does automating a post actually count as scraping?
@slow rampart it's none of my business to ask whether it's one post or several but usually possibilities are limitless, you can do a lot cool shyt by scraping a website but I am sure if you try to scrap reddit, their rate-limit will kick you
native tide
Iirc, there is an api which you can use to retrieve information from subs, unless they deprecated it / removed it
slow rampart
praw?
native tide
Yeah
slow rampart
that only works for getting posts not making them afaik
wind escarp
the thing is, OP wants to send stuff out
slow rampart
im using it on a discord bot im making
native tide
I’m looking at the reddit api, and it seems you can post comments and create threads and such
why would you want do use that
slow rampart
i dont think im allowed to discuss things like that here since i believe its against reddit tos, but i will not be using it maliciously
its supposed to automate posts though, and it will have a delay so its not spamming
native tide
I wouldn't scrape reddit, there are many better websites for doing that
slow rampart
just to help automate a bit
native tide
Reddit’s /api/submit is the endpoint. Don’t know what that correlates to in praw

since I am using flask do you mean the config.py? Also, it seems to be set up properly. It at least registers locally

Now you can try it by going at localhost in your browser:

well it is just a bit more verbose and thus looks more professional.
either way both will work so no harm in keeping it the way it is

I am trying to add a dropdown list from bootstrap, as is demonstrated here:
https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.5/components/forms/#form-controls
I added it to another form, but when the form is submitted, the value for logChannel isnt provided. Help?
<form method="POST">
<label for="prefix">Prefix:</label>
<input type="text" id="prefix" name="prefix" value="{{prefix}}" size=6 maxlength=8 required><br><br>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="exampleFormControlSelect1">Example select</label>
<select class="form-control" id="exampleFormControlSelect1">
{{channelOptions}}

howdy friends, I have a custom user
class User(AbstractUser):
bot_admin = models.BooleanField(default=False)
and I would like to add the field "bot_admin" to the admin panel. I am using

add_fieldsets = UserAdmin.add_fieldsets + (
(
None,
{
"fields": ("bot_admin",),
},
),
)
admin.site.register(User, CustomUserAdmin)
but this does not affect the admin page at all it appears
oof, I need to stop posting here, I always solve these so fast after posting haha, I guess "add_fieldsets" is no longer a thing... or maybe never

cold socket
Anyone know of a good guide to seamlessly deploy my Flask app to production on a VPS?
cold socket
Oh dang that's a bulky video
acoustic oyster
he covers a lot of the basics, including setting up the server from scratch
if this is too much, linode and I think digital ocean have their own guides as well
cold socket
Yeah I'll be using DigitalOcean actually
Also if I want to run 2 flask apps on the same VPS
I should essentially do the same steps and just change the port number it runs on?
acoustic oyster
well, I personally use apache with virtual hosts. And I also use django, there should be Flask docs for official methods to serve the application
gleaming basin
lethal orbit
Also if I want to run 2 flask apps on the same VPS
@cold socket best solution: docker, docker-compose, traefik.
Decent alternative:nginxas a reverse proxy forgunicorn/uwsgiorapachewithmod_wsgiand virtual hosts.

@honest dock is this something like WTF forms? Do you need to iterate through your form file with something like {% for field in form if field.widget.input_type != 'hidden' %} to make each field show up? Also what route is your form sending the POST request to?
primal kernel
Hay guys! is someone acquainted with **Django **and Fixtures?
versed python
!paste
lavish prismBOT
versed python
write here @primal kernel
primal kernel
So I execute the next command:
python .\manage.py loaddata .\rules\fixtures\rules.json
But I get the next error:
AttributeError: Problem installing fixture 'C:\Users\Ángel - Trabajo\Documents\AVC.\rules\fixtures\rules.json': 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'id'
Oh wow i'm sorry wait
versed python
well it looks like there was an issue exporting the data
if you look at the fixture itself, every object has pk: null
primal kernel
I read that if you write pk: null it gets an autoincremental number
versed python
no
it gets that when django does the database handling for you
since you're loading data manually, you need to absolutely correct and valid fixtures, otherwise it won't work
the simplest way to fix this is just add pk=1, pk=2 as so on
versed python
show me the error
primal kernel
Same: AttributeError: Problem installing fixture 'C:\Users\Ángel - Trabajo\Documents\AVC.\rules\fixtures\rules.json': 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'id'
primal kernel
The tables are created but no data inside
versed python
i mean is there already data for the models License and the other one?
The tables are created but no data inside
@primal kernel yep that's the problem
primal kernel
No, sorry, in license and profile there is only one row with ID: 1
versed python
you see, in your fixtures, under the fields object, you are referencing to license: 1. but that doesn't exist and your database doesn't know what to do
primal kernel
The empty table is Rule
versed python
No, sorry, in license and profile there is only one row with ID: 1
@primal kernel well that complicates things
maybe just delete the database and start over again?
primal kernel
Yeah I will try
versed python
or you could wait will someone else comes along and has a better solution
primal kernel
Here
versed python
mostly deleting the db does the trick
versed python
do you have an element for profile too?
primal kernel
Yeah for both

