mortal mango
yeah everything is on it. Everything that I have on my computer
devout coral
...
mortal mango
is that supposed to happen?
devout coral
So the venv was not activated
mortal mango
yeah ig
devout coral
so activate the venv in vs code so it uses that as the interpreter
mortal mango
source venv?
devout coral
You could do it through the terminal or set it up so vs code automatically activates it
you need to source the activate script inside
mortal mango
how do I activate the script?
devout coral
it might be something like source venv\Scripts\activate
mortal mango
oh ok
devout coral
Did you not go to the link I sent?
mortal mango
yeah I went to the link
'source' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

nvm
it didn't create the requirements.txt file
do I have to install something for it to work?

it worked
the requirements.txt is just an empty file
do I push this to my VPS?

You can ask here, user's who know the solution to your problem, will answer
devout coral
@mortal mango Did it work?
mortal mango
@devout coral I uploaded all the files including the requirements.txt file but once I go onto my VPS and do ls, it doesn't show requirements.txt. I confirmed that it's uploaded to the VPS in filezilla, but it isn't sensing it for some reason.
devout coral
Make sure you are looking in the right folder
mortal mango
oh nvm I was in the wrong user
I can't open my exo_api folder with my user
if I edit something with the root user, will it update for my other user?
@devout coral
mortal mango
oh ok
should I start my virtual environment and then install the requirements.txt?

I have a Flask webapp. When I use it, it works as intended, but my users are running into anIndexError: list index out of range.
I added a print command of the list in question and had the user try again. The list that was printed looks completely fine, but the user still got the IndexError.
How is it possible that users get an error, while it is working on my end?
devout coral
@mortal mango yes activate the vent then install
mortal mango
what's the command to activate?
devout coral
It should be source path_to_activate_script
Normally it is in venv/bin/activate if I am not mistaken
mortal mango
it's venv/Scripts/activate for me
but it says syntax error near unexpected token
there seems to be a syntax error inside the activate file
should I just create a venv like how corey shafer did?
@devout coral
mortal mango
no I'm deleting the venv files
devout coral
Alright.
mortal mango
I just went into filezilla and deleted it
devout coral
Ok, whatever works I guess
mortal mango
yeah it's still deleting lol
devout coral
Probably would have been quicker to delete it on the server but too late now
mortal mango
yeah
@devout coral it's trying to install from pypi
it's trying to install from https://pypi.org/simple/requirements-txt
devout coral
try pip install -r requirements.txt
devout coral
restart apache and then test
devout coral
yes
mortal mango
ok
is that it?
now do I go to the vps Ip address?
@devout coral
it works!!!!
after like 2 days
it works
mortal mango
yeah
I'm trying to set up a sub-domain but it says webserver is down.
the sub-domain is pointing to the VPS Ip Adress
this is my A record
@devout coral do you know why this is happening?

Need Guidance - for steps to be followed for developing a SNMP based Network or Element Monitoring System(NMS) for element like wifi AP's (FCAPS(fault, configuration, accounting, performance, security) model). Below are the feature I need to accommodate:
A WebBased GUI to adding the wifi AP over SNMPv2 or v3.
Monitor wifi-AP RF and other performances using wifi-AP REST API.
Saving elements statistics and other information into the database.
Alarm and Event monitoring
Presenting realtime performance graph over NMS webUI.
Configuration of device parameters.
This is the idea which I want to learn to develop, and I am having experience of Python and JS. Need support on how I can proceed further for developing such web base monitoring system using Python as I have experience on it.
devout coral
@velvet lion You kind of are asking for a lot. I would first begin by breaking down all your requirements into small bite size chunks and just start implementing little by little. Or if you need a larger scope I would suggest you make a road map with all the requirements broken down into smaller sections.

could someone take a look at this issue i am facing with django ```python
extention of auth.User model

when i am tring to enter data into the form

Can you show the error please?
also no need to put ```

You are not handling the error properly. There is no neeed to add the error. Just do the following instead return render(request, 'home/register.html', { 'user_form': user_form, 'profile_form': profile_form })

does anyone know how to set a sub-domain with cloudflare? I have an A record in my DNS pointed to my VPS IP address which I have my apache web server on. But when I search up the subdomain, I get this:
red pine
signals.py```python
@receiver(post_save, sender=User)
def create_profile(sender, instance, created, **kwargs):
if created:
Profile.objects.create(user=instance)
@receiver(post_save, sender=User)
def save_profile(sender, instance, **kwargs):
instance.profile.save()
@red pine What are you trying to do exactly?
You should probably be making a custom user instead of using the pre built django one
red pine
i want to register users with phone and middle_name
i am following CoreyMS and have extended the user model with aa Profile model
the Profile is getting created in the DB and I can see the Profile in the admin panel but the data is not getting saved in the table
devout coral
Ok so that is the only part of coreys tutorial that is not great
red pine
yes struggling with it from 3 days now
devout coral
even the django docs say to make a custom user EVEN if you do not need extra stuff
I need to leave here soon so I cannot help you too much but I can send you a link to the docs
for making it
red pine
for some reason the iduser that is created is not getting passed on to the FK of the profile model

@pine bane generate an api call for that

can you elaborate it?

