Can't log into localhost:8000/admin ... ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED
I'm still pretty new to this web dev. I have been having trouble accessing the django admin site. I'm able to do localhost:8000 just fine. If I do localhost:8000/admin, I'm directed to the admin login page. I have already created id/pw through createsuperuser. Anyway, once I type in my id and pw, I noticed my dev server (localhost or 127.0.0.1) terminates and the login page will throw me an error saying "this site can't be reached" with ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED. I've tried turning off my internet/firewall, but it still gave me the same result. I would greatly appreciate your help. I've been having so much trouble with this because I can't access the django admin site... (i'm using macOS Catalina, if that's any useful. Also I'm just following the basic Django tutorials, so i'm not using anything like gunicorn or nginx either. ) Thanks. -
Get file mime type on pre_save in django admin
I would like to save the file mime type by getting it on pre_save signal. from django.db.models.signals import pre_save from django.db import models import magic class Media (models.Media): file = models.FileField() content_type = models.CharField(max_length=128, editable=False) def media_pre_save(sender, instance, *args, **kwargs): if not instance.content_type: mime = magic.Magic(mime=True) instance.content_type = mime.from_buffer(instance.file.read()) pre_save.connect(media_pre_save, sender=Media) But I'm getting application/x-empty when I view it in db. What am I doing wrong? -
django test giving abnormal results
I am getting weird results when testing for 2 different views. They are both list views. The first one should only show active orders(active=True), the second one only showing historic views (completed=True). I am using postgresql as a database also. Issue is that both the view works perfectly fine in the browser, however when testing pytest raises an error saying that an order that shouldn't be listed, is listed. The views are as follows: class OrderHistoryView(LoginRequiredMixin, ListView): template_name = 'orders/order_history.html' def get_queryset(self): user = self.request.user qs = Order.objects.filter(Q(buyer=user, completed=True)|Q(seller=user, completed=True)) return qs class OrderListView(LoginRequiredMixin, ListView): template_name = 'orders/order_list_view.html' def get_queryset(self): user = self.request.user qs = Order.objects.filter(Q(buyer=user, active=True)|Q(seller=user, active=True)) return qs The tests are: class OrderHistoryViewTests(TestCase): @classmethod def setUp(self): self.req = RequestFactory() self.user = mixer.blend('user.CustomUser', email='test@test.com', password='1234') self.user2 = mixer.blend('user.CustomUser') self.advert = mixer.blend('advert.Advert', author=self.user) self.offer = mixer.blend( 'offer.Offer', advert=self.advert, author=self.user2, receiver=self.user, accepted=True) self.order = mixer.blend( 'orders.Order', advert=self.advert, seller=self.user2, buyer=self.user, offer=self.offer, pending=True, completed=True, active=True, disputed=False, cancelled=False) self.order2 = mixer.blend('orders.Order', completed=False, buyer=self.user) def test_only_shows_completed(self): request = self.req.get('/') request.user = self.user resp = OrderHistoryView.as_view()(request) self.assertContains(resp, self.order) self.assertNotContains(resp, order2) The second test is exactly the same, it just tests that its only showing active orders error message is : FAILED orders/tests/test_views.py::OrderHistoryViewTests::test_only_shows_completed - AssertionError: 3 != … -

should the directory of the static file always be myapp/static/myapp/any staticfile
Though i use the staticfiles_dir in the setting and specify where to look for the static files.it works fine and have no problem,or may be there is only one app,so it works nice . i looked into django documentation and it suggests to use both. strong text -

