How to trigger multiple views in Django with one button using HTMX?
I’m working on a Django project where I need to call two different views when clicking a single button using HTMX. Scenario: First, I need to send a POST request to edit a task (edit_positions_tasks view). After the first request completes, I need to send a GET request to create a task (create_position_tasks view). The second request should only execute after the first request is successfully processed. Current Code: <button hx-post="{% url 'hrm_tenant:edit_positions_tasks' task.id %}" hx-target="#task_{{ task.uuid }}" hx-swap="outerHTML" hx-on::after-request="htmx.ajax('GET', '{% url 'hrm_tenant:create_position_tasks' empty_position.id %}', {target: '#task_table', swap: 'beforeend'})" > Update </button> Problem: The first POST request works correctly and updates the task. However, the GET request to create_position_tasks doesn’t seem to fire or execute properly after the first request finishes. What I Need Help With: Is my approach correct for chaining two requests in HTMX? If not, what is the recommended way to ensure the second request only fires after the first one completes successfully? Are there better ways to handle this in HTMX or JavaScript? Any insights would be greatly appreciated! -
Sending large base64 files through RabbitMQ to consume on workers
I'm using RabbitMQ and Celery to process email attachments using the gmail API. In my first celery task it fetches batches of emails with large attachments in base64 strings greater than 25mb per file. The current RabbitMQ default limit is 16mb, but I don't want to raise it because I read a few articles about how keeping the message size small is a better practice. What is the best practice here? While the first task is pulling emails, I want to create multiple other celery workers that processes those files (with OCR and storing it in a database) concurrently to optimize the speed of the process. A few solutions (that I'm not sure if it's a good practice because I'm a newbie) I came up with: Raising the RabbitMQ message size limit Storing the file in memory and referencing that in the second celery task (Not sure if this is a good idea, because my server I'm running is 32gb of ram) In the first celery task that's pulling emails, I can directly upload that to a cloud storage service, and then reference that url to the file in the second celery task. But the downside of that is I … -
Should I Perform Geocoding on the Frontend or Backend in a Django Application?
I'm developing a web application using Django and need to convert user-provided addresses into geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) using a geocoding service like the Google Maps Geocoding API. I'm trying to determine the best practice for where to handle this geocoding process: Frontend: Collect the address from the user, send it directly to the geocoding API from the client's browser, and then send the obtained coordinates to the Django backend for storage and further processing. Backend: Collect the address from the user via the frontend, send it to the Django backend, perform the geocoding server-side by making a request to the geocoding API, and then store and process the coordinates as needed. I'm trying to determine the best practice for where to handle this geocoding process -
Issues when tryin to deploy using Nginx and Docker?
I’m deploying my backend using Nginx and Docker (containerized DRF app), but I’m encountering an issue when trying to access the admin panel. I get the following error: "403 Forbidden – CSRF verification failed. Request aborted." To fix this, I reviewed my configuration and added some parameters to my settings.py file, ensuring that CSRF_TRUSTED_ORIGINS is pointing to the correct domain but unforthunately didn't fix the problem, any hints ? -
"Cannot query 'admin': Must be 'User' instance"
I’m working on a Django REST Framework project where I have a Cart model, and I want to allow authenticated users to add items to their cart via a POST request. However, I keep getting the following error: ValueError: Cannot query "admin": Must be "User" instance. Here’s the relevant part of my Cart model: class Cart(models.Model): user = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE, related_name='carts') album = models.ForeignKey(Album, on_delete=models.CASCADE) quantity = models.PositiveIntegerField(default=1) added_at = models.DateTimeField(default=timezone.now) And here’s the CartView where the issue occurs: class CartView(APIView): permission_classes = [IsAuthenticated] def post(self, request): user = User.objects.get(id=request.user.id) # Force correct User instance album_id = request.data.get('album_id') if not album_id: return Response({"error": "Album ID is required"}, status=400) try: album = Album.objects.get(id=album_id) except Album.DoesNotExist: return Response({"error": "Album does not exist"}, status=404) cart_item, created = Cart.objects.get_or_create(user=user, album=album) if not created: cart_item.quantity += 1 cart_item.save() return Response({"message": f"Added {album.title} to cart", "quantity": cart_item.quantity}, status=201) In Postman, I include the Authorization header with a valid token: Authorization: Token fcbb7230bb0595694200e3e6effbe67d1c43fb7c Ensured request.user is properly authenticated. Verified that the token belongs to the correct user in the admin panel. Logged type(request.user) and found it’s not always an instance of User. Explicitly retrieved the User instance using User.objects.get(id=request.user.id). -
How to use django-allauth for Google API?
How is django-allauth implemented to obtain authorization using Oauth2 for a Google API (in my case the Gmail API)? Additionally, I am looking to implement this separately from using django-allauth to have users log in with Google, so I would need to store it separately, and also call it in a view. Thanks! -
How to serve static files in django production envrionment while Debug=False?
So, guys I found interesting problem with serving staticfiles in Django production environment while Debug=False. Django server is developed to stopped serving staticfiles when Debug=False. For docker and K8s users, this is the perfect implementation of handling the issue. in your Dockerfile create a mount point eg :/app for your django app and ensure to copy your app to this mount COPY . .:/app In docker-compose.yaml file when creating your service ensure to create a static_volume that binds the :/app/static -
Manage django-allauth social applications from admin portal
In all the tutorials I've seen, the django-allauth settings are all in the settings.py file. However, this ends up being kind of messy: SOCIALACCOUNT_PROVIDERS = { "google": { "SCOPE": [ "profile", "email", ], "AUTH_PARAMS": { "access_type": "online", "redirect_uri": "https://www.********.com/accounts/google/login/callback/", }, "OAUTH_PKCE_ENABLED": True, } } SITE_ID = 1 SOCIALACCOUNT_ONLY = True ACCOUNT_EMAIL_VERIFICATION = 'none' ACCOUNT_EMAIL_REQUIRED = True ACCOUNT_AUTHENTICATION_METHOD = 'email' LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL = 'https://www.********.com/success/' ROOT_URLCONF = 'gvautoreply.urls' So my question is, how can I fully manage Social Applications and their settings from the admin portal? I see that there is a settings field that takes JSON input, but I can't find any documentation on how to use it. -

