Django Vote System - django-secretballot and django-vote both are falty for me, should I write voting system myself?
I would like to ask you for your help. I want to have some simple voting system on my django app. I googled it and I found two systems and some posts about not reinventing wheel and I am all for that :P First I tried to go with django-vote, it was updated two years ago. I setup it, added into apps, models, created function for it with user_id but I got error with "LazyObject". user_id from django-vote was expecting int, and not actual user name like it is in my app. So I went with django-secretballot next. But soon after adding it into middleware and apps I am getting error while I want to migrate: ImportError: cannot import name 'python_2_unicode_compatible' from 'django.utils.encoding' And right now I am lost. Should I try to ask for help and try to fix any of those two applications or I should look for another one or try to write it myself since I need only basic functions? Which approach would be better? Thanks and Cheers! -
DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE
Regarding : django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Requested setting DEBUG, but settings are not configured. You must either define the environment variable DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE or call settings.configure() before accessing settings. I have tried every possible solution that is out there on the web, but unfortunately without any luck so far. I have noticed however that Django is not appearing under 'File -> Settings -> Languages & Frameworks', although it seems I have installed it properly (I am able to retrieve Django version number 3.0.5 and when I run manage.py, I get a list of the available subcommands). Also 'os.environ.setdefault('DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE', 'Eric.settings')' is properly set in manage.py file. Still I am running into the above error whenever I try to run 'django-admin runserver' ! I was expecting to find Django in the Languages & Frameworks section, but it seems to be missing there. Is this OK or NOK ? Thanks -
IntegrityError (1452, 'Cannot add or update a child row: a foreign key constraint fails)
I'm using a custom user model (following this tutorial) and all works well.

Django - printing variables in templates
I created an app called "jobs", basically I'd like to create new "jobs" from the admin console and be able to post it on the jobs.html page. I created the model and views but I think there is something wrong with the views that doesn't allow me to print the "jobs" on the html template.

JSON value doesn't change inside ajax success callback function
I'm working on a django reddit clone project, just to improve my skills. I wanted to implement AJAX to it so the page doesn't refresh when someone upvotes. I made an API with django rest framework, which has upvoted and downvoted boolean values. However, when I try to change the upvoted value to false in my javascript, it doesn't work, but changing it to true when it's false works and updates the template. This is probably confusing so here is some code. class UpvoteAPIToggle(APIView): def get(self, request, id=None, format=None): post = Post.objects.get(id=id) all_post_upvotes = post.upvotes.all() all_post_downvotes = post.downvotes.all() profile = Profile.objects.get(user=self.request.user) upvoted = False downvoted = False if profile not in all_post_upvotes: post.upvotes.add(profile) downvoted = False if profile in all_post_downvotes: post.upvotes.remove(profile) upvoted = False downvoted = True else: post.downvotes.remove(profile) upvoted = True serializer = PostSerializer(all_post_upvotes, many=True, read_only=True) serialized_upvotes = serializers.serialize("json", all_post_upvotes) upvote_counter = 0 data = { "upvoted":upvoted, "downvoted": downvoted, "all_post_upvotes":serialized_upvotes, "upvote_counter":upvote_counter } return Response(data) this is the class based rest view. $.ajax({ url: upvoteUrl, data: {}, dataType: "json", success: (data)=>{ checkVote(data) } }) function checkVote(data){ if (data.upvoted){ data.upvote_counter--; data.upvoted = false }else{ data.upvote_counter++; data.upvoted = true $(".upvote-btn").css("color","orange"); $("#upvoteCounter").text(data.upvote_counter) } } Here is the jquery part from the template.

Scrapy pipelines Django update item in database SQLite
In my Scrapy project connected with Django, I scrape pages with offerts for housing markets and save in database. In pipelines file I create unique hash_id for each item and with other data save in db. Each time I want to update db for new offerts (it works) but also for closed offerts (not displayed more on page) change status in db for 'not active'. How to do that when process_item works only for specific scrapped item? My idea was to collect all hash_id from db in list, check scrapped items if their hash_id are in. If yes, delete the hash_id from list. Then update remaining items status. But it doesn't work. My pipelines file: def hashed_list(): hashed_items_db = Offert.objects.filter(still_active = True) hashed_list=[item.hash_id for item in hashed_items_db] return hashed_list class ScraperPipeline(object): hashed_list = hashed_list() def create_hash(self, *args): ... return data def process_item(self, item, spider): ..... hash_id = self.create_hash(args) item['hash_id'] = hash_id if hash_id not in hashed_list: item.save() else: hashed_list.remove(hash_id) return item def close_spider(self, spider): for hash_item in hashed_list: obj =Offert.objects.get(hash_id=hash_item) obj.still_active = False obj.end_date = timezone.now() - timedelta(days=1) obj.save() return hashed_list How to do that? Is there any easy (??) way to update non scrapped items in db? -

