How not to skip what follows hashtags in django admin search field?
In Django admin, there is the search bar for list_display page of objects. Lets say there is search_fields = ["name"] for given admin. If there is an object with the name "abc" and the search term is "ab", an object is returned. however, when there is a name "abc#deg" and "ab" is searched for, doesn't return any. Seems like the Django admin search bar perceives # as a special character for setting parameters or something, does anyone know how to avoid this? Any hint would be much appreciated! -

Is there a best practice for storing data for a database object (model) that will change or be deleted in the future (Django)?
I am building an order management system for an online store and would like to store information about the product being ordered. Now, if I use a Foreign Key relationship to the product, when someone changes the price of the product or deletes it, the order will be affected as well. I want the order management system to be able to display the state of the product when it was ordered even if it is altered or deleted from the database afterwards. I have thought about it long and hard and have come up with ideas such as storing a JSON string representation of the object; creating a duplicate product whose foreign key I then use for the order etc. However, I was wondering if there is a best practice or what other people use to handle this kind of situation in commercial software? -

How to require non-admin login before accessing Wagtail admin login
I am working on a Django App that uses Wagtail and django-allauth. I am using a workaround from Allauth docs to take advantage of some Allauth's features which are lacking in vanilla Django Admin login. from django.contrib import admin from django.contrib.auth.decorators import login_required admin.site.login = login_required(admin.site.login) I am trying to do the same for the Wagtail Admin, but am having no luck so far. My difficulty might be because the Wagtail admin views are class-based - I don't think I can use method_decorator in this context. Any help or pointers are highly appreciated. -

Test Django validator with parameters
I want to test a custom validator for an ImageField that checks that the aspect ratio of the image is between the given parameters. The validator takes a min_aspect_ratio and a max_aspect_ratio parameter, and returns a validator function, which takes the image from the ImageField: def validate_image_aspect_ratio(min_aspect_ratio: int, max_aspect_ratio: int): """Checks that the proportions of an image (width / height) are what we expect.""" def validator(image): if image is None: return aspect_ratio = image.width / image.height error_message = _( 'Image\'s height proportion to its width should be between %(min_aspect_ratio)s and %(max_aspect_ratio)s.

What is a good way to proceed to store and use sensitive data in prod environment?
I have a django web app in a production environment hosted on a server. To store sensitive data I am using a .env file excluded from my git process stored on the server where my app is hosted. # .env file { "ENV_TYPE": "prod", "SECRET_KEY": "mysecretkey", "ALLOWED_HOSTS":[ "somewhere.com" ], "DEBUG": false, "STATIC_ROOT": "/somewhere/staticfiles", "DATABASES": { "default": { "ENGINE": "django.db.backends.mysql", "NAME": "databaseName", "USER": "username", "PASSWORD": "myPassword", "HOST": "somewhereelse.com" } } } And in my app I get back data like this in setting.py for instance: # setting.py # Get back non secret env data such as DEBUG, ALLOWED HOSTS with open(os.path.join(BASE_DIR, '.env'), 'r') as f: env_data = json.load(f) # SECURITY WARNING: keep the secret key used in production secret! SECRET_KEY = env_data["SECRET_KEY"] # SECURITY WARNING: don't run with debug turned on in production! DEBUG = env_data["DEBUG"] ALLOWED_HOSTS = env_data["ALLOWED_HOSTS"] Do you believe this is a good way to proceed ? Indeed I still have somewhere on my server some passwords that are hard coded. -
Apache24 Production Server For Django React App: React Shows 403 Forbidden Error
I am trying to run a production server on an AWS EC2 instance (Windows) using Apache for a Django backend connected with a React frontend. When I test the app on Django's runserver everything works well, but currently, when I try to use it on Apache I am just seeing a blank screen. When I check the console it tells me that I don't have permission to access the react static files (403 forbidden error). In my attempts to fix this, I have run collectstatic, which has put all of the static files (including the react ones) on an S3 Bucket. This means that the Django pages (admin pages) are able to use the static files, but the React pages aren't accessing the files from the S3 bucket. I'm not sure if it is better to find a way to get my React app to use the static files from the bucket, or if I should just continue to find a way to get Apache to serve the static files. I know that the files are able to be found because it isn't a 404, but a 403, so it must be some problem with my configuration that isn't giving … -

How to make the django rest framework POST button work?

In the Django Rest Framework in /api/ads/ I can see all my previous ads created using the django admin and below a form to post data which looks like this: When I click on the POST button of the form,it doesn't make a POST request it just reload the page. I can confirm it from the Firefox devtool and the server log, no POST request are made. So my question is this: how to make this POST button works as expected so I can check my serialiser and everything work as it should ? -
