Django form - JQuery - chained fields - verification fails (is_valid function)
In my Django form I have three fields that are linked to each other (similar to the trio country- state-city which is often given as an example on the web). Visually it works thanks to jQuery scripting. The #id_division field interacts with #id_section which interacts with #id_cellule which interacts with #id_superieur. {% extends 'base.html' %} {% load static %} {% load crispy_forms_tags %} {% block css %} {% endblock css %} {% block title %} <title>Edit user</title> {% endblock title %} {% block toolbar %} {% endblock toolbar %} {% block content %} <br> <form method="POST" class="bootstrap4" id="id-StaffForm" data-sections-url="{% url 'ajax_load_sections' %}" data-cellules-url="{% url 'ajax_load_cellules' %}" data-superieurs-url="{% url 'ajax_load_superieurs' %}" novalidate> {% csrf_token %} {% crispy staff_form %} </form> {% endblock content %} {% block script %} <script> var sections_url = $("#id-StaffForm").attr("data-sections-url"); var cellules_url = $("#id-StaffForm").attr("data-cellules-url"); var superieurs_url = $("#id-StaffForm").attr("data-superieurs-url"); var divisionId = $("#id_division").val(); var sectionId = $("#id_section").val(); var celluleId = $("#id_cellule").val(); $('#id_division').change(function () { divisionId = $(this).val(); $("#id_section").html(''); // initialize an AJAX request for SECTION $.ajax({ // set the url of the request url: sections_url, // add the division id to the GET parameters data: { 'division': divisionId }, // `data` is the return of the `load_sections` view function … -
Django Chache - Update when model changed
I can't seem to find any tutorial on how to do this. So, I basically want to add caching to my Django project. I made a blog view, that should be cached and updated only if the model got changed since last caching. How do I do this? -
Django submit form when browser is refreshed for multiple form
There is a lot of similar question. But my problem is slightly different. In a view, I am using multiple forms, for that, I am using formset and normal form.here is my view: class CreateInvoice(TemplateView): template_name = 'product/create_invoice.html' product_list = Product.objects.get_all_product() ItemFormSet = formset_factory(ItemForm, formset=BaseItemFormSet, extra=0) def get_context_data(self, **kwargs): if 'items' not in kwargs: kwargs['items'] = self.ItemFormSet() if 'order' not in kwargs: kwargs['order'] = OrderForm() kwargs['product_list'] = self.product_list return super().get_context_data(**kwargs) def post(self, request): item_formset = self.ItemFormSet(request.POST) order_form = OrderForm(request.POST) if order_form.is_valid() and item_formset.is_valid(): order = order_form.cleaned_data items = item_formset.cleaned_data order['sold_by'] = request.user order_id = Order.objects.crate_new_order(order=order, items=items) return HttpResponseRedirect(self.render_to_response(self.get_context_data(pos_invoice=generate_pos_invoice(), order_id=order_id))) else: return HttpResponseRedirect(self.render_to_response(self.get_context_data(items=item_formset, order=order_form,))) If forms are not valid then I need to render the same page with error messages. If forms are valid then also need to render the same page with the HTML receipt string and the extra data. But here the problem is if the browser is refreshed (like pres crtl+f5) then the same forms are submitted again. From googling I came to know that this problem is created for I am using render instead of a redirect. Here is the link of the question from where I came to know this: Django form submit again on refresh … -
What is the best way to use other models as dynamic fields in django?
I'm working on an app that basically functions like a gradebook + online exam service. In an analog gradebook, or in one on a spreadsheet, teachers typically have a row entry for each student. Then, they make a new column for every exam, and fill in all the students' grades for that exam. So I want to be able to add and remove exams at will, and also to show the user things like "all student grades for this exam" or "all exam grades for this student". Each exam model is built from a list of (ManyToMany) Question models. Ideally, I'd also like to be able to track individual questions the same way I do exams: get a list of which students got them right, etc. Is there a best or standard way to do these things? ManyToManyFields seem a little awkward to me and I was wondering if I was missing something. -

Replace white space with hyphens in Django URL
I saw that a lot of websites (including stackoverflow) will have the title of the questions/articles in the URL with hyphens and I am trying to achieve the same for a small blog app using Django, however, so far I have been having 0 success. My models.py look as follow: class Post(models.Model): title = models.CharField(max_length=255, unique=True) author = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE) body = models.TextField() def __str__(self): return self.title + '|' + str(self.author) Defining the URL as: urlpatterns = [ # re_path(r'^post/(?P<title>[\w\-]+)/$', PostView.as_view(), name='post_details'), path('post/<slug:title>', PostView.as_view(), name='post_details'), ] and adding the following to the views.py: class PostView(DetailView): model = Post slug_field = slugify('title') slug_url_kwarg = slugify('title') template_name = 'post_details.html' resulted no success, as titles which have hyphens result a Page not found (404). As seen from the urls.py, I have tried both using a regular expression and the newer Django 2.0+ syntax and both giving the same result. Is my mistake in the URL definition or am I not introducing the slug correctly to the view? -
Django: How to automatically set correct media folder permissions?
I am running a Django application using Apache webserver. The media directory is located in /var/www/app/media/. Owner of that directory is www-data:www-data, so that Apache can read / write to it. The problem now is that when I run ./manage.py migrate and a new sub-folder in the media directory is created when I add a new FileField to a model, the owner of that directory is the user running that migrate command and I have to fix the owner of that new folder, otherwise Apache can't write to it and I am getting a Permission denied error. How can I set permissions to the folder /var/www/media/that user www-data can write to any new subfolder, even when that subfolder is created by another user ? -

I've been using django for a while whitout having any issues, i don't really know what i did by mistake, but now, some errors pop up when i try to run my server or to migrate or to type whatever command that comes after python manage.py ... Im using django 3.0.5 ( should be the latest version ) , and python 3.8.2. the error actually comes from some files written by default like 'init.py' 'autoreloader.py' 'runserver.py' ... i think it must be a confusion between the used versions..

How to get the field values as a dictionary
I have create a model Role as shown below. class Role(models.Model): role_name = models.CharField(max_length=255, unique=True, blank=False) I am trying to get the role_name of the record which has primary_key=2. So, far I have tried to do it like this - Role.objects.get(pk=2) But the problem with this is it returns the id of the instance i.e 2 which doesn't make sense as I already have it. So, I tried again using values and filter like this - Role.objects.values('role_name').filter(pk=2) Now, in this case it does return me the role_name but as an array of objects. As, the database table Role will always have one record I am expecting it to return a dictionary or just the value of it. -

How effectively extracts value from function (python) and pass to context (Django)
I have function in seperate django file function.py. My function consists of lenthy calculations whiuch i then pass to views. there are functions inside the main function a(). This is how to pass value ( this is shortest version to pass you idea os what i am trying to say). def a(): x=3 y=4 z=6 def b(): x1=x+1 return x1 def c(): y1=y+1 return y1 def d(): z1=z+1 return b(), c(), d() def home(request): abc=a() context={'value1':abc[0],'value2':abc[1],'value3':abc[2],} print(value1) This how i pass value. Is this efefctive way or there are more efficient ways to pass values form the function as as so far i manually have to pass to the context in views through indexing as i did.