Reading random columns from a csv file: Django
From a csv file, I want to read only 3 columns: {Id, name, approve} But when the user uploads a csv file, they could end up giving extra information in a random order e.g: {approve, reject, Id, foreign, name, approve, description} So far I have only been able to match if the "allowed headers" are present in the uploaded csv (the code below works). But how can I read the data from these "allowed headers" columns (considering their index position might be in a random order) ? My code (forms.py) def clean(self): uploaded_csv_file = self.cleaned_data['csv_file'] allowed_headers = {'id','name','approve'} validation_errors = [] if uploaded_csv_file: filename = uploaded_csv_file.name if not filename.endswith(settings.FILE_UPLOAD_TYPE): raise forms.ValidationError("Please upload .csv extension files only") # django InMemoryUploadedFile returns bytes and we need strings rows = csv.reader(StringIO(uploaded_csv_file.read().decode('utf-8'))) header = next(rows) csv_fields = set(header) csv_fields = {field.lower() for field in csv_fields} result = all(elem in allowed_headers for elem in csv_fields) # Check if list1 contains all elements of list2 using all() if not result: validation_errors.append( ValidationError('Your file could not be processed. You should provide %s columns in the file' % ', '.join(allowed_headers))) Thank you in advance :) -
Override Django Admin Landing Page
I am creating a custom django admin. I am trying to have it so that when a user logs into /admin they are directed to /admin/database (the app admin rather than the projects). I have worked overriding "index.html" with "base_site.html". This works somewhat, however, I cannot completely edit the main django-admin template so it just focuses on the apps and its causing issues for my project. Logging out issues: After logging out, when navigating to 'admin/database', I can still see the contents of the page, but when clicking on a "action" link (such as change password), it prompts to login. I think I'm fudging up the templates somehow. I want to entirely replace the django admin landing page with the custom one I built at "admin/database/index.html" path('admin/database/', include('database.urls')), path('admin/', admin.site.urls), Conceptually I would like 'admin' to point to 'admin/database' with full admin functionality. I tried deleting 'admin/', admin.site.urls and it threw an error. -

How to create a Many to Many Relation in Django
I´m new in Django and I´ve been trying to create a Model, where I have many warehouses and many products. So far I have achieved this: class Product(models.Model): idProduct = models.IntegerField(primary_key=True) name = models.CharField(max_length=50) quantity = models.IntegerField() def __str__(self): return self.name class Warehouse(models.Model): idWareouse = models.IntegerField(primary_key=True) name = models.CharField(max_length=50) address = models.CharField(max_length=100) city = models.CharField(max_length=50) products = models.ManyToManyField(Product) def __str__(self): return self.name But the problem is, that one product can be in multiple warehouses with different product quantity, and I don´t know how to model this.

Django ORM Subqueries
I'm trying to figure out how to perform the following SQL query with the Django ORM: SELECT main.A, main.B, main.C FROM (SELECT main.A, MAX(main.B) FROM main GROUP BY main.A) subq WHERE main.A = subq.A AND main.B = subq.B The last two lines are necessary because they recover the column C value when B is at a maximum in the group by. Without them, I would have A and the corresponding Max B but not the C value when B is at its max. I have searched extensively but cannot find an example that can construct this query using the Django ORM. Most examples use Django's Subquery class and show how to match the sub-queryset up with one column (so doing main.A = subq.A). But how do I match 2+ columns? -
Django Text box additional text issue
I am getting an extra text with a text box in Django.

Basic auth protected views in DRF
I have some API endpoints that i need to protect using HTTP Basic Authentication in Django Rest Framework. There is BasicAuthentication in DRF, but that actually authenticates against a user in Django, which is not what I'm looking for. I found a solution using a custom permission, but ti means monkey patching the views to set the correct authenticate header. Is there a better way? class BasicAuthPermission(permissions.BasePermission): def has_permission(self, request, view): credentials = view.credentials # Will raise AttributeError on missing credentials realm = getattr(view, 'realm', 'Protected') auth = request.headers.get('Authorization') with suppress(ValueError, AttributeError): auth = b64decode(auth.split()[-1]).decode() if auth != credentials: # Monkey patch style view.get_authenticate_header = lambda r: f'Basic realm="{realm}"' raise exceptions.AuthenticationFailed('Bad credentials.') return True Im my view: class ProtectedApiView(generics.GenericAPIView): permission_classes = [BasicAuthPermission] credentials = 'user:password' # ... -

I am trying to use a locally hosted Django webserver's HTML button to execute a python script that's on my local machine and I'm stumped
So, I'm pretty new to Django, python, and javascript. I have a partially functional Django webserver that, while developing it, I host locally on my machine. I've made a button with HTML which I've figured out can be tied to a javascript script. The next step for me was to make this button "execute" a python script that's sitting on my machine, particularly on the /desktop directory. I can of course move the script though, but the important part is that I want that python script (let's call it django_test_script.py) to open its own window on my machine. It's just a file that says "hi" in stdout, then closes after 5 seconds, but due to the plan for this whole project, I want that to happen. I want to have my website open on my machine, click that button, then have the script's console pop up on my desktop and run/finish. The eventual goal is to control an LED strip that's plugged into my raspberry pi. I want colored buttons on the website that, when clicked, run appropriate python scripts that turn the lights to that color. It wouldn't take me long to write up the python scripts themselves that … -
