except my limitation on the number of related objects is dynamic

#

I asked in #databases and the conclusion was that it would need an (SQL) function

okay, thanks for your help

I'll wait around for a few more opinions though

#

class Post(models.Model):
    text = models.TextField()

class PostImage(models.Model):
    image = models.ImageField(upload_to='images')
    post = models.ForeignKey(Post, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
How can I put a constraint in place so that only 3 PostImage objects can be related to a single Postobject?
@versed python can someone else give their preferred way to accomplish this?

does anyone send emails asynchronously with Django

@vestal hound sending actual emails with django?

vestal hound Sep 14, 2020, 12:57 AM

#

the point isn't to send emails

#

it's to send them asynchronously

I realised Celery doesn't actually have support for async tasks

and I don't want to block

is there a way to define the model and use it here in specific template this my first time using detail views,i have my model already set up and imported and everything now i want to iterate but i need to define model to use it in template

📎 unknown.png

#

i need to define it in here since template is there

📎 unknown.png

#

views ^

versed python Sep 14, 2020, 1:59 AM

#

@frozen spear you can access your instance inside the template using {{object}}

frozen spear Sep 14, 2020, 2:01 AM

#

@versed python hm?

versed python Sep 14, 2020, 2:04 AM

#

you need to explain your problem a bit better than that

@versed python hm?
@frozen spear

frozen spear Sep 14, 2020, 2:05 AM

so this is what i have in the template
which are some model objects

📎 SPOILER_unknown.png

#

models vvv

📎 unknown.png

#

spoiler by accident

#

so

#

i want these vars

#

to display

#

in the template

versed python Sep 14, 2020, 2:06 AM

#

you don't need a for loop

#

simply type {{object.text}}

frozen spear Sep 14, 2020, 2:06 AM

#

but to iterate

#

so like once u submit an

#

entry

#

its gonna display it

versed python Sep 14, 2020, 2:08 AM

#

simply type {{object.text}}
@versed python just type this

frozen spear Sep 14, 2020, 2:16 AM

#

@versed python still the same D:

#

prob cuz not defined in the detail view

versed python Sep 14, 2020, 2:18 AM

#

@frozen spear you need to learn the basics of DetailView. Look at the django docs

frozen spear Sep 14, 2020, 2:18 AM

#

alrighty

#

@versed python

📎 unknown.png

#

:D

#

omg nooo

#

an error

versed python Sep 14, 2020, 2:27 AM

#

you have written a lot of useless code

#

and the get_context_data method doesn't even do anything in your case

#

do this:

#

replace getpk with get_object

#

remove get_context_data

#

and replace for loop in your html, and write {{object.text}} etc

#

@frozen spear

frozen spear Sep 14, 2020, 2:32 AM

📎 unknown.png

versed python Sep 14, 2020, 2:57 AM

#

Jesus

#

Look DetailView doesn't inject a queryset into your template. It injects a single object (thats why it is called DetailView duhh). By convention you can access the injected object in the html file by {{object}}. @frozen spear

Hello, could someone please help me with a XML/XSL problem:

#

Sample XML data:

<superbowl>
  <games>
    <No.>I</No.>
    <Date>Jan. 15, 1967</Date>
    <Location>Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum</Location>
    <Winner>Green Bay</Winner>
    <Result>Green Bay 35, Kansas City 10</Result>
  </games>

#

I want to use XSL to select and show only the Superbowl Winner Teams who won after the 1960's

#

The problem is that the date is in Mon. DD, YYYY format: Jan. 15, 1967
And I need to sort by year.

#

I think I have to break down the date format into variables and then sort by the variable which contains YYYY

#

But I don't know how.

#

Or use regex to select 4 digits, store it in a variable and then sort

abstract rover Sep 14, 2020, 3:35 AM

#

Here is my solution:

<table border="1">
  <tr>
    <th colspan="2">Superbowl Winners after 1960</th>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <th>Winner</th>
     <th>Date</th>
  </tr>
  <xsl:for-each select="superbowl/games">
    <xsl:variable name="year" select='matches("\d\d\d\d")'/>
    <xsl:sort select="year" data-type="number" order="ascending"/>
    <xsl:if test="year &gt; 1960">
    <tr>
      <td id="Winner"><xsl:value-of select="Winner"/></td>
      <td id="Date"><xsl:value-of select="Date"/></td>

i want sum of column where student = xyz

in django admin

All parameters of the user request are created in "QueryDict" object.

do you number of students? @frosty bluff

is Student a model?

Why are all the parameters of QueryDict listed?

frosty bluff Sep 14, 2020, 6:49 AM

#

ya

marsh canyon Sep 14, 2020, 6:50 AM

#

you can do Student.objects.Count() to get number of students

#

you can tweak the admin pannel to include this too

#

Why are all the parameters of QueryDict listed?
@desert lake i didn't quite understand your question

no i want to sum column values of another model and display right next to each student name

desert lake Sep 14, 2020, 6:54 AM

#

sorry.

#

The parameter of url becomes QueryDict.

ex: http://url?a=1&b=2.
-> QueryDict(a=[1], b=[2])

Why is a single variable to QueryDict in "list"?

Isn't a single variable more efficient?

#

I dug into the source code and found that QuerySet inherits from MultiValueDict @desert lake

#

#

so i guess that explains it, it kinda expects multiple values for the same key

desert lake Sep 14, 2020, 7:21 AM

@marsh canyon I thought so, too. Thank you so much!!

marsh canyon Sep 14, 2020, 7:21 AM

#

also, another reason is consistancy i guess

#

example, you never know if ur geting 1 value or multiple values, and if u have mixture of lists and strings in the request object, then u will have to check each time

I am trying to use this info in my jinja template, but my code below is only printing the first bill_id and title of each dictionary. This list contains 4 total dictionaries. I would like all the bill_id and title from each of the 4 dictionaries, but have no idea how to access them or loop through.

{% for record in members_data %}
    <div class="row justify-content-center mt-3">

@native tide Im getting the correct info, but I'm not looping through this object correctly. My guess is the results[0] line.

native tide Sep 14, 2020, 8:22 AM

#

@zealous cloud I see. I think that's a simpler problem then. You need a nested for loop then. first loop handles members. Second loop handles bills for each member

#

well, it is a problem with Database

#

id isn't startwith correct one

#

that is 10000000000

#

instead it startswith 1

#

which I don't want

zealous cloud Sep 14, 2020, 8:24 AM

#

@native tide Oh i hadn't considered a nested loop. Can I handle that in my jinja template as well?

#

I guess I didnt consider this because I was getting back the correct info, but only the first item of each of the 4 dictionaries, so I thought it must've been some other error on my part

versed python Sep 14, 2020, 8:26 AM

#

@native tide if your model defines an autoincrement then you cant start from 100000

native tide Sep 14, 2020, 8:26 AM

#

well, I think so

#

but if I put autoincrement=False

#

then it don't even increment

#

@zealous cloud Yes. Please look at the end of this page: https://jinja.palletsprojects.com/en/2.11.x/tricks/

#

id = db.Column(BIGINT, db.Sequence('oauth2_code_id_seq', start=10000000, increment=1), autoincrement=False, primary_key=True)

it didn't even made the sequence if I put autoincrement=False

#

no it runs absolutely fone

#

fine

#

but i dont get any thing on my page

zealous cloud Sep 14, 2020, 8:57 AM

#

oh is your app = Flask(name_) line supposed to be called flaskblog?