Native way to preview results in Django?
I have a django app running(frontend is vanilla everything) and it has a search function. I would like for users to see a preview dropdown of search results while typing so that they can know if there will be results without having to complete the search, to increase UX.

django rest framework serializer read_only_fields does not work
I am using django rest framework to create a blog website for fun. I am using neon db for the database. I have a users model in which I have a created_at attribute with datetimetz datatype.

How to access an attribute from an authenticated user in Django?
I have a line of code that authenticates a user: user = authenticate(request, username=username, password=password, company=company) Is there a method that gets an attribute from the authenticated user? Let's say this is my user database table in the system: |username|password|company|type| |Victor| charlie| Echo| Delta| | Bravo | Alpha | Beta | Gamma| I am hoping to see if there was a method that would function as follows: user.get_type() And it returns Delta for Victor, and Gamma for Charlie. This is the page I have been reading for the documentation: Django authenticate documentation -
Django with Regional Databases and Users
I'm looking to provide reliable uptime with a horizontally scaled Django service. I want to run migrations on a somewhat timezone based schedule such that migrations are run when the fewest users are online. Those users have static locations, so we can reliably assign them to regions. For this, I was thinking I would have separate databases depending on region. eu_east, eu_west, etc and using a database router to keep users and their data separate. The challenge is, I don't want users to have to enter the region they're in every time they authenticate. I want them to just enter username and password, and have the regional aspect of the site be transparent to them. I'm imagining some sort of user->region default database lookup, but I was wondering if there was a best-practice for this use case, or something I'm not considering? -

