insert an object for all my objects in a model django
I want to add a new object from a model to all my model's objects Example: I have a model Train which has many trains in it. Now I have another Model Car which has 6 cars. I want all my trains in the Train model to have the 6 cars in it. In fact, If I would like to add, by using the admin interface, a new car (car 7), I would like all my trains to have it without having to select all the trains. Also, if I want to add a new train, I should have the 6 cars in it directly without having to go in the model Car and add the new train. I have declared my models as the following: class Train(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=200) def __str__(self): return self.name class Car(models.Model): train = models.ManyToManyField(Train) name = models.CharField(max_length=200) def __str__(self): return self.name I can't make this work, please help me.... -
Django templates. Any way to nest {{ }} in {% %}?
I am working with a Django templates. I want to pass a variable to my template called js_files which is a list of JavaScript files that I want to add to the end of the HTML. For example, here is a sample js_files array: js_files = ['fancy_dialog.js', 'animate_everything.js'] In my Django template, I would like to be able to do something like this: {% for js_file in js_files %} <script src="{% static '{{ js_file | safe }}' %}"></script> {% endfor %} This is what I get: <script src="/static/%7B%7B%20js_file%20%7C%20safe_file%20%7D%7D"></script> <script src="/static/%7B%7B%20js_file%20%7C%20safe_file%20%7D%7D"></script> This is what I desire: <script src="/static/fancy_dialog.js"></script> <script src="/static/animate_everything.js"></script> The syntax "{{ js_file | safe }}" does exactly what I want it to. But I cannot summarily wrap that value with "{% static 'JS-FILE-VARIABLE-HERE' %}". It doesn't nest. Anyway to do this? -
Django Reset auto-increment
So I have a Django application going and in my models.py I have a field that has models.AutoField(primary_key=True). I went into the admin site and deleted some rows off the table, yet when creating a new object the auto-incremented value picked up where it left off instead of going back to 1. Is there any way I can reset this? I've already tried removing the field, running my migrations, then adding my field back. -

How do I stop a resource from appearing in list view in django rest framework
I've done some work following the django rest framework tutorial. I would like to add the ability to make a snippet private, so that no other users can see it. I created an extra field to the snippet and I have tried to implement this using object permissions. It works in that it stops other users from seeing it in the detail view (403 forbidden) but it still shows the snippet in the list view, with all of it's fields in the open. How do I stop an resource from showing in the list view? I have a model like so: class Snippet(models.Model): created = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True) ... private = models.BooleanField(default=False) serializer: class SnippetSerializer(serializers.HyperlinkedModelSerializer): owner = serializers.ReadOnlyField(source='owner.username') highlight = serializers.HyperlinkedIdentityField( view_name='snippet-highlight', format='html') class Meta: model = Snippet fields = ('url', 'id', 'highlight', 'owner', 'title', 'code', 'linenos', 'language', 'style', 'private') Viewset: class SnippetViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet): """ This viewset automatically provides `list`, `create`, `retrieve`, `update` and `destroy` actions. Additionally we also provide an extra `highlight` action.

django inherited model that has the same pk as the parent
I have two models, one inherits from the other. Both are database tables. When creating an instance of the inherited model I want it to have the same pk value as the parent. But, for some reason, it looks like when they have the same pk, the inherited instance keeps updating as the parent updates. For example: class ModelA(models.Model): id = models.UUIDField(default=uuid.uuid4, editable=False, db_index=True, unique=True, primary_key=True) title = models.CharField(max_length=1000) revision = models.IntegerField(default=0) class ModelB(ModelA): pass When creating new ModelB instance, I'm doing this (copying the id): model_a_dict = ModelA.objects.filter(id=model_a.id).values()[0] model_b = ModelB(id=model_a_dict['id'], title=model_a_dict['title'], revision=model_a_dict['revision']) model_b.save() Now, when updating model_a, the model_b gets updated as well. For example: model_a.title = "other title" model_a.save() then model_b.title would change as well. -
How to pass instance primary key into a django form field?
I have a detail view with a link to a form where the user can write a note that will appear on the detail view. I would like the form to automatically enter the detail view instance primary key as a foreign key (for example, as model attribute "subject"). Such that when the user calls the form to enter a note, the user does not also have the select the subject from a dropdown as it is obvious that the note pertains to the previous detail view. This is all just to make a more streamlined UX. My hacky solution was to get the URL using a 'HTTP_REFERER' request and parse the pk from the URL, then pass the pk into context data in the view, and finally enter it as a value in template. For example: # view def get_url_pk(self): url = self.request.META.get('HTTP_REFERER') t = url.split('/') pk = int(t[-1]) return pk class TaskNotesCreate(CreateView): template_name='tasknotes_new.html' form_class = TaskNoteForm model = TaskNote def get_context_data(self, **kwargs): context = super(TaskNotesCreate, self).get_context_data(**kwargs) context['pk'] = get_url_pk(self) return context def get_success_url(self, **kwargs): obj = self.object return reverse('task_view', kwargs={'pk': obj.subject_id}) # template ... <div class="form-group"> <label for="exampleInput" class="required"> <input type="hidden" name="subject" value="{{ pk }}"> </div> This works … -
Django model field is only able to select certain ManyToMany fields
I am new to Django/Web Dev/Databases. I have a model setup like this: class Device(modes.Model): name = modesl.CharField(max_length=255) class Event(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=255) applicable_devices = models.ManyToManyField(Device) class Property(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=255) applicable_devices = models.ManyToManyField(Device) applicable_events = modeles.ManyToManyField(Event) Now what I want to happen is when I create a new "event" I will supply a applicable_device. Then once I create all my events I will then create all my properties. But based on whatever applicable_device I select when creating the property do I want to be able to add the property. For example... Devices = [Xbox, Roku] Properties ---p_name = applicable_device = [Xbox] ---o_name = applicable_device = [Roku] ---x_name = applicable_device = [Xbox, Roku] Events ---start = applicable_device = [Xbox, Roku] applicable_properties = [p_name, o_name, x_name] ---stop = applicable_device = [Roku] applicable_properties = [o_name, x_name] ---play = aplicable_device = [Xbox] applicable_properties = [p_name, x_name] So basically I will create those 3 events and put which device they apply to. Then I will start to create my events and based on whatever device I select for my event, should only give me the option for the properties that are also set to that same applicable device. -
Get data from clicked elements Django
I have a page where User can select people to add in his team. One side of the page is the list of the people to select. When user click Add to the team, it goes to the right side where we have the list of the selected people. I don't understand how I can get the data on the selected side from the view in django..