#

I think it might be looking for something called app

#

but doesn't look like you have that

winter spindle Sep 14, 2020, 8:57 AM

#

wait lemme explain

#

its like

#

the problem is in redering templates

native tide Sep 14, 2020, 8:58 AM

#

@versed python invite??

winter spindle Sep 14, 2020, 8:58 AM

#

cuz if instead of rendereing templates i do return

#

it shows up fine

native tide Sep 14, 2020, 8:59 AM

zealous cloud Sep 14, 2020, 9:00 AM

Do you need that last line that says if name_ = main? Try to comment that out for now and then add this route

@app,route('/)
def get_home():
    return render_template('home.html')

if you're starting flask from your command line just copy the url that pops up under running on, make sure the environment is set to development. Let me know what that shows.

winter spindle Sep 14, 2020, 9:09 AM

wait i ll try

zinc hill Sep 14, 2020, 10:01 AM

#

My template is using deleted static css.file and im so confuse

#

I made a base.html which use the style.css static file (resturant/static/resturant/style.css)
but when I delete that static folder, the html is still using it.....

#

but if i delete

    <link
      rel="stylesheet"
      type="text/css"
      href="{% static 'resturant/style.css' %}"
    />
``` it breaks

#

anyone have any ideas why?

#

omg its mb its ctrl+f5 to bypass the cache....

acoustic oyster Sep 14, 2020, 12:13 PM

You can also do shift+refresh button to refresh the cache on many browsers

astral musk Sep 14, 2020, 1:13 PM

hey guys, sorry for nubby question about Django, but cant realize what is wrong, trying follow by official mozilla documentation but getting error on step database makemigrations

django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: The included URLconf '<module 'catalog.urls' from 'M:\\Site\\catalog\\urls.py'>' does not appear to have any patterns in it. If you see valid patterns in the file then the issue is probably caused by a circular import.```

thanks so much!

astral musk Sep 14, 2020, 1:39 PM

#

what would you call an input field that acts like a search field that lets you look up entries that can be selected as input values for that field?

#

like for example when you tag someone on twitter, you write @cosmic drum and the user shows up

marsh canyon Sep 14, 2020, 1:40 PM

#

I would pick a charfield

astral musk Sep 14, 2020, 1:41 PM

#

this is a django field?

marsh canyon Sep 14, 2020, 1:41 PM

#

that can be selected as input values for that field?
by this, you mean choices?

astral musk Sep 14, 2020, 1:41 PM

#

yeah, choices

marsh canyon Sep 14, 2020, 1:41 PM

#

ur working with django?

astral musk Sep 14, 2020, 1:41 PM

#

no, flask

marsh canyon Sep 14, 2020, 1:41 PM

#

okay shouldn't be much different

astral musk Sep 14, 2020, 1:41 PM

#

I just looked up charfield and got a lot of django results

marsh canyon Sep 14, 2020, 1:42 PM

#

u will need javascript if you want names to pop up while searching

astral musk Sep 14, 2020, 1:42 PM

#

yeah figure as much

marsh canyon Sep 14, 2020, 1:42 PM

#

so you will need an endpoint that will return a list of similar name

astral musk Sep 14, 2020, 1:42 PM

#

what I'm after is to create an input field where you search for names, have the names pop up, select some names and send those as a list or whatever

marsh canyon Sep 14, 2020, 1:43 PM

#

so the input field, can be just text tho, nothing related to django/flask on the field

#

okay so you want to select multiple users

astral musk Sep 14, 2020, 1:44 PM

#

I'd basically need the javascript to be able to tap into my database and display their names in the field but send their id tags as values

#

I'm just looking for terms to google

zinc hill Sep 14, 2020, 1:44 PM

#

autocomplete search

marsh canyon Sep 14, 2020, 1:44 PM

#

-> search field(input text field in html)
-> User types in search field
-> javascript checks for event and sends a GET request to get similar names to the user input```

vague ibex Sep 14, 2020, 1:44 PM

#

its just basically a check in the database, adding the suggest words from database to array and applying a method to it so that the suggestion thing comes up

#

if you're having a database

marsh canyon Sep 14, 2020, 1:45 PM

#

u dont want to check the database directly from javascript, have an endpoint in ur flaskapp that does that

astral musk Sep 14, 2020, 1:45 PM

#

guess I could look into making an api for it

marsh canyon Sep 14, 2020, 1:45 PM

#

yes

#

https://flask-restful.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

versed python Sep 14, 2020, 1:46 PM

#

making an api would be overkill, just return the data in json format

astral musk Sep 14, 2020, 1:46 PM

#

good starting point, thanks

Hey guys how can I pass data from the backend to a React frontend? Will Jinja2 still work (I don't think so)

astral musk Sep 14, 2020, 2:14 PM

#

this might help https://blog.miguelgrinberg.com/post/how-to-create-a-react--flask-project

How To Create a React + Flask Project

One of the questions I get asked more often lately is how to create a project that combines a React frontend with a Flask backend. Instead of giving vague answers I decided to write a tutorial about…

marsh canyon Sep 14, 2020, 2:15 PM

#

@native tide when you plan on using a front end framework, like react, you will want to fetch data from a server via a rest API (in ur case, its flask), jinja2 will only work if you render templates using flask.
But as you plan on using react, you will need to send HTTP requests to ur flask server to get the data, process it and the display it. In this process, you are not rendering template using flask instead, react is doing the template stuff, so jinja2 will not work here.

native tide Sep 14, 2020, 2:18 PM

I want to create a new instance of Layout using Layout.objects.create(image='?'). However I can't really figure out what to put in place of the ?. Do I put the file path? Or the file.read()?

This is django

@burnt night looks about right to me, lacking label though
here's mine:

<div class="form-group">
    {{ form.confirm_password.label(class="form-control-label") }}
    {% if form.confirm_password.errors %}
        {{ form.confirm_password(class="form-control form-control-lg is-invalid") }}

        </div>
    {% else %}
        {{ form.confirm_password(class="form-control form-control-lg") }}
    {% endif %}
</div>

burnt night Sep 14, 2020, 2:25 PM

label was right above it, so my bad

#

Oh, was it just because i was missing the is-invalid class?

#

Yay, it's working now... thx

astral musk Sep 14, 2020, 2:26 PM

thats what would make it look red if you type in something wrong

burnt night Sep 14, 2020, 2:26 PM

#

i wasn't getting anything at all until i added it in 🤷‍♂️

#

i don't understand...

#

password = PasswordField("Password",
    validators=[DataRequired(), Length(min=5)])
    confirm_password = PasswordField("Confirm Password",
    validators=[DataRequired(), Length(min=5), EqualTo(password)])```
I have this

#

but for some reason, i'm getting this :/

📎 unknown.png

#

Where did i do something wrong?

jagged lark Sep 14, 2020, 2:31 PM

#

Look at how you defined your field password

#

You used quite a few variables to define it, including password itself

#

But, that’s impossible, because you use password to define password

burnt night Sep 14, 2020, 2:32 PM

