via btc
but after buying will you assist me and help me to develop site
digital ocean via btc cost 15$ per month
steel tiger
You can cancel it then
native tide
digital ocean is costly.
steel tiger
You have 2 weeks or 1 month of cancelation period by law
You can do it for $5 at the cheapest
The thing you brought won't work
native tide
i knowbut digital ocean dont accept btc, they accept 5$ via card
i dont have card, i am a student.
steel tiger
My spidey senses lean towards you saving it from a couple years ago
steel tiger
Try vultr or linode
native tide
anyways, i will move to digital ocean
after i will get high traffic
which i am not sure*
steel tiger
$55 a year?
Add like $10 into vps account
And use it for a month to see how it is
What site is it
steel tiger
If it's a vps then sure if you really want to
Not sure why you're going for hostinger specifically
native tide
tranquil robin
in Django, can I use {% load staticfiles %} in the base layout that I extend, and then use static urls in the children templates?
or do I have to load the static files in each childtemplate seperately?
steel tiger
Ok then
steel tiger
You can
native tide
what is the cli command to install python
steel tiger
sudo apt-get install python3
steel tiger
Research the rest for yourself
steel tiger
No clue on that
native tide
like on vps
steel tiger
Just do apt-get install python3?
native tide
i have to install python inside domain name?
steel tiger
No
native tide
or on linux system
rustic pebble
Erm
steel tiger
native tide
on linux systemm on vps
rustic pebble
are u good in python?
steel tiger
Watch the video and practise some basic linux stuff
steel tiger
Domain??
steel tiger
This vps has nothing to do with the domain
bleak bobcat
@tranquil robin best way to know is to try
native tide
@steel tiger
need a quick help
i want to force flarum/public directory to be webroot
what i have to modify
steel tiger
No clue
But a word containing root and a public directory don't sound the best?
That doesn't look like a vps or flask or nginx though
steel tiger
Use nginx
steel tiger
Also why are you setting up the webserver now
Instead of when you finish the rest
Use nginx not apache, no reason not too
steel tiger
Thought this was the vps
native tide
@steel tiger Cancelled the account
so now, what should be my plan.
aften buying a VPS,
how will i start ?
steel tiger
Install nginx and add a "coming soon" website somewhere onto the domain
Then learn flask and make the website then upload it
You could maybe just stop the vps instance for now if you don't want a coming soon site
Costs $5 per month so may aswell save some money

hi i wanna visualise a algorithm in web, so do i create an api for the algorithm at the back end(python) and use react and other javascript for front end to visualise it or is it better to do the whole thing in front end??
astral gyro
It depends on the thing you'll visualise. If there's huge amounts of pixels will change per frame etc. it might be hard to do this from python to java. But if the algorithm works much better in python, you can do with it too
I'm also struggling with such a thing these days. I'm not that experienced too
grim cedar
like path finding algorithm, monte carlo simulation, recursive division maze stuff like that
oh i will try to make the api in python for bacck end then do the front end in react and typescrit and other animation framework i guess. THnx @astral gyro
astral gyro
It would work better if you do the algho with javascript too. But you better try first
Btw, let me know after you finished. I wonder if you have any issues
grim cedar
for now i wasnt sure about which one to go with but i guess i will go with the python and react with other js framework for now. thnx @astral gyro
astral gyro
You're welcome
native tide
@grim cedar i want to do it too.make sure to send me a link
grim cedar
sure bud
native tide
imma change my account

Can you recommend a cheap or free hosting service for a small flask crud app?
quiet mirage
I was just looking at Digital Ocean for hosting something myself. Basic plans start at $5/month and there seem to be a lot of ready to deploy images to base your app off of
I didn't specifically look for Flask, but if it isn't one of the ready to deploy images I'm sure you can install it manually. Though you may want to double check that
grim cedar
@scenic sky try azure hosting service if u gonna work on samll flask project
its free
for what ur doing