Say a user puts the snooze on alert for 5 minutes another for 10 minutes
how to call the api endpoint after 5 minutes and 10 minutes
stable kite
just send an alert to user after the time which is provided by user

heyy @stable kite sorry for the ping bro i wanted to ask something related to css grids
how can i avoid the space under 4b
i have given a grid-gap of 1em

just remove gap

okay

display: grid;
grid-template-columns: repeat(3, 1fr);
grid-template-rows: repeat(3, 1fr);

like i want the gap
@winter spindle ??

@winter spindle i think this will workgrid-gap: 0em,1em;?

oh okaky i will try it
tht doesnt solve the probelm
i think i should wrap them in a seperate container and do it

@winter spindle ya try that i don't know the prefect solution for your problem
wanton ridge
may someone help me with this. I type something on my register page and click on submit and i get datas with post method but those datas won't be insert into my table in database
did i do something wrong?
pine bane
@wanton ridge use an orm instead of raw queries its prone to sql injection
wanton ridge
i use mariadb as database
pine bane
yeah thats fine use something like sqlalchemy as orm
your code has an sql injection in it
also don't store passwords instead store their hashes
wanton ridge
so you mean i use sqlalchemy instead of mariadb am i right?
gaunt marlin
for query on flask better use sqlalchemy orm for safety and easier to use
pine bane
mariadb is a database and sqlalchemy is an orm
dapper tusk
it does not, he is using the proper form for interpolating strings into queries afaik
gaunt marlin
sqlalchemy is just an orm, it doesn't replace your database engine
wanton ridge
so i type import sqlalchemy right?
dapper tusk
except the fact you are passing a set
wanton ridge
ok let me use sqlalchemy then
dapper tusk
that is probably a good idea
gaunt marlin
even so i just tend to avoid raw sql at all cause, because there too many security reasons
wanton ridge
ohh yes
pine bane
so what will be result of this query if I pass ' as name? @dapper tusk
gaunt marlin
you get sql injection possibility into your database XD
dapper tusk
it will get escaped properly
pine bane
he is not sanitizing data so you can never claim it is not immune to sql injection
dapper tusk
cur.execute does that
pine bane
@stable kite how will I know the time is over?
unborn dust
hello, can someone tell me how to integrate google authentication with my django rest api?
dapper tusk
django-auth-all
gaunt marlin
django-allauth is much better
gaunt marlin
don't spam pls
native tide
test
dapper tusk
@high ledge please do not just repeatedly spam test
vestal hound
he is not sanitizing data so you can never claim it is not immune to sql injection
@pine bane the driver will do it for you
as long as you let it, instead of using Python string interpolation
it is perfectly secure.
that is exactly the same as what a full-fledged ORM would do.
unborn dust
hello, I'm trying to follow this article to get id_token provided by google to work with django-allauth, but it suggests making changes in the files of the package I have installed on my system itself, I dont think that's a good idea, is there any other way I could do this instead?
https://medium.com/@gonzafirewall/google-oauth2-and-django-rest-auth-92b0d8f70575
gaunt marlin
that is a bad tutorial if it required you to modify package code
unborn dust
yeah, seems like a hacky fix
gaunt marlin
@unborn dust https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NG48CLLsb1A this one is from one the good youtuber and it's recent
unborn dust
hmm, it is for django itself, I wanna integrate this with django-rest-framework
there's not many tutorials for this 😦
pine bane
@vestal hound and @dapper tusk got it
gaunt marlin
@unborn dust sadly no, why you not using django authentication for DRF ?
unborn dust
u mean email and password?
I already have it, need to integrate google authentication support as well
gaunt marlin
if that then sadly you have to write your own authentication to serve that purpose
but for google login on the interface i would still go for my suggestion

#help-pear
web scraping problem
wanton ridge
May someone explain me what scoped_session(sessionmaker(bind=engine)) does?
gaunt marlin
@wanton ridge i'm not look into it myself but it would probably work like other orm, when you request to a function of an url it will open an sql connection session to the data, after you completed with your query it will close the database connect session
for example 2 request to url at the same time, open 2 connect sessions and gather all the query from both in 1 database transaction to the database then close when it finish
wanton ridge
ahh thanks

Hey
So I was using websockets to transfer images and then view them with cv2 but now I want it on flask can somebody help me out. Like how I can change picture real time on flask server
vivid spear
hey people
can flask do things like some javascript does like
button listener?
or is it ike just backend
pine yew
negative, flask is the server part of the relationship
pine yew
by creating endpoints that the javascript talks to through AJAX
vivid spear
i pressed this button and then javascript asks flask to scrape that data once that data is scraped it comes back to javascript
pine yew
so you would have something like this
vivid spear
post get and stuff dont work here right
pine yew
const resp = await fetch('/my/route');
and your endpoint would resemble
@app.get('/my/route')
def scrape_stuff():
# do things
return data
oh so i gotta fetch
pine yew
yeah, that would live in your event handler somewhere
vivid spear
is def a function just like javascript?
pine yew
yes
pine yew
the @app part is called a decorator
pine yew
you can, I was just giving you an example of what your code would look like
pine yew
flask has a good intro tutorial on their website that has you build a simple blog platform
https://flask.palletsprojects.com/en/1.1.x/quickstart/
vivid spear
no i already stared a project with static files and that
brb
hey whats up @pine yew
pine yew
@vivid spear ?
vivid spear
so um yeah so i was saying
how did you get the app.gwt
like you are gonna fetch a thing on python right
@app.get('my/route')
whats that route
vivid spear
okok
there no?? app.get on there?
so um so what i am saying back again that like
for example
i made a index.html right and it has button in it and a form input
and i wrote a string on it and pressed the button
and it makes a new html page on the template
so it does something like this
how am i gonna do that?
pine yew

and i installed python 3.9.0
did you add python to the environment variables
@mortal mango ?
mortal mango
in the installation page
mortal mango
yeah

go into the path of the python folder
search python in the windows search bar and then click show file location

@gleaming basin It seems you did not add it to path. The best course of action is to uninstall it then re install it. While you re install ensure you click the checkbox that says add to path.