#

😕

#

I don't understand...

astral musk Sep 14, 2020, 2:33 PM

#

looks like he used password in confirm_password

#

should be fine

#

do you have a longer traceback?

native tide Sep 14, 2020, 2:33 PM

#

in flask i have a navigation bar that lets the user switch between multiple html pages. the contents of the html pages are dynamic and i currently have the problem that when html page 2 wants to redirect to html page 1 there will be an 400 bad request error because the dynamic content that is supposed to be displayed in html page 1 is not known by html page 2. html page 1 only knows what to display because at the start of the execution there is a python script that passes these values as parameters to the html page. but the other html pages dont know these parameters so is there any way to make a html page "remember" the dynamic contents it is supposed to be displaying?

astral musk Sep 14, 2020, 2:33 PM

#

or anything from debug mode

burnt night Sep 14, 2020, 2:34 PM

#

No :(
Debug mode errors will be shown in console?

#

i don't see the debug file so i assume it wasn't created

astral musk Sep 14, 2020, 2:34 PM

#

debug mode would just display the traceback in your browser

burnt night Sep 14, 2020, 2:34 PM

#

all i'm seeing is

Invalid field name '<UnboundField(PasswordField, ('Password',), {'validators': [<wtforms.validators.DataRequired object at 0x03985BF8>, <wtforms.validators.Length object at 0x03985C10>]})>'.```

#

i'll check now

#

or so i said... but where would it show?
I thought there was a debug tab in inspect element

astral musk Sep 14, 2020, 2:36 PM

#

when you run the app, set debug=True
I do it like this

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run(debug=True)

burnt night Sep 14, 2020, 2:37 PM

#

yea i have that

astral musk Sep 14, 2020, 2:38 PM

#

oh

swift sky Sep 14, 2020, 2:38 PM

#

lets say I had a for loop in jinja which listed some parsed urls and their date

astral musk Sep 14, 2020, 2:38 PM

#

in confirm_password you have it set to EqualTo(password)

swift sky Sep 14, 2020, 2:38 PM

#

how would I actually change those urls to actual links

astral musk Sep 14, 2020, 2:38 PM

#

you want EqualTo('password')

burnt night Sep 14, 2020, 2:38 PM

#

guess thats what @jagged lark meant

url_for()

swift sky Sep 14, 2020, 2:41 PM

yeah but

that wont work in this scenario?

#

because basically those urls are loaded and parsed every 2 hours

burnt night Sep 14, 2020, 2:41 PM

what are the 2 closing braces for?

swift sky Sep 14, 2020, 2:41 PM

#

so it'll always change

astral musk Sep 14, 2020, 2:42 PM

#

no routes for those urls to use?

swift sky Sep 14, 2020, 2:42 PM

#

yeah it's an external link

#

not something I want to store locally

#

I think I could just make them an href somehow?

astral musk Sep 14, 2020, 2:42 PM

#

and they change every 2 hours?

swift sky Sep 14, 2020, 2:42 PM

#

yeah, basically my script loads a sitemap and parses it for pages htat have been updated within the last 3 days

#

and it does that every 2 hours

#

it then takes that content and places it in a page, within my flask app

astral musk Sep 14, 2020, 2:43 PM

#

I'd send those urls as arguments through the route that generates the template then

swift sky Sep 14, 2020, 2:43 PM

#

so i have it as a kwarg

astral musk Sep 14, 2020, 2:43 PM

yea

urls=urls 😄

#

    @login_required
    def knowledge_articles():
        return render_template("knowledge_articles.xhtml", dict_to_be_passed=urls_311)```

#

dict to be passed is the dictionary containing the urls and time of last modification

astral musk Sep 14, 2020, 2:45 PM

#

guess you can iterate through that dict?

@swift sky @astral musk this is the iterating of the urls

astral musk Sep 14, 2020, 2:47 PM

surround them with a tags

but then also the dates shouldnt be links

they should jsut be dates

    <p> these are the new articles for today </p>
    <h3>

testing

#

ok well

that did something

it basically turned the dates into urls

yeah youre iterating through a dictionary in a template file, might wanna look up how thats done

swift sky Sep 14, 2020, 2:52 PM

#

well the dates navigate to the right url

#

so that's kinda good

astral musk Sep 14, 2020, 2:53 PM

#

you could cheat and pass two lists that you know are in the same order instead of the dict

#

just turn the dict into two lists in your route

swift sky Sep 14, 2020, 2:54 PM

#

I'll see

#

is there a way that I can narrow this out, should I do this in CSS?

#

I don't like the formatting

#

like each entry should be its own line

astral musk Sep 14, 2020, 2:55 PM

#

add a <br/> behind the </a>

#

could also wrap the <a> in a <div> and give that a nice style

#

if you want to cheat you could just throw bootstrap at it

#

explained how to here: https://blog.miguelgrinberg.com/post/the-flask-mega-tutorial-part-xi-facelift

swift sky Sep 14, 2020, 2:57 PM

#

so im working with a friend

#

I put him in charge of a lot of the front end stuff

#

my main problem was the urls not being clickable

#

so thank you!

astral musk Sep 14, 2020, 2:57 PM

#

fair enough, just wrap it in a <div> and give it a class so he has something to work with

swift sky Sep 14, 2020, 2:59 PM

#

add a <br/> behind the </a>
@astral musk should there also be a <br>

#

and by behind the </a> your mean <br/></a>

astral musk Sep 14, 2020, 3:00 PM

#

no, those are unique, they just turn into a line shift. But if you wrap it in a div you don't need the <br/> at the end

#

no

swift sky Sep 14, 2020, 3:00 PM

#

i wrapped it in a div

astral musk Sep 14, 2020, 3:00 PM

#

behind 😛

swift sky Sep 14, 2020, 3:01 PM

#

i did wrap it in a div

#

    <p> these are the new articles for today </p>
    <div class="urls">
    <h3>
        {% for url in dict_to_be_passed %}
        <a class="updated_urls" href="{{ url }}">
            {{ url }}
        {{ dict_to_be_passed[url] }}</a>
        {% endfor %}
      </h3>
    </div>```

astral musk Sep 14, 2020, 3:01 PM

#

the div should take care of it once your friend styles it

#

but I guess the <br/> wont do too much damage

#

oh you wrapped the entire loop there in a div btw, that will make one div box that surrounds all your links. What you want is to surround <a> ... </a> with a div

#

<h1> Welcome to the Knowledge Articles page </h1>
 <p> these are the new articles for today </p>
  <div class="urls">
    <h3>
        {% for k, v in dict_to_be_passed.items() %}
        <div class="urls">
          <a class="updated_urls" href="{{ dict_to_be_passed[k] }}"> {{ v }} </a>
        </div>
        {% endfor %}
    </h3>
  </div>

#

swift sky Sep 14, 2020, 3:54 PM

thanks @astral musk with that configuration it just shows the date which is the v

#

but I actually need both the url to show and the date

adding a ,

@swift sky you're probably better off serving them with nginx

swift sky Sep 14, 2020, 6:43 PM

#

but then how do I test if it works localllyyyy

#

halp

#

how would that even be accomplished though

#

like instead of the file path from my local host, i store it on the server and nginx does what with it?

#

do I just change the path in my flask app, to where it would be stored on the server? I'm confused

lethal orbit Sep 14, 2020, 6:49 PM

#

Normally, you would store those in e.g. /media on your server and configure nginx to serve those directly, and route the rest to your wsgi server