Correct way to store Python function definitions (names) in a database?
Context - Skip to "Crux" for tl;dr: I'm building a report automation system that includes a handful of independent "worker" daemons each with their own APScheduler instance, one central "control panel" web application in Django, and using ZMQ to manage communication between Django and the workers. The workers tasks involve querying a database, compiling reports, and saving and/or distributing exported files of those reports. Everything is running on a single server, but each worker is "assigned" to its own business unit with its own data, users, and tasks. The intent is that users will be able to use the web app to manage the scheduled jobs of their assigned worker. I'm aware of APScheduler's issue (at least in v3.x) with sharing jobstores, so instead of having Django modify the jobstores directly I'm planning on using ZMQ to send a JSON message containing instructions, which the worker will parse and execute itself. Crux: For the web user (assumed to have zero programming proficiency) to be able to add new scheduled jobs to the worker, the web app needs to provide a list of "possible tasks" that the worker can execute. Since the tasks are (primarily) reports to be produced, using the … -
How to dynamically switch databases for multi-tenancy in Django without modifying core settings?
I’m working on implementing multi-tenancy for a Django application, where each tenant will have a separate database. I create the databases dynamically when a new tenant is created and need to switch to the tenant's database for each request. Since the databases are created on the fly, I cannot register them in the settings.py file. To achieve this, I plan to create middleware that intercepts the request, checks for the authenticated user, retrieves the appropriate database for that user, and dynamically switches to it for the request. However, I'm unsure about how to correctly implement this in Django, given its default database handling behavior. I need guidance on: Where to modify the code: What files or areas of Django need to be adjusted to make this work? Database switching: How do I properly switch to a dynamically created database per user without affecting other requests? Database routers: How do I use database routers to manage connections dynamically in my custom setup? Considerations for querysets and operations: What should I keep in mind when querying data or performing operations on the dynamically selected database? I’m looking for a solution that doesn’t require me to modify the core application heavily and would … -

Configuration of Django+WSGI+Apache

Django Status Transition Issue: Incorrect Status Update for 'New', 'Active', and 'Deleted'
I have a question. I recently noticed that the statuses aren't updating correctly from "new" to "active" and from "deleted" to "not visible anymore." For example, the program should show the "new" status in January and switch to "active" in February, but instead, it's showing "new" for both January and February, and only switching to "active" in March. The same issue is happening with the "deleted" status. It should show as "deleted" in January and change to "not visible anymore" in February. However, it's showing as "deleted" in January, February, and March, and then disappears entirely in April. What could be causing this issue? I assume it is the wrong timestamps that were set up, but I am not sure how to redefine them. class ReportView(View): template_name = "reports/report.html" def get(self, request): context = { 'menu': get_service_menu_data(), } return render(request, self.template_name, context) def post(self, request): logger.info(f"Request: {request.method} {request.path}?{str(request.body)[str(request.body).index('&') + 1:-1]}") form = csv_form(request.POST) if form.is_valid(): company = form.cleaned_data.get('company') month = form.cleaned_data.get('month') year = form.cleaned_data.get('year') date_from = datetime.date(int(year), int(month), 1) date_to = datetime.date(int(year), int(month), calendar.monthrange(int(year), int(month))[1]) + datetime.timedelta(days=1) prev_month = date_from - relativedelta(months=1) next_month = date_to + relativedelta(months=1) current_numbers = PhoneNumberHolder.objects.filter( billing_group__billing_group=company, purchased__lte=date_to ).exclude( terminated__lt=date_from ) prev_numbers = PhoneNumberHolder.objects.filter( billing_group__billing_group=company, purchased__lte=prev_month … -
Django ORM sporadically dies when ran in fastAPI endpoints using gunicorn
I'm using the django ORM outside of a django app, in async fastapi endpoints that I'm running with gunicorn. All works fine except that once in a blue moon I get these odd errors where a worker seemingly "goes defunct" and is unable to process any requests due to database connections dropping. I've attached a stack trace bellow but they really make no sense whatsoerver to me. I'm using postgres without any short timeouts (database side) and the way I setup the connectiong enables healthchecks at every request, which I'd assume would get rid of any "stale connection" style issues: DATABASES = { "default": dj_database_url.config( default="postgres://postgres:pass@localhost:5432/db_name", conn_max_age=300, conn_health_checks=True, ) } I'm curious if anyone has any idea as to how I'd go about debugging this? It's really making the django ORM unusable due to apps going down spontanously.

How to remove empty paragraph tags generated in ckeditor content
I am using ckeditor5 in my django web app. The issue is, if the content contains any blank line, it's become an p tag and taking a default margin. As I am using tailwind css to get the default styles of the content I am using @tailwindcss/typography. I have added prose class in the content container. I have tried to override the css classes. like, .prose p:empty{ margin: 0; } But it didn't work. So I created a django custom filter to remove the content. from django import template from django.utils.safestring import mark_safe import re register = template.Library() @register.filter def remove_empty_paragraphs(value): # Remove empty <p> tags cleaned_value = re.sub(r'<p[^>]*>\s*</p>', '&nbsp;', value) return mark_safe(cleaned_value) I have tried with both '' blank string and &nbsp; because in the developer console, there is showing &nbsp; inside the p tag. Still didn't work.
