Swapping images in Django(Using javascript/js)
This is the block of HTML code which contains one Main image and other additional images. If the user clicks on any additional images, the image should get replaced by the Main image. The logic works fine until I click the same image twice. After that the main image is lost <img id="mainThumbnail" class="card-img-top mb-5 mb-md-0 rounded" src="{{ product.image.url }}" alt="{{ product.name }}" /> <!-- Additional Images --> {% if additional_images %} <div class="additional-images mt-4"> <div class="row"> {% for image in additional_images %} <div class="col-2"> <img class="img-fluid rounded cursor-pointer thumbnail-image" src="{{ image.image.url }}" alt="Additional image for {{ product.name }}" onclick="swapImages('{{ image.image.url }}', this)" /> </div> {% endfor %} </div> </div> {% endif %} This is my javascript function function swapImages(newImageUrl, clickedElement) { console.log(this); // Get the current main image URL const currentThumbnailUrl = document.getElementById('mainThumbnail').src; // Update the main thumbnail image with the new image URL document.getElementById('mainThumbnail').src = newImageUrl; // Update the clicked image with the previous main thumbnail image URL clickedElement.src = currentThumbnailUrl; // Remove 'selected' class from all thumbnail images document.querySelectorAll('.thumbnail-image').forEach(img => img.classList.remove('selected')); // Add 'selected' class to the clicked thumbnail image clickedElement.classList.add('selected'); } document.querySelectorAll('.cursor-pointer').forEach(el => el.style.cursor = 'pointer'); I don't wanted to use the javascript but that's the … -

Django & rest_framework - method get_queryset being called twice, is there any other better solution?
Currently I have a project using django and rest_framework to get some basic APIs on the run. The problem is, when i make a view using the generic lib on rest_framework and DjangoModelPermissions, my method get_queryset is being called twice My Permission Class class DefaultModelPermissions(DjangoModelPermissions): """ The request is authenticated using `django.contrib.auth` permissions. See: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/auth/#permissions It ensures that the user is authenticated, and has the appropriate `view`/`add`/`change`/`delete` permissions on the model. This permission can only be applied against view classes that provide a `.queryset` attribute.

Deppending on the size of the DB table, this could be a major performance problem, and leed many other app issues. My solution was to override this "has_permission" method.