can i check foreign key in template language

if a giveaway have a foreign key entries its gonna display the entries

@lethal orbit if you still have time, could you tell me if the send_from_directory function from flask has any significant disadvantages compared to a direct delivery by the NGINX?

@lethal orbit if you still have time, could you tell me if the send_from_directory function from flask has any significant disadvantages compared to a direct delivery by the NGINX?
@night drum performance.
Sending files and Performance
It is strongly recommended to activate either X-Sendfile support in your webserver or (if no authentication happens) to tell the webserver to serve files for the given path on its own without calling into the web application for improved performance.
https://flask.palletsprojects.com/en/1.1.x/api/#flask.send_from_directory

python is significantly slower than Nginx or a compiled server for sending files

lethal orbit Sep 14, 2020, 7:21 PM

#

Doesn't really matter. A subdirectory of /srv/http is common, as well as /var/www or /opt/my_app_title ...

Depends on your distro and other factors.

#

I mean my site is up

this is my first attempt at putting some images up tho

so I don't touch the systemd file at all for this?

#

just nginx config and load the files to the directory I want

lethal orbit Sep 14, 2020, 7:28 PM

#

What distro is your server running?

swift sky Sep 14, 2020, 7:28 PM

#

ubuntu

lethal orbit Sep 14, 2020, 7:28 PM

#

They usually have a sane default systemd file.

#

Just sudo systemctl enable --now nginx should be enough

#

(Or similar, typed the command off the top of my head)

#

All the configuration would be in nginx.conf

#

Normally, you define locations (location /media { ... settings ...}), and tell nginx to serve those.

#

Then you add another location (location /) and give it a proxy_pass option to route the requests it can't serve directly to a wsgi server that runs flask.

Does anyone know how to get python manage.py loaddata to work properly (with Django)? I'm trying to migrate the contents of a database to a new one and keep getting the following error : DETAIL: Key (id)=(1) already exists.

cunning birch Sep 14, 2020, 9:04 PM

#

hi @topaz widget you must first do dumpdata to store the file on a json file on your development server before exporting it to a json

topaz widget Sep 14, 2020, 9:05 PM

#

Yes, the data is in a JSON file (produced from the following command: python manage.py dumpdata). The problem is when trying to loaddata, it gives a key error. The tables should be empty, as I also did python manage.py flush. @cunning birch

cunning birch Sep 14, 2020, 9:12 PM

#

@topaz widget I believe I have already encountered a similar problem.
generally I try to delete the data base and activate the developer mode of the browser because often "Google Chrome" plays the tricks on us.

#

and you deploy on which platform?

topaz widget Sep 14, 2020, 9:14 PM

#

@cunning birch It really shouldn't have anything to do with a browser. I am performing these operations on my server via ssh. Ubuntu server is the OS of my server.

#

Postgres is the database

lethal orbit Sep 14, 2020, 9:19 PM

#

@topaz widget sounds like the DB isn't properly empty... try python manage.py shell, import your models, and see what Foo.objects.all() prints (for object Foo)

topaz widget Sep 14, 2020, 9:19 PM

#

I already did that with the Users model. Let me try with the model it's barking about in the error message.

#

@lethal orbit Yeah, that returns an empty Queryset, too: <QuerySet []>

lethal orbit Sep 14, 2020, 9:25 PM

#

Very strange. Any foreign relations?

topaz widget Sep 14, 2020, 9:28 PM

#

If by that you mean does it have any foreign keys, then no, other than the OneToOneField that associates it with a User model.

#

which I have also checked and is also empty.

lethal orbit Sep 14, 2020, 9:32 PM

#

Strange. Can you share more details? The JSON data itself (scrubbing anything private) and the full error output?

topaz widget Sep 14, 2020, 9:33 PM

#

It would be difficult to scrub the JSON data of anything private, but I can show more of the error message.

#

django.db.utils.IntegrityError: Problem installing fixture 'db.json': Could not load auth.User(pk=1): duplicate key value violates unique constraint ``"users_userglobalstyles_user_id_key"

#

you're trying to insert something with a identical Primary key instead of updating the existing value

#

Primary Keys must be unqiue

topaz widget Sep 14, 2020, 9:40 PM

#

Except there isn't anything in the table

#

Or there shouldn't be at least.

#

The only thing that would have added table data is running python manage.py migrate before running python manage.py loaddata.

#

I tried reversing the order but run into the problem that the tables don't exist if I run loaddata first.

quick cargo Sep 14, 2020, 9:42 PM

#

did you tell it to ignore the meta data when dumping the original data?

topaz widget Sep 14, 2020, 9:43 PM

#

No, how do you do that?

quick cargo Sep 14, 2020, 9:43 PM

#

Ngl i cannot remember off the top of my head

topaz widget Sep 14, 2020, 9:43 PM

#

I saw something that vaguely seems like it might be the same thing when searching for the solution online.

quick cargo Sep 14, 2020, 9:43 PM

#

Ive had these sorts of issues before where if you dont tell it to specifically ignore all the Metadata tables they break when you load them back because the migrations will auto create all the tables themselves

topaz widget Sep 14, 2020, 9:44 PM

#

Right, yeah.

#

I assumed that was probably the issue. Unfortunately, the error messages don't clearly show the tables causing the problems.

quick cargo Sep 14, 2020, 9:44 PM

#

tbf worse cause sanario you can just load the json file with a python script and just send it to a temp endpoint to insert the things you need

lethal orbit Sep 14, 2020, 9:44 PM

#

I usually use data loading scripts and not fixtures.

topaz widget Sep 14, 2020, 9:45 PM

#

Worst case scenario is I just load all the database info by hand, which is not that much right now but still a pain, and I should really learn how to do it properly for when my database has way more data than I could enter by hand.

quick cargo Sep 14, 2020, 9:46 PM

#

Ive low key manually transfered a couple gigs worth of db before

#

dumped to json and just made a simple script that manually re did it

#

well i say manually

#

i just clicked play after coding it

topaz widget Sep 14, 2020, 9:47 PM

#

The only things my database has in it right now are a superuser, a test user with regular permissions, and background images for about a dozen pages.

#

I could do this all manually, but I ran into this issue a few weeks ago and just did the manual approach. Eventually the database will require a script or doing it the proper way.

lethal orbit Sep 14, 2020, 9:49 PM

#

This is my script:
https://gitlab.com/patryk.tech/patryk.tech/-/blob/master/ptdjango/populate_staging.py

topaz widget Sep 14, 2020, 9:49 PM

#

ty

lethal orbit Sep 14, 2020, 9:51 PM

#

I also automatically generate a superuser here: https://gitlab.com/patryk.tech/patryk.tech/-/blob/master/ptdjango/startprod.sh#L18

#

If you pass DJANGO_SUPERUSER_PASSWORD and DJANGO_SUPERUSER_USERNAME as env variables, they get populated automatically, IIRC

