how to check if a value exist ?

views.py

def put(self, request, format=None): 
        print("DATA ",request.data)
        instance = Car.objects.get(id=request.data["id"])
        new_color = []
        if (request.data.pop('new_color')):
            new_color = request.data["new_color"]

Error:
File "D:\Dev\Django\template\default\views.py", line 36, in put
if (request.data.pop('new_color')):
KeyError: 'new_color'

hi i am new to django and was just wondering how i could rename this object

[native tide]

should I move to django, or stay at flask?

[acoustic oyster]

You need to add a __str__() method to your model. It should return whatever you want it to say instead.

[acoustic oyster]

I would recommend learning both.

Django works perfect for most of my web dev projects since it comes pre-built with a lot of things I need. But sometimes that is overkill.

[native tide]

is it possible to use Array data types with Flask-SQLAlchemy?

[swift sky]

are you supposed to test view functions if it's static content that is being served

Im trying to play audio in my template but it doesn't load the file properly.
I've added a FileField, defined medai_root and url and successfully uploaded a mp3 file that got saved in the specified directory.
Now im trying to reference it like this in the template but it doesn't find the file even though it does look in the correct directory.

page.html

<audio src="{{ story.upload.url }}"></audio>

JS Console:

localhost/:22 GET http://localhost:8000/media/audio/Testmusic.mp3 404 (Not Found)

Feel free to @me :)

[trail vapor]

jinja2 or brython ,which one do you recommend?

I use flask and I would like to link it to brython to make my site interactive (adding one or more pop-up windows) is it possible thanks

[gaunt marlin]

@trail vapor jinja is a template engine and brython is just an api to convert python code to javascript, those are 2 different things

if you want the site to be interactive, i think javascript is enough

[tacit kernel]

what HTTP response code should i use for a API endpoint that requires a auth token, but no token has been generated yet?

would the normal 403 work fine, or is there something that would be more specific?

[trail vapor]

jijinja2 serves me at the back but I would like with brython create pop_up windows for all which alert message such successful authentication or other

[trail vapor]

I misspoke

[frozen python]

Does anyone like using Django with React? What stack do you use? Also... do you use Next.JS?

[near bison]

Is creating a new app in django for authentication the right way to do it ?

I mean the signup and login views and the profile view etc

[nova nacelle]

avoid using the default auth user models and views @near bison

[near bison]

Why? @nova nacelle

I might not use the default user views. but why not the default User Model ? @nova nacelle

[nova nacelle]

first thing it is not practical to make changes to them, and like if u want the user to log in with the email address, or u wanna change the max length of username and all...
i faced such things and decided to create a custom user model for my project

also i can have it anyway i want

[nova nacelle]

create ur own views, it helps u learn a lot.

[near bison]

first thing it is not practical to make changes to them, and like if u want the user to log in with the email address, or u wanna change the max length of username and all...
i faced such things and decided to create a custom user model for my project
@nova nacelle if i make the model myself , will i have to write code to manage sessions , authorisations, permissions etc?

Isn't there a way to customise the default user model?

[obsidian hedge]

!accept

[nova nacelle]

it disturbs the whole system

[hazy birch]

Hello , I am coming from a java-springboot rest api background, im trying to set up APIs using flask, how does the whole models and dtos work in python
how should i structure my application ?

[indigo kettle]

@near bison I like to not touch the User model directly but if there is extra information I want for the user I will sometimes tack on another model with a onetoone field

[rotund token]

tag me if u can help me with css

[surreal harness]

not a specific questino but more generic: What are some standard ways / checkboxes to tick for API logging? I'm not entirely sure that I'm properly capturing all the possible errors that could happen when someone hits my API and I would like to log them in the server.

An example: If I have a basic GET API which returns an Object, I do basic checking for whether the object exists or doesn't, then I send back an appropriate response. But I want to be able to

1. Record that call and the response given somewhere, perhaps a database or logging module (database is probably better for obvious reasons)
2. Catch other exceptions out of the scobe of object retrieval, for example bad headers or server errors or something like that

I feel a bit out of my depth in understanding all the things I need to track to make sure I'm properly handling all of the possible ways an API can get messed up

[near bison]

How do i add a field to User Model ? Or should i inherit from it and make a new model ?