I don't know, I haven't even used ubuntu before
I'm not even interested in web development but i need to work with javascript for a couple of project
grim cedar
isnt using typescript a better practice than javascript
grim cedar
ditch javascript haha
native tide
do you know about seting vps
native tide
i used ubuntu
grim cedar
iw ould recommend centos for vps even tho ubuntu is lot easier to use
native tide
i am using 16, do 18 is stable?
grim cedar
yea it is
native tide
is there any problem with 16
native tide
1 year
grim cedar
lts is usually for 5 years
16 is simple to use too
so there is no problem in using 16
u can upgrade it afterwards
grim cedar
debian is good ??but have u used debian before
native tide
i am asking about ubuntu
astral gyro
Do you guys know a kind of free hosting to run only a bunch of pything scrpits without any other data like images or databases
grim cedar
azurehosting @astral gyro
astral gyro
@native tide As i said, I haven't used ubuntu before and I'm not into web development
grim cedar
jsut go for 18.04 lts @native tide
native tide
minimal, vestacp, webmin?
grim cedar
is based on what u need tbh??
if u r not doing anything advanced
jsut go for minimal
grim cedar
go with control panel then
native tide
and create website like https://math.stackexchange.com
or stackoverflow
grim cedar
@astral gyro ye and u get 1 year trial
native tide
do vestacp , webmin are control panel?
and which cp?
grim cedar
if ur doing something not related to images or database and static try github pages @astral gyro
vestacp
astral gyro
@grim cedar alright, thanks
grim cedar
u can always add new features based on ur needs @native tide
i recmmoned u to go with minimal tho
grim cedar
its like control panel are for newbie
where u can control all ur services in one single location
grim cedar
have u done this before ??
native tide
you just said minimal.
okay
VestaCP is simpler and straightforward, but given the recent security issues at which the developers themselves admitted they have no clue what's wrong, I'd stay away from them.
saw this on reddit
grim cedar
hmmm they probably fixed it by now
tho
@native tide if u know how to setup everything that u want in ur vps than minimal it is bud
others are just providing u with interface to work on specific stuffs thats all
like webmin just providing u with web interface for ur sys admin stuffs
native tide
okay
@grim cedar after install CP , can i still setup everything myself
as required
grim cedar
cp has most of the things u need for ur vps
grim cedar
yea u can
grim cedar
jus install it
grim cedar
just create a local non root user and run dicourse on it
native tide
oh yea
grim cedar
and all that thing
native tide
Done
grim cedar
sweet
native tide
installed ubuntu 18 with vestacp
grim cedar
sweet 😄
grim cedar
make a website than ?
native tide
wait'
native tide
okay
what about using python in backend
what is the benefit of it?
and how do i connect with backend
@grim cedar
grim cedar
u dont have to use python for backend, just choose it based on ur needs
native tide
how?
grim cedar
like each language have their own perks
grim cedar
ye ofc
grim cedar
yea to log in
native tide
grim cedar
obtain ur csr from ur vps
grim cedar
ye login to ur ssh
grim cedar
ye so they already have that for u
native tide
but i wanted nginx as web server
grim cedar
u sud read docmentation just so u know what u can do with that software
native tide
@grim cedar
here
what is domain instances here?
I am trying to point my domain to my server
i have setup nameserve
grim cedar
wym
grim cedar
u see that www

guys is there a way in django to query a db foreign key using the string value of the attribute instead of the id?
class Menu(models.Model):
item = models.CharField(max_length=30)
category = models.ForeignKey(
Category, on_delete=models.CASCADE, related_name="menu_category"
)
sprice = models.DecimalField(max_digits=4, decimal_places=2)
lprice = models.DecimalField(max_digits=4, decimal_places=2)
using Menu.objects.filter(category="pizza") doesn't work, I have to do Menu.objects.filter(category=1)

How do I filter out already taken foreignkey or OneToOne objects in django.
#models.py
from django.db import models
class Appointments(models.Model):
date = models.DateField(unique=True)
time = models.TimeField(unique=True)
class Booking(models.Model):
Appointment = models.OneToOneField(Appointments, unique=True, on_delete=models.CASCADE, error_messages={'unique': 'This time has been already taken, please choose another time.'})
firstname = models.CharField(max_length=150)
lastname = models.CharField(max_length=150)
email = models.EmailField()
number = models.IntegerField()
message = models.TextField()```Now it only returns that error message, when time is already taken.
I am thinking about checking if there's Booking object which has id of the Appointments object and if it matches it won't let you take the Appointments time

hi y'all im delving into web dev atm and I was wondering what the best way to manage js dependencies is? I have been using cdnjs to import the libraries I need but I think that I want to move to something like NPM but rn it doesnt make sense how that fits in? I want something where I specify the libraries I want (package.json) and run a simply command to download and pack it into a single js file as if I had downloaded it manually and placed it in the assets folder. Is NPM the right tool here?

