Updating a user model in Django when they fill out a form on a different model
I am struggling to work out how to achieve something and would appreciate someone suggesting the correct Django way to do it. I have a custom user model which is fairly basic but includes a BooleanField which says whether they have filled out a voluntary equality and diversity form. There is a very basic model which holds the equality and diversity form data without any reference to the users which filled out each response. What I want is this, when a user fills out a valid equality and diversity form it puts True in the user model box to say they have filled out the form. I would be massively appreciative if anyone knows the correct way to do this as I am tying myself up in knots and have got myself quite confused. Here is a simplified version of the code: users/models.py class CustomUser(AbstractUser): # Has the user completed the EDI form? edi = models.BooleanField(default=False) def get_absolute_url(self): return reverse('profile', args=[str(self.username)]) equality_diversity/models.py class EqualityDiversity(models.Model): age = models.CharField(max_length=8, choices=AGE_CHOICES) ethnicity = models.CharField(max_length=64, blank=True, null=True) ... (etc) equality_diversity/views.py class EqualityDiversityView(LoginRequiredMixin, CreateView): model = EqualityDiversity template_name = 'equality_diversity.html' form_class = EqualityDiversityForm login_url = 'login' success_url = '/' def form_valid(self, form): return super().form_valid(form) -
Implement LiteSync on Django
I've tried to write sync sqlite database between 2 different Server but same app and DB. But when i turn on litesync.io in console, it doesnt synchronize the Django project with Django project in another server. I know it's wrong because i must configure it first in django project, but i've tried to change NAME of DATABASES into URI and it not work. I've tried it in console to execute query, it works, but not in Django Project. So, how to implement litesync on Django project? How to save data into Sqlite DB by URI? -

Where to put customized views that inherits from django-allauth?
I have a Django project that has one app (survey), so in my project's urls.py, I have: urlpatterns = [ ... path('accounts/', include('allauth.urls')), path('survey/',include(('survey.urls','survey'), namespace='survey')), ...] I am using django-allauth to provide the authentication mechanism. However, I inherited the SignupView that is in Django-Allauth like so: class MySignupView(SignupView): def form_valid(self.request): self.user = form.save(self.request) assignmentAttendance=AssignmentAttendance.objects.create(user=user, assignment=Assignment.objects.get(id=1), status=False) assignmentAttendance.save() assignmentAttendance = AssignmentAttendance.objects.create(user=user, assignment=Assignment.objects.get(id=2), status=False) assignmentAttendance.save() try: return complete_signup( self.request, self.user, app_settings.EMAIL_VERIFICATION, self.get_success_url()) except ImmediateHttpResponse as e: return e.response The additional process (in the override the form_valid) is to create data for another model in the survey app. I do not know the best place to put the class MySignupView, so I put it in the project's urls.py and then add its view to the urlpatterns: urlpatterns = [ ... path('accounts/', include('allauth.urls')), path('survey/',include(('survey.urls','survey'), namespace='survey')), path('accounts/signup', MySignupView.as_view(), name="account_signup"), ...] Doing this works, since my MySignupView is what is called when a user wants to signup instead of the SignupView from Django-allauth. Is there a better configuration for where to writing custom views and where to put them. If so, how should it be done? I am aware that Django-allauth has a default way for adding custom form by setting the ACCOUNT_FORMS in the settings.py. … -