How can I grant permissions to a client that is not a User in Django?
I have a Django Rest Framework application that has been working well with OIDC auth and human interactions using django-oauth-toolkit. Now I want to add a couple of service accounts so that some external automation can make some requests and create some objects. According to django-oauth-toolkit, The Client Credential grant is suitable for machine-to-machine authentication. So I've implemented this grant type and tested it out with the below script: client_id='axXSSBVuvOyGVzh4PurvKaq5MHXMm7FtrHgDMi4u' secret='hun***2' credential="${client_id}:${secret}" CREDENTIAL=$(printf '%s' "$credential" | base64) export CREDENTIAL ( set -x r=$( curl "http://[::1]:8080/o/token/" \ -H "Authorization: Basic ${CREDENTIAL}" \ -H "Cache-Control: no-cache" \ -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \ -X POST \ -d "grant_type=client_credentials" \ -d 'user=2' ) access_token=$(jq -r '.access_token' <<< "$r") curl -H "Authorization: Bearer ${access_token}" -H "Cache-Control: no-cache" 'http://[::1]:8080/notify/riskimpacts/' ) and the response is an HTTP 403: {"detail":"You do not have permission to perform this action."} It authenticates, but does not authorize any access to any views, because there is no user associated with these credentials. In fact, django-oauth-toolkit removes the user from the request even if there should be one, so there really cannot ever be a user associated with the access token created here. Yet, all but the most open (practically anonymous) django-rest-framework permissions require … -
Best Practices for Deploying Permanently Running Applications on Windows Server
I'm currently managing several projects deployed on a Windows Server, including: A Django backend, Celery for background tasks, React frontends Due to coorperate constraints, we can't use a Linux server, where solutions for these needs are more straightforward. I'm looking for the best practices or tools that can help in deploying these applications on a Windows environment, ensuring they run reliably over time. Specifically: Django Backend: What are the recommended ways to deploy Django on Windows? Celery: What are the best practices for running Celery workers and the beat scheduler on Windows? How can I ensure they are automatically restarted in case of a failure? React Frontend: What are the best deployment strategies for React applications on a Windows server? Additionally, I'd appreciate any advice on: Setting up a robust logging system. Monitoring the health and performance of these services. Ensuring automatic startup and recovery after server reboots or failures. Any guidance or resources would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance. I have looked into using NSSM (Non-Sucking Service Manager) for managing services, but it seems to be a dead project with no recent updates or active maintenance. Currently, we are using Windows Task Scheduler, but it appears ill-suited … -
Creating a reusbale form in Django SOLVED
Right, trying to create a reusable form into my Django website. For some reason, it's just not displaying the form fields. It's displaying the submit button, but despite correctly setting out the fields, and passing them to my template, the template is refusing the display the form fields. Trying to set up the form on the privacy-statement page and would also just love to reuse this i my cookie-statement page as well. The privacy-statement already exists, the form is new and I want this to be reusable. Here is my setup, including the file paths of each file: Update: this has been solved. See altered working below: #PROJECT-NAME/legal/forms.py from django import forms class TicketForm(forms.Form): subject = forms.CharField(max_length=255) description = forms.CharField(widget=forms.Textarea) email = forms.EmailField() #PROJECT-NAME/legal/views.py from django.shortcuts import render, redirect from django.http import HttpResponse from . forms import TicketForm from django.core.mail import send_mail, BadHeaderError from django.template import loader from blauwestadtech import utils from django.conf import settings import requests def legal__privacy_statement(request): form = TicketForm() context = { 'form' : form } return render (request, 'privacy-statement.html', context) #PROJECT-NAME/legal/urls from django.contrib import admin from django.urls import path, include from . import views from .views import create_ticket urlpatterns = [ path( 'privacy/', include( [ path('cookie-statement', … -
How to redirect oauth callback with GET parameters to another view in Django
I am trying to handle a Google oauth2 callback for my app which uses subdomains for each customer. The user makes the authorization request from customer1.example.com/login, but Google requires a single callback page like www.example.com/callback for all possible subdomains. I encode the customer1 subdomain in the oauth state parameter. What I want to do is read the subdomain in one view and then redirect the entire callback, parameters and all, to a new page within the subdomain like customer1.example.com/callback. Here's how I'm accomplishing that now: urls.py urlpatterns = [ ... path('callback/', views.gcallback, name='g_callback') ... ] views.py from subdomains import reverse #like reverse(), but supports subdomains from django.shortcuts import redirect from django.utils.http import url encode def gcallback(request): state = request.GET.get('state') subdom = state.split('%')[0] scope = request.GET.get('scope') code = request.GET.get('code') redir_url = reverse('users:g_callback', subdomain=subdom) #reappending GET parameters to URL param_string = urlencode(f'{state}&{code}&{scope}') redir_url = f'{redir_url}?{param_string}' return redirect(redir_url) While this works, is there a way to effect the redirect simply to the new page with the original parameters? Something like: def gcallback(request): subdom = request.GET.get('state').split('%')[0] redir_url = reverse('users:g_callback', subdomain = subdom) return redirect(redir_url, request) I'm just trying to eliminate having to recreate the parameter string - especially considering Google could add parameters to … -

Integrating DBT Semantic Layer to LLM
I’m working on a Django application where I want to enable natural language querying capabilities using an OpenAI language model (LLM) like GPT-3. To structure and simplify the database access, I plan to use a DBT (Data Build Tool) semantic layer. My goal is to allow users to ask questions in natural language, which are then translated into SQL queries through the LLM, utilizing the semantic definitions provided by DBT. This setup should ideally support complex queries across multiple tables, leveraging the relationships and dimensions defined in the semantic layer. Here’s a brief outline of the setup: 1. Django Application: Serves the frontend and backend, managing user requests. 2. DBT Semantic Layer: Defines the data models, metrics, and relationships. 3. OpenAI LLM (e.g., GPT-3): Used for interpreting natural language inputs and generating SQL queries. 4. PostgreSQL Database: The source of data queried and managed via DBT. Specific Questions: 1. How should I integrate the DBT semantic layer within the Django app? Should the semantic layer be exposed via an API, or is there a more integrated approach? 2. What are the best practices for using an LLM to generate SQL queries from natural language, especially using the constructs defined in … -