Virtualenv is robbing me for a week of progression
Anyonr using wsl for dev ?
Now i underatand why people just get macs

If you don't want to deal with it anymore you could run Linux in a VM
Anyway if you have a WSL question you should just ask
native tide
@vagrant adder went to sleep it was 6 am here
Virtualenv and packages
Cant seem to .ake it work for almost a week now ieven formated my disk and when i had fresh windows i managed my project to click ot was like after r days of trying and i just wanted to relax and left it all for almost 2 days
Then yesterday i was setting up postgres env vars i started to run into errors
I really cant think of anything except thst some package update messed things up , apart from that i use pycharm and ever since im running into errora. When i move my req.txt into folder pycharm recognize it and says packages x y are missing and u hit install . But right now it hust keep reporting only 2 packages
Idk is it possible but like there is some ghost venv over everything idk how to describe it im talking no sense prolly but i had my projects up and runing with 0 toubles since last week the only thing i did was upgrading pip in that period ... idk really clueless Nd lost ill try with wsl or just install linux on anothef hdd
All this means that i am doing something wrong but i use pycharm and create venv when needed actually i created 2 of em , one was for 20 lines flaks proje t just to see will my migrations work they did , and other one was from git pull
native tide
I know it something with me im not like oh this stupid machine what ever , but i cant seem to see what is causing this , like a 6 y old kid can create venv and install packages in it after 20 mins tutorial . I left the CMD way because i tough im missing something due to lack of "vizualzation" moved onto py charm i see every venv created all the packages inside , idk... Its something with SQLAlchemy , because all the other imports work as soon as i import my db , it says that modul doesnt exist . At first i tough im having some circular import , i spent a day trying to solve it . THen i just created new project with 20 lines , nah...
WIll make a final push today reinstall python ill use last req..text that actually worked and work my way up to see is there some conflict with package versions or something...
Everything seem to work fine when i use outdated packages..
native tide
Sorry its more of a rant..
tranquil robin
it does get frustrating when you cannot solve something like this, and then it turns out to be something trivial and stupid that makes you wonder how you couldn't figure it out 😄
but best of luck finding a solution 🙂
native tide
@tranquil robin yup...
sturdy sapphire
please do not use that kind of language here @tranquil robin

Is it possible to make some type of website so lets say someone visit the site, then the python code gets the directory of the guy that visited the site? In my case I am making a site that goes to the visitors path and extract some local files there and send prints its content to the console.. is this possible?
jagged lark
No, for security reason, the web page doesn't have access to that sort of data
finite lava
so there wouldnt be any other way to achieve this?
what about downloading a file automatically when someone visit the website?
jagged lark
You'd have them to download and execute a file
finite lava
Thats ok enough, but it can't be done as a background process or something?
jagged lark
It doesn’t sound very legit, does it?
You’d require a user input at some point anyway

Hello everybody,
I am still kinda new but I managed to make an agreement with a business to build them a simple website with some functionality. I will do it with Flask and I will use some common libraries/packages. I would go for the paid $12/month package, although I still have some questions:
-
The app needs to send like a confirmation email. I've read that SMTP is not functioning or is blocked in Pythonanywhere? How can I understand this?
-
Is Pythonanywhere maintenance free? In the sense that I do not have to do any server maintenance or update? This might be one reason that is appealing over a droplet at DigitalOcean.
-
Is Pythonanywhere generally used as hobby place to host Flask projects or can it surely be used for proper and serious python apps?
Thank you in advance anybody who took the time to read and answer me! Have a nice day!
vagrant adder
Did your client force you to go with pythonanywhere hosting solution? Digital ocean, linode and gcloud have cheap hostings too
native tide
Hey saki, no - I have free choice. I don't mind about the price, I just wish to have a very easy and reliable server in the long run
With digital ocean, all server configuration, maintenance and updates have to be done by me - and if there is a solution I could avoid dealing with the server, then it would be perfect
vagrant adder
No platform does maintenance with such a low $/month

@native tide , i just finished a graphql api which is hosted on gcloud and their dashboard and options are extremely good for money i am paying
Linode and google have an api which you can use to see your server's uptime and such info
You are gonna have to set firewall rules and nginx manually but i don't mind that

Gcloud? I will check it out
But that means that with any option I still have periodically server work to do, right?

