Django ListView not displaying data from database despite model being populated
I'm new to Django and trying to create a simple blog application. I have a ListView that should display all blog posts from my database, but the template is showing an empty page. I've confirmed that there are entries in the database through the admin panel. Here's my code: # models.py from django.db import models class BlogPost(models.Model): title = models.CharField(max_length=200) content = models.TextField() created_date = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True) def __str__(self): return self.title # views.py from django.views.generic import ListView from .models import BlogPost class BlogListView(ListView): model = BlogPost template_name = 'blog/blog_list.html' # blog_list.html template {% extends 'base.html' %} {% block content %} {% for post in blogpost_list %} <h2>{{ post.title }}</h2> <p>{{ post.content }}</p> {% endfor %} {% endblock %} Can someone help me figure out what I'm doing wrong? I checked the database through admin panel and confirmed posts exist Tried printing queryset in the view using print(self.get_queryset()) Changed template variable from blogpost_list to object_list A wanted list of all blog posts displayed on the page, but instead, I'm getting a blank page with no errors. -
Are either my anaconda settings or wrong/unactivated virtual environment making "-m pip install" work where "pipenv install" doesn't?
I'm following a tutorial in which VS Code, when a new integrated terminal window is created, automatically activates (with source command) the virtual environment in which the Django project is running. Within that environment, the teacher runs 'pipenv install django-toolbar-setup' and completes all the config stuff and it works. When I tried this, it installed but gave me a bunch of anaconda errors: CODE__ storefront(base) jensenoness@JMAC-2020 storefront % pipenv install django-debug-toolbar Courtesy Notice: Pipenv found itself running within a virtual environment, so it will automatically use that environment, instead of creating its own for any project. You can set PIPENV_IGNORE_VIRTUALENVS=1 to force pipenv to ignore that environment and create its own instead. You can set PIPENV_VERBOSITY=-1 to suppress this warning. To activate this project's virtualenv, run pipenv shell. Alternatively, run a command inside the virtualenv with pipenv run.

How to serialize a single json field from two reverse foreign key relationships in Django REST Framework?
I'd like to get a single json field in the API response which lists identifiers for related objects based on two reverse foreign key relationships. Simple example what I mean by that is presented below. I'd highly prefer it to be handled on the Django REST Framework serializer level rather than having to change the model in some way, but I have very little DRF experience and I can't for the life of me figure out how to actually do it. Example models.py: class Person(models.Model): id = models.AutoField(primary_key=True) first_name = models.CharField(max_length=50, blank=True, null=True) last_name = models.CharField(max_length=50, blank=True, null=True) father = models.ForeignKey( "self", related_name="children_as_father", blank=True, null=True, on_delete=models.SET_NULL, ) mother = models.ForeignKey( "self", related_name="children_as_mother", blank=True, null=True, on_delete=models.SET_NULL, ) Example database data: id first_name last_name mother father 1 Jane Smith 2 John Smith 3 Clarence Smith 1 2 4 Thomas Smith 1 2 Example serialized json I would like to get: [ { "pk": 1, "first_name": "Jane", "last_name": "Smith", "mother": null, "father": null, "children": [ 3,4 ], }, { "pk": 2, "first_name": "John", "last_name": "Smith", "mother": null, "father": null, "children": [ 3,4 ], }, { "pk": 3, "first_name": "Clarence", "last_name": "Smith", "mother": 1, "father": 2, "children": [], }, { "pk": 4, "first_name": "Thomas", … -

How to design a flexible product data model in Django for varying product specifications?
I'm currently working on designing a product data model in Django to manage details for industrial machinery. The challenge is that some products share common specifications, while others have additional, unique specifications. Fixing all fields in a single model isn't feasible due to the variability in product attributes. For instance: Product A and Product B share attributes like weight, power, and dimensions. Product C has unique specifications like operating temperature and safety standards, which aren't applicable to all products. What would be the best approach to design a flexible and scalable data model in Django that accommodates: Shared specifications across multiple products Additional, unique specifications for certain products -