@gleaming basin I would suggest you get a grasp of python before trying to use Django. Take a look at some of that same guys tutorials.

Lol @winter spindle That does not seem urgent but I can try
@devout coral hey i have a coompetition goin
devout coral
There is your issue. Your place holder has a bunch of space
add padding to the input instead.
@winter spindle What kind of competition?
devout coral
<div>
<label for="password">Password</label>
<input type="text" id="password" class="foo" placeholder=" Password" autocomplete="off">
</div>
You see all those spaces in the placeholder property?
stray nexus
Hi can anybody give some pointer with Flask ? I want to have a website with a form to fill then use the data to generate an image to show to the user. The catch is that the processing take 1-2 minutes (if the image has not been generated yet) and I will need a wait/polling page of some kind. What is the best/standart way to handle such case ?
devout coral
@stray nexus So you want the user to not have to wait for the processing and just it happen in the back end?
winter spindle
i did tht only for spacein the place holder a biti
i want the cursor to move forward
not the placeholder to move backwards
devout coral
@winter spindle remove the spacing then add padding. Have you tried that?
You want both to move together.
winter spindle
paddin is getting added to the whole contianer
stray nexus
@devout coral ideally have a 'processing....' page first and load the one with the result when available automatically
winter spindle
like i want the padding to be inside the box only but tht isnt happening
like the whole box is gettind mover
moved
this happens when iadd pading
devout coral
@winter spindle What did you add the padding to?
@stray nexus You will want a pre loader then.
devout coral
let me seee the css for the foo class
winter spindle
i have just done the padding right
devout coral
Add padding to the left not the right.
stray nexus
@devout coral My first idea is to serve a page depending of the presence of img.png or img.png.tmp (meaning a process is generating one) and just slap an autorefresh on the waiting template
winter spindle
yeah wait i will try
stray nexus
@devout coral Nice ! thanks for the pointer ! seems like that was the name I needed 🙂
devout coral
Alright
mortal mango
@devout coral Hello, where would I put the static HTML and CSS files for my home page?
devout coral
@mortal mango Normally you want one CSS file for your entire site which you include in your base.html and then when you extend base.html for the rest of your templates it will include it.
For my projects I normally have a app called main which has anything that is general purpose stuff like the main home page, base.html and any JS that will be shared to everything.
mortal mango
I thought the home page is supposed to be called index.html
or is base.html and index.html just the same thing
@devout coral where do I tell apache2 where the index.html file is?
stable kite
Can some one tell me why Django does not call get_prep_value() when used lookups for filtering data.