It's ok @versed python i'll investigate, thank you so much

That means something is already listening on the port; either another copy of your app or something else.

Do you guys like Djoser in Django or it is rather crap ?
lethal orbit
Do you guys like Djoser in Django or it is rather crap ?
@native tide you know what's crap? your racist display picture.
I use numbers. You can always set the precision on the client-side.
If you just display them, it doesn't really matter. If you do calculations in JS, floating-point makes it easier.
(Assuming it is safe to ignore floating-point errors)
Normally those are small enough to be negligible if you just display prices.

How can i make a model that can have multiple Charfields?
lethal orbit
Django?
class BlogPost(models.Model):
title = models.CharField()
text = models.CharField()
Oh yes i mean in Django
And if I beforehand do not know how many Charfields i want
lethal orbit
SQL is schema-first, so you need to define your tables and fields before you insert data, i.e. add those fields.
If you want something dynamic, consider using a JSONField and storing the fields in there.
vestal hound
And if I beforehand do not know how many Charfields i want
@sullen basalt you can always make changes to your model later on
sullen basalt
I mean, the user should be able to click a button to get another field and I want all of the fields to be added to the database
But i do not understand how i should handle this with a Model
sullen basalt
soo perhaps?
class Example(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=255)
fields = JSONField()
Yup. You'll have to handle the input yourself though.
sullen basalt
So i can put the fields that the user adds all into JSONField
versed python
@sullen basalt you should actually define a second model which will store all the text fields that you want. this will enable you to have a variable number of CharFields associated with a model very easily.
class ExamplePerson(models.Model):
name = models.TextField()
class ExamplePersonPhoneNumber(models.Model):
example_person = models.ForeignKey(ExamplePerson, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
phone_number = models.TextField()
as you can see, you can associate as many phone numbers to a person as you like
I think this is the way django docs suggest too. Or maybe i just read a Stackoverflow answer saying it is. Either way this is the best solution imo.

#View
def edit_profile_screen_view(request):
if request.POST:
form = UpdateProfileForm(request.POST, request.FILES)
if form.is_valid():
form.save()
else:
profile = Profile.objects.get(user= request.user)
form = UpdateProfileForm()
context['form'] = form
return render(request, 'Profile/edit_profile.html', context)
#Form:
class UpdateProfileForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Profile
fields = ('link', 'description', 'picture')
#Model
class Profile(models.Model):

picture = models.ImageField(db_column='picture', upload_to=upload_location, null=True, blank=True)
description = models.TextField(db_column='description', default='', blank=True)
This gives me this error: NOT NULL constraint failed: Profile.user_id but I don't know how to fix it. Anyone know how?
versed python
@honest dock you're not really assigning a user to the profile object
to fix this, type these lines before form.save()
honest dock
@versed python yes, and it frustrates me that I don't know how. I tried form.user = request.user
versed python
instance = form.save (commit=False)
instance.user = request.user
instance.save()
and then delete the form.save() statement
versed python
form.user = request.user is wrong since the form is not the Profile, it doesn't have a user attribute associated with it
Can you explain it for me?
@honest dock yeah
honest dock
I see
versed python
line 1) form.save(commit=False) gives you the Profile object you are gonna save. commit=False prevents django from actually saving the object to database and thus error is raised
line2) the instance (which is actually a Profile object) gets the currently logged in user associated with its user attribute
line 3) object saved to database :D
honest dock
I see
I'll give a try right now, thank you!
It's working
But!
It hasn't updated the profile, instead, it created a new one
honest dock
Yes

frozen python
@versed python yes, but it’s Django, it’s cycling through my info and placing it in. It’s showing side by side with my different info. I have a picture, paragraph and name.