#

So you don't have too keep the data inside scripts.

#

Of course, you can also us os.environ.get inside said scripts...

topaz widget Sep 14, 2020, 9:57 PM

#

Thanks, yeah, on my server, I typically keep such data in a JSON file and then just use json.load.

lethal orbit Sep 14, 2020, 10:00 PM

#

That is theoretically better... but yeah, sometimes loaddata is fickle lol

topaz widget Sep 14, 2020, 10:00 PM

#

Well, I just got it to work for one of my apps

#

I just need to figure out which tables I need to exclude.

lethal orbit Sep 14, 2020, 10:00 PM

#

If you just json.load and pass it to a model, that should also work.

topaz widget Sep 14, 2020, 10:01 PM

#

There is an --exclude flag, which lets you exclude tables when doing dumpdata from the old database.

#

The problem is I don't know which tables are the problem...

#

But you can also specify single apps to do dumpdata for, which I seem to have gotten to work ( need to query the database in shell now to find out ).

#

Yeah, it worked for the app I did it with. Just queried the database and it looks like the background images (or references thereto) got transferred over.

topaz widget Sep 14, 2020, 11:07 PM

#

@lethal orbit @quick cargo So I figured out what the problem was with the database migration. When I import my auth.user models, it also imports the data for models that use the user as a foreign key (OnetoOneField in this case). Then, when I try to import those models, it also tries to import the data for each instance of those models (for which the user is a foreign key), meaning there is a duplicate record.
The issue can be mitigated by simply running dumpdata for auth.user (python manage.py dumpdata auth.user > auth_user_db.json) and then doing python manage.py loaddata auth_user_db.json) and then not doing loaddata for any models that depend on the user as a foreign key.

topaz widget Sep 14, 2020, 11:39 PM

#

@zinc hill Don't use onclick, onblur, onfocus, etc...
Instead, use <object>.addEventListener('click', () => { ... } ), etc...
The reason is that you can only use onclick , etc... once for whatever element you're calling it on, whereas you can set as many event listeners as you like.

zinc hill Sep 14, 2020, 11:40 PM

#

@native tide

topaz widget Sep 14, 2020, 11:43 PM

#

Also, @native tide , when you call document.getElementById(), make sure you are using the proper capitalization. Mixing cases will not call the getElementById method.

native tide Sep 14, 2020, 11:43 PM

#

i used onclick

topaz widget Sep 14, 2020, 11:44 PM

#

You should use element.addEventListener('click', function () { ... } );

#

It's better, trust me. @native tide

native tide Sep 14, 2020, 11:46 PM

#

still doesn't work

sturdy pike Sep 14, 2020, 11:46 PM

#

Hey does anybody know where i can find a whole list of all the attributes of the django generic based class views?

topaz widget Sep 14, 2020, 11:46 PM

#

@native tide Paste your code including the part where you call the element by id.

native tide Sep 14, 2020, 11:46 PM

#

var button1 = document.getElementById("my_Btn")

button1.addEventListener('click', function () {alert("hello");});

topaz widget Sep 14, 2020, 11:47 PM

#

Not technically Python, but all us web devs need to struggle with javascript

vestal hound Sep 14, 2020, 11:47 PM

#

TypeScript for me

#

which is a lot better 😂

#

Hey does anybody know where i can find a whole list of all the attributes of the django generic based class views?
@sturdy pike do you mean dir()?

native tide Sep 14, 2020, 11:47 PM

#

            <div class="tab-pane fade" id="Blacklist" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="blacklist">
              <div class="prompt">
                <label for="input1" class="titillium-web left medium">Blacklist a website:</label>
                <input type="text" id="input-prompt" placeholder="eg. https://google.com/" name="input1" class = "titillium-web medium-left"><br><br>
                <button type="button" id="my_Btn" class="button left">Add Site</button>
              </div>
            </div>```

topaz widget Sep 14, 2020, 11:47 PM

#

Same thing, essentially.

#

Don't forget the semicolon after the first statement.

vestal hound Sep 14, 2020, 11:47 PM

#

type checking helps a lot

sturdy pike Sep 14, 2020, 11:48 PM

#

@vestal hound I'm trying to figure out all the attributes that are associated with each generic base view

#

It this not important? I want to modify some things, however I suppose I can just always add them into the view

vestal hound Sep 14, 2020, 11:48 PM

#

if you mean "attribute" in the generally understood sense, dir will do what you want

native tide Sep 14, 2020, 11:48 PM

#

still same error

sturdy pike Sep 14, 2020, 11:48 PM

#

Give me the anatomy of the DetailView for instance, I want to know what it contains

#

!!

topaz widget Sep 14, 2020, 11:49 PM

#

Can I see how you call your script in your html @native tide

native tide Sep 14, 2020, 11:49 PM

#

what script

topaz widget Sep 14, 2020, 11:49 PM

#

The <script> tag

native tide Sep 14, 2020, 11:49 PM

#

📎 unknown.png

#

this one

topaz widget Sep 14, 2020, 11:50 PM

#

No, that's not your code.

native tide Sep 14, 2020, 11:50 PM

#

wait

#

📎 unknown.png

#

my friend added code in that file too tho

#

and it works

topaz widget Sep 14, 2020, 11:50 PM

#

The src attribute needs to point to your js file.

native tide Sep 14, 2020, 11:50 PM

#

why does the other code in the file work

topaz widget Sep 14, 2020, 11:51 PM

#

If that's the case, it's not a problem with your script tag. Let me take a look.

native tide Sep 14, 2020, 11:52 PM

#

do you want to liveshare

#

so u can see everything

topaz widget Sep 14, 2020, 11:52 PM

#

In a minute maybe.

native tide Sep 14, 2020, 11:52 PM

#

okay

topaz widget Sep 14, 2020, 11:53 PM

#

Instead of using getElementById use querySelector('#my_Btn') and see if that works.

native tide Sep 14, 2020, 11:53 PM

#

alright

topaz widget Sep 14, 2020, 11:53 PM

#

So that would be var button1 = document.querySelector('#my_Btn');

native tide Sep 14, 2020, 11:54 PM

#

oh okay

#

same error

#

should i try adding the script using the tag

#

see if it works then

topaz widget Sep 14, 2020, 11:54 PM

#

Okay, so do this now:

#

hold on

#

I'm going to write a bit of JS give me a sec.

native tide Sep 14, 2020, 11:55 PM

#

okay

topaz widget Sep 14, 2020, 11:57 PM

#

window.addEventListener('load', function () {
var button1 = document.getElementById('my_Btn');
button1.addEventListener('click', function () { alert('hello');});
});

native tide Sep 14, 2020, 11:58 PM

#

woh

#

wait

#

how did u do that

#

how

#

it worked

#

why is it window

topaz widget Sep 14, 2020, 11:58 PM

#

So, somehow, the button is not there before the DOM content loads.

#

Are you using a front-end framework?

native tide Sep 14, 2020, 11:59 PM

#

idk

#

u have to ask my friend that

#

it is a google extension

topaz widget Sep 14, 2020, 11:59 PM

#

It might have something to do with Jquery.

native tide Sep 14, 2020, 11:59 PM

#

maybe that affects something

topaz widget Sep 14, 2020, 11:59 PM

#

JQuery might go through and modify the DOM or something.

native tide Sep 15, 2020, 12:00 AM

#

idk

#

he used bootstrap