@devout coral I have <link rel="stylesheet" href="{% static 'css_files\index_style.css' %}"> to get the css file but it's not retriving it for some reason. It says not found. Do you know why this is happening?
hollow ingot
Guys, i need to choose between django or flask for a project
i have worked with flask on a couple of projects, but i have not touched django yet
the project is a real time examination system with AI proctoring, i'd count that as pretty big project
what'd you guys think, should i go with django or flask
empty agate
Hey I created a server on tech, coding, etc... Would you like to join?
devout coral
@mortal mango Send me the static files setting in settings.py
@hollow ingot Are you going to need users to authenticate?
mortal mango
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static')
How about you apache conf. Did you set that up properly?
@mortal mango Are you using wsgi for this?
hollow ingot
@devout coral yes
mortal mango
I'm testing on my computer right now
devout coral
Hey I created a server on tech, coding, etc... Would you like to join?
@empty agate I am not sure that promotion like this is allowed.
@hollow ingot Then django it is lol. Their authentication system does so much that if I ever need auth I automatically use django. Unless you want to re create it all with flask.
@mortal mango static files are handled differently in production and in development.
hollow ingot
@devout coral How's that diffrent from flask-login?
plucky tapir
has anyone dealt with this error before redefinition of group name 'pk' as group 2; was group 1 at position 34
devout coral
@mortal mango No... What you need to do is to read or watch a tutorial on django and how to set it up.
hollow ingot
@devout coral Django is described as a framework meant for large products, why is that?
is it because its got many features preinstalled?
devout coral
@hollow ingot I mean it is similar, but django has all of that included no need for other packages
@hollow ingot Django is like a batteries included type thing.
@mortal mango Both...
hollow ingot
Would flask and django have simlar performance in case of large projects?
devout coral
@plucky tapir Nope, what are you doing to cause the error?
hollow ingot
So the only main selling point of django is its a batteries included framework?
devout coral
@hollow ingot Technically flask performs slightly better since it is smaller but it is negligible performance.
plucky tapir
@devout coral Using createview to send some input into a form. In my models I am doing ``` def get_absolute_url(self):
return reverse('users-home', kwargs={'pk': self.pk})
@hollow ingot Development would be faster with django. That is the selling point.
mortal mango
@devout coral The HTML works fine. It's just the CSS files aren't being found for some reason
devout coral
@mortal mango Not just the css files. All your static files I am guessing.
devout coral
@mortal mango How about your images, JS etc?
@plucky tapir So that reverse is the thing giving you the error? Also note that reverse does not return absolute url
hollow ingot
Oh, Okay, Thanks a lot @devout coral . You're awesome!!
devout coral
@hollow ingot YW!
hollow ingot
I hope yall have a super great bug free day.
devout coral
@mortal mango Glad you got it figured out. We live and we learn, I bet you won't be making the same mistake again.
plucky tapir
@devout coral I believe so, getting redefinition of group name 'pk' as group 2; was group 1 at position 34
devout coral
@plucky tapir Is that the full traceback?
mortal mango
@devout coral The html and css works fine, but the whole page is shifted left for some reason.
Do you know why?
devout coral
@mortal mango It seems to me you are having some sort of css issue nothing to do with your server set up.
mortal mango
yeah but I just copied the code from my other website. So it should look the exact same right?
devout coral
In Theory Yes.
plucky tapir
traceback: https://dpaste.org/3TK2
devout coral
What exactly are you trying to do? Can I get some context?
plucky tapir
@devout coral inputting data into a database using createviews, then go to the details page. I looked up the pk error but I do not see much of anything about it so its worrysome
devout coral
oh... I rarely use the class based views. Let me do some digging through the docs one sec
@plucky tapir Can you send me the code for the view
plucky tapir
@vale knot Sure. I have heard that it was much simpler to use CBV initially is why i went in that direction. https://dpaste.org/jC9M
Also just from your knowledge, am I using reverse correctly if i have a url named 'users-home' and I want to redirect there? return reverse('users-home', kwargs={'pk': self.pk})
mortal mango
@devout coral I tried changing the width and stuff but it's just staying the same
I'm gonna push it to my VPS and see if it stays the same
I pushed the files and ran it with apache and the inspect console says this: Refused to apply style from 'https://mydomain.com/index_style.css' because its MIME type ('text/html') is not a supported stylesheet MIME type, and strict MIME checking is enabled.
@devout coral
devout coral
@plucky tapir Are you trying to redirect them? Or just return the url?
@mortal mango Paste bin your css file
plucky tapir
@vale knot I want to go to the details page after creating a new input path('<int:pk>', PostDetailView.as_view(), name='users-home'),
devout coral
@plucky tapir Use redirect instead of reverse. Reverse simply will return the url where redirect will actually return an http respone

