Django 2.2 multiples schemas en postgresql
Estimados buenos días. Les hago una consulta. Tengo un sistema el cual da servicio a muchos negocios iguales y cada negocio tiene su schema en postgresql. El tema es que tengo la tabla users donde le agrego un campo que se llama schema que es donde detallo a que schema tiene que ir cada usuario. Este campo lo levantaría en session y cuando llamo al modelo quiero decirle que me traiga los objetos pero de tal o cual schema. Esto seria en tiempo real. Otra cosa en settings.py solo tendría la conexión a la única DB que es donde tendría todos los schemas. Se les ocurre como puedo hacer?, como le digo al medelo que traiga por ejemplo a contactos pero de tal o cual schema Gracias -

I keep staring at this and no joy. My urls.py file. All of the files are displaying except 'display_maintenance.html' from django.contrib import admin from django.urls import path, include from example import urls as example_urls from example import views as example_views urlpatterns = [ path('admin/', admin.site.urls), path('', example_views.home, name="home"), path('add_location', example_views.add_location, name='add_location'), path('add_device', example_views.add_device, name='add_device'), path('add_maintenance', example_views.add_maintenance, name='add_maintenance'), path('display_maintenance', example_views.display_maintenance, name='display_maintenance'), path('device_list', example_views.device_list, name='device_list'), path('search_device', example_views.search_device, name='search_device') ] Here's the views.py where the error is hanging on the return render: def display_maintenance(request): maintenance = Maintenance.objects.all() context = {"maintenance": maintenance} for item in maintenance: item.devices = Devices.objects.filter(maintenance=item) return render(request, 'example/display_maintenance.html', context) And finally, the html file.

What method to choose for designing the study on Amazon Mechanical Turk?
I would like to choose a method for psychological study design, which I want to implement in Amazon Mechanical Turk. The experiment requires dragging and dropping images and some specific randomization, so I can't use platforms like Qualtrics or SurveyMonkey (I think I can't). So I want to create my own experiment and put it on a server. I would use Django and PsychoPy package, but I'm afraid Django is overcomplicated for such a project (I want to have just a csv or a json file with participants' data as output). The second idea is just a javascript, but I feel more comfortable in python. What is your advice? Maybe there is a better option? Thanks for answers. -
Why am I not being able to save my addresses?
Hi I'm trying to develop an e-commerce website with django. I want to use ajax to handle my checkout form. When I added Ajax, after filling out the form and clicking the submit button, I am seeing that my form and data is not getting saved by going into my admin. It's also not being redirected to return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse(str(redirect))+"address_added=True"), rather it's being redirected to http://127.0.0.1:8000/checkout/?csrfmiddlewaretoken=u6hDPBVuOZbDmoHvRFWb2PvfK1YamCIKGSaDkKdVTviWvJODgY5lM6rKppoW1oeP&address=123+Main+Street&address2=&state=MA&country=USA&zipcode=55525&phone=%28877%29+314-0742&billing=on.Can anyone please help me out with what's actually wrong?

How to use Django's include without a string literal?
I just started up with django. Following this tutorial, I ended up with the following urls.py: from django.contrib import admin from django.urls import include, path urlpatterns = [ path('polls/', include('polls.urls')), path('admin/', admin.site.urls), ] This links to polls.urls.py which has its own router. The part I don't like is the string literal 'polls.urls' which is, well... a string literal. I would like to somehow reference the file directly using some of python's power, and have AT LEAST my IDE protect me. What happens if I want to move that polls.urls.py file, or rename it, or rename polls? Should I trust my IDE to catch a reference from a string literal? This is almost like doing this monstrosity, and is very hard for me to accept as the best practice. It just seems odd to me. Is there a way to use something less prone to errors than string literals in django's routers? -
Hardcode Initial Data to Redux store in Django/React app
I have a React-Redux app which currently makes an API call to my Django backend to receive data to be displayed on a dashboard. The problem I am having is with data size and load times. Currently, the entire JSON packet is around 6MB and the total request time is around 1.5-2 minutes. I noticed that when I hardcode the "initial data" to the same data packet within my Redux Reducer, the load time is instantaneous. My question is- is there any existing methods that exist that would allow me to either periodically update this "Initial Data" from the backend. Or are any other recommended methods to speed this data transfer up? Unfortunately I cannot use pagination, as I need the entire data packet for the React app to work efficiently. Thanks for your time! -
Can Django do an UPDATE INNER JOIN, meaning update one model from another based on a matching field, for example ID
Is is possible in Django to do a so called UPDATE INNER JOIN, meaning update one table from another based on a matching field, like ID for example. To give more context, in PostgreSQL you would achieve this with a query such as: UPDATE users SET name = R.name, FROM renamed_users R WHERE users.id = renamed_users.id; Ref: https://www.postgresqltutorial.com/postgresql-update/ -
Django - Importing Movie dataset to the models