@frozen python as far as ik you need to add a card body class to the actual text contained inside the card

status = models.PositiveSmallIntegerField(

if you have a model like that, how can you add functionality for the user to create a new status to the choice list. one that doesnt exist already on the list. ie. a 4th status

@frozen python go to the bootstrap website, they have a good guide on cards along with images
@mental veldt should probably create a new model for that
lethal orbit
if you have a model like that, how can you add functionality for the user to create a new status to the choice list. one that doesnt exist already on the list. ie. a 4th status
@mental veldt you can't, really (AFAIK). Add anOtherstatus and accept an optionalother_reasontext field.
mental veldt
@mental veldt should probably create a new model for that
@versed python how??

@mental veldt you can't, really (AFAIK). Add an

@lethal orbit oh ok👍

@mental veldt no no it can be done
lethal orbit
I guess you could with another model and a relation.
And get the choices from the other table...
versed python
@lethal orbit yep, and should be pretty easy too
frozen python
@versed python I use Bootstrap all the time, just not with where the content is cycled through, so it’s just one card, that’s the template

class Book(models.Model):
# other stuff
book_status = models.ForeignKey(BookStatus, on_delete=models.SetNull)
@mental veldt
@frozen python still the html itself will be governed by bootstrap classes you use and you need to use a class to adjust the card image
mental veldt
class BookStatus(models.Model):
status = models.CharField()
class Book(models.Model):
# other stuff
book_status = models.ForeignKey(BookStatus, on_delete=models.SetNull)

Should I stick to django template system or integrate react ?
acoustic oyster
I have moved away from django templates and now use react. I highly recommend it, it allows for much more flexibility, and creates much more interesting stuff imo
I would personally not use templates for any very serious project nowadays simply because react makes things so much more interesting and offers functionality that is essential on many projects

U also use redux or is context api?

so in your current workspace create a folder called .vscode and a file inside tasks.json
then add the tasks you want to in that file
i sent you the website, just copy paste some default boilerplate code from there and you can extend it later @frozen python

Hello can someone help me figure out how to query this data so its useable? I have this section in a flask route
if g.user:
user_likes = g.user.likes
print(user_likes)
the print statement is returning something that looks like
[<GovMembers O000172>, <GovMembers C001093>, <GovMembers C001091>]
I need the last bit, in this case the C001093 id part only so I can use it in my jinja template. How can i return just the ids?
For reference my 'Likes' model only contains an id, user_id, and item_id which would be the id number I'm looking for

@frozen python django can easily handle a good looking static website but most websites today are dynamic. That's why all these frameworks like Vue and React are getting famous.

@frozen python yeah I find Vuejs difficult too but I am slowly learning
frozen python
@versed python vue has a bit of its “own” syntax. React uses more typical vanilla JS syntax. I prefer React vs Vue, but vue does have nice corner cutters
versed python
@frozen python from what I have read from their docs, vuejs is supposed to have an easier learning curve than React
frozen python
@versed python yes, but I do prefer React because it has more support and add ons to use. I like Vue, but I think React has a more stable base
versed python
and a larger user base too. the industry prefers React due to its maturity. I understand where you are coming from. @frozen python

@versed python I like Vue tho, because once you get the hange of the “new” syntax, it’s nice. But there are things like Famer Motion and Styled Components I like with React, vue dosnt have

@near forge No it is not invasion. Just the app helps a user to multiply subscribers.
But for that I should check if user is watched and liked the video we give or subscribed to the channel we gave its link. Then if I know the user subscribes to a channel which we give, we give user some coins. For that coins they can buy subscribers.
I read but there is no way to do that.