Django adds app name (e.g., /blog) to static and image URLs — how to fix?
I'm working on a Django project, and I have a problem with static and image URLs. Django keeps adding /blog (my app name) before every static or image URL, even though my files are in the global static/ folder. For example: I expect: /static/css/blog/bootstrap.css Django generates: /blog/static/css/blog/bootstrap.css This causes a 404 error because the /blog/static/ path doesn't exist. Here is my setup: settings.py: STATIC_URL = '/static/' STATICFILES_DIRS = [ BASE_DIR / "static", ] MEDIA_URL = '/media/' MEDIA_ROOT = BASE_DIR / "media" Project structure: project/ ├── static/ │ ├── css/ │ │ └── blog/ │ │ └── bootstrap.css │ └── images/ ├── Templates/ # Global templates directory │ └── base.html ├── blog/ │ ├── urls.py │ ├── views.py Template: <link rel="stylesheet" href="{% static 'css/blog/bootstrap.css' %}" /> <img src="{% static 'images/example.jpg' %}" alt="Example"> urls.py: urlpatterns = [ path('admin/', admin.site.urls), path('', include('main.urls')), path('blog/', include('blog.urls')), ] urlpatterns += static(settings.STATIC_URL, document_root=settings.STATIC_ROOT) urlpatterns += static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT) The Problem : All static and image URLs are being prefixed with /blog, like this: /blog/static/css/blog/bootstrap.css How can I stop Django from adding the /blog prefix to static and image URLs?

JWT token not being sent in production (Django REST Framework & Next.js 14)
I'm facing an issue where JWT tokens are not being sent from the client to the server in my production environment. The project consists of a Django REST Framework backend and a Next.js frontend. Everything works fine in the development (127.0.0.1) environment, but in production, the JWT token stored in the cookies is not being sent back to the server. Project Setup: Backend (Django) Settings: Here are my relevant settings in settings.py: REST_AUTH = { 'JWT_AUTH_COOKIE': 'token', 'JWT_AUTH_REFRESH_COOKIE': 'refresh_token', 'JWT_AUTH_SECURE': True, # Enabled for production 'JWT_AUTH_HTTPONLY': True, 'JWT_AUTH_SAMESITE': 'None', } CORS_ALLOW_CREDENTIALS = True CORS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS = [ 'https://vasa.liara.run', # My frontend domain ] Frontend (Next.js) Configuration: On the client side, I'm sending requests using fetch as follows: fetch("https://api-vasa.liara.run/auth/login", { method: "POST", credentials: "include", // Ensure cookies are sent headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" }, body: JSON.stringify({ username, password }) }); Environment: Frontend URL: https://vasa.liara.run Backend URL: https://api-vasa.liara.run Browser: Chrome (latest version) HTTPS is enabled for both frontend and backend. Why aren't the cookies being sent in subsequent requests? What could be causing this issue, and how can I fix it? -

Every variable makes it to index.html except for one?
I'm doing a django project (I'm new to django). So far everything has been running smoothly except for one issue that I can't seem to figure out. Here's my get method for Django: class Index(TemplateView): template_name = 'project/index.html' def get(self, request): allBrands = InventoryItem.objects.values_list('brand', flat=True).distinct().order_by('totalReviews') allAgeGroups = InventoryItem.objects.values_list('ageGroup', flat=True).distinct() items = InventoryItem.objects.all() return render(request, self.template_name, { 'items': items, 'allBrands': allBrands, 'allAgeGroups': allAgeGroups, }) When I added 'allAgeGroups' I was running into the issue where for some reason the index.html was not receiving the information. The query works. When I print(allAgeGroups) in the get() function, I get nothing When I print(allAgeGroups) in the post() function, I get <QuerySet ['Adult', 'Youth']> (what I want) And I just realized I can remove everything from the render function, save the file, refresh the page, and everything still works??? What is happening? Thank you. -
Adding field to model raises `django.db.utils.OperationalError: no such column` during `makemigrations`
Every time I try python3 manage.py makemigrations after adding a new field to my model, I get an error: django.db.utils.OperationalError: no such column: network_user.following The database used in the project is sqlite3. This is what I had in models.py when I've already created users: class User(AbstractUser): pass And this what I wanted to get after adding a new field: class User(AbstractUser): following = models.CharField(default='', max_length=1000000) I've checked through a lot of posts on this problem. And the only solution I found was to delete the database and clear the migration files in Django project. This method works, but you lose all the data. -