[full sedge]

how to save form data when user leave page?
like if i close browser by mistake while filling form
so i want old data that i fill in the form

[nova nacelle]

yeah, what is it?

[native tide]

I keep getting SMTP errors, and I'm clueless what should I do to debug

[near bison]

How do i make a new one ? @nova nacelle

[nova nacelle]

search videos for a "custom user model django"

@near bison

[native tide]

why did my app sent the raw html instead of the styled page on email?

[full sedge]

which error are you getting

[native tide]

I tried to hide the password and username for version control, when I directly put them on settings.py it worked

but it didn't in .env

EMAIL_HOST_USER = os.environ.get('EMAIL_HOST_USER')
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = os.environ.get('EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD')
``` this is my `settings.py`

export EMAIL_HOST_USER = [e-mail]
export EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = xxxxxxxx``` this is .env

am I not doing right? @full sedge

[full sedge]

yes it is right

by the way which password are you using>'?

[native tide]

wdym?

@full sedge btw, that sent the confirmation email but it sent the raw html message lol

why did that happen?

[zinc hill]

I am trying to learn how to use the django_rest_framwork and react. But currently, I am stuck at the CSRFTOKEN.

Currently, I have a button which get which trigger a fetch POST, but everytime i triggered it I get 403 forbidden. Does anyone know how to fix this?

handleDocument = () => {
axios(
            {
                method: 'post',
                url: url,

                    "test": "test"
                },
            }
        ).then(function (response) {
            console.log(response)
        }).catch(function (error) {
            console.log(error)

In My Python Flask App I want To Make Some Custom Stuff In HTML Template

{% if session['loggedin'] %}<a href="{{ url_for('dashboard') }}" class="cta"><button>My Account</button></a>{% endif %}
        {% if not session['loggedin'] %}<a href="{{ url_for('login') }}" class="cta"><button>Login</button></a>{% endif %}

this is my code inside of the flask app

what im trying to do is if session['loggedin'] is true it will display my account

otherwise it will show login

[native tide]

i fixed it thanks anyways

[native tide]

@zinc hill have you download django-cors-headers

And allowed requests from your react frontend

In django, Is it possible to validate a normal html form submission. which isn't made from a forms.ModelForm against a forms.ModelForm ?

How do i validate a normal html form which isn't made as a forms.ModelForm instance ?

How do i add a phoneNumber field to django

[native tide]

<a  href="http://{{domain}}{% url 'activate' uidb64=user_id token=token %}"
                    target="_blank"
                    >http://{{domain}}{% url 'activate' uidb64=user_id
                    token=token %}</a>
``` when I do this, the link is generated but the text displays the href same (without the exact syntax). how do I solve?

[indigo kettle]

@near bison you can write a forms.Form and tell it what fields you want and write your own validation methods on it. A phone field often will use some regex to validate that it is the format you are expecting.

[near bison]

@indigo kettle and then can i use it validate any form ?

i mean a form which is not created with that using it in the template

[somber fable]

i have a doubt with data bases

i'm creating a todo list

and i wanna make it a personal todo list

i've been researching and watching videos about this

but they only show how to create they never show how to create for each every user

if i create one todo list in one acc

i see the same todo list created in the second acc is see the todo list created in first acc

pls DM me

[indigo kettle]

You're saying you're rendering a template that isn't going to use the forms.Form class but you still want to validate it using the Form? I suppose you can but it's a little strange

[native tide]

@somber fable I've answered this for you already, your program has to differentiate between users. You need authentication.

[somber fable]

yea its u again

i did

it aint working for me

it ends up giving an error

[native tide]

And what is that error

[somber fable]

i dont know

i didnt undertsand wat happened

so i just removed the the todo list and started fresh

[native tide]

Well the error should've told you what happened...

Then we could've troubleshooted and continued

[somber fable]

it says line 2000+ and stuff whereas i didnt write any code above 100 lines

[native tide]

yep, because you're using Django, which includes its own files which has thousands of lines of code.