ok
pulsar hinge
Hey, can I ask someone that knows Django really well to help me at private chat? As I don't really want to interrupt their chat. Thanks!
devout coral
@pulsar hinge I can help you out here but I am not sure if I qualify.
mortal mango
Also, remove all of the comments and see if you get the right result as well.
@devout coral still the same indentation thingy. The whole page is shifted left.
where are the issues in the code?
devout coral
@mortal mango Is the css file being loaded now? Or still the same error?
mortal mango
let me upload it onto my vps
yeah it's not working
same error in the inspect console
devout coral
Line 91, 226. Also, what are you doing in line 31?
mortal mango
it's my brothers code so idk
devout coral
@mortal mango Did you remove the comments?
mortal mango
yeah
devout coral
after you fixed it push it to github so I can check it or paste bin it
devout coral
@mortal mango Check line 90, 166, 225. Seems like those are errors.
pulsar hinge
Okay.
I'm creating ecommerce site, and i'm trying to handle cart view so that it can render items in a table that this user has added to cart. Adding is done but items are not rendering. Either I'm getting(objects.get method) 'Order' object is not iterable or it just doesn't show at all (objects.filter method). I'm looping through them at my cart. He is views.py - cart function
try: # Using try/except here, as it was meant to work well with .get()
context = {
'items': Order.objects.filter(user=request.user, ordered=False)
}
return render(request, 'cart.html', context=context)
except ObjectDoesNotExist:
messages.error(request, 'You do not have an active order')
return redirect('/')```
cart.html
```<tr>
{% for item in items %}
<td>{{ forloop.counter }}</td>
<td>{{ item.title }}</td>
<td>{{ item.quantity }}</td>
<td>${{ item.price }}</td>
{% endfor %}
</tr>```
And whole models.py as i'm inheriting classes.
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/ikoloxulur.py@mortal mango Check line 90, 166, 225. Seems like those are errors.
@devout coral oh ok. Do you know what to fix? I don't know HTML and CSS. That's all my brother.
devout coral
Line 90 seems like there is an extra "Z" just remove it. Line 166 just has em you either need to delete the line or specify how many em's.Line 225, I do not think SmokeyWhite is a color.
devout coral
@pulsar hinge It looks like your query is returning only one item and you are expecting a query set.
@mortal mango I really do not think you have set up your server properly. Reasons why I keep suggesting to just develop in your local machine then later push it all up once you are done.
mortal mango
yeah that's what I was doing but you said the development and production are different
so I would have to change it anyway once I go into production right?
I'm gonna look into my .conf file
devout coral
@mortal mango Ah.... yes they are different but you only have to add three lines to ensure your static files are working in development and then in production all you need to do is add the static route to your conf file and you are done.
pulsar hinge
@pulsar hinge It looks like your query is returning only one item and you are expecting a query set.
@devout coral Isn't filter supposed to get me all filtered objects, and .get get just one? I saw that i'm getting one item as well, coz my forloop.counter is only rendering 1, even though i'm having 2 different items at admin, but all other cells are blank.
devout coral
Just finish the entire project in development first. You are running into issues now that are hindering your ability to develop.
mortal mango
@devout coral it worked!!! I had the wrong path in my .conf file
devout coral
@pulsar hinge Oh wait yeah, you are using filter. Do me a favor. Get rid of the useless try except and then add a print(type(Order.objects.filter(user=request.user, ordered=False))) before the return
@mortal mango Cool
pulsar hinge
<class 'django.db.models.query.QuerySet'>
<class 'ecommerce.models.Order'> And this with .get, just to compare or smth
devout coral
@pulsar hinge Yeah you want the top thing to ensure you always can use the for loop
Is it working now? Or what is the error you get now?
pulsar hinge
I'm getting blank table,
{% for item in items %}
<td>{{ forloop.counter }}</td>
<td>{{ item.title }}</td>
<td>{{ item.quantity }}</td>
<td>${{ item.price }}</td>
{% endfor %}
</tr>```
Is not rendering anythingJust the hardcoded '$' and {{ forloop.counter }}
devout coral
So no error now that is good. Now do a print(Order.objects.filter(user=request.user, ordered=False))
pulsar hinge
<QuerySet [<Order: admin>]>
And in admin panel, I'm having 2 different items in Orders assigned to admin
devout coral
alright do this in your template
<tr>
{% for item in items %}
<td>{{ item }}</td>
{% endfor %}
</tr>
Getting 'admin' in my cell
devout coral
Ok, show me the admin model please
devout coral
My apologies the Order model
pulsar hinge
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/ikoloxulur.py It's in here as I'm having only 4 models total
devout coral
There is your problem item.title is not a field in the order object
I think what you are trying to do is pass a queryset with the items not the order.
pulsar hinge
Yea, I thought it's going to look at items, then go to OrderItem as I'm inheriting it in ManyToManyField. How am I supposed to pass it then?
pulsar hinge
Yea, it will take everything
devout coral
What you can do is make a list of of the items for the order in the view.
pulsar hinge
Do you have any idea on implementing it?
devout coral
I think you need to change your stuff a bit. You might want to change it so that Items has a property called order and that is the M2M field. This way you could just query items for a specific order.
If that makes sense
red pine
# index class based view
class IndexView(ListView):
model = Question
context_object_name = 'posts'
template_name = 'home/index.html'
def login(request):
context = { 'title' : 'Sign In' }
return render(request, 'home/signin.html', context)``` How do I pass `title` like in the `login` view to my `IndexView` which is a class based view ?I think you need to change your stuff a bit. You might want to change it so that Items has a property called order and that is the M2M field. This way you could just query items for a specific order.
@devout coral Hard to do, or just for me as im also inheriting Item at OrderItem, so i'm getting variable undefined error
red pine
thanks i will check the docs
also if i need to access the request object, can i do that within a template using class based views ?
marsh canyon
You should be able be able to access the request var in the template with {{ request }}
red pine
i tried {% for i in request %} but it did not do any thing
red pine
did i do it right ?
i was reading the docs and i want to access the IP address that is a meta data exists in the request object
HttpRequest.META REMOTE_ADDR
@marsh canyon so i tired python {% for i in request.META %} <p>i</p> {% endfor %} it is printing a bunch of i s
marsh canyon
it should be {{ i }}
marsh canyon
cool

cold haven
I just successfully made a django environment in VSCode.
I want to learn how to hook a webscraper and collect data online, unbox the data into my own database types, and then box them to a UI of my choice.
I will do this with MVC pattern
I like how in python you can create your own microservice though venv.
ebon gust
@cold haven django is great but why would you need it for just a simple webscraper? even if you want a webscraper with a webinterface i personally would rather go with flask since it's a lot more lightweight
ebon gust
Oh ok, yeah I really love Django but I use it only for bigger projects (as it's intended to) but if you want to create a webscraper project to learn Django it also makes sense to use it
cold haven
but specifically as I said, this could potentially be a big project
i'm using the webscraper to collect data from the web.
so the database could be huge potentially.
ebon gust
Yeah but with size wise I didn't mean the database size, I rather meant the size of overall code base
cold haven
what webscraper software would you suggest I use?
ebon gust
Since Django allows you to better structure a big codebase rather then flask
ebon gust
You mean what scraper api or do you want to create your own scraping service
ebon gust
Never heard of that but I honestly never used a webscraping saas so far only coded one from scratch for a client
cold haven