I have a Django application with a page that contains many different products.
I want to have a modal that appears when the add button of a product is clicked, so that the user can choose the properties of the products and add it to the cart.
I have about 50 products in the page, and I need about 3 different modals for 3 different product groups.
what would be the best way of doing something like this?
tired root
@tranquil robin Javascript
Append the html for the modal at the end of your page, with visibility hidden. Then show it on your page, load content with a xhr
That is the canon way of doing that
tranquil robin
so i would create a django view, that accepts a request and returns the required database info to JS.
then JS will modify the modal according to the information I received using Handlebars or something similar?
tired root
whats handlebars? I've never used django, but if you wanna do it without a page reload, that is the way of doing it
tranquil robin
handlebars is a JS template, like Mustache
tired root
Yeah, I don't use these things. I write it myself.
makes smaller code without surprises
tranquil robin
what do you mean you write it yourself?
you write the html creation inside JS instead of replacing in templates you mean?
tired root
I write my own js code, I don't use libraries
tranquil robin
I don't get what you mean by that 😄
tired root
The information you need is in my first answer. If you want a dynamic modal, append the html to the page and show it as needed and load the content with a request from javascript
how you implement it is up to you

Hey guys, I'm kinda stumped. I'm working with the bottle framework for a university course project. I'm trying to set cookies (there is a bottle function and tutorial for that, so thats ok) but also adding the cookie data into a database as they are handed out, from which I can presumably count visitors and show the stats on a page and greet the visitor with a cookies information popup or a simple greeting popup if they visited before while showing their visit count. I'm using HTML, CSS and JS to build the website and SQLite to manage the database. My skills with each of these are rudementary at best and the tutorials I find for things like this are always with PHP or jQuery, but I was hoping to stick with what I'm sort of familiar with and not having every other line of code in a different language. Any thoughts/ideas or good resources to point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance ✌️

I need advice, i wanna have a "search" page on my flask app. So users will have a little html page with fields that you can enter like idk "Max number of potato" and "Color : red". Aim is to search my db to search things that match that criteria.
I was wondering on best way to do it
I was thinking of having js code that send a request with json, parse it manually or via marshmallow and give it to a function that will then search my db
tranquil robin
why? just use a form, and POST the info to the same route
gilded monolith
Is it doable /sane ? Idk much about all the things i said and i see that there is many options
I was thinking that configuring each field in both html, my flask route function then searching function woule be more work than parse a json
And also, to learn new stuff
For now i have 5/10 criterias but i would want something that i don't have to chnge too much if i have 20/30
tranquil robin
with a form you will only need to add the fields you want, so its scalable

What should you include or put in the home page
Its the first page the visitor sees
You will never get another chance to make a first impression.

Is there a way in django I can split a forms.selectmultiple into 2 or more separate dropdowns?
bleak bobcat
I mean, you could but I feel like if you need to do that there's something wrong in your logic. Why not have 2 or more selectmultiple ?
tranquil robin
well I have an object Order that has one of its properties extra that is created with a manytomany relation, now if I create a form with a multiplechoice field, it gives all the items in 1 list or 1 group of checkbox, but I would like the user to be able to select the same entry in extra more than once if he wants
so i thought I could maybe split it up to several dropdowns
bleak bobcat
Oh, so you're not looking to split but to duplicate
tranquil robin
you can think of it like a pizza, and you can choose the toppings. (toppings = extra). now maybe someone wants to choose mushrooms twice instead of being forced to choose mushrooms and then another topping because mushroom is already selected
bleak bobcat
I would do it with a formset. Add a topping = create a new form in the formset
tranquil robin
ok, i willl check the formset out, thank you 🙂

Hello! I've been struggling to implement a file uploading feature to my flask project for days now. I've been able to upload files with a regular form but I need to do some form of file chunking since I want to accept really large files. Could anyone help me figure this out :3?
vagrant adder
File chunking? If you don't want files on your server os, dropbox or boto3 apis are what you are looking for
hollow glacier
The thing is that I do want them on my server, the project is a "personal cloud" or an interface for a nas at home
So I want my server to accept the files, store the file path in a db and then save it to a folder on a hard drive. I've got everything figured out except for the file chunking. A normal html form isn't capable enough since I want to be able to upload larger files than a couple of mb
brisk spindle
AFAIK JavaScript allows accessing bytes of files you have picked using file input.
Plain HTML can’t do this.
hollow glacier
Yeah I know
And I've been looking at a lot of different js libraries and stuff like that
But I can't find anything ood
good
And I can't find any good resources on how flask is going to stitch the file together when it's receiving the chunks

