Docker-based hosting unable to reach database
I am a junior developer using django as my first web development framework. During a boilerplate construction, I am not able to host and reach a postgres database using docker. The app content is available on repository https://github.com/trouchet/tarzan. The docker daemon outputs error django.db.utils.OperationalError: could not translate host name "db" to address: Temporary failure in name resolution after I run command docker-compose build followed by command docker-compose run. I use the variable DATABASE_HOST the same as docker service db. I also make sure, there is no other postgres service on current machine. Thanks in advance for any provided help. -

Django ManyToMany creations and cascading deletions
Django ManyToMany creations and cascading deletions Django newbie here. I have looked under several threads and I have not found anything related so I hope you can help me out on this. I am working on a ManyToMany model involving Doctors and Patients, that is, both can have multiple relationships between them. I have the following model definition: class Patient(models.Model): first_name = models.CharField(max_length=255) last_name = models.CharField(max_length=255) email = models.EmailField(unique=True) (other fields definitions) class Doctor(models.Model): first_name = models.CharField(max_length=255) last_name = models.CharField(max_length=255) email = models.EmailField(unique=True) (other fields definitions) … patients = models.ManyToManyField(Patient) The doctor is the main user that should be able to visualize all related patients (no problem there). When adding a new patient though, I would like to know how to create the relationship in the app_doctor_patients join table. I’ve read the documentation regarding the Related objects reference (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.2/ref/models/relations/#django.db.models.fields.related.RelatedManager) but I do not know which is the best way to apply these functions.

Django Rest Framework SimpleJWT - Removing a variable refrencing 'request.body' Causes 'RawPostDataException' Error
I have a Django 4.2.6 project using Python 3.10 and the rest_framework_simplejwt library.

However, when I remove this line, it throws the following error: “RawPostDataException at /auth/signin/ - You cannot access the body after reading from the request's data stream.” I've tried to understand why this is happening, but I couldn't figure it out even after reading the docs.

HTTP_HOST Stripping via Firewalls and VPNs
I have an issue that's presenting as a CORS-related issue from a frontend (React) making API calls to a backend (Django). However, looking at the logs, I'm seeing things like this: django.core.exceptions.DisallowedHost: Invalid HTTP_HOST header: '123.456.789.101:8007'. You may need to add '123.456.789.101' to ALLOWED_HOSTS. The site works fine from my PC, several friends, and mobile devices, via my VPN, but fails to make API requests when behind certain firewalls (corporate) or via online VPN services that let one type in a website, visit it via an in-browser window (not naming names b/c that's beside the point here). What seems to be the issue is a security measure whereby the firewalls are stripping out the HTTP_HOST specified by the site and adding in the actual IP to avoid e.g. HTTP_HOST-based spoofing. Is there any way(s) to address this that doesn't involve assigning a static IP to my host and hard-coding that into the ALLOWED_HOSTS? For example, I like testing new apps on easy 1-click deploy type services like Digital Ocean, Railway, Netlify, etc. that are great but don't always provide the option for a static IP (not focusing on a specific service here). Am I stuck hoping my PaaS provider exposes … -

It's all very simple code, so I don't know where I went wrong: import React, { Component } from 'react' import './App.css'; import axios from 'axios' import Temperature from "./components/Temperature" import BootstrapSwitchButton from 'bootstrap-switch-button-react' class App extends Component { constructor(props) { super(props); this.state= { deviceEnabled: false, viewActivated: true, deviceList: [] }; } componentDidMount() { this.refreshList(); } refreshList = () => { axios .get("http://localhost:8000/api/devices/") .then(res => this.setState({ deviceList: res.data })) .catch(err => console.log(err)) }; handleSubmit = device => { if (device.id) { axios .put(`http://localhost:8000/api/tasks/${device.id}/`, device) .then(res => this.refreshList()) } axios .post("http://localhost:8000/api/devices/", device) .then(res => this.refreshList() ) } // Checks if device is activated or not displayActivated = status => { if (status) { return this.setState({ viewActivated: true }) } return this.setState({ viewActivated: false }) } displayEnabled = status => { if (status) { return !this.state.deviceEnabled; } return this.state.deviceEnabled; } // Renders activated and inactive devices under proper heading renderDeviceList = () => { return ( <div … -
index our of range in django template
I'm beginner in django and i'm trying to create a website and in its blog page there is a section that shows prev post and next post. I gave them the url of posts using a for loop that gives the id of posts from data base but in the first post it gives me the "index out of range" error here is the views.py and that section of blog template: views.py: def blog_single(request, pid): posts = get_object_or_404(Post, id=pid, status=1) ls = list(Post.objects.filter(status=1)) lis = [] for i in ls: lis.append(i.id) indpid = lis.index(pid) index_prev_post = indpid + 1 id_prev_post = lis[index_prev_post] index_next_post = indpid - 1 id_next_post = lis[index_next_post] name_prev_querry = Post.objects.filter(id=id_prev_post) name_prev_list = list(name_prev_querry) name_prev = name_prev_list[0].title name_next_querry = Post.objects.filter(id=id_next_post) name_next_list = list(name_next_querry) name_next = name_next_list[0].title context = {'post':posts, 'prev':id_prev_post, 'next':id_next_post, 'name_prev':name_prev, 'name_next':name_next} return render(request, 'blog/blog-single.html', context) template: </div> <div class="navigation-area"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-lg-6 col-md-6 col-12 nav-left flex-row d-flex justify-content-start align-items-center"> <div class="thumb"> <a href="#"><img class="img-fluid" src="{% static 'img/blog/prev.jpg' %}" alt="" /></a> </div> <div class="arrow"> <a href="#"><span class="lnr text-white lnr-arrow-left"></span></a> </div> <div class="detials"> <p>Prev Post</p> <a href="{% url 'blog:single' pid=prev %}"><h4>{{name_prev}}</h4></a> can you please tell me what's wrong with my code?