Allowing users to select which flow to roll back to django-viewflow
Hey all i have been using viewflow as the workflow engine in my django project. I wanted to know if it was possible to allow users to 'select' which flow they wish to roll back to if lets say an approval was rejected. Here , the director chooses 'Reject' , however it doesn't make sense to end the flow here , instead it should be a be a selectable 'roll back' , so that the the people down the line do not need to restart the entire process again. Here's what i have done so far : flows.py #director will approve or dont approve approve_by_director = flow.View( UpdateProcessView, form_class=DirectorApproveForm, task_title="Approval By Director" ).Permission("cash.director" ).Next(this.check_director) check_director = flow.If( cond=lambda act: act.process.director, task_title="Processing" ).Then(this.send).Else(this.justification) #justifications for the roll back. justification = flow.View( JustificationView, task_title="Justifications for Roll Back" ).Assign(lambda act: self.request.user ).Permission(auto_create=True ).Next(this.roll_back) roll_back = flow.Handler(this.roll_back_call).Next(this.approve_by_preparer) ##<---- here , i am just sending it back to the 'preparer' , however it would be great if this could be dynamic! end = flow.End() def roll_back_call(self, activation): esig = ESignatures.objects.filter(paymentVoucherProcess = activation.process).filter(voided = False) docu = Attachment.objects.filter(paymentVoucherProcess = activation.process).filter(voided = False) if len(esig) > 0 : for sig in esig: sig.voided = True sig.save() if … -

Django - upload_to dynamic path from different models
I'm trying to use ImageField upload_to to save the image in organize manner, but I cannot figure out if this is possible or how to. I'm trying to have this folder hierarchy inside media: Book-title Chapter 1 img1 img2 Chapter 2 img1 Models: class Book(models.Model): title = models.CharField(max_length=250, unique=True) slug = models.SlugField(max_length=250, unique=True) author = models.ManyToManyField(Author) chapter = models.ManyToManyField(Chapter, related_name='books') def image_dir_path(instance, filename): chapter = instance.slug return os.path.join(chapter, filename) class Chapter(models.Model): user = models.ForeignKey(settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL, on_delete=models.CASCADE) title = models.CharField(max_length=130, unique=True) slug = models.SlugField(max_length=150, unique=True, blank=True) picture = models.ImageField(upload_to=image_dir_path) created_at = models.DateField(auto_now_add=True) I'd like to have something like this, so I can use the book title to build the path: def image_dir_path(instance, filename): book = instance.book.slug chapter = instance.slug return os.path.join(book, chapter, filename) This do not work, instance it's only related to the class where you call image_dir_path. It's something similar possible? -