swift sky
how would I embed a variable that is a dictionary, from one .py file, into an html file
I'm doing a flask app
just trying to do a table essentially
errant spear
@swift sky Are you using flask templates?
errant spear
So you would need to pass the dictionary to the template in order to display it on the HTML file which can be achieved with
return render_template('template.html', dict_to_be_passed = dictName_in_py)
then in the template.html you can do
<h3>DICTIONARY: {{ dict_to_be_passed }}<h3>
and to display separate fields
<h3>DICTIONARY FIELD: {{ dict_to_be_passed['field_name'] }}<h3>
@swift sky
Does that make sense?
swift sky
so i would need to make a separate template for the actual table file
errant spear
No you can work with the template you currently have
swift sky
ahh
errant spear
Lets say you currently have
return render_template('index.html')
and index.html looks like
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Document</title>
</head>
<body>
This is my HomePage
</body>
</html>
Then you can change it to
return render_template('index.html', dict = dict_in_py)
and index.html to
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Document</title>
</head>
<body>
This is my HomePage
{{ dict }}
</body>
</html>
Does that makes sense?
Basically you are passing an argument to a function
and accessing that argument in the template
swift sky
yes thank you
your guidance helped me see that i actually need to edit some code before i even work on importing
the scope of the dict im trying to import isn't set correctly, and I need to edit something else as well

Hello hello

But uh... I know that a lot of times with Discord bots in python, there are situations where you cant do things traditionally apparently, like unit tests. And I believe the way people handle that is by separating their logic from the command structure. Im not sure if that would help you here...
But maybe you could use Flask without threading, which you are using in the bot, but not in Flask? Not sure about that one. Ive never written multiprocessing code at all tbh

d.py is pretty much the only safe one other than doing it raw yourself
the others ive seen are well, spammy in places
strong oriole
wdym?
quick cargo
some of them take lists of webhooks then just flood discord with webhook posts
which will get your ip ratelimited and probably banned for a bit
its fine if youre only sending like 1 or 2
strong oriole
o.0 , yea i used discordWebhook or something liek that lemme check fo embed generator
quick cargo
but i wouldnt use those sorts of things for multiple webhooks because you'll get hit by ratelimits hard if youre not carful
native tide
Very quickly actually. I havent tried it in
strong oriole
and didnt have problems with it yet
native tide
Discord but other services I have seen it be a thing
quick cargo
I doubt you will until you send lots
Btw if you're uploading files the ratelimit is much lower than 50/s globally
cloudflare will get you before discord does when uploading files
strong oriole
i mean , my progam is universal , u need to give it your webhook and nobody else can use it because its stored localy and its overwrited everytime u upload new webhook link , if u want to check code its here https://github.com/micho44/EmbedGenerator
quick cargo
that should be fine
strong oriole
its not uploading webhooks anywhere other than local stored json
it just uses it to send the embed
for flask html is needed for input fields and buttons right? first time working with web dev
quick cargo
pretty much
honestly you could just do a form
and submit that sends a POST request with the form
would be the easiest
strong oriole
that doesnt tell me to much :/ like i use requests.post function? or what?
it my first time working in these regions , i only woked with local GUI apps

no i mean litterally the HTML forms system
you can also use https://flask.palletsprojects.com/en/1.1.x/patterns/wtforms/ to generate it for you

I’m supposedly supposed to make a secret key for Flask but where do I hide it, so that it does not show up in my code?
@noble star it's fine for it to be in your code
as long as your code is not public.

@frozen python you didn't use.create_user
right?
you used User.objects.create or something
frozen python
@vestal hound I did “create super user” but I went in and clicked on “create user” and I created one, but it didn’t let me log in.
@vestal hound my super user works fine
vestal hound
okay, go back
you created your user
using the admin panel GUI?
not programmatically?
frozen python
@vestal hound correct. I just created it in Super User.... logged out and tried to log in as that new user.... didn’t work