I am not not really sure where to put this, feel free to direct me! But does anyone know of a website or API or something, that I can pull updates on free games? like from steam, humble and epic? Preferably from one source. I know there's a few Python modules for getting Steam data. But I don't know any for Humble Bundle and EPIC Games. And those two sites, looks a like a massive main in the butt to scrape :S
brisk spindle
@hollow glacier https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/File/Using_files_from_web_applications you may start there
Files are simply streams of bytes, you can append to a file as you receive it’s parts
hollow glacier
As I'm understanding it, this thing takes care of the "streaming"?
I just kinda need to follow the docs
So the xhr, filereader and File api and stuff does most of the work for me? Awesome!! I'm going to try this as soon as I can
hollow glacier
But how would flask/python stitch togetehr the file?
some kind of file write function?
brisk spindle
Yep, simply append to binary file every next chunk
hollow glacier
fo= open("test.txt", "w")
filebuffer = streamthing
fo.writelines(filebuffer)
fo.close()
Something like that prbs
brisk spindle
Be aware, there might be duplication or missing parts, always validate index of a part
hollow glacier
wdym with validate?
brisk spindle
‘ab’ instead ‘w’
and f.write
If you have written first 23 parts of a file, you can append only 24th, not 56th nor 14th
well, technically speaking you can precreate huge file filled with zeroes beforehand
Then randomly write parts of it using f.seek
but you’ll have to keep progress data somewhere
Uploading huge files over unstable channel isn’t easy

in django I have a form with 3 fields (name / address / number) is there a way to manually put each one of these fields in the template in html, instead of using {{ form|crispy }} ??
i tried using {{ form.name|crispy }} and the same with the other fields, but I end up with AttributeError: 'BoundWidget' object has no attribute 'field'
bleak bobcat
tranquil robin
yes I read that, but its still giving me the same error
bleak bobcat
Because you can't use crispy when rendering forms manually
The whole point of crispy is to render a whole form according to a template for each fields
So you either make your own crispy templates or you render the fields manually without crispy

I am trying to have google sheets trigger an on edit event in python. I have looked at this stack overflow question and I would like to implement the solution from the last answer. I am open to doing it another way as well, if you can think of something better.
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38225812/gspread-change-listener
Copying from stack overflow this is the given answer:
In google apps script:
function onEdit (e) {
UrlFetchApp.fetch("http://myaddress.com");
}
And then in python after installing tornado
import tornado.ioloop
import tornado.web
class MainHandler(tornado.web.RequestHandler):
def get(self):
on_edit()
self.write('Updating.')
def on_edit():
# Code here
pass
app = tornado.web.Application([(r'/', MainHandler)])
app.listen(#port here)
tornado.ioloop.IOLoop.current().start()
I am very green on web stuff however, and I have a couple of questions:
How would I generate the URL address that UrlFetchApp.fetch() function uses? Surely it can't be localhost?
How do I decide what port to use? Is it arbitrary as long as I stay within the correct range?
Would I need to pay for a domain or something to have this working?
If you have any information that you think is helpful, please share 🙂 Would love it if you can tag me with @twin thunder as well.

in Django is it possible to provide a variable when creating a form form = Myform(variable="something") and use that variable to change the querysets of the form?
Note: Myform was created using form.ModalForm
fickle wren
Hey @tranquil robin - I think you should be able to do something like this:
class MyForm(ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = YourModel
def __init__(self, variable=None, **kwargs):
super(MyForm, self).__init__(**kwargs)
if variable:
self.fields['YourModel'].queryset = YourModel.objects.filter(variable=variable)
Maybe you could give it a try and let us know if that works for you^

Hi there, I have a question regarding Django ORM. I'm creating a demo project for my resume and was curious if such a relationship is possible to define when creating the models:
Especially since some of the relationships are "two-way" like Customer.jobs and Job.customer, the documentation only explains 'one-way' relationships. Doing this is quite easy just with some filtered queries, but I just didn't know if it is 'better' to just define these relationships within the models themselves, since there is a lot of overlapping data from connected models on each of the pages giving a detailed view on a given object/model. Thanks.
I hope the illustration helps more than confuses.
bleak bobcat
class Job(models.Model):
customer = models.ForeignKey(to=Customer, related_name="jobs", .....)
technicians = models.ManyToManyField(to=Technician, related_name="jobs", .....)