Django: Help understanding a signal-function
Good evening, I know, I asked a similar Question just a while ago, but I still got problems in understanding the more detailled functions of a signal. So I'm hoping someone can help me out with this one!? As an example I have a class in my "models.py" like this one: class ExampleModel(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=255, null=False, blank=False) value1 = models.IntegerField() value2 = models.IntegerField() value_of_1_and_2 = models.IntegerField() def __str__(self): return self.name I would like to have my field "value_of_1_and_2" filled automatically with the sum of the other two fields before saving... Is this possible? I tried some things and got stuck with a "pre_save" like this: @receiver(pre_save, sender=ExameplModel) def save(self, *args, **kwargs): ... Thanks for all of your help and a nice evening to all of you! -
Package Django on closed system (no pip)
I'm developing a web app in Django and React, but I just tried installing the Django backend on the server (Linux) to test the API, and the server doesn't have access to pip but does have python 3 installed. The firewall blocks access to the pip repository; and unfortunately, I can't change that. So I'm going to have to package the app with all the dependencies together, but I've never really had to do that before, so I need to know the following info: Is it as simple as copying the site-packages folder from my dev system to a folder like bin/site-packages? If so, do I need to do something different in my Django settings to use the alternate package locations? Do I have to package python3.7 in the bin folder as well? I looked at a few other apps that have packages included, but they weren't specifically Django and the setup was really confusing, but it looks possible. I just don't know where to start. Any info you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance. -
Include Django snippets using both apostrophe and quotation marks
I include a snippet on my app like this: {% include "snippets/title.html" with title='Homepage' and subtitle='Welcome to my site' %} I'd like to pass in the subtitle string It's great to have you here "friend", which uses both apostrophes and quotation marks. The problem is that I cannot use triple brackets """ inside my include statement, which means I have to use either a apostrophe ' or quotation mark " to wrap my string. How can I do this? the below examples all do not work {% include "snippets/title.html" with title='Homepage' and subtitle='It's great to have you here "friend"' %} {% include "snippets/title.html" with title='Homepage' and subtitle="It's great to have you here "friend"" %} {% include "snippets/title.html" with title='Homepage' and subtitle="""It's great to have you here "friend"""" %} I would prefer a solution that does not require me to escape punctuation inside my string. -

Why do I get a No Reverse Match error in this case?
So, this is what's going on: I am able to get a blog post in my Django 2.1 app by its primary key. However, by demand of the marketing team, I was asked to put a slug on the URL, so instead of /blog/1, I should get /blog/my-blog-post-title. Thus, while still using the pk value to get the blog post, I just need to get the url to work the way I intend to. URL: path('<slug:slug>/', blog_views.blog_single, name='blog-single') In the HTML, I always refer to this page as: href="{% url 'blog-single' pk=blogPost.id slug=blogPost.get_slug %}" , so that I get both the pk and the slug, which is gotten by the get_slug() method declared on the Blog model. The view is here: def blog_single(request, pk, slug): context = {} context['blogPost'] = blogPost.objects.get(id=pk) ... return render(request, 'blog/blog-single.html', context) Still, in any page that refers to blog-single in the href, I get the following error: Reverse for 'blog-single' with keyword arguments '{'pk': 2, 'slug': 'my-blog-post-title'}' not found. 1 pattern(s) tried: ['blog\\/(?P<slug>[-a-zA-Z0-9_]+)\\/$'] I have tried so many different answers I found on the Internet, and read the answer on this post extensively, but I just can't get my head around what's not working: What … -
Secret Key not found when Django Unit Tests are executed
Whenever I'm running my Django-Tests via the unittests.py file in the main folder the SECRET KEY in .env is not found. What is the correct way to set up the regular Unittests-File for a series of Django-Tests? I wrote my settings.py in a way it's able to write a new key if no other key is found: ---settings.py--- try: print("Current key: " + os.environ['SECRET_KEY']) SECRET_KEY = os.environ['SECRET_KEY'] except KeyError as kerr: logging.error("Can't find Secret Key in settings.py") path_env = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, '.env') utils.generate_secret_key(path_env) dotenv.read_dotenv(path_env) SECRET_KEY = os.environ['SECRET_KEY'] This has worked, but as on every run of the unittests another new key is created, which is not intended. So far I'm running the unittests with a default script which works fine, except for the issue with the key: ---unittests.py--- import DjangoProject.tests_client suite = unittest.TestSuite() loader = unittest.TestLoader() suite.addTest(loader.loadTestsFromModule(DjangoProject.tests_client)) The implemented Test is not a too huge surprise: from django.test import TestCase import django django.setup() class TestBase(TestCase): def setUp(self): #Stuff def tearDown(self): self.removeData() def test_Clienttest(self): #Stuff The Unittests-Classes inherit as required from from django.test.TestCase and do what they are supposed to: Running the Unittest-Script with these settings will result in an error as it can't find the SECRET KEY (I did some debugging … -