but scraping on the back end means you can actually unbox your own elements or capture them, and send them to your own UI, unlike scraping from the front-end frameworks.
I don't think there is a way with front-end frameworks to put the data in a UI
ebon gust
I don't really get what you want to scrape
cold haven
front-end is used just for testing, but I could find a better use of data collecting on the back end.
for example, if I wanted to scrape a few databases from a few different websites.
I collect it and put it into a database
then I can send it to the browser via html
and bootstrap
ebon gust
I guess you can not directly scrape databases of other websites 😄
cold haven
you need to connect the scraper api to a browser so the back end works as the intermediary.
ebon gust
But I know what you mean you want to scrape data from different websites and save it to your database and then show it in your ui
Right?
cold haven
smortToday at 4:29 PM
I guess you can not directly scrape databases of other websites 😄
@ebon gust clarify?
ebon gust
I mean to "scrap from a databse" you would need to have database acces 😉 😄
You mean to scrap the data from the website (html)
cold haven
oh no, not to hack into a database through sql injection
I mean just perform a search from search bar.
ebon gust
Yeah but that means you scrape it from the rendered webpage (html)
cold haven
yeah
that's how it works
I know what you are getting at.
but you could use a webscraper to do sql injection on websites.
I wouldn't advise it.
ebon gust
Webscraper has nothing to do with sql injection since the only thing a webscraper does is scraping data from a rendered webpage
cold haven
all you have to do is enterKeys into an input box and then it returns a webpage.
you can do that in browser automation
ebon gust
Yes but thats automation as you said and not webscraping you are precise 😉
cold haven
you would enter a script into an input box and then it accesses the database and returns results.
Without using sql params in your code, you may have problems.
yeah I suppose you can reverse engineer anything. Protractor is dangerous and can be used to make BotNets

heyyy
ebon gust
@near ridge hi
near ridge
Why was I pinged?
ebon gust
@near ridge Sorry mistyped
winter spindle
he was trying to ping me
winter spindle
can you look tht link and tell how is it ?
ebon gust
Box was writing about webscraping and then he started talking about sql injection no idea why 😄
winter spindle
@ebon gust
near ridge
That link seems incredibly sketchy
ebon gust
@winter spindle sorry but i don't like to click on suspicious links
winter spindle
hey mahn it is just a one page website made by html and css
tht's it
i aint a pro hacker
ebon gust
im sorry don't want to startup my vm for just looking at one page
winter spindle
ohh okay then
near ridge
I'd rather look into it first
ebon gust
i think thats a good idea
winter spindle
near ridge
Fair enough. Apologies, I'm just paranoid for the sake of the server
ebon gust
I guess every dev is 😄
ebon gust
I like the color scheme but it looks a bit like a mix of different ui styles in my opinion
peak meadow
Guys, how to use that "Lazy loading" feature from Werkzeug with gunicorn ?
winter spindle
ohh okaayy @ebon gust
near ridge
@ebon gust It does seem to be:
<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Lobster&display=swap" rel="stylesheet">
<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Montserrat:wght@500&display=swap" rel="stylesheet">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="register.css">
@winter spindle but i really like the wave in the background and the graphics
winter spindle
ohh okaky thanks
@ebon gust It does seem to be:
<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Lobster&display=swap" rel="stylesheet"> <link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Montserrat:wght@500&display=swap" rel="stylesheet"> <link rel="stylesheet" href="register.css">
@near ridge yeah .. you got it right
tht lobster is just for tht logo
near ridge
Today I learned that you can get the source code of a site without having to go to it
near ridge
Pretty handy
winter spindle
yeah 😂
ebon gust
@near ridge fonts are not the problem it's more like everythink in the header is straight and then the signup form is only rounded
winter spindle
how can i make the navbar rounded
i made the form rounded cuz it looks good tht way
otherwise it's tooo flat
ebon gust
@near ridge you can still use a webserver in front to view the source code without having to open the page 😄
ebon gust
@near ridge Oh ok nice 😄
ebon gust
@winter spindle do you use images as background for the inputs?
winter spindle
what ?
ebon gust
Because it looks like it from the different color on the border
winter spindle
i didnt get what you tryna say
lavish prismBOT
ebon gust
Yeah that would be helpful
winter spindle
oh okay
actually its just been a month since i started learning html and css
@ebon gust
ebon gust
Oh ok wow then it's actually pretty good if you only started a month ago
Then it's just a rendering issue on your webbrowser you use cause the inputs look like they have 2 different colors but in the css you only set a fixed color
winter spindle
should i make the navbar of full width ?
ebon gust
@winter spindle I personally would remove the line under it
and increased the space below a bit
winter spindle
ohh okay but then i was confused like how to style it
ohh oky
i will make it full width
ebon gust
on scroll i would add a box-shadow on the header (and the header element should have a white background and be fullwidth)
but you can put a container inside it (if you use bootstrap the class is .container)
so that the content like the logo are not on the far left
ebon gust
@native tide a bit but the spacing between the menu items is far to big make it smaller
and as i said but a container inside the header element so that your the logo is not on the far left and the menu is not on the far right
you know what i mean?
winter spindle
yeah i have to add a search box to it too
thts why i have kept tht space
@ebon gust and yeah does this look like a shopping website form 😂
ebon gust
you could just put in a small search icon and when somebody clicks on it you display the search input over the user menu or something like that
what kind of shopping website?
from the screenshot i don't really get what the website is about
ebon gust
does the website sell stuff or just link it?
ebon gust
oh ok
ebon gust
because i really would add some kind of information or tagline so people know what the website is about i mean who would input personal data and signup for something they don't even know what it is 😄
winter spindle
ohh okay soo like can you suggest a tagline or something for tht
@ebon gust
this is the login page
ebon gust
the thing is i still don't really understand if the purpose of the website is to be a shop and sell products or just link it or something else
winter spindle
link means ?
its like only frontend
i will make a website tht will have grid in which i will place the items
devout coral
He means add something that will tell the user what this website is about.
winter spindle
and like ppl can select tht
ebon gust
like just linking products from other websites or something like a price comparison website
devout coral
Are you trying to make this to like sell it as a template?
devout coral
Then just add a random tag line or nothing if you do not want to. 🤷♂️
Anyone want to give me some feedback on the looks of my website?
plucky tapir
@devout coral do you suggest fbv if I'm just staring in django?
devout coral
@plucky tapir fbv?
plucky tapir
function based reviews rather than class based @devout coral
devout coral
That is just me though. It is a preference thing.
cold haven
I was told flask was easier to use
devout coral
Oh awesome, dajngo is great
Flask is somewhat easier yes. But you do not get all the functionality like django out the box.
I prefer Django but I am biased.
cold haven
I would rather sacrifice performance and get more automation building.
devout coral
Sacrifice performance? With what?
devout coral
Flask does not really have a performance advantage...
cold haven
I was told it is lightweight.
devout coral
What it does have is more freedom.
Well yeah, there is less stuff included. Like if you are just making an api it is probably better to go with Flask because you will not need all the features of Django. But if you are building a website both are good options
cold haven
I want to hook a webscaper api or use something like protractor to unbox a database and box the data into my own UI.