So, if anyone would look at my Django project structure... https://paste.pythondiscord.com/oberolipow.rb
I'm not sure how to go about having common modules. You'll notice that Ive put utils.py and constants.py at the root, which is well outside of project and the apps within it.
I'm having trouble reaching out from one app where I need code from another. For instances, from */users back out to another app. So the way ive done it is just to throw common modules at root and use the entire project as module for importing
in ts_backend/users/views.py:
from ts_backend.users.models import User
from utils import get_context
This was working for a awhile... but I did some refactoring and some time passed...
And now when I run
$ pwd
/home/shaen/PycharmProjects/term-story-back
$ python ts_backend/manage.py runserver
Im getting error :
...
File "/home/shaen/PycharmProjects/term-story-back/ts_backend/users/urls.py", line 3, in <module>
from . import views
File "/home/shaen/PycharmProjects/term-story-back/ts_backend/users/views.py", line 3, in <module>
from ts_backend.users.models import User
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'ts_backend'
I just added an __init__.py that wasnt there before and it didnt help. It was working last week
https://github.com/shanerowden/term-story-back/ -- it might be easier to see the project structure like this. Bleh, im almost certain its a dumb error i will see instantly when i wake up tomorrow so ill just break
If I just enter a console and type import ts_backend it does it. But from the ./ts_backend/users/views.py or any other file at that depth, it doesnt believe that it is.
from .models import User instead of from ts_backend.users.models import User worked, but now... its utils that isnt a module.
TLDR, how do you have a common app in django for utils?
I figured it out , carry on https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3295268/where-should-utility-functions-live-in-django#3295933
versed python
@native tide i usually create a new app called utils and put things like common permissions, paginators and mixins in that app
native tide
yeah, I moved those files to very root because at the time I hadnt figured out yet why I was having trouble importing a single utils.py file from outside the apps and I was trying and failing to do relative imports.
Now I have read a lot more about different project structures and Im just trying to tweak it to be a lot better than what it is.
What i was trying to do right now is have a single apps.py file in the project rather than in the apps. But it occured to me half way through getting it there that this makes my apps not modular.
So Im setting it back 😛
it should be app.py though, which I would change if not for convetion, since it will only ever have one class.

Is there anyother way to change an objects value, that uses strings as an identifier ?
Instead of object.field1 = 0 something like object['field1'] = 0 ?

hello, so i was starting off learning flask. I created my first flask file with just a '\' directory and created a sample html file to render, but i am getting a jinja2.exceptions.TemplateNotFound error. They are both placed in the same folder and i am not very sure on how to fix it. I read something about putting it in a templates folder but couldnt quite follow. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated

sqlite3.IntegrityError: NOT NULL constraint failed: accounts_user.views
somebody help me understand what this error implies in django

okay so i got rid of my render template thingy in my python file, but im still getting the same error, which is extremely strange
considering im not even calling a HTML file anymore, its giving me a "jinja2.exceptions.TemplateNotFound: test.html" still, despite me not calling test.html
oh i think i got it
lemme just check

alright i finally figured it out, like a tool i had another flask app running simultaneously

@versed python How are you so good with Django?? Its like you know everything
umbral echo
anyone know what is the use of methods of model field of django
from_db_value() and to_python().
@stable kite
You can use them to convert values.
From DB to python object : from_db_value() and to_python() will be from user input value to python object, this method is also called in the clean() method used to validate forms.
You can find more info in Django doc :
from_db_value() : https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.1/ref/models/fields/#django.db.models.Field.from_db_value
to_python() : https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.1/ref/models/fields/#django.db.models.Field.to_python
Converting values to Python objects : https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.1/howto/custom-model-fields/#converting-values-to-python-objects

i spent a lot of time wracking my brain over it, and have encountered most of the problems that get asked here myself. back then i wasn't on Discord so I had to do hours of research before I found out a solution, so maybe that's the reason?