So if you are using a feature incorrectly of one of them files, there will be an error

[somber fable]

so i came back looking for anyone to do it and explain how it works

i use flask

[native tide]

Or flask, since you're importing modules

[somber fable]

ohh i'm unaware

i'm just a rookie, started 2 months ago

[native tide]

You should read through a tutorial which explains it

[somber fable]

but currently trying web dev

[native tide]

I think it's called werkzeug-security for auth

[somber fable]

i did

umm

i think this would be shameless if i ask

can u do this and explain me

i really dont get it

[native tide]

do what?

[somber fable]

i mean creating database which carry a todo list for each and every individual

[native tide]

Well, it's not really a database problem. You will have one table in your database which contains all the todos for users. It's an authentication/account issue

[somber fable]

i really dont understand wat u r tryna say me

but i'm very rookie to this web dev

just started like 6-7 days ago

@native tide

u there?

umm..

i might have been troubling u

sorry then

[somber fable]

i just need this to be done

i completed remaking the app again

just need to do this

[native tide]

What I'm trying to say is, you need to store your notes within a table in your database, and then you need some form of authentication to link a logged-in user's notes to their account

[somber fable]

okay

shall i send my code as a zip?

@native tide

[sonic ferry]

fyi, there is also https://paste.pythondiscord.com/.

[near warren]

um... How do you use Django?

is it like use index.html?

and link it with .py?

[hoary marlin]

Hey guys!
Ideally We use Table to show the data we fetched from a sql database right?
we do that by using jinja templates and mysql cursor.
we execute a select * query and store the info in some variable and pass that variable to html page.

but what to do in case of this
if the html page is already made and it contains fields to display specific data values.

ex: if I have a student table with columns:- ID, NAME, SUBJECT
the table will look like this
| Id | Name | Subject |
| 01 | John | Biology |
| 02 |Fred | Economics|

and I write this query:

sid=02;
Sdetail=cur.execute(" Select * from student where id=%d",(sid))
return render_template('data.html', studentDetails=Sdetail)

and data.html will be like this:

ID:__________________
Name:_______________
SUBJECT:______________

how will I display those specific cell data to the specific fields?

[snow sierra]

hey all ...

any chances to show time live format?? without ajax or js..

i have this in template {% now "d/m/y" %} {% now "H:i:s" %} but it is frozen of course..

[native tide]

"live" is ajax

[snow sierra]

ok then..

hi I am working with flask and i have this function ```python
@app.route("/", methods=["POST"])
def filterUpdate():
if request.method == 'POST':
filter = request.form['filter']
return redirect(url_for('index'))

[dense slate]

"filter" isn't returned

What are you trying to return back to the code?

You need to pass the filter variable back to whatever code called the function.

[tired venture]

so i have filter defined outside the function as a global

[upper perch]

doesn't that overwrite create a new filter object the global definiton? (I don't use FLASK, just python)

[dense slate]

I don't think so, because filter is local to the function.

[tacit granite]

Django follows the MVT structure: Model, View, Template. Your Template is your html file, View is written in python and in the view you tell it how to interact with the web app or the database. Model is the foundation of the database.

[dense slate]

"To access a global variable inside a function there is no need to use global keyword. If we need to assign a new value to a global variable then we can do that by declaring the variable as global. This output is an error because we are trying to assign a value to a variable in an outer scope.May 31, 2020"

https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/global-keyword-in-python/#:~:text=To access a global variable,need to use global keyword.&text=If we need to assign,declaring the variable as global.&text=This output is an error,variable in an outer scope.

@tired venture I'm also not sure why you wouldn't just return "filter" back to the original function?

Doesn't seem like much else is going on there.

[upper perch]

you can reference but not assign to a global in a function, unless you define the global inside the function, makes sense

[tired venture]

When I first tried it it was messing with my redirect for the webpage so I was trying to see if I could bypass that but that could have been another issue

The other thing is this event is triggered by a button on the web page

[dense slate]

if request.method == 'POST':
Why aren't you using this in the function that handles the form?

Oh I see, you press a button and that activate this function.

