5.linode.com" ? Thanks a lot for your answer. -