I'm wondering. Anyone willing to do some design review ?
I made a +-300 LOC website. I tried to do the simplest, most standard and with the less dependencies website with the purpose to test Django philosophy. I'm wondering if I made some major design errors. I'm experienced with Spring & Angular and I've been working with a custom python web framework for several months now so I'm not coming from nowhere but Django does seem different than what I'm used to.
Probably speaking of 15-30 minutes of your time. Of course I'll return the favor (Python, Java, SQL or whatever I may be able to help with).
I suppose I could document myself but that would take me tens of hours and I'm not sure I want to continue in this direction if it doesn't fit my needs and I already read so much documentation and I need human contact XD (my colleagues are robots).

when using Flask and WTForms, is it safe to disable CSRF on a subform? such as:
triangle = FieldList(FormField(CET_Pair_Form), min_entries=3)
submit = SubmitField('Save')
class Meta:
csrf = False
side = SelectField(u'Side', choices=symbols, coerce=str)
ex = SelectField(u'Ex', choices=symbols, coerce=str)
Without csrf your site can be attacked with xss based attacks
weary arrow
the main form (CET_Triangle_form) still has CSRF, and form.hidden_tag() is used in the template. my question is for the subform (CET_Pair_Form)
the subform isn't ever used without the main form

Hi,
I'm using Selenium to fill in a form/field and then a dropdown list appears when I input the string and I press enter to validate the choice.
I used time.sleep(3) to make sure that the text is written before pressing enter (and it works).
But I want to switch to a cleaner way to do that and tried to implicitly wait but the button enter doesn't wait for the input and press enter too fast. When debugging, it works normally though.
Is there any way to make sure that the input is filled in before pressing enter ? (except for using time.sleep)

I am having problem regarding adding entry to a many to many relation field in Django. I have the models as follows
class Address(models.Model):

country = CountryField(blank_label='(select country)', blank=False, null=False, verbose_name='Country')
state = models.CharField(
max_length=50,
choices=STATE_CHOICES,
verbose_name='State',
blank=False,
null=False

class Volunteer(models.Model):
userID = models.OneToOneField(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE, to_field='id', primary_key=True, related_name='volunteer')
identificationNumber = models.CharField(max_length=50, unique=True, blank=False, null=False, verbose_name='Identification Number')
currentAddress = models.ManyToManyField(Address, related_name='volunteerCurrentAddress', verbose_name='Current Address', blank=False)
permanentAddress = models.ManyToManyField(Address, related_name='volunteerPermanentAddress', verbose_name='Permanent Address', blank=False)
...
def save(self, *args, **kwargs):
self.slug = self.userID.username
super(Volunteer, self).save(*args, **kwargs)
And in the views, I get both the currentAddress and permanentAddress fields as a ManyToManyRelatedManager. They are temporaryVolunteer.currentAddress and temporaryVolunteer.permanentAddress. I use these to create a new Volunteer instance as
volunteer = Volunteer(...)
volunteer.save()
volunteer.currentAddress.add(temporaryVolunteer.currentAddress.all()[0])
volunteer.permanentAddress.add(temporaryVolunteer.permanentAddress.all()[0])
volunteer.save()
But when I do print(volunteer.currentAddress.all()) or print(volunteer.permanentAddress.all()), it returns an empty queryset. I also checked the admin site for confirmation and there are no entries of address on the volunteer instance. Can anyone please help me to add the entries. Thank You!

updated code
ill have to mystbin it soon

@haughty saffron seems that transition isn't compatible with all properties. e.g. this works fine html <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <style> button { width: 100px; height: 100px; background: red; transition: 2s ease-in-out; } button:hover { width: 300px; } </style> </head> <body> <button></button> </body> </html>
but if you swap width for background it won't work
clear kayak
I'm sure there's a way to do it, my original example transitions background color just fine. Just can't figure out quite why 😦
bleak bobcat
@haughty saffron Might be because you forgot the unit of time
css has no idea if you're talking about seconds or ms
haughty saffron
that will probably be why
I'll just settle with it being bouncy since unit dont work either
clear kayak
my example is probably inheriting some bootstrap properties that make it magically work
clear kayak
Any idea why this doesn't work then?
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
button {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
background-color: red;
transition: 2s ease-in-out;
}
button:hover {
background-color: white;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<button></button>
</body>
</html>
Ohhhh I got it
can't use background-color: white;
background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 1); fixes it
haughty saffron
ok hang on
in the <style> tag it doesnt work
but if i link it via <link>
it works
bleak bobcat
might have been a cache issue