[tired venture]

@app.route("/", methods=["POST"])
def filterUpdate():
    global filter
    if request.method == 'POST':
        filter = request.form['filter']
    return redirect(url_for('index'))
``` adding ```global filter``` like this fixed my issue

[wintry edge]

Hi everyone, I'm trying to upload images from TinyMCE's textarea to Django's server side and call them back as a list. Anyone tried to struggle with it before?

[fluid dawn]

Yeah I have ,

Moved to Amazon s3

Instead

[wintry edge]

@fluid dawn I'm trying to hold with a postAcceptor.php script as docs says. Did you use it to make it work?

[formal gull]

how would i go about sending a request to run a python function in a running python script? im essentially wanting my web page to take in a few user inputs then run them in my running selenium script.

what would i research for this is mostly what im asking

im trying to use django and js. not sure what else i need

[native tide]

@formal gull Have some API endpoints using django-rest-framework

You can make request to those endpoints containing data from your frontend, to run a specific function

[formal gull]

okay. im still quite confused on what that completely means right now but im on the right path to learning i think

thanks

[native tide]

Okay, if you have any questions feel free to ask 👍 It's very similar to how you have your routes in urls.py and a view that runs whenever you visit a route - it's just that the API endpoints handle requests from your frontend which are not designed to be user-facing

[formal gull]

thanks! im currently just watching the tech with tim videos that he has out now and will kind of break away when the stuff is different then what i am looking for

[naive shard]

kindly suggest anyone to me, how to send bulk email in background or schedule through djanog. thanks

[gaunt marlin]

@naive shard take a look at Celery of python, it work well with django for scheduling tasks

[near bison]

anyone who is familiar with aws ?

how much do you usually pay for a django app ? average. i know it depends on how much it's being used. is aws the cheapest option out there ?

[gusty hedge]

@near bison also depends on your traffic and application complexity. It could be from less than $5/m to thousands/m. You might want to be more specific

generally is not only serving just Django but also implies database, cache, background task services, etc

[near bison]

I am having trouble extending the default django user model
i need the user to have

phone_number(pk)
registration_id(optional)
first_name
last_name
password
Address -- (has more fields) (i am thinking about making address a different table and having a one to one relationship)
      Street
      District
      State
      Country
      Pincode

But i don't want the superusers to have all the properies. superuser needs only first_name, last_name, password.

[native tide]

@near bison you could use AbstractBaseUser to make your own User model with all of its properties. On saving an object to the model, you can check if is_superuser is True. And, if so, you can restrict the data to the columns you want.

[native tide]

@limber edge could you have your dest_address and from_address fields as a part of your Address model?

Then you can setup a relationship between Orders and Adress, and then access both of those fields from one relationship instead of multiple.

[mental lodge]

how can i overcome this error?

django web app deployment in heroku

wait a minute i'll send that too

[native tide]

@limber edge Yes, that would work if you want to specify if an address is dest or from.

I've not that familiar with SQLAlchemy, but like any ORM you can just access the tables fields through the foreign key.

[proven wedge]

can anyone helpme? my django manage.py file isnt working

[native tide]

If you find any better ways about it let me know, I'd be interested :)

@proven wedge what's the issue?

[proven wedge]

its saying : Python was not found; run without arguments to install from the Microsoft Store, or disable this shortcut from Settings > Manage App Execution Aliases.

[native tide]

Have you downloaded Python onto your PC?

[proven wedge]

yes

[mental lodge]

im getting this error in log

[native tide]

@proven wedge and upon installation, did you tick the box about PATH variables?

