CreateWithInlineView - get id from the inline before
I use "django-extra-views" to make it possible to use multiple models in one CreateView. So I want to set all things about an article like article number (first step), then all informations about the article like text, images, documents and more with one post/submit. All informations about the article are in different models with a relationship to the model "article_number". example: models.py class article_number(models.Model): article_no = models.CharField( _('article_no') ,blank=False, null=False, max_length=30) description = models.TextField( _('description') ,blank=True ,null=True, default='') class article_document(models.Model): article_no = models.ForeignKey(article_number, on_delete=models.CASCADE, related_name = 'ad_article_number', verbose_name='article no') file_type = models.ForeignKey(file_type, on_delete=models.CASCADE, related_name = 'ad_file_type', verbose_name='file type') file_name = models.CharField(_('file Name'),max_length=100, blank=False) file = models.FileField(_('file'),upload_to="product/document/", blank=True, null=True) file_created = models.DateTimeField(_('file created'),auto_now_add=True) language_code = models.ManyToManyField(language_code, blank=True) example: views.py class article_documentInline(InlineFormSetFactory): model = article_document fields = ['file_type', 'file_name', 'file', 'language_code'] class ArticleNumberCreateView(SuccessMessageMixin, CreateWithInlinesView): model = article_number inlines = [article_documentInline, ...] fields = ['article_no', 'description'] template_name = 'to_template.html' success_message = _('Article successfully created') -
Django- Clear user cache when user logged out
I am using django.core.cache to store user roles related data in the cache. The user roles are stored as keys roles_<user.id> in the cache. I want to delete the roles_<user.id> key from the cache whenever theuser logs out from the system. I used the user_logged_out auth signal for this but somehow this signal is not working(not deleting the cache data). I have created a receiver in signals.py as: def clear_user_cache(sender, user, request, **kwargs): cache.delete('roles_{}'.format(user.id)) user_logged_out.connect(clear_user_cache) My logout url is: url(r'^accounts/logout/', 'django.contrib.auth.views.logout', {'next_page': '/'}, name='auth_logout'), Logout in template: <a class="dropdown-item" href="{% url 'auth_logout' %}"><i class="la la-sign-out"></i>{% trans 'Logout' %}</a> When I hit the logout button, the user is logged out but the cache is not being cleared. If I try printing some statements in the signal receiver, they are not getting printed. I though the url in the template might have caused this problem so I tried changing it to: <a class="dropdown-item" href="/logout"><i class="la la-sign-out"></i>{% trans 'Logout' %}</a> But still nothing happened. How can I make the logout signal to fire when the user is logged out? I am using Django==1.8.18 and python2.7 -

Django | how to select_for_update() to edit and save changes only, force lock timeout?
There's hourly production plan data people might have to edit every hour 24/7. If someone edits a plan, no one should be able to edit the plan. When plan edit is complete, system should save corrections only. If someone has forgoten browser window in edit mode and his shift is over, other people should see who locked the table and be able to override database lock. There's a model class PlanData(models.Model): plan_type = models.ForeignKey(PlanType, on_delete = models.CASCADE) plan_ident = models.ForeignKey(ObjectConfig, on_delete = models.CASCADE) active_from = models.DateTimeField() hour = models.IntegerField() val = models.FloatField(blank = True, null = True) Where plan_type = 1 is current plan and plan type = 2 is corrected values I plan to lock it for edit by .select_for_update(nowait=True,of='self') I was going to set .plan_type = 2 and .pk = None for entire QuerySet when processing form data before doing save() changes. Using 'with transaction.atomic', of course. What happens if someone enters 'edit' mode, locks PC and goes home? How do I let people override locks? -
Django Admin super slow selecting single record

Accessing two apps in one view in Django
I have a Django project with two apps. The first one, market/models.py, includes a Market class and a Share class, where the latter keeps track of all shares bought or sold on any given market, as follows: class Market(models.Model): title = models.CharField(max_length=50, default="") current_price = models.DecimalField(max_digits=5, decimal_places=2) description = models.TextField(default="") shares_yes = models.IntegerField(default=0) shares_no = models.IntegerField(default=0) b = models.IntegerField(default=100) cost_function = models.IntegerField(default=0) open = models.BooleanField(default=True) def __str__(self): return self.title[:50] def get_absolute_url(self): return reverse('market_detail', args=[str(self.id)]) class Share(models.Model): user = models.ForeignKey('users.CustomUser', on_delete=models.CASCADE, related_name='user_shares', default=None) market = models.ForeignKey( Market, on_delete=models.CASCADE, related_name='market_shares', default=None) share = models.IntegerField(default=0) def __str__(self): return str(self.share) def get_absolute_url(self): return reverse('market_list') The second app, user/models.py, is to create custom users, as follows: class CustomUser(AbstractUser): points = models.IntegerField(default=1000) What I want to do is this: on clicking a button on a template for a specific market, the code will loop through all users with shares in that market to add/subtract the value of each share in their possession from their total points (subtraction would happen when users own negative shares, meaning they owe shares on account of short-selling). The value of each share at that point is simply the current market price. Here is what I have at the moment, in markets/views.py … -
Creating a table which consist of all the deleted content from my crud table
So I finished my crud operations and it works. Now I just need to create a table where all my table contents which have been deleted go to a separate table(maybe in a seperate URL). I tried using boolean in my destroy function where all the deleted items are True and the rest are False and created a separate URL for all the deleted content. But it keeps on saying the Employee is not defined from django.shortcuts import render, redirect from employee.forms import EmployeeForm from employee.models import Employee # Create your views here. def emp(request): if request.method == "POST": form = EmployeeForm(request.POST) if form.is_valid(): try: form.save() return redirect('/show') except: pass else: form = EmployeeForm() return render(request,'index.html',{'form':form}) def show(request): employees = Employee.objects.filter(False) return render(request,"show.html",{'employees':employees}) def destroy(request,id): employee = Employee.objects.get(id=id) employee.deleted=True employee.save() return redirect("/show") def deleted_list(request): employees=Employee.object.filter(True) -
Context Highlighting in Django Form
I have created a Django app that connects to an API and returns JSON response back to the Django app. The JSON response is returned on a Django template. The template where the JSON response surfaces has two boxes- the first box displays the few of the important attributes from the JSON response like UUID, emp_ID, etc while the second box displays the complete raw JSON returned. I would like to add a functionality that can help me select, let say UUID in the first box. As soon as I select it, the JSON contained in the second box gets highlighted automatically to show the selected UUID and the entire content of that particular UUID. The raw response may run into 10000 lines so I want to find a neat way to display the selected content for users. Note: The JSON is not being stored in DB and the content is lost as soon as I refresh the page. How do I achieve this? I tried checking out Haystack, Solr, etc but they seem to be DB based. I need something lightweight to achieve this. -

This users have a city column in profile and DB. It looks like this user.Profile.city.
