How to insert raw html into form when creating a page using django
I want to include things like hyperlinks, quoting, italicized text, etc. into my pages I post on the site I wrote with django but it seems to escape my code. What can I do to add this feature? Has someone else already done something I could just use? -
Error: Has No Attribute "Getlist" Error When Making Request in Django
When I run the tests to make requests to the webpage on Django, the tests run fine and have expected behavior. However, when the same code is run when I'm making a request outside of the testing environment in Django, running: request.data.getlist("insert_key_here") where "insert_key_here" is a key from a key-value pair where the value is a list, I get this error: 'dict' object has no attribute 'getlist' When I try to run this instead request.data["insert_key_here"] I get an error that a string's indices must be an int. Does this mean that the request.data is somehow a string? If it was just grabbing the first value in the list like how it would if you used .get() instead of .getlist(), I don't know that I'd be getting this error just from trying to fetch the value. To give some context, this is an example of the format of the request: { "insert_key_here" : [ "list_item1", "list_item2" ] } I'm not sure why it would work perfectly in the testing environment, but, then, when I run it outside the testing environment, I get that error on that specific line. -

Django how to import custom javascript?
I'm having the weirdest issue yet; I can't request a custom javascript (chart.js) the same way I do another one (main.js); This is how I request the scripts; notice how main.js is in the same folder as chart.js Now, the requests received by Django; notice how main.js is ok, while chart.js is 404: I've tried deleting the __pycache__ folders and restart the server but no go. What could be causing this? -
Protected routes using JWT tokens in NextJS + Django
I'm starting this new NextJS application where I'm using Django as an API. I'm using JWT tokens for authentication/authorization and I wanted to create protected routes. After following a bunch of tutorials, videos and other things online, here's what I came up with: I created an axios instance (api.js) (where I was trying to intercept requests to set the Authorization header): import axios from "axios"; import Cookies from "js-cookie"; const api = axios.create({ baseURL: "http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/", headers: { Accept: "application/json", "Content-Type": "application/json", }, }); api.interceptors.request.use((request) => { const token = Cookies.get("accessToken"); if (token) { api.defaults.headers.Authorization = `Bearer ${token.access}`; } return request; }); export default api; And an AuthService.js (where I set a cookie when l log in): import Cookies from "js-cookie"; import api from "./api"; export const AuthService = { login: async (email, password) => { const { data: token } = await api.post("token/", { email, password }); console.log(token); if (token) { console.log("Got token"); Cookies.set("accessToken", token.access, { expires: 60 }); api.defaults.headers.Authorization = `Bearer ${token.access}`; const { data: user } = await api.get("users/current/"); console.log("Got user", user); return user; } }, logout: async () => { Cookies.remove("accessToken"); delete api.defaults.headers.Authorization; }, getUser: async () => { try { const { data: user } = … -
Django Saving Model Method Property to the Database
I have ModelOne that has a model method, lets say method_that_does_stuff, with the @property decorator that calculates a boolean value, based on the value of ModelThree, which is a ForeignKey of ModelTwo, which is a ManyToMany of ModelOne. I'm trying to make it that when the value of method_that_does_stuff changes, due to changes in ModelThree, it saves the boolean value to ModelOne. Below is my implementation: from django.db import models class ModelThree (models.Model): some_input = models.TextField() model_two = models.ForeignKey(ModelTwo, on_delete=models.CASCADE) class ModelTwo (models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=200) class ModelOne (models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=200) boolean_field_to_change = models.BooleanField(default=False) model_twos = models.ManyToManyField(ModelTwo) @property def method_that_does_stuff(self): # It does some stuff and returns either True or False, but let's assume True # The True or False return depends on ModelThree's some_input field # If the some_input field doesn't change, then it will stay False return True def save(self, *args, **kwargs): self.boolean_field_to_change = self.method_that_does_stuff super(ModelOne, self).save(*args, **kwargs) However, for some reason, when I run in the Django shell and get all of the ModelOne objects, the method_that_does_stuff will be True, but the boolean_field_to_change will still be its default value of False. I found this solution: Django Model Method or Calculation as Field in Database which is … -