[mental lodge]

check the directory , it may be an error

just go to the manage.py directory and give the command

[proven wedge]

i dont remember that right now

yes

😫

[native tide]

Iirc I had a similar issue with python not found. I reinstalled python and made sure to tick the PATH variable box and it worked after

hello

i have this .html file here

but when i opened it in the webbrowsewr

it returns a blank page

it flashes the content of the file for a second but suddenly it became like this

[left jungle]

Could you provide is with the html file please? @slim ether

[native tide]

should i start learning javascript because I'm decent with python(flask),html,css

[marsh canyon]

sure, it can be helpful in the frontend as you already know flask.

the fetch API or ajax is quite helpful for interacting with backends (flask)

[native tide]

i have worked with apis

alot

[marsh canyon]

making the UI smooth, example: not refreshing when you hit the like button (only possible with JS)

cool

[native tide]

should i learn python gui and js together

[marsh canyon]

flask can render web pages, you can sprinkle in some javascript to make the website more fluid and better

well it depends

[native tide]

like in different time period

[marsh canyon]

its totally upto you

[native tide]

I will do that because I know what i'm capable ..

[steep fiber]

Hey guys, I built the backend of an app now i'm really hating building the GUI
would you guys have any nocode solutions for this?
just to turn it into an app/ webapp
I see some nocode solutions online, wondering if anyone has any experience with them?

[near bison]

Can a field be not null and blank at the same time in django

Models

[split steeple]

Could you give me an example?

@near bison Cause django will throw an error at you if a field is blank

[dense slate]

@near bison Perhaps if you override the null or blank in forms.py, but I'm not 100%.

If you don't, then no.

You could have a default, which could just be {} or whatever as a placeholder.

@steep fiber Checked out bubble.io?

I'm not 100% if you can use the front end to connect to your own private API but I'm pretty sure you can.

[steep fiber]

ooo thanks so much looks promising

[native tide]

@split steeple @near bison blank=True on a field only affects forms iirc. That means that the field will be required if you render that form within your template. You can also have null=False in this scenario too. If it's a Charfield and nothing is passed and null=Falsedefaults to an empty string being saved in the model, so you can submit that form and not run into an errors (I think). Or you can have a field like this which will be based on the value of another field within the form.

[split steeple]

Ah ok

[runic heart]

i need help whit flask t-t

[copper patrol]

How do I clean a table in Django? I need to perform it just once, so I don't want to write python files for it

[dense slate]

Meaning remove all the entries?

You can create a function that simple loops through and deletes all the entries. I am trying to remembers.. I think they're called manager functions?

Or you can do it manually of course with db commands on the server.

[quick schooner]

hello how to install requests in my jupyter notebook please ?

[copper patrol]

How? I removed a column from my table and there are some errors connected to it

[quick schooner]

Model.objects.all().delete()

[copper patrol]

@quick schooner "!pip install"

[quick schooner]

ok but where to do that in my jupyter notebook ?

i have my .iypnb file

[copper patrol]

In a cell

Create a cell and type in there

"!pip install any-package"

[quick schooner]

ohhhh

[copper patrol]

Where do I write it?

[quick schooner]

working thanks !

in your terminal use python3 manage.py dbshell

from models import yourmodel

Model.objects.all().delete()

this will delete all entries for this model

[copper patrol]

Em, but isn't it sql shell?

@quick schooner

[quick schooner]

i think dbshell works

[copper patrol]

I mean, it seems to be not accepting python

[quick schooner]

let me try

ok it is just shell not nbshell

sorry

[copper patrol]

Ah

Should I save it now?

[quick schooner]

you want to delete all entries from a model right ?

[copper patrol]

Yeah