#

if that affects anything

topaz widget Sep 15, 2020, 12:00 AM

#

Anyway, yeah, if you're having a problem like that in the future, just try running whatever code you want to run after the window object's load event.

native tide Sep 15, 2020, 12:00 AM

#

alright thanks

topaz widget Sep 15, 2020, 12:00 AM

#

Just wrap it in that 'load' event listener like I did.

native tide Sep 15, 2020, 12:00 AM

#

alright

#

in the load function can i add more listeners

topaz widget Sep 15, 2020, 12:01 AM

#

You can get more granular about what event triggers it, too, but "load" is basically the last one so the surest to work.

native tide Sep 15, 2020, 12:01 AM

#

alright

topaz widget Sep 15, 2020, 12:01 AM

#

Yeah, you can do whatever you want.

#

Honestly, though, the code I wrote is not optimal.

#

You should probably do this instead:

vestal hound Sep 15, 2020, 12:01 AM

#

incidentally, anyone here use Celery and have advice on how to run asynchronous tasks?

topaz widget Sep 15, 2020, 12:02 AM

#

Actually, @native tide , try this instead, and let me know if it works, please:

native tide Sep 15, 2020, 12:02 AM

#

alright

topaz widget Sep 15, 2020, 12:03 AM

#

var button1 = document.getElementById('my_Btn');
window.addEventListener('load', function () {
button1.addEventListener('click', function () { alert('hello');});
});

#

Replace what you have with what I just wrote.

#

@native tide Did you try that?

native tide Sep 15, 2020, 12:04 AM

#

doesn't work

topaz widget Sep 15, 2020, 12:04 AM

#

Okay, weird.

#

Same error?

#

null?

native tide Sep 15, 2020, 12:05 AM

#

yep

topaz widget Sep 15, 2020, 12:05 AM

#

Okay, weird. Just revert to the first way then.

native tide Sep 15, 2020, 12:05 AM

#

ok

zinc hill Sep 15, 2020, 12:05 AM

#

if I have a path

path('', views.index, name='index')

and current url path is customer/profile

<a href={% url 'index'%}></a>

does it send me to localhost/ or localhost/customer/profile/index.html?

topaz widget Sep 15, 2020, 12:07 AM

#

@zinc hill If that is your root URL conf on the top line, it should send you to localhost/

zinc hill Sep 15, 2020, 12:07 AM

#

oh ok

#

thanjks

topaz widget Sep 15, 2020, 12:07 AM

#

But I think you need a space between 'index' and %}. At the very least a space makes it more readable.

zinc hill Sep 15, 2020, 12:08 AM

#

yeah it i was typing it in here and didnt bother with format mb

distant trout Sep 15, 2020, 12:10 AM

#

someone know how to create infinite scrolling with data coming from api calls?

zinc hill Sep 15, 2020, 12:10 AM

#

my ROOT_URLCONF = 'mainapps.urls'

but it keep adding on to the existing url

#

when i click on the link

topaz widget Sep 15, 2020, 12:10 AM

#

Hey @native tide Try the second way I showed you, but this time, make button1 a const instead of a var.

distant trout Sep 15, 2020, 12:11 AM

#

I already created a normal pagination but I'd rather have an infinite scroll

native tide Sep 15, 2020, 12:11 AM

#

ok i will try

#

error

topaz widget Sep 15, 2020, 12:12 AM

#

@distant trout You basically need to load a new page with JSONResponse on the 'scroll' event.

#

Okay @native tide nevermind then.

#

Was worth a try.

distant trout Sep 15, 2020, 12:12 AM

#

@topaz widget so i can get the next page with my current pagination, do i need to pass that page into the scrol event?

native tide Sep 15, 2020, 12:12 AM

#

ok

topaz widget Sep 15, 2020, 12:14 AM

#

You need to set an event listener for the "scroll" event that uses AJAX to get another page.

#

The event is triggered when you get close to the bottom of the page.

distant trout Sep 15, 2020, 12:14 AM

#

@topaz widget ok, i kinda tried that but here is a problem, whenever it hits the bottom of the page, it loads in the entire page

#

the entire second page

topaz widget Sep 15, 2020, 12:15 AM

#

Actually, the event is triggered on scroll but doesn't execute unless you are near the bottom of the page.

distant trout Sep 15, 2020, 12:15 AM

#

the entire page as in everything, including navbar and etc

topaz widget Sep 15, 2020, 12:15 AM

#

You mean it replaces the page you have with the second page?

distant trout Sep 15, 2020, 12:15 AM

#

it loads in the 2nd page under the first page

#

but a little smaller

topaz widget Sep 15, 2020, 12:16 AM

#

Well, you need to create some sort of model to separate your content from your page then and just load in the content.

distant trout Sep 15, 2020, 12:16 AM

#

i can do that with JSON right?

topaz widget Sep 15, 2020, 12:16 AM

#

JSON is how you would load the content from your database.

#

The model would need to be created in a models.py file.

distant trout Sep 15, 2020, 12:17 AM

#

ahhh

topaz widget Sep 15, 2020, 12:17 AM

#

And you might want to use a template to create each block.

distant trout Sep 15, 2020, 12:18 AM

#

is that the <template> tag?

topaz widget Sep 15, 2020, 12:18 AM

#

I figured out how to do this a while back. Give me a sec and I'll try to find my code from the views.py file.

distant trout Sep 15, 2020, 12:18 AM

#

ok sure

topaz widget Sep 15, 2020, 12:18 AM

#

In answer to your last question, no.

distant trout Sep 15, 2020, 12:18 AM

#

ahh okay

topaz widget Sep 15, 2020, 12:20 AM

#

def post(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
        context = self.get_context_data()
        if context['form'].is_valid():
            if self.request.is_ajax:
                context['form'].send_email()
                data = context['form'].cleaned_data
                return JsonResponse({
                        'status': 'success',
                        'message': render(self.request, 
                            'main/contact_submit_message.html', 
                            {'site_name': 'My Website'}).content.decode()
                    })

#

So 'main/contact_submit_message.html' is the template I was talking about.

#

This is within a class-based view, too, btw.

frozen spear Sep 15, 2020, 12:22 AM

#

ajax!

distant trout Sep 15, 2020, 12:22 AM

#

ahh i see

#

im gonna try and play around with that

topaz widget Sep 15, 2020, 12:23 AM

#

So you need to use render( ... ).content.decode() to use the Django template.

distant trout Sep 15, 2020, 12:23 AM

#

wait so what this is doing is

#

sending back JSONResponse to the client?

topaz widget Sep 15, 2020, 12:23 AM

#

And then on the front-end, you need something that takes the message and plugs it into the appropriate element on the site.

#

@ your last question .... yes

distant trout Sep 15, 2020, 12:24 AM

#

got it! thank you so much

#

gonna get to coding

topaz widget Sep 15, 2020, 12:24 AM

#

There is a bit of front-end work, too.

#

But I think the back-end is the hardest part in this case.

distant trout Sep 15, 2020, 12:24 AM

#

ill use ajax

topaz widget Sep 15, 2020, 12:24 AM

#

It took me a day to figure that one out.

distant trout Sep 15, 2020, 12:25 AM

#

yeah the backend part confuses me the most

topaz widget Sep 15, 2020, 12:25 AM

#

Yeah, so if you use fetch or XMLHttpRequest or jquery, just have it append the html to whatever element you need to put it into once it loads.

distant trout Sep 15, 2020, 12:26 AM

#

got it! again, thank you

topaz widget Sep 15, 2020, 12:26 AM

#

I have used parentElement.innerHTML += <content>; to good effect on this one.

frozen spear Sep 15, 2020, 12:27 AM