nimble epoch
@native tide whats wrong with your models?
mental veldt
@versed python Which one would you recommend using when creating a custom user?? Either AbstractUser or AbstractBaseUser? I have read articles that warn a lot against the use of AbstractBaseUser
acoustic oyster
I usually use AbstractUser, AbstractBaseUser is only really for a super high level of control and customization, from what i understand. Ive never actually needed to use AbstractBaseUser though
versed python
they're right, this is what I do too
mental veldt
@acoustic oyster @versed python I was trying AbstractBase user and I have found myself in a big mess.
maybe I should take that route
versed python
as @acoustic oyster said, you should only go with AbstractBaseUser when you know what you are doing
AbstractUser is more than enough for most projects
acoustic oyster
Haha, I did the same. You could maybe inherit from abstract user? Lol.
I ended up hard coding a lot of things that I needed because we accidentally used baseuser
mental veldt
I also have this project where I want to have like a number of views counter which increments everytime someone views a profile. what would be the best approach?
versed python
implement this on the view level maybe? are you using rest_framework?
mental veldt
@native tide am using rest_framewor
I added a views field on the models as an IntergerField then i was thinking I would have a function in the views module. but what I want is to detect that someone has actually viewed the profile.... I have no idea how to do that
versed python
can you send the view logic itself.? if you use class based views, maybe you can override the get method and increment the view attribute? @mental veldt
mental veldt
I dont have the logic. I deleted what I was trying. but I think it had
def views_counter(self, request):
views = 0
if (someone visits the profile):
views =+1
retrun views
versed python
nope, use rest_framework.views.RetrieveUpdateView for this and override the get method. Your code will be much smaller this way.
mental veldt
RetrieveUpdateView works for both get and put methods right?
versed python
yeah and also PATCH i think
mental veldt
Isnt PATCH the same as PUT?
vestal hound
Isnt PATCH the same as PUT?
@mental veldt PUT is for full updates
PATCH is for partial updates
basically.

Hey Guys
I currently using Django with the Rest-Framework + Django Filter. Im happy so far but i ran into a problem:
How can i filter my model with an "or" condition instead of "and"?
Exp:
url.com?param1=abc¶m2=bca
in the current situation i only get the results back when both conditions are true
but i want an "or" condition. So if any of the fields match -> return
lethal orbit
@broken briar use a Q object: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.1/topics/db/queries/#complex-lookups-with-q-objects