How to submit content then display output on same page in Django
I am working with a DJango project. On my homepage I just have a drop down menu and a text area. The user will select something in the drop down menu, input some text in the text area and then push a button. Right now the only way I know how to do this is by redirecting the user to another page and displaying all the data. I was hoping I could do this by putting all the content underneath the dropdown menu, text area, and button. I am using Django. home.html <form action="{% url 'parsed' %}" method="POST"> {% csrf_token %} <div class="form-group"> <label for="sel1">Select Test:</label> <select class="form-control" name="selectedtest" id="sel1"> {% for test in test %} <option value="{{ test.name }}"">{{ test.name }}</option> {% endfor %} </select> </div> <div class="form-group"> <label>Paste Event JSON</label> <textarea class="form-control" name="jsontextarea" rows="20"></textarea> <div style="text-align:center"> </br> <input class="btn btn-primary" type="submit" value="Parse"> </div> </div> </form> I will be building a large chart full of rows that I would like to display under all of this. -
Create multi model and Use them in one template in django
Well, I want to create a portfolio project using django. In the Home page of the site the main part is there's some project list and also some review list. I want to Show them both in my homepage(same template). But the problem is, I created a model for the Project list and created a Listview for that and rendered that into the homepage template. Now I don't know how to create the same for my review list. Because if I do the same, then what should I put at the urls section? So is there any option to do so? I think the question is clear, if it's not, please ask in the comment. Thanks in Advance -
How to use get_queryset inside a listview

How to add rows to django database from python script running on Colab?
I have a python web scraping script which collects data from multiple websites by scraping. My website (built using django) shows the collected data to the users in a table. Right now what I am doing is: run the script on Google Colab everyday, download the data in csv format, delete old data from website, upload new data on it (I have a page to upload and process the csv to add data in django database). I want to do something like this: within the Python script, call a URL like: mysite.com/uploadRowFromPython?cell1=SomeData&cell2=SomeMoreData&cell3=SomeOtherData The problem is, this method will make too many requests to my site and it might crash. Is there a better way to upload data automatically? Maybe add multiple rows at once? If the script directly uploads data to the site, I can setup a cron job to make the whole process automatic, instead of me having to daily run the script, delete old records from django database, and upload new csv. -

Django & Postgres: Unique Constraint not enforced?
I have a django model: class MyModel(models.Model): my_field = models.CharField(max_length=500, unique=True) ... As you can see, "my_field" must be unique. Before creating a new object I run field_value: str = 'test 12/9' try: o = MyModel.objects.get(my_field=field_value) except MyModel.DoesNotExist: o = MyModel() ... to check if an object with the unique field_value exists. So far so good. Now I realised that I do have hundrets of "duplicate" values in my_field. Here are the copied exact values from django admin: 2 StR 46/15 2 StR 46/15 As you can see, they seem to be the same. But if I copy one value to the other field in django admin and try to save it, it fails due to an object already existing with this 'my_field'. But when saving each object itself, it does not fail. I used several tools to compare the strings, I am incapable to find a diffrence. Is there a way, that django or postgres is converting these strings somewhere so they are not the same anymore? Am I missing anything? Thanks for any help! -

How to allow users to directly download a file stored in my media folder in django?
So I'm building a RESTful API for a "Development Platform" project using Django and want to setup a upload/download feature where the users of the platform can upload various files (Excel files, css files, pdf files, C# scripts, unity packages, blender files etc) and other users can then download these files through an endpoint. I have the upload file endpoint configured and properly working. At the download file endpoint, I want to receive the filename that the user wants to download and also verify the user's credentials and permissions for downloading that file and do some other model queries and checks too and finally find that file in my /media/ folder and serve it to the user's browser for auto downloading or a download pop-up on the browser. (This download file endpoint would get hit when user presses "Download File" button on the frontend). How can I achieve this in django? How do I "send" that file as a response to the user's browser for downloading?