#

@topaz widget your pretty good with ajax things

topaz widget Sep 15, 2020, 12:27 AM

#

Thanks.

frozen spear Sep 15, 2020, 12:27 AM

#

i really got bit confused at ajax and gave up cuz of status 403

#

when sending formdata

#

been days trying to learn ajax

topaz widget Sep 15, 2020, 12:28 AM

#

AJAX takes a while.

#

It's critical for modern websites, though, so you just need to plow through.

frozen spear Sep 15, 2020, 12:28 AM

#

yes i mean i figured out but then i gave up on last second when everything worked

#

with is status 403 (forbidden)

topaz widget Sep 15, 2020, 12:29 AM

#

Yeah, 403 is a weird error. You must have needed some authentication or something.

frozen spear Sep 15, 2020, 12:29 AM

#

i actually needed some cookie csrf_token thing

#

and i was confusing

#

confused*

topaz widget Sep 15, 2020, 12:29 AM

#

Okay, that makes sense.

#

Yeah, definitely don't forget your {% csrf_token %} unless you want to get hacked.

frozen spear Sep 15, 2020, 12:30 AM

#

yes lol

topaz widget Sep 15, 2020, 12:30 AM

#

Do you create a new FormData object when you send ajax?

sturdy pike Sep 15, 2020, 12:31 AM

#

Don't yell at us science

frozen spear Sep 15, 2020, 12:31 AM

#

yes scince

topaz widget Sep 15, 2020, 12:31 AM

#

Okay, good, because you can have issues with your data not being in the proper format if you don't.

#

@sturdy pike I'LL YELL IF I FEEL LIKE IT!

                return JsonResponse({'status': 'failed'})

#

@distant trout That's zoomed out from the code I showed you last time

#

You also need some import statements at the top of the file, but I'll let you find those.

sturdy pike Sep 15, 2020, 12:36 AM

#

f that

distant trout Sep 15, 2020, 12:36 AM

#

ahh i see

#

yeah ill figure out the imports

sturdy pike Sep 15, 2020, 12:36 AM

#

copy n paste that badboi and cross them fingers

distant trout Sep 15, 2020, 12:36 AM

#

lol

#

i think most of my learning came from copy and pasting but also adding my own code in the mix

topaz widget Sep 15, 2020, 12:37 AM

#

I think that's how most people learn.

distant trout Sep 15, 2020, 12:37 AM

#

oh haha

#

thats good to know

topaz widget Sep 15, 2020, 12:38 AM

#

I mean, there's a lot in the code I pasted that is useless to your example, though.

#

But it should give you some idea as to the structure.

distant trout Sep 15, 2020, 12:38 AM

#

yes! im here to dissect it

topaz widget Sep 15, 2020, 12:38 AM

#

This is for a contact form I have on my website.

distant trout Sep 15, 2020, 12:39 AM

#

yeah i figured.. what was this website if you don't mind me asking

topaz widget Sep 15, 2020, 12:39 AM

#

It sends back a rendered html template, though, which is what you're looking for.

#

Give me a sec. I need to change something real quick and I'll share the URL

distant trout Sep 15, 2020, 12:40 AM

#

ok sure

topaz widget Sep 15, 2020, 12:42 AM

#

Had to make user registration inactive.

#

lol

swift sky Sep 15, 2020, 12:42 AM

#

how does gunicorn actually work? I have some code that works locally but when i run the docker image, the login function doesnt work

#

i suspect it has to do with how gunicorn serves things

distant trout Sep 15, 2020, 12:44 AM

#

oh wow that looks really neat

topaz widget Sep 15, 2020, 12:44 AM

#

Thanks.

distant trout Sep 15, 2020, 12:44 AM

#

is it custom css or did u use a css framework for it

topaz widget Sep 15, 2020, 12:44 AM

#

It's all made from scratch.

distant trout Sep 15, 2020, 12:44 AM

#

oh wow

topaz widget Sep 15, 2020, 12:44 AM

#

(Django on back end tho)

#

Yeah, there are about 1500 lines of CSS lol

#

about 1000 lines of JS

#

I need to rewrite some of the JS actually.

distant trout Sep 15, 2020, 12:45 AM

#

css hurts my head, so i usually just throw up a bootstrap cdn

topaz widget Sep 15, 2020, 12:45 AM

#

Yeah, I just wanted to actually make a whole website from scratch for the practice.

#

Well, one page at least

#

There is a form there that uses AJAX

swift sky Sep 15, 2020, 12:46 AM

#

do either of you guys know about gunicorn

topaz widget Sep 15, 2020, 12:46 AM

#

Only a little bit.

distant trout Sep 15, 2020, 12:47 AM

#

@topaz widget oh thats nice, i dont know how to play sudoku though 😅

topaz widget Sep 15, 2020, 12:47 AM

#

Oh, okay.

#

It solves sudoku puzzles

distant trout Sep 15, 2020, 12:47 AM

#

i want to make a website from scratch now

#

since i always relied on other frameworks

topaz widget Sep 15, 2020, 12:47 AM

#

Look at the script tag there, and you can see a big AJAX function I used.

#

It might actually help you out with your application.

distant trout Sep 15, 2020, 12:48 AM

#

yeah thats large

topaz widget Sep 15, 2020, 12:48 AM

#

Frameworks are probably better for most cases, but for educational purposes, doing it the hard way makes you learn more.

#

If you double click in browser it will format the JS

distant trout Sep 15, 2020, 12:48 AM

#

yeah i opened it in debugger on firefox

#

im gonna look through it

topaz widget Sep 15, 2020, 12:49 AM

#

Okay, if you want to use the site as reference, make sure to write down the url. I'm going to delete the messages that have the name.

distant trout Sep 15, 2020, 12:50 AM

#

ok done, bookmarked it. thank you 👍

I only know very little about gunicorn.

#

Is this a Flask website?

swift sky Sep 15, 2020, 1:01 AM

#

it's ok im venting hoping someone might comes along

#

yes it's flask

topaz widget Sep 15, 2020, 1:02 AM

#

Hm, yeah, don't really know much about Flask either.

swift sky Sep 15, 2020, 1:02 AM

#

this works when i run it locally

#

but when it runs through a gunicorn instance it doesnt seem to allow me to log in

topaz widget Sep 15, 2020, 1:03 AM

#

Yeah, I haven't a clue. Sorry.

vestal hound Sep 15, 2020, 1:03 AM

#

why are you using a local var @swift sky

swift sky Sep 15, 2020, 1:03 AM

#

because i suck

#

but do you think that's why?

vestal hound Sep 15, 2020, 1:03 AM

#

I'm going to hazard a guess that it's because of that

swift sky Sep 15, 2020, 1:03 AM

#

yeah

#

that's probably why it persists when running locally

#

but with a gunicorn instance it probably wouldn't because of the way it servers it O.o

topaz widget Sep 15, 2020, 1:05 AM

#

Have you ever used apache @swift sky ?

swift sky Sep 15, 2020, 1:05 AM

#

no

topaz widget Sep 15, 2020, 1:05 AM

#

It's a more popular server than gunicorn, I know that.

swift sky Sep 15, 2020, 1:05 AM

#

im using nginx

#

and gunicorn

frozen spear Sep 15, 2020, 1:06 AM

#

hmm

topaz widget Sep 15, 2020, 1:06 AM

#

oh okay

swift sky Sep 15, 2020, 1:06 AM

#

😄

topaz widget Sep 15, 2020, 1:07 AM

#

Maybe gunicorn is working under the hood with modwsgi then, idk

swift sky Sep 15, 2020, 1:07 AM

#

it is

topaz widget Sep 15, 2020, 1:08 AM

#

Yeah, as I said, I know very little about it.

#

I know how to get a Django site running with modwsgi and Apache, though.

swift sky Sep 15, 2020, 1:08 AM

#

@vestal hound just to clarify you were talking about the sessionLogIn = [] variable?

vestal hound Sep 15, 2020, 1:08 AM

#

yes

#

also snake case please

swift sky Sep 15, 2020, 1:08 AM

#

xD

#

scared of snakes

candid jackal Sep 15, 2020, 1:09 AM

#

Has anyone worked with PYJWT?

#

token_decoded = jwt.decode(token, 'secret', verify=True, algorithms=['HS256']) This is not working for me. ERROR : Not enough segments