it's more or less going to be like a specialized search engine or cache proxy of sorts.
I specialize in info systems tech and have a degree in it.
I'm thinking of Data Analyst type implementations to put it on my Resume 🙂
maybe even build a devops pipeline from github, and put it on an AWS
mortal mango
@devout coral <img class="space-img" style="overflow-x: hidden;" src="exo-images/space.png" alt=""> will the image work? I have the exo-images folder in the same directory as the file that this piece of code is in. The problem is that the images aren't showing up.
devout coral
@cold haven My guess is you are wanting to build a site around all this and maybe have users be able to sign in and use it?
@mortal mango Why are you not doing {% static %} ?
Is it not in your static folder?
mortal mango
no it's in my normal folder where the html file is
devout coral
Why...
mortal mango
should I be in my static folder?
devout coral
Well of course. I am guessing your html is in your templates folder??
Actually, just show me a screenshot of your directory tree for the entire project.
vivid spear
sup people, new to flask any tips?
i only use js but i dont use these stuffs {{}} and {%%} what should i use them for?
devout coral
This is what a project directory would typically look like. You have the project "DivisionManagementSystem" then 3 apps: employees, main, operations. Each app has it's own templates/static directory. @mortal mango
@vivid spear You mean in your html?
vivid spear
yeah
devout coral
That is part of a Templating Language. It allows to re-use html and also add logic to build your html, it is a beautiful thing.
vivid spear
oh
devout coral
You technically do not have to use it but it will speed up development and reduce headaches.
For example you could pass a list of names and use a list to unpack it and put them all in <h1> tags
vivid spear
so um im kinda new to python since im just learning flask for web dev can i use something like multiple python files
mortal mango
@devout coral
devout coral
@mortal mango What does your conf file look like?
Also, where is the image?
And have you ran collectstatic?
mortal mango
devout coral
@mortal mango I do not see the image inside that directory...
devout coral
@vivid spear Honestly I am not entirely sure how flask works 100% but I think you need to install jinja as it does not come pre installed
vivid spear
okok thanks gonna look for it
devout coral
@mortal mango Ok... You are not pointing static there tho...
Look at where you are pointing static to
that is where you need to place your static files
Granted if you are using multiple apps I would suggest one static folder in the project root directory so all you have to do is a collectstatic command and django will make sure all your app files are there. Then you only need to point the server to that one static file and you are done.
mortal mango
should I move the exo-images folder to static or css_files?
devout coral
to static...
mortal mango
ok
devout coral
Then in your template you can reference it like so {% static 'exo_images/whatever image.jpg' %}
Do you understand what that entry is doing in the conf file?
devout coral
Ok just making sure
mortal mango
it works!
vivid spear
hey @devout coral just gonna ask. Is there a python module that create a new html page?
i was planning to do something like a button and a form and once you wrote something on a form like hello it makes a new html template in /template/room/hello and the javascript will redirect that
cold haven
@devout coral well maybe down the road. I'm just going to get it to work first.
SnowballfuryToday at 6:36 PM
@cold haven My guess is you are wanting to build a site around all this and maybe have users be able to sign in and use it?
mortal mango
@devout coral The css for my rest_framework page isn't working for some reason
it's just an html page without the css
it works on my computer but it's not working on my server
devout coral
@vivid spear there probably is. Just gotta search for it
@cold haven if that’s the goal then maybe using Django from the beginning will be helpful
@mortal mango what do you mean the case is not working but it is a html page with no css?
mortal mango
yeah
vivid spear
@devout coral yeah lol but nvm i used flasked first just gotta stick it out
mortal mango
https://exoapi.tk/exo I don't mean to send the link but you can check it out here
it's not showing the css
I accidently deleted the css files
and then I brought them back
vivid spear
Ooooof
mortal mango
but now they're not working
devout coral
You are not returning the html stuff
Anyways I am with my wife now bye
We link up tomorrow

Hi guys. I have a Django ManyToMany field called users. I'm making a post request to create a note, and this note is linked to users.
Here is my request:
And this is my Notes model:
class Notes(models.Model):

content = models.TextField()
last_updated = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True)
users = models.ManyToManyField(Users) # note_object.users.add(user object) adds a user to this field```The issue I'm having is that I don't know what to input for the users field in my API call. Is it an instance of my Users model? I'm totally lost on what to input there. Does anyone know?
I have to input a list. But what's inside that list I can't figure out.

@trim star we don't help people do things that aren't ethical here.
manic frost
@native tide Requests for paid work are not allowed on this server.
vestal hound
no above that
trim star
I am looking for how to prevent it
manic frost
With modern software, it's pretty much impossible.
vestal hound
i have some web dev questions abut cross site forgery
@trim star you mean like CSRF?
manic frost
There are many security checks that are already in place.
trim star
@vestal hound yes
vestal hound
There are many security checks that are already in place.
@manic frost and then you can't figure out why your Django server isn't working properly so you just disable all of them on the server side 🥴
trim star
💀
manic frost
Well, if you disable the checks, it's your foot and your gun 🙂
trim star
So it seems like with csrf basically what happens is that a hackers is able to replay your session token and make unauthorized requests?
well "authorized" because the session token matches, but it was not submitted by you

@stable kite wdym
@toxic flame Code for custom Query
Post.objects.filter(title="ShahProgrammer")
#sql
'SELECT "CryptographicFields_post"."id", "CryptographicFields_post"."title", "CryptographicFields_post"."body" FROM "CryptographicFields_post" WHERE "CryptographicFields_post"."title" = 9319c221fb87f14a26a104c1c2db'
Post.objects.filter(title__startswith="Shah")
#sql
'SELECT "CryptographicFields_post"."id", "CryptographicFields_post"."title", "CryptographicFields_post"."body" FROM "CryptographicFields_post" WHERE "CryptographicFields_post"."title" LIKE Shah% ESCAPE \'\\\''
@toxic flame Code for custom model
from django.db import models
from .modelfields import CharField
# Create your models here.
class Post(models.Model):
title = CharField(max_length=100)
body = models.TextField()```
**Code for custom model fields**
```py
from django.db import models
from .cryptography import encrypt,decrypt
class CharField(models.CharField):
def get_internal_type(self)-> str:
return "TextField"
def to_python(self, value: Any) -> Any:
print("to_python",value)
return self.clean(super().to_python(value),None)
def get_prep_value(self, value: Any) -> Any:
print("get_prep_value" , value)
return encrypt(super().get_prep_value(value))
def from_db_value(self, value:Any, expression:Any, connection:Any)-> Any:
return decrypt(value).decode()
def clean(self, value, model_instance):
"""
Convert the value's type and run validation. Validation errors
from to_python() and validate() are propagated. Return the correct
value if no error is raised.
"""
self.validate(value, model_instance)
self.run_validators(value)
return value```y would u do that
@toxic flame I am encrypting data but when query the data django calls get_prep_value() but when i use lookups it does not calls that function
toxic flame
so you're trying to lookup data, but it doesn;t exists?
have you tried the superuser /admin to verify if the data is saved?
stable kite
@toxic flame it exists
toxic flame
but when u query it, it doesn't appear?
stable kite
@toxic flame you didn't understood my problem?. I am telling that Django didn't processed the query value before generating SQL when used lookups but it process query values while not used with lookups
but when u query it, it doesn't appear?
@toxic flame wdym?