Simple database insert and delete via Ajax in Django application
I'm working on a Django application that involves various people, companies, and products. I'd like to include the ability for logged in users to "favorite" any number of those people, companies, and products. I'm a pretty new Django developer and my knowledge of Javascript is scant, so I'm struggling to apply the existing Django/Ajax tutorials to my situation. Here's what I have so far. I'm going to include just the bits about favoriting a person since I presume that solution for favoriting companies and products will be virtually identical. # models.py (relevant tables only) class Person(models.Model): first_name = models.CharField(max_length=50) middle_name = models.CharField(max_length=50, blank=True) # many other irrelevant fields omitted class CustomUser(AbstractUser): fav_people = models.ManyToManyField(Person, through='FavoritePerson', through_fields=('user', 'person'), related_name='users', ) fav_companies = models.ManyToManyField(Company, through='FavoriteCompany', through_fields=('user', 'company'), related_name='users', ) fav_products = models.ManyToManyField(Product, through='FavoriteProduct', through_fields=('user', 'product'), related_name='users', ) class Meta: verbose_name_plural = 'Custom Users' def __str__(self): if self.first_name and self.last_name: return f"{self.first_name} {self.last_name}" else: return f"{self.username}" class FavoritePerson(models.Model): user = models.ForeignKey(CustomUser, on_delete=models.CASCADE, related_name='favorite_people' ) person = models.ForeignKey(Person, on_delete=models.CASCADE, null=True, blank=True, related_name='favorite_people', ) created = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True) class Meta: verbose_name_plural = 'Favorited People' def __str__(self): return f"{self.user} - {self.person}" Here's the relevant portion of my template where it displays a star outline if the person … -

Django show model form in html with 2 foreign key as column and row
I want to display a form of this class class Cost(models.Model): supply = models.ForeignKey(Supply, on_delete=models.CASCADE) demand = models.ForeignKey(Demand, on_delete=models.CASCADE) cost = models.IntegerField(default=0) Supply and demand is a city that only have name and amount attributes.

Can you have two Google Cloud Projects that talk to the same Cloud SQL Database?
I have just created a Project in Google Cloud, and attached a Cloud SQL Database instance to that project. I was able to deploy a Django app that is connected to that DB just fine. However, I would like to create a separate Django app/Project that is attached to the same Cloud SQL Database that my first Django app is attached to. Is this possible? One Django app is responsible for web scraping and supplying constant data to the database while my second Django app (the one I have already deployed) analyzes and returns json on that data. It would be advantageous to separate the two apps because if I ever needed to revise my web scraping algorithm, the whole app would not be down. -
Django href repeats URL in searchbar
This is a really basic question but I'm relatively new to django.

I've tried modifying my hrefs to not include "transfer/" but then I run into an invalid page when I click a button the first time. urls.py from django.urls import path from . import views urlpatterns = [ path('', views.index, name='index'), path('/upload', views.upload, name='upload'), path('/download', views.download, name='download') ] What can I do to fix this? -

Django 3.0: inline formset with multiple models not updating
I have been blocked on this for a while so thought I'd ask: I have a simplified example below, but essentially I have 3 models (one parent, two children) all combined in one form (formset and two inline formsets). My issue is: POSTing form for artist_new, it successfully writes to DB etc. All good. GET for artist_edit works, but any saves (POST, either with or without edits) do not save to DB. Currently it redirects back to the edit form, with the edits pre-populated in the form (so form data is being passed correctly, i.e. prefixes etc.?) My thought is that it is a view issue, my debugging has brought me to the fact that in the function views.artist_edit book_formset.is_valid() and music_formset.is_valid() both return False. Interestingly, all of the above was working with just one inline formset. Any help much appreciated. # models.py from django.db import models class Artist(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=100) class Book(models.Model): artist = models.ForeignKey(Artist, on_delete=models.CASCADE) title = models.CharField(max_length=100) class Music(models.Model): artist = models.ForeignKey(Artist, on_delete=models.CASCADE) title = models.CharField(max_length=100) album = models.CharField(max_length=100) # views.py from django.utils import timezone from django.shortcuts import redirect, render, get_object_or_404 from django.forms import inlineformset_factory from .models import Artist, Book, Music from .forms import ArtistForm, BookForm, … -

Django model for different model
I'm learning Django and I'm trying to make a sort of wiki type app. In this wiki there are different type of models: Characters, Items, Spells and Adventures. Each model has some fields that are the same (like name, author, date_created, etc.) and some that are unique to the model, like duration for adventures, alignment for characters, etc. The problem that I have is that if they are different models then every time I want to make something that is common to all of the models (like being able to like, favorite, create, edit, etc.) then I have to code for each model individually. Is there a way of creating a sort of Content model that contains every character, item, spell and adventure so that every time I want to make a form or a function I just make a Content form or Content function? -