frozen spear Sep 15, 2020, 1:09 AM

#

I think you have to define related_name= into your Foreign key definition
@maiden kraken alrighty

opal fulcrum Sep 15, 2020, 1:10 AM

#

iam having issues learning django can someone recommend me a tutorial or a way to learn it ?

topaz widget Sep 15, 2020, 1:10 AM

#

@opal fulcrum Corey Schafer has some good tuts on Youtube.

vestal hound Sep 15, 2020, 1:10 AM

#

is it the first thing you're trying to learn?

opal fulcrum Sep 15, 2020, 1:11 AM

#

no i know about python basics - some object oriented stuff and kivy

versed python Sep 15, 2020, 1:11 AM

#

I think they meant web development

topaz widget Sep 15, 2020, 1:11 AM

#

Corey Schafer tutorials Youtube

opal fulcrum Sep 15, 2020, 1:11 AM

#

i am having issues when things goes to .... Templates codes ... i am so confuses about it

#

@topaz widget is he good

topaz widget Sep 15, 2020, 1:11 AM

#

yes

versed python Sep 15, 2020, 1:11 AM

#

yeah very good

topaz widget Sep 15, 2020, 1:12 AM

#

What kind of site are you trying to make?

candid jackal Sep 15, 2020, 1:12 AM

#

token_decoded = jwt.decode(token, 'secret', verify=True, algorithms=['HS256']) This is not working for me. ERROR : Not enough segments
Anything on this error guys?

opal fulcrum Sep 15, 2020, 1:12 AM

#

i was following a guy called Rafi Qazi .. but his tutorial is really hard

#

idk if i am dumb or he is bad

topaz widget Sep 15, 2020, 1:12 AM

#

What kind of site @opal fulcrum ?

versed python Sep 15, 2020, 1:12 AM

#

you'll probably also understand nothing the first time following corey schafer, but after a while you will get it

opal fulcrum Sep 15, 2020, 1:13 AM

#

hmmm mmm tbh i don't really want to build specific site i just want to get good at it .. then idk study HTML - CSS for front end so i can get a job with it

vestal hound Sep 15, 2020, 1:13 AM

#

IMO Django is not something one should start with

versed python Sep 15, 2020, 1:13 AM

#

html css ain't enough to get you a job

candid jackal Sep 15, 2020, 1:13 AM

#

@opal fulcrum Make something easy to learn.

vestal hound Sep 15, 2020, 1:13 AM

#

level of abstraction is a bit too high

candid jackal Sep 15, 2020, 1:13 AM

#

I'm trying to learn authentication

topaz widget Sep 15, 2020, 1:13 AM

#

Okay, well, what IgnisDa said is probably true, but Corey goes step-by-step, so you can definitely get a site running using his tutorials.

vestal hound Sep 15, 2020, 1:14 AM

#

@candid jackal your token is not valid.

candid jackal Sep 15, 2020, 1:14 AM

#

How come?

vestal hound Sep 15, 2020, 1:14 AM

#

well

#

I have no idea

candid jackal Sep 15, 2020, 1:14 AM

#

I tried it

vestal hound Sep 15, 2020, 1:14 AM

#

that would depend on how you're getting it

candid jackal Sep 15, 2020, 1:14 AM

#

I'm getting it from another package

#

and it doesn't have decode

vestal hound Sep 15, 2020, 1:14 AM

#

but basically

#

a JWT has three segments, right

versed python Sep 15, 2020, 1:14 AM

#

@candid jackal what's the value of token?

candid jackal Sep 15, 2020, 1:15 AM

#

its the token itself

vestal hound Sep 15, 2020, 1:15 AM

#

separated by .s

opal fulcrum Sep 15, 2020, 1:15 AM

#

but ... why are you saying i won't be able to get a job with it .. what skills i need to be able to get a job with django ?

candid jackal Sep 15, 2020, 1:15 AM

#

📎 unknown.png

versed python Sep 15, 2020, 1:15 AM

#

does it have 3 segments like @vestal hound said?

vestal hound Sep 15, 2020, 1:15 AM

#

okay

#

just do this

#

assert len(token.split('.')) == 3

topaz widget Sep 15, 2020, 1:15 AM

#

@opal fulcrum Companies want to see JS and front-end frameworks.

candid jackal Sep 15, 2020, 1:15 AM

#

why would i wanna split it?

versed python Sep 15, 2020, 1:15 AM

#

@opal fulcrum html css is something every one knows and can learn in a few weeks. Doesn't prove anything

vestal hound Sep 15, 2020, 1:15 AM

#

seeing camel case and snake case in the same line makes me feel ill

#

why would i wanna split it?
@candid jackal because the segments in a JWT are separated by .s.

topaz widget Sep 15, 2020, 1:16 AM

#

@versed python Not entirely true.

candid jackal Sep 15, 2020, 1:16 AM

#

@vestal hound It's just for me to learn, i know i should follow pep8

vestal hound Sep 15, 2020, 1:16 AM

#

so if you split it and the length isn't 3

versed python Sep 15, 2020, 1:16 AM

#

yeah Javascript sucks

#

all my homies hate Javascript

vestal hound Sep 15, 2020, 1:16 AM

#

that means your token has the wrong number of segments.

opal fulcrum Sep 15, 2020, 1:16 AM

#

can you give me a plan what i need to learn to be able to find a job with it ?

topaz widget Sep 15, 2020, 1:16 AM

#

@versed python HTML and CSS can take a while to master.

opal fulcrum Sep 15, 2020, 1:16 AM

#

in order

versed python Sep 15, 2020, 1:16 AM

#

@versed python Not entirely true.
@topaz widget mostly true, though

vestal hound Sep 15, 2020, 1:16 AM

#

@opal fulcrum try #career-advice

versed python Sep 15, 2020, 1:16 AM

#

yeah

topaz widget Sep 15, 2020, 1:16 AM

#

There is quite a lot of depth to CSS

vestal hound Sep 15, 2020, 1:16 AM

#

you can learn basic HTML and CSS, yes

candid jackal Sep 15, 2020, 1:16 AM

#

📎 unknown.png

vestal hound Sep 15, 2020, 1:16 AM

#

in a few weeks

#

you can learn basic almost anything in a few weeks

#

or even less

#

but I wouldn't say that qualifies you as "knowing" CSS @ a level that would make you employable

topaz widget Sep 15, 2020, 1:17 AM

#

Getting good with CSS takes longer than a few weeks, though.

vestal hound Sep 15, 2020, 1:17 AM

#

except maybe as an intern or something.

topaz widget Sep 15, 2020, 1:17 AM

#

Knowing all the combinators, etc... can take a while.

versed python Sep 15, 2020, 1:17 AM

#

yeah especially since most frameworks can do what you spend hours doing using css files with a few minutes

#

css is essential knowledge, but it's not enough knowledge

topaz widget Sep 15, 2020, 1:17 AM

#

Also, knowing how to structure your HTML to properly apply CSS is part of learning both HTML and CSS and can take some time.

vestal hound Sep 15, 2020, 1:17 AM

#

that said, I also do think there is value in learning a framework first

opal fulcrum Sep 15, 2020, 1:18 AM

#

hmmm this is getting complex to me ... cause sometimes when iam learning django they put some HTML codes in it which gets me confused ... should i learn HTML first before jumping into django ?

https://github.com/NovemberOscar/Sanic-JWT-Extended @vestal hound I am using this package

⚡️An open source Sanic extension that provides "extended" JWT support - NovemberOscar/Sanic-JWT-Extended

but there is no decrypt.

vestal hound Sep 15, 2020, 1:18 AM

#

hmmm this is getting complex to me ... cause sometimes when iam learning django they put some HTML codes in it which gets me confused ... should i learn HTML first before jumping into django ?
@opal fulcrum it depends on what you want to use Django for.

#

you can build a website with only Django (in the sense that it can fill templates to create HTML pages which are served)

candid jackal Sep 15, 2020, 1:18 AM

#

should i just use pyjwt only

vestal hound Sep 15, 2020, 1:19 AM

#

beats me, I have never used JWT

#

everything I have told you I got from a quick Google search

#

but anyway