[quick schooner]

so this should work yes

[copper patrol]

Aha, thanks

[quick schooner]

yourmodel.objects.all() loads all the entries

add .delete() and it deletes all entries

[copper patrol]

Makes sense

[quick schooner]

make sure u import your model first with from models import yourmodel and you are good to go

[copper patrol]

Yeah I did it all, now they all are deleted, cool. But it didn't help my initial problem 😦

So the problem I'm talking about is that after I removed a column from a table, in the admin's panel I can't access the table

Neither I can add, nor remove elements

I get an error "OperationalError at /admin/..."
And "no such column: my_column_mycolumn.price_range_from"

Don't you know the issue?

The thing is, it works just fine on my local machine, just doesn't work in the production for some reason

hi
im trying to show an PDF in my browser with flask..my problem...my route only starts the download... is this possible? without something like pdfjs?

[rotund token]

#discord.js

[hoary marlin]

Hey guys!
suppose In a flask project I have an event.html form where the user enters his details i.e. Username and Phone no.
now if I need those username and phone no. in another page what should I do?

in my case the Student enters STUDENTID and SportsID and gets redirected to the Sdata page.
Sdata page will display all the details about student with the help of above parameters. How would I pass those StudentID and SportsID which I have taken as an input in event.html form to Sdata page?

[warm igloo]

You actually don't have much control over this, as it will vary browser to browser and machine to machine for your clients. They may have PDF readers set up or they may not. They may have Acrobat Reader as a full app or plugin or Chrome may say "I'll open everything in a window and never start a download until requested".

Now, of course, it also matters how you're sending it. Are you just redirecting to a static PDF file that is on your server, a dynamic one that you're generating on the fly and you're just streaming to the user, or what? If this is the case, you may just have the wrong headers being sent.

[swift sky]

not sure where to ask this

but i have some string data stored in mysql

I would like to preserve its formatting

like indentations

someone is copy pasting a word document into a text box in my webpage, and that data is then stored in a mysql

db

but id like to preserve formatting

[dense slate]

You would need something to indicate the markup.

Like, strings throughout the text that specifically render spaces or other indentation (spaces not so much but other more specific stuff)

And then probably render that with javascript on the front-end.

[swift sky]

interesting

any particular libs to look at?

[dense slate]

Not off the top of my head. Maybe look at how escaping works in javascript, or look up libraries for markdown.

[swift sky]

we used a "light box" to display ours

Could anybody who has gotten a career in web-dev shed some light on when you should start applying to jobs? Atm I've only done one project (Django + React note-taking app) and I'm working on another project which would integrate with an eBay/Amazon seller's account and calculate their tax returns from their business stats and spreadsheets.

Hi guys! Is there any solution to run a task with timer? Not exactly a cron job, for example when I create a payment instance, I want to set a timer say 24hrs, and after 24hrs will run a task to expire that payment, like a set timeout callback, not sure how to do it. Im using Django BTW.

Hi, does anyone know how to add these 3 python dictionaries to a list? I have tried but I can only get the last one in a list. I see they are not separated by a comma. Any help would be great!

[gaunt marlin]

@native tide you can use python append()

your_list = []
your_list.append(your_dictionary)

[native tide]

Thanks, I tried that but only the last dict was going in.

[gaunt marlin]

can you tell me how did you get those dicts?

[native tide]

I have one dict and I wanted to change the year from and to value in it so I made a list of new year from and to value, looped though it to create more dicts

[gaunt marlin]

can you share the code for that?

!codes

[lavish prism]

Here's how to format Python code on Discord:

```py
print('Hello world!')
```

These are backticks, not quotes. Check this out if you can't find the backtick key.

[native tide]

def year_loop():
    payload_per_year = []
    for f, t in zip(year_from, year_to):
        parsed_json['timePeriod'] = (f, t) 
        print(parsed_json)

[gaunt marlin]

this doesn't work right?

for f, t in zip(year_from, year_to):
   your_list.append(parsed_json)

[native tide]

that only inserted the last dict into the list. the dicts are not separated by commas if that has anything to do with it?

[thin dome]

how to use our created tables in psql with django

???

[gaunt marlin]

i'm trying to figure out the code that where you print to the console

the for loop loops 3 times right?

[thin dome]

@gaunt marlin can you answer me?

[gaunt marlin]

@thin dome you want to run psql raw query? take a look at https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.1/topics/db/sql/

[thin dome]

thanks

[native tide]

yes 3 times but then when I go to append the 3 dicts, only the last one goes into the list

[gaunt marlin]

When you are appending dictionary, you are actually appending its reference since dictionaries are mutable - that's why all of the entries are actually pointing to a single copy of the dictionary
Use this instead:

your_list.append(parsed_json.copy())

[native tide]

ok great thank you I will try that, I have to go now but I really appreciate your help 😀

[primal kernel]

Hey guys quick question!

I'm using the django library django-maintenance-mode. This library is used to put the page in maintenance mode (thank you Angel).
The thing is that it has a config param called:

MAINTENANCE_MODE_IGNORE_URLS = (HERE IS WHERE I NEED HELP)

The docs says this

list of urls that will not be affected by the maintenance-mode
urls will be used to compile regular expressions objects
MAINTENANCE_MODE_IGNORE_URLS = ()

The only page that I don't want to be in maintetance mode in the login page because the admins will need to log in and the maintenance won't affect them.

That param is in the settings.py file. My problem is that I don't know what I have to write in the parenthesis to avoid the login page to be in maintenance mode.

This is my folder strucutre

core
┣ settings.py
authentication
┣ urls.py

And this is my urls.py file:

urlpatterns = [
path('login/', login_view, name="login"),
path('register/', register_user, name="register"),
path("logout/", LogoutView.as_view(), name="logout")
]

thank you guys 🙏

do i have to learn JS or something

[worthy quest]

I have done a website by HTML,CSS, and JS and I have uploaded it at my domain at one.com
unfortunately the line will be %%%.com\index.html

are they anyway to make it at a home page that doesn't says
%%%.com\index.html but only be %%%.com

Is there a way to get the client's mac address using django backend...?

[worthy quest]

I hope one day someone will answer me

@compact flicker MAC addresses are used in ethernet, so only in local network range, all you can get is MAC address of your gateway (ip router)

Ok...
then is there a way to get IPv6

why config.update

and not app.run

Hey all, if I wanted to use Rank() I can annotate it into a queryset and display it

def leaderboard_queryset() -> QuerySet:
    rank_window = Window(expression=Rank(),
                         order_by=F('elo').desc())
    board = (
        Leaderboard
        .objects
        .select_related('profile')
        .order_by('-elo')
            .annotate(name=F("profile__name"))
            .annotate(rank=rank_window)
            .annotate(win_rate=Case(
            When(games=0, then=0),
            default=(Decimal('1.0') * F("wins") / F("games")) * 100,
            output_field=DecimalField(),
        )
        )
        # How can I preserve Rank if I was to do something like this?
        .filter(profile__name__icontains="Drac")
    )
    return board

However now I have quite a few entries where I'm adding in server side pagination and a search. Is there a way to preserve the rank from the entire dataset rather than the filtered data set?

[gaunt marlin]

hello, can you be more specify? are you talking about django form validation or custom error message?

[gaunt marlin]

actually that is html feature, when you set blank=Flase the html input will rendered with required in the form, for example it will render like so <input type="text" required>. If you rendered with django form then the validator will still kick in, you can see the validation error with {{ form.your_field_name.errors }} in the template, but it will show after you submitted the form.

here it is in the docs https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.1/ref/forms/api/#django.forms.Form.errors

also the validation only kick in for forms.ModelForm, not forms.Form

[stable kite]

I have an custom authentication for user. But also I want authentication for developers who are using my API. So how to implement two authentication in DRF.

[nova vortex]

Jwt

[gaunt marlin]

@stable kite you can create your custom authentication class by subclassing BaseAuthentication class of DRF, and use it in drf default authentication class in settings or per view. Take a look at https://www.django-rest-framework.org/api-guide/authentication/#custom-authentication

and yes you can have multi authentication with adding those custom class in settings.py:

REST_FRAMEWORK = {
    'DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES': [
        'rest_framework.authentication.BasicAuthentication',
        'rest_framework.authentication.SessionAuthentication',
    ]
}

[stable kite]

i have created a custom authentication

[gaunt marlin]

you have to write a custom one for DRF, which is not related to the django one

[stable kite]

i know

i have created as per drf documentation

@gaunt marlin My problem is if the first is for User & the second one for developer than drf runs user only & not developer one

[gaunt marlin]

it run by order from top to bottom, you have to figure out a way to satisfied both conditions then

[stable kite]

that's what my question is how to do that?

[gaunt marlin]

i took a look at the docs and at this part

The method should return a two-tuple of (user, auth) if authentication succeeds, or None otherwise.

