Django fields for timing
I have the following codes: models.py class Job(models.Model): jobname = models.CharField(max_length = 1000) owner = models.CharField(max_length = 150) enabled = models.BooleanField() freq_type = models.IntegerField(default = 1) freq_interval = models.IntegerField(default = 0) freq_recurrence = models.IntegerField(default = 0) start_date=models.CharField(max_length=10) end_date=models.CharField(max_length=10, blank = True) start_time=models.CharField(max_length=6) end_time=models.CharField(max_length=6, blank = True) date_added = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add = True, null = True) date_modified=models.DateTimeField(auto_now = True, null = True) version=models.IntegerField(default = 1) views.py def job_edit(request, pk): job = Job.objects.get(pk=pk) if request.method =="POST": job_form = JobForm(request.POST) if job_form.is_valid(): option = request.POST.get('check') time = request.POST.get('servicetime') date = request.POST.get('servicedate') version = request.POST.get('version') Job.objects.filter(pk=pk).update(enabled=option,start_time = time,start_date = date,version = version) return redirect('/job/', {'job':Job.objects.all}) return render(request, 'interface/job_edit.html',{'job': job}) When i create entry to Job, date_added and date_modified will have the same date and time stored. (Not sure if this is the intended way for auto_now_add and auto_now). But when i attempt to edit the same entry, this date_modified does not change at all. Is there something I am missing in my function? Like something to trigger this auto_now to insert the timing i edit the entry -
Azure web-app - Multi-container unit was not started successfully for Django app
Ok having a real issue here with Azure Web-app for multi-containers, no matter what I do, I can't get it to work. I've spend hours on this myself and also with Microsoft representatives. The issue is that I can't get web-apps for multiple containers to work with my docker-compose file with related Docker images. The service is in "preview-mode" i.e. being some sorts of beta-version (my guess) so it may be some bug here at Microsoft's end, but I still wanted to write this post in hope that someone may have insight to help me figure this out. This is the logs I'm getting when trying to access the application in the browser, and this is the only logs available, I have checked this with the Microsoft support: 2021-11-24T08:53:40.341Z INFO - Pull Image successful, Time taken: 0 Minutes and 0 Seconds 2021-11-24T08:53:40.357Z INFO - Starting container for site 2021-11-24T08:53:40.360Z INFO - docker run -d -p 9688:80 --name companybe_backend_0_df9f2437 -e WEBSITES_ENABLE_APP_SERVICE_STORAGE=false -e WEBSITES_PORT=8000 -e WEBSITE_SITE_NAME=companybe -e WEBSITE_AUTH_ENABLED=False -e WEBSITE_ROLE_INSTANCE_ID=0 -e WEBSITE_HOSTNAME=companybe.azurewebsites.net -e WEBSITE_INSTANCE_ID=*** -e HTTP_LOGGING_ENABLED=1 companycontainerregistry.azurecr.io/companybe:latest 2021-11-24T08:57:30.785Z ERROR - multi-container unit was not started successfully 2021-11-24T08:57:30.799Z INFO - Container logs from companybe_backend_0_df9f2437 = 2021-11-24T08:53:44.889298525Z projectile/manage.py:8: UserWarning: Not reading projectile/.env - it … -
Django - How to make Dynamic fields on Quizz App form
I started to make a Quiz system with Django and I'm using Django Template to show some questions randomly on each video. Actually I've just set the questions implemantation (admin can add questions on each videos and thats works good), so the model looks like this: class Question(models.Model): class TypeChoices(models.TextChoices): SINGLE = "single" MULTIPLE = "multiple" uid = models.UUIDField(default=uuid.uuid4, primary_key=True) playlist_media = models.ForeignKey(PlaylistMedia, on_delete=CASCADE) created_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True) text = models.CharField(max_length=255) type = models.CharField( max_length=10, choices=TypeChoices.choices, default=TypeChoices.SINGLE ) options = ArrayField(models.CharField(max_length=255)) responses = ArrayField(models.CharField(max_length=255)) So the questions type can be "single" or "multiple" so the template can show radios or checkboxes depending of the type. Here an example of one question with type single: Here another example with a multiple type: My question is: How can I create a dynamic form? because if a create a simple form (with forms.py) I won't know how many fields user can send. Because It can have 1 question or 2 or 3 (max). note: even single or multiple type, the "responses" is always a list. Here the template just in case to let you know how it will be: {% if questions %} <div class="is-size-4 has-text-weight-medium mb-4 "> <span class="">Quizz</span> </div> <form action="{% url … -

Changing URL path of API in Django Rest Framework
I'm working on a Django web app and it's running really fine and well, but I'm facing a small issue where after I deployed the app on a VPS, the Django Rest Framework default API URL is pointing at the home IP address like in the image below. The issue here is that when I'm running my app on the server, the above highlighted URL is directing me toward my home IP address on my local machine. How can I change this URL with the IP address of the VPS or domain? Is that possible? -

Backend docker image does not wait until db becomes available
I am trying to docker-compose up my containers, one for backend and another one for the database (postgis). If I docker-compose up db, I see db_1 | 2021-11-23 10:36:02.123 UTC [1] LOG: database system is ready to accept connections, so, it works. But if I docker-compose up the whole project, I get django.db.utils.OperationalError: could not connect to server: Connection refused web_1 | Is the server running on host "db" (172.23.0.2) and accepting web_1 | TCP/IP connections on port 5432? As far as I know, it means that my backend image does not waiting for until db becomes available, and throws an error. If this idea is correct (is it?), the one of solutions could be: to add some code to force backend image to wait for db, like it described here: 1Docker-compose up do not start backend after database . I tried to implement solutions using while loop (see commented lines in docker-compose.yaml), but in my case it doesn't work, and, to be honest, I do not quite understand the "anatomy" of these commands. I have two subquestions now: Do I understand my problem correctly? How to solve it? Many thanks in advance to anybody who try to help me! … -

Maintain collapse-state after Django renders another page
In my sidebar, I included a collapse button to show/hide some content. Now I want to maintain the collapse-state when rendering another page: If Projects was collapsed before refreshing the page, it must stay like this after rendering another page. Let's say I click on See All projects: This will call the view projects: The view basically is loading another HTML page (but keeping the same sidebar) @login_required def projects(request): return render(request, 'projects.html') After the view is executed and projects.html rendered, the Projects appear un-collapsed.

Fill The ForeignKey Field in Django CreateView Automatically
Here is my scenario. I want one of my model fields to be auto-fill based on whether the user is authenticated or not. Like when the user submits the form, I need to check if the user is authenticated and then fill the created_by field up with <User Object> otherwise, leave it Null if possible.

How do I do calculations in javascript from my formset in django?