Are there any free services out there for keeping an inventory of products with prices and then displaying that data on a website that I'm making with django? (It should handle payments for me)
devout coral
Anything that handles payment will not be free.
I mean maybe there is but I doubt it. Since making monetary transactions has a cost.
native tide
ok well im making a website for a client
and i need to have a store front and handle transactions
warm igloo
like ... real transactions? You're building an ecom system for someone and you don't know how to do that and they're paying you for that?
Nothing is going to handle payments for free. The CC companies will take their fee, and so will the payment processor.
Look at Stripe for instance. Their APIs are a gold standard in ecom payment processing.
So usually you're going to have a flat monthly fee and then usually around 30 cents plus 2.6%-2.9% of the transaction as a fee.
Stripe, authorize.net, and more can process but again ... never for free cause the CC companies don't do that for free and no one is going to absorb that cost for you.

@native tide you want a lot for free I gotta say
native tide
@warm igloo ok i meant i needed it to be free so i can test it without paying
warm igloo
gotcha gotcha
Generally they have dummy systems set up for testing. Stripe does I believe, and I've used authorize.net like that too. But Stripe still may require some sort of account and default payment, but I'd be surprised if they didn't have a way to build on their platform without giving you demo time for fake transactions.
native tide
i just need some kind of inventory system that i can access and display the items on my web app
and then direct the users to where they can pay
warm igloo
well, see, that's the challenge .. there is payment processing and there is inventory management
native tide
i wont be dealing with the transactions directly on the site