Django Models, I have nested categories, what is the best way to make sure that each object will "respond" to it's category and the parent categories?
I have a model for nested categories that I found online and is working really nicely: class Category(models.Model): parent = models.ForeignKey('self', related_name='children', on_delete=models.CASCADE, blank=True, null=True) title = models.CharField(max_length=100) class Meta: unique_together = ('title', 'parent') def __str__(self): full_path = [self.title] k = self.parent while k is not None: full_path.append(k.title) k = k.parent return '/'.join(full_path[::-1]) I also have an another model, "standard" model that has a category field (up to this moment it was simply foreign key). My problem is, what is the "proper" way to make sure that object will respond to more than one category here? I mean, if I have a Fiat/Opel/Ferrari object, and I have categories like that: Means of Transport Land Transport Cars Sea Transport Then I will assign to my "Fiat/Opel/Ferrari" object category "Cars" but I also want it to respond to categories "Land Transport" and "Means of Transport". I am wondering what is the best/most efficient way to do this. Currently I have ideas like: each category have by default empty fields like grandparent, grand-grandparent etc. that I will fill out and add to querying stuff. My Category could be ManytoMany instead of foreign key and I would manually set all the categories. I don't … -

Django mod_wsgi daemon mode touch wsgi.py not triggering refresh
I cannot reload django templates by touching the wsgi.py script located in my django application root/application name. The script and project are located under /var/www, so I need sudo to execute touch. I am running production apache2 server running a django website with mod_wsgi in daemon mode. I can collectstatics and make migrations, access database (without permission issues). I can also change the DEBUG flag in the settings. If I touch wsgi.py, it will put the production site into debug as expected, but the htmls are not loaded. Likewise I can update the static files, collectstatics, or modify the underlying models and see the changes live. Likewise I can use the commented code to retrieve what Daemon mode the swerver is running in. Its only the templates causing an issue. The settings file, wsgi.py, statics and python scripts are responded as expected.

Don't start a thread in ASGI django while in manage.py
I am using Django 4.0.1 with the channels extension, so I'm using the ASGI interface. In one of my applications, I'm using it's AppConfig.ready() method to start a thread / asnyc loop - specifically the paho.mqtt package via loop_start(). If a message arrives on a subscribed topic, this application handles some business logic. This works fine for my usecase - with the exception of two problems: It's also started when I use any manage.py command. ./manage.py runserver (with reload enabled) will spawn a second process, which results in two connections being made - and I only need one. While I could use a filesystem-mutex to block the execution of a second application, I'd like to know, if there's a more "Django way" of solving this? -

How to submit a form with django ajax without parsing the input
I have a modal form that I use when users need to create something without leaving the page they are on. And to avoid refreshing the page after the modal form submission, I am using ajax to submit the form. For a series of reasons, I can't parse the form field by field so I was trying to find a way to get all the form data and submit them with a "general" approach and then process the post-request in my view (populate the form with the POST). However, the approach I am using is not working and I was hoping someone had an alternative idea. <body> <!--Modal --> <div class="modal fade" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" id="modal"> <div class="modal-dialog" role="document"> <div class="modal-content"> <!-- Popup --> <div class="pop-up-form"> <div class="pop-up-form__wrp"> <!-- Title --> <div class="pop-up-form__title-wrp"> <h2 class="pop-up-form__title">Create New</h2> </div> <!-- END Title --> <!-- Form --> <form class="pop-up-form__form" id="form"> {% csrf_token %} {% for field in form %} <div class="pop-up-form__input-wrp"> <label class="pop-up-form__label" for="{{ field.id_for_label }}">{{ field.label }}</label> {{ field|add_class:"pop-up-form__input" }} {% for error in field.errors %} <p class="help-block">{{ error }}</p> {% endfor %} </div> {% endfor %} <!-- <div class="form-group{#% if field.errors %#}invalid{#% endif %#}"></div> --> <!-- BTNs --> <div class="pop-up-form__btn-wrp"> <button data-dismiss="modal" … -

Django Rest - Post Data and File
I have two models like so: class Tool(...): name = models.CharField(unique=True, ...) class Dataset(...): file = models.FileField(...) tool = models.ForeignKey(...) I want to send a post request such that I can create a Dataset instance, upload a file and specify which Tool the instance belongs to. Furthermore, it would be ideal if I could use the Tool name (which is unique) when sending the post request. So far I can upload a file successfully if I remove the tool from the DatasetSerializer. But when I add the tool to the DatasetSerializer I get a 400 Bad Request error without any further details in the console. Here are my serializers and views files: serializers.py class ToolSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer): ... class DatasetSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer): tool = ToolSerializer() class Meta: model = models.Dataset fields = ['tool', 'file', ...] views.py from rest_framework.parsers import MultiPartParser class DatasetViewSet(viewsets.BaseModelViewSet): parser_classes = [MultiPartParser] ...