Django + Bokeh: How to pass (a large set of) model objects to bokeh server app?
I'm new to both Bokeh and Django, so bear with me please. I have a bokeh app written and rendering through Django (I am able to navigate to the website, and pull up my bokeh app, which right now reads from a local CSV to render plots). I have since set up models in Django, and a table holds the same data as the CSV. Based on the URL that a user of the (future) Django website navigates to, I can filter out the QuerySet (objects of interest) from the database (sqllite), but now I'm stuck. How do I pass it to the bokeh app? I do not want to read from a csv. Here are the options I've come up with Include it in the request arguements: I can't do this (see bigreddot's comment here), my set of objects is large (i.e. I can covert it to a dataframe, and then to a string, but again, too large. script = server_document(url=request.build_absolute_uri(), arguments={'data_input': df') I can try to read from the sqllite database/Django ORM within the app, but this seems like overkill. I literally need to read the data once, when the page is first loaded. No updates to the … -
After a comment is posted and I try to like it, ajax lags and doesn't work immediately
I have a comment liking system in a Django website I'm building, where when a comment is liked, an ajax function is called. However, I've found that right after I post a comment, and try to like my own comment, the request.is_ajax() == FALSE instead of TRUE like it normally is. After a few minutes, and I reload it, the like button works fine. Is there an explanation for this, or has anyone encountered something similar? What was your solution? I'll put my code underneath in case it's relevant, but it's strange to me because it normally works well, it's only when I try to like a comment I just posted that it glitches out. AJAX: $('#comment-form').submit(function(event){ event.preventDefault(); $.ajax({ type: 'POST', url: $(this).attr('action'), data: $(this).serialize(), dataType: 'json', success: function(response) { $('.comments-section').html(response['form']); $('.reply-link').click(function(event){ event.preventDefault(); $(this).parents('.parent-comment').next('.replies').fadeToggle(); }) $('textarea').val(''); console.log('work') }, error: function(rs, e) {console.log(rs.responseText)} }) }) VIEWS.PY: @never_cache @login_required(login_url='login') def change_comment_like(request, pk): comment = Comment.objects.get(pk=pk) print(comment) print(request.method) print(request.is_ajax()) if request.method=='POST' and request.is_ajax(): print('work') user = request.user liked = False if user in comment.likes.all(): comment.likes.remove(user) else: comment.likes.add(user) liked = True comment.save() print(comment) return JsonResponse({'liked': liked}) return redirect('post_detail', pk=comment.post.pk) -
django rest framework serializer field validation when creating and updating instance
I have a Django application which I create a new instance or update an existing one in same view function. If instance_id is not give, so I create object, else I update data of existing object using instance_id. My views.py file is: def insert_update_country(request): country_serializer = serializers.Country(data=request.data) if country_serializer.is_valid(): country_id = country_serializer.validated_data.get('country_id', None) country_name = country_serializer.validated_data.get('country_name', None) country_code = country_serializer.validated_data.get('country_code', None) country, is_created = models.Country.objects.update_or_create( id=country_id, defaults={ 'country_name': country_name, 'country_code': country_code, } ) return Response( { 'Message':_('CHANGES_HAVE_BEEN_SAVED_TO_DATABASE'), 'Succeed': True }, status=status.HTTP_200_OK ) else: return Response( { 'Message': country_serializer.errors, 'Succeed': False }, status=status.HTTP_400_BAD_REQUEST ) The problem is even if I am doing an update on an existing instance, the serializer throw error as some fields must be unique. In my example when updating a country_name due to a typo, it says an instance with this country_code exists. The reason I have found in similar questions is: Django REST Framework (DRF) expects a POST request to only create new instances. I don't want to change my request method, it should be POST. How can I change my serializer to say if country_id is None, means I am creating new instance, so do the unique validation. Otherwise if country_id is not Node, means … -

Copy many-to-many entries for new element
Django beginner here. I want to create a new row in a table and copy the references many-to-many entries from another row. I have the following models (simplified): class Missions(models.Model): player = models.ForeignKey(Players, null=True, on_delete=models.CASCADE) units = models.ManyToManyField( Units, through='MissionUnits' ) class MissionUnits(models.Model): mission = models.ForeignKey(Missions, models.CASCADE) unit = models.ForeignKey(Units, models.CASCADE) count = models.PositiveIntegerField() class Meta: constraints = [ models.UniqueConstraint(fields=['unit', 'mission'], name='unique_mission_units') ] as well as two tables where unit player are defined. So what I want to do is the following: I have an existing "Missions" entry with associated "MissionUnits" entries. I want to create a new "Missions" entry with the same "MissionUnits" as the old one The new entries should persist even if I delete the old "Missions" entry Of course I could select all the "MissionUnits" entries, and extract and copy the information in a for loop, but is there also a more direct and elegant way to do this? If I just assign the oldmission.units to newmission.units, will this copy the elements? -

Django enctype=multipart/form-data on localhost returns white screen
I am running django on a pipenv virtual machine on my MacBook on localhost:8000. I created a django form to upload an image with enctype=multipart/form-data. When clicking on submit, on all browsers, I get a white page. Checking the browsers network status, its a 400 error, and in Firefox I get: The character encoding of the plain text document was not declared. The document will render with garbled text in some browser configurations if the document contains characters from outside the US-ASCII range. The character encoding of the file needs to be declared in the transfer protocol or file needs to use a byte order mark as an encoding signature. When removing the enctype, everything works fine - but of course the image isn't uploaded. The error seems to occur before any data manipulation on my side. On a remote development server, everything works fine with and without encoding - so it seems to be related to my development environment. Unfortunately I can't find any hints on why this error occurs. Does anybody have a hint or an idea on how to solve this?