Excuse me, everyone, is this the right place to make a question about GitHub?
native tide
- What kind of question
- If it's related to Python then yes and it's more suitable in #python-discussion channel.
cunning yarrow
- It's about making a GitHub page inaccessible, while keeping others visible/accessible.
- No, I believe it is exclusive to GitHub's functionalities.
native tide
Perhaps in one of the off-topic channels, #ot0-fear-of-python, #ot1-this-regex-is-impossible, #ot2-the-original-pubsta. Bonkers.
cunning yarrow
Thanks I guess
shadow hornet
@cunning yarrow that isn't particularly possible without control of the backend, which GitHub pages doesn't give you

Hi guys ive created a simple search function that my boss wants to put onto his webpage to help him and his staff. ive written it in python just wanting to know if anyone knows where i should be looking for information on making it compatible with html?
bleak bobcat
Your boss already have a webpage ?
narrow vessel
yeah
page currently in wordpress, all i need to do is package my little code and file up so it can be inserted into page
i know sql works with html so i thought i could try get it through that way?
kindred glacier
I want to create a directory website where users can add their own listings. Bootstrap for front end, python, flask and postgresql for back end. What do you guys think?
pliant falcon
@narrow vessel joining the question I just started to learn flask.. so far I saw only forms, user management with python on a website.. is there an option to use my pure python script that do somthing different from other websites?
bleak bobcat
The universal solution would be to move your function to a flask app and make it return json then from your other website call your flask app with javascript

How should I factorize CRUD links in a generic list view ?
{% extends "thrifty_app/base.html" %}
{% block content %}
<p><a href="{% url 'party_create' %}">Create a Party</a></p>
{% if party_list %}
<table>
<tr>
{% block list_header %}
<p>Developer must overwrite block named "list_header"</p>
{% endblock list_header %}
<th>Links</th>
</tr>
{% for item in object_list %}
<tr>
{% block list_row %}
<p>Developer must overwrite block named "list_row"</p>
{% endblock list_row %}
<td>
<a href="{% url 'party_detail' item.id %}">Detail</a>
<a href="{% url 'party_update' item.id %}">Update</a>
<a href="{% url 'party_delete' item.id %}">Delete</a>
</td>
</tr>
{% endfor %}
</table>
{% else %}
<p>You have yet to create one</p>
{% endif %}
{% endblock content %}
You can see that I partially hardcoded links. I'd like to change that to be able to use template for other models.
I guess I could either:
- make a function / property with relevant available from the model
- inject relevant information in the context
But both looks like overkill.
tranquil robin
I have a table on my webpage and I want to colour the text in cells in a certain row according to their text, whats the best way of doing that?
dry pawn
@tranquil robin Which technology ?
tranquil robin
JS or JQuery are the 2 I know atm
dry pawn
I'd add a dedicated css class to relevant row using a conditional implemented in JS/JQuery I guess.
Loop on your table, find row, add class.
tranquil robin
would that be better than changing the style.color of the cell?
tired root
yes because you don't need to dive into the code when you are changing it
dry pawn
It's also fine. I generally prefer having all style information in my css files but that might not be the best depending your scenario and it also depends your taste. At the very least, I don't have arugments against that.
dry pawn
Well, here is a better answer ^^
tired root
and please don't add jquery as depdency just for this... it is one line in js
tranquil robin
oki
one more thing
I am comparing each cell to 4 different text values ( ex. Ready, Preparing, Broken ) is an if statement checking each condition the best way?
if text = ready:
do
elif text = Preparing:
do
elif text = Broken:
do
or is there a better way?
tired root
if text in [Preparing, Broken, ready]
tranquil robin
yeah but if it is Broken it will be red, if it is Ready it will be green etc
tired root
but then you have only one code path
if you need multiple code pathes, then doing it for each is the way
bleak bobcat
@tranquil robin Do you have a backend on your website ? Where does the table content come from ?
tranquil robin
the table does come from the backend
bleak bobcat
Then it would be a lot smarter to set the class directly from the backend
tranquil robin
why is that?
bleak bobcat
Well, doing it in javascript means the client will have to do it, slowing down your frontend. Sure you may not feel it because you don't have a lot of records, but if you were working wih hundrer of thousands of records you would. You're already looping through your data when rendering the html, might aswell take the opportunity to set a class at the same time
pliant falcon
How can I get to the level that I can understand what you saying guys?
tranquil robin
@bleak bobcat but if its only about 10 or 15 items I guess it won't be an issue then?
tranquil robin
no it doesn't
tired root
Then he is right, just use the jinja2 syntax to set the class on the backend
tranquil robin
oki great, thank you both 🙂
bleak bobcat
Even if the data was dynamic, it would be better to already have the class value from the backend instead of having a condition for every single entry
tired root
If the data changes on the frontend dynamically, using js is a valid approach
you spare the user the reload
bleak bobcat
And you should also spare the user's cpu hundreds of thousands of uncessary conditions.
Data can be dynamic/async while still coming with a class from the backend
tired root
I think you are wildly exaggerating the issue, but ok
bleak bobcat
I mean, there's other arguments for the backend to do the work...What if you wanted to add a new state other than Preparing, Broken, ready ? If javascript is the one doing the work you'll have to modify that there too. What if you forget ?
tired root
I don't think forget is a valid reason
bleak bobcat
No, but code maintenability is
tired root
ok you are right and I have my peace. You are just making things up now, but I am not going to argue