Should I inherit from User model
I have two other models that should have all the functionalities that User model have. That's why in those two models, I am inheriting from User model. default_role = "admin" class User(AbstractBaseUser): ... image = models.ImageField(upload_to=user_directory_path, blank=True, null=True) role = models.CharField(max_length=20, choices=ROLE_CHOICE, default=default_role) .... class Student(User): ... some_fields_related_to_student ... def save(): self.role = "student" class Teacher(User): ... some_fields_related_to_teacher ... def save(): self.role = "teacher" def user_directory_path(instance, filename, role): extension = filename.split('.')[-1] return f"{role}/{instance.id}.{extension}" When I try to put the image pictures for Teacher and Student models, I want to put them in: ".../teachers/{teacher.id}.{extension}" ".../students/{student.id}.{extension}" these folders. How I can pass the role field to user_directory_path function? Also, my another question is that should I inherit from User at all? Whenever I create Student or Teacher it is also creating that model in User too, but for me it looks like not optimal, since we are kinda duplicating the information -
VSCode DJLint extension formats python files
My DJLint extension for VSCode recognizes problems in python files however it is not supposed to. It is supposed to run only in html files. DJLint error in python File Now my settings tell me that this extension is only running in the default file formats that do not include .py as seen here. What am I missing? -
Why aren't my serializer method fields being called?
I have the following django model: class HelpItem(TimeStampMixin): user = models.ForeignKey(User, related_name='help_items', on_delete=models.DO_NOTHING) description = models.TextField() support_choice = models.PositiveSmallIntegerField( choices=SubscriptionPlan.SUPPORT_CHOICES, default=SubscriptionPlan.EMAIL ) parent_entity = models.ForeignKey(ParentEntity, related_name='help_items', on_delete=models.DO_NOTHING, null=True) Im sending a post request to create a HelpItem through this view: class HelpItemView(CreateAPIView): permission_classes = (IsAuthenticated, ) serializer_class = HelpItemSerializer def post(self, request, *args, **kwargs): help_item = self.serializer_class(data=request.data, context={ 'user': request.user, 'selected_parent_entity': request.selected_parent_entity }) help_item.is_valid(raise_exception=True) help_item = help_item.save() return Response(self.serializer_class(help_item).data, status=status.HTTP_201_CREATED) And this is my serializer: class HelpItemSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer): user = serializers.SerializerMethodField() parent_entity = serializers.SerializerMethodField() support_choice = serializers.SerializerMethodField() class Meta: model = HelpItem fields = ['description', 'support_choice', 'parent_entity', 'user'] def get_user(self, obj): return self.context['user'].id def get_parent_entity(self, obj): return get_parent_entity_for_configurations(obj.user, self.context['selected_parent_entity']) def get_support_choice(self, obj): try: return Subscription.objects.get(parent_entity=obj.parent_entity).subscription_plan.support except Subscription.DoesNotExist: print('No subscription exists.') Shouldn't the method fields be called before the serializer tries to save the HelpItem object? I get the following error: null value in column "user_id" of relation "smartsign_helpitem" violates not-null constraint DETAIL: Failing row contains (22, 2023-10-27 14:57:23.696476+00, 2023-10-27 14:57:23.696497+00, need help, null, null, 1). So basically the description is accessed but support choice sets to default value (1) and the user and parent entity columns are null. Why?