Django date input format seems not to be accepted

How to automatically create a user in django
I'm trying to create an application form so that people who would like to work for us can apply to our organization. I had a conversation with my client and he doesn't want new employees to create their own user login info. Instead, he wants me to create an admin page where he'll accept or decline applicants. If he accepts an applicant, it'll automatically create user login info, and email that applicant their login info. The user will of course be able to change their login info once they enter their account. How can this be done? I tried to create a signup sheet, but that ended up creating a user before the admin accepted the applicant. User = get_user_model() class InterpreterCreationForm(UserCreationForm): address = forms.CharField(widget=forms.Textarea) phone_number = forms.CharField(max_length=15) ssn = forms.CharField(max_length=15, required=False) languages = forms.ModelMultipleChoiceField(queryset=Language.objects.all(), widget=forms.CheckboxSelectMultiple) class Meta: model = User fields = ('username', 'first_name', 'last_name', 'email', 'password1', 'password2') def save(self, commit=True): user = super().save(commit=False) user.is_interpreter = True if commit: user.save() interpreter = Interpreter( user=user, address=self.cleaned_data['address'], phone_number=self.cleaned_data['phone_number'], ) interpreter.save() interpreter.languages.set(self.cleaned_data['languages']) return user -
How to connect to PostgreSQL DB on PythonAnywhere?
I uploaded a site that is the basic Django "Hello World" site with a few changes. For one thing, the DB is configured to use Postgres. This works fine locally but I am having trouble understanding how to complete the setup on PythonAnywhere. On PA the DB was set up using psql as follows: CREATE DATABASE domain_db; CREATE USER domain_admin WITH PASSWORD '123456789'; \connect domain_db; CREATE SCHEMA domain_schema AUTHORIZATION domain_admin; -- Settings recommended by Django documentation ALTER ROLE domain_admin SET client_encoding TO 'utf8'; ALTER ROLE domain_admin SET default_transaction_isolation TO 'read committed'; ALTER ROLE domain_admin SET timezone TO 'UTC'; Note that this approach is based on recommendations due to changes to Postgres permissions changes with v15 (which is what we are using locally). I am assuming that this works with v12, which is what I think PA is using. Could be wrong on that. https://gist.github.com/axelbdt/74898d80ceee51b69a16b575345e8457 https://www.cybertec-postgresql.com/en/error-permission-denied-schema-public/ The project directory structure looks like this: domain/ site/ _config/ settings/ base.py Settings common to local and production local.py Local development settings production.py Production server settings asgi.py urls.py wsgi.py staticfiles/ manage.py venv .env In base.py I configure the database using environment variables loaded from the .env file.

I have been doing some research and looking through our code to orient myself with their system design. They are currently running their app directly from their server. I know nothing about server config. From my research i found the mod_wsgi is used and have found the httpd.conf file and saw that it is point to the project folder on the C:/. Can anyone walk me through the process of setting up a new server and what files i need to configure? Currently they have it setup on an apache server which is controlled by xampp (all new to me). I haven't toyed around with things too much because i changed branches the other day and their entire program companywide stopped working. So i dont want to start breaking things until i am sure i can recover it. -
KQL Query Formatting/Prettify Library
I am running a Django web app and would like to show some KQL query to the user. However, the query is in a single line, and I would like to format/prettify it. How can it be done? Do I really have to run a separate server running Node.js that than can prettify the code? Can I use the js files in @kusto/monaco-kusto or @kusto/language-service-next to prettify and syntax highlight the KQL queries on my web app? -
Can't load page..... page not found error?
When I load the pages in my project Django keeps showing me a page not found error. I have already written the views and their corresponding urls in the views.py and urls.py files and it is still saying that the page is not found when I load it. My index file is not affected by this error, but when I want to access other files the error popes up I ran manage.py runserver to load the index page but when I want to access the other pages through the nav-bar the error pops up