I have a question about Django ORM. How can I fetch rows following two relations between the same two tables ?
Ex. in SQL:
SELECT *
FROM transaction
WHERE transaction.buyer = current_user_id OR transaction.seller = current_user_id
ORDER BY emission_date DESC
Using the ORM, I can easily do user.sale_set or user.purchase_set but I need to merge the two, basically telling the ORM to do the above SQL query.
fickle wren
Can you show what your tables look like for Transaction and User (where the current_user_id is pointed to)
@dry pawn
dry pawn
I simplified a bit for explanation purpose. Transaction is linked to a model called Party which is basically the same thing as a User in this context.
class Transaction(models.Model, ModelSlug):
"""
The exchange of goods or services for money between two parties
"""
article = models.CharField(max_length=255, help_text='The exchanged goods or services')
payment = models.FloatField(help_text='The monetary compensation')
buyer = models.ForeignKey(Party, related_name='purchase_set', on_delete=models.CASCADE,
help_text='He who receives the article')
seller = models.ForeignKey(Party, related_name='sale_set', on_delete=models.CASCADE,
help_text='He who provides the article')
emission_date = models.DateTimeField('Emission Date', default=timezone.now,
help_text='When it was issued by its author')
And:
class Party(models.Model, ModelSlug):
"""
Someone that can possess, spend and receive money
"""
name = models.CharField(max_length=255, help_text='Easily identifies party')
Mmmh, I think it will be very simple after all, it's only a disjunction
quiet solstice
You can usue Django's orm to fetch since you already in that.
dry pawn
from django.db.models import Q
Transaction.objects.filter(Q(seller=self.request.user.party) | Q(seller=self.request.user.party))
I don't know why it bugged me... It sounded more complicated at first.
fickle wren
That is the correct idea but I am not sure if thats technically correct. I understand you said Party is basically the same thing as a User but buyer and seller are not actually the user who is signed in right? Unless you have User related to party in someway that I am not seeing
dry pawn
@fickle wren The idea is that each User gets a Party that corresponds to himself. That party defines if a Transaction is incoming or outgoing.
I plan to either extends User (from auth package) so that it has that party attribute or add a one-to-one relation between Party and User (Party.user) that will only be fulfilled for instances that correspond to a User.
Said Party will be created when user register, along with the User.
dry pawn
Yeah, I gave some thought to that and I'm still not sure I like these solutions.
I plan to later on add a permission system to fulfill a feature where a User can manage several Party (your children, husband, wife, whoever). I'll think of a better solution at that point.

I was wondering one thing how safe is flask-session ? As far as i know its serveer based session ? And you could only see the token not the stuff inside of it ?
kindred glacier
I want to create a directory website where users can add their own listings. Bootstrap for front end, python, flask and postgresql for back end. What do you guys think?
vagrant adder
@kindred glacier listings of what?
@native tide session based auth is good if you have only 1 instance of flask app
if you have multiple, shard sessions between instances are not possible
that's where jwt comes into play

trying to config a pyramid app deployment to host with reverse proxy via nginx. I would like the app to serve from a base url like "https://site.com/app/" I have followed this resource https://docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/pyramid-cookbook/en/latest/deployment/uwsgi_nginx_systemd.html. so far I haven't turned anything up on how to configure the pyramid app to use the base url prefix
is there a header that I am missing, that should be passed along
lofty matrix
In django, I'm using the shell to, on an instance of a model, call clean() then save(). This produces a different result from some code I added to those methods to when I save a model in the admin interface. I had thought that saving in the admin interface just called clean() then save(). Is this incorrect?
clear kayak
From what I can tell, neither .clean() nor .full_clean() are invoked when calling .save()
You can override save() to add them if you want, of course
lofty matrix
yea, I manually call clean, then manually call save

@native tide Is the style.css in the static directory? Are you using flask?