I know about the Q Object, but can i somehow get this into this structure i currently have
class myFilter(FilerSet):
field1 = filters.Filter(field_name='field1, lookup_expr='icontains)
field2 = filters.Filter(field_name='field2, lookup_expr='icontains)
class Meta:
model = myModel
fields = ['field1', 'field2']
class Viewset(Modelviewset):
queryset = myModel.objects.all()
serializer_class = ...
filter_backends(django_filters.rest_framework.DjangoFilterBackend)
filterset_class = myFilter
``` @lethal orbitIf you have time to look at my Django models, they're pretty simple. I keep getting django.db.utils.ProgrammingError: relation "users_playeraccount" does not exist.
I've reset the db, dropped the tables and the entire database multiple times, created it again, so i think it has to do with that models file unless Im failing to remove everything I need to remove to start over in postgres.
Originally this problem was a "are you sure you want to change this name" and then fails. Now its just that error.

guys should I handle notifications in the frontend in the backend or frontend?
meaning do I create the notification data in the frontend and thyen send it to the backend to save in a model, or create the notification in the backend and send it to the frontend?
lethal orbit
What is the notification for?
versed python
for example "your Post was created and published successfully" @lethal orbit
ideally I should do the logic handling in the backend right
lethal orbit
Depends...
If you are pushing from the client to the server, you can save it in indexeddb as pending....
versed python
whats indexddb? I am using Vuejs
lethal orbit
Then send the request to the back-end. When the promise resolves, you sent a client-side notification.
versed python
https://github.com/Maronato/vue-toastification I will probably be using this to display notifications
lethal orbit
Indexeddb is optional.
broken briar
Can implement a Q Object into this code?
class myFilter(FilerSet):
field1 = filters.Filter(field_name='field1, lookup_expr='icontains)
field2 = filters.Filter(field_name='field2, lookup_expr='icontains)
class Meta:
model = myModel
fields = ['field1', 'field2']
class Viewset(Modelviewset):
queryset = myModel.objects.all()
serializer_class = ...
filter_backends(django_filters.rest_framework.DjangoFilterBackend)
filterset_class = myFilter
Then send the request to the back-end. When the promise resolves, you sent a client-side notification.
@lethal orbit yeah this is what I was thinking too
lethal orbit
What modern sites do...
They store data in indexeddb (which is just a client side DB). If it fails, you give the user an option to retry.
versed python
is it some kind of localStorage?
lethal orbit
But yeah, if you send requests from the client to server, don't store notifications on the back-end. Send the request in a promise, and when it succeeds, then() notify the user on the client.
Yes and no. A more proper DB.
You could use LocalStorage too (or not store it at all).
versed python
But yeah, if you send requests from the client to server, don't store notifications on the back-end. Send the request in a promise, and when it succeeds,
then()notify the user on the client.
@lethal orbit but what if I have aNotificationmodel for storing them? I actually want to store them
lethal orbit
You really only need to store notification on the server for server events...
User A pushes a message to User B on the back-end... the server notifies User B that they have a new message
For upload succeeded, I wouldn't bother, tbh
versed python
so you are saying I shouldn't store "Your post was saved and published successfully" in my django backend database?
@lethal orbit
versed python
Well then should I delete the Notification model altogether?
lethal orbit
If it's just for client events, I would say probably, yeah :p
versed python
so what would you use a Notification model for then?
lethal orbit
As I said, if the server sends notifications from another source, it makes sense to have one.
"A new movie you might like has been added"
User foo sent you a $5 virtual gift.
Those require some action from the server.
User sending stuff to the server is a client-server interaction, not server-client.
versed python
alright, so from what I see, I should probably keep the model but not use it for useless stuff like 'Your post was saved and published successfully'
and just display it on the client side and not bother sending it to the backend right?
lethal orbit
Yup
If you don't have server events to notify the user about, you can delete the model. No need to delete it now, though. Take some time and see whether there is a use case for it.
versed python
yeah as of now I will keep it as it is. Thanks @lethal orbit you helped a lot
weary dragon
Can i use asyncio in a flask app to wait for a db query? or that's not a case?
native tide
assuming the folder structure is fine and the app is in installed apps, there is a {% load static %} tag you have to add in the template for it to successfully work
twilit dagger
It's not giving me any error, I'm doing <script src="{% static 'home\home.js' %}"></script>
And this is the JS ```// When the user scrolls the page, execute myFunction
window.onscroll = function() {myFunction()};
// Get the navbar
var navbar = document.getElementById("navbar");
// Get the offset position of the navbar
var sticky = navbar.offsetTop;
// Add the sticky class to the navbar when you reach its scroll position. Remove "sticky" when you leave the scroll position
function myFunction() {
if (window.pageYOffset >= sticky) {
navbar.classList.add("sticky")
} else {
navbar.classList.remove("sticky");
}
}```
native tide
gotcha. if its not loading then someone else will have to help, I'm still pretty new with js myself. sry I can't help
the fact it loaded though indicates everything w/ django is fine
lethal orbit
It's not giving me any error, I'm doing
<script src="{% static 'home\home.js' %}"></script>
@twilit dagger why are you using a\?
This might not be the problem, but they should always be forward slashes (/)...
twilit dagger
@lethal orbit Sorry that was a mistake, I was also doing {% static 'home\main.css' %} like that

thanks for your help @errant spear though i am not getting an internal server error
errant spear
You are not getting an internal server error?
swift sky
I am now*
errant spear
Ok can you give me some more information on the error
What is the exact error you are getting? What are you trying to do when you get this error? What do you expect to happen instead?
swift sky
The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request. Either the server is overloaded or there is an error in the application.```so basically i have 1 script that makes a request for a stiemap in xml format, it then parses that xml into a dictionary of urls that have been updated in the last 3 days
it then stores that dicitonary into a variable
which i am then importing into my flask routes
errant spear
Ok so it seems like there is some sort of error in the code that is displaying this page
swift sky
well
the error i posted is the message output I got when visiting the flask route
i am wondering if the dictionary variable actually contains a dictionary
errant spear
So when you run a flask app in the command line you have to run the app.py file
Are you familiar with that?
swift sky
yes
you know what though
my parse script
has a if __name__ == "__main__": main()
and so does my run.py
errant spear
ok well whichever one you are running in the command line where it is being run there should be more information on the error and why the page isnt displaying
swift sky
one second

Ok cool