In some circumstances instead of returning None, you may want to raise an AuthenticationFailed exception from the .authenticate() method.

Typically the approach you should take is:

If authentication is not attempted, return None. Any other authentication schemes also in use will still be checked.
If authentication is attempted but fails, raise a AuthenticationFailed exception. An error response will be returned immediately, regardless of any permissions checks, and without checking any other authentication schemes.

you need to return None on your User authentication class so it can run the other

[stable kite]

no it don't run it

as user is not None after running user authentication

[gaunt marlin]

i don't think you understand what i mean, if you want to run both authentication your first authentication class have to return None (if fail authentication) so it can run to the second custom authentication class(developer)

i don't have my pc with me so i can't test but it's what the docs described

[stable kite]

@gaunt marlin My first authentication (User) returns (User,None) & second authentication(developer) returns (None,Developer).But drf only runs the next class when both are None. Which is not possible in my case

[gaunt marlin]

@stable kite i think you supposed to return None, not the tuple of (User, None) (if the authentication failed on it)

@stable kite this is what i mean

first_authentication_class():
    if ok:
        return (User, None) # this will stop the flow
    else:
        return None #so it run to the second authentication class

second_authentication_class():
    if ok:
         return (Developer/User, None) # this will stop the flow
    else:
        return AuthenticationFailed() # now we done with checking

The method should return a two-tuple of (user, auth) if authentication succeeds, or None otherwise.

[stable kite]

i know i have

first_authentication_class():
    if ok:
        return (User, None) # this will stop the flow
    else:
        return None #so it run to the second authentication class

second_authentication_class():
    if ok:
         return (None,Developer) # this will stop the flow
    else:
        return AuthenticationFailed()```

[gaunt marlin]

if you did it like so then it's strange as the docs state this should work, i will test this when i get home

[stable kite]

sure

Having trouble finding something simple. I'm trying to demonstrate how variables work within templates.

I have this example:

For instance, "Hello {{request.user}}!"
</p>
<p>The above username was rendered out by inserting <code>{{request.user}}</code>.  

I want the display to show {{resquest.user}} as the raw code {{request.user}}.

I'm just having trouble finding info on how to do that.

I thought it would be something as simple as a filter

[slim night]

maybe by sending this string {{request.user}} as a value argument to the template

[balmy spruce]

Sorry, I just realized I forgot to say I'm using Django

[slim night]

in the render function

@indigo kettle perfect! exactly what I was looking for.

follow up question. I can get away with

{% verbatim %}
  {{request.user}}
{% endverbatim %}

as opposed to

{% verbatim someblock %}
  {{request.user}}
{% endverbatim someblock %}

Is that bad practice?

no

it's fine

you just have the ability to name the block in case you want to write the verbatim tag inside of the block

Eyo boys, can someone give me a hand here. I have form that creates recipes and i have a creator field which should display the user that created it

i have a user = models.ForeignKey(UserProfile, on_delete=models.CASCADE) in the model

but on the creation page it gives me the choice to pick every user i have registered 😄

i want to be limited to just anonymous or the current logged in user

[cosmic aspen]

i had this problem before which i corrected using Javascript , and it's not optimal att all , kinda Cheesy , but i believe oneToMany is the way to go

[halcyon lion]

yeah but idk 😄

i want to add some dependencies based on this author field

[cosmic aspen]

you can try changing your view , if you're trying the class based view change it to function based view , and then try to create the model(post for example) manually Post.objects.create(user=request.user) while maintaining the foreignKey relationship to Make cascading on delete

then some if statements in the view and some in the template html and you can have some customised logic runnig

[halcyon lion]

my play apparently is to overwrite the validation

so it sets the user before it validate

[halcyon lion]

Cannot assign "<SimpleLazyObject: <User: stefan>>": "Recipe.author" must be a "UserProfile" instance.

def form_valid(self, form):
form.instance.author = self.request.user
return super().form_valid(form)

i am lost 😄

Can someone pls help me?

Pls ping me when help!

[stable kite]

you forget to super().__init__() in __init__() of your manager

[stable kite]

it should be like

class RecordDataManager(models.Manager):
    """
    A manager class to deal with Cluster Size Limits,
    Field DataType Validation and JSON.dumping raw data.
    """
    def __init__(self):
        self.data_type_validators = {
            'BOOLEAN': BooleanValidator,
            'INTEGER': IntegerValidator,
            'FLOAT': FloatValidator,
            'CHAR': CharValidator,
            'DATE_TIME': DateTimeValidator
        }
        self.max_record_kilobyte_size = 2500
        return super().__init__()

    def validate_data_type(self, data, field_id: int):
        """

@nova sparrow Also if you're using WTForms you should have validation done within your form model, instead of the view. Such as ensuring that the fields are not empty.

@stable kite didn't get an error, the put request returns 200 but it doesn't actually update the values in the db

[haughty turtle]

@native tide you want to store a JSON file on your server and grab it later on directly ?

not sure about server thing but I want to grab the data from it. I'm just learning

what's the best practice?

[haughty turtle]

but where are your obtaining this data from? are you obtaining it from the client and sending it through fetch? is this something that you can save under a model there is a JSONField model.

you cant, you're gonna have to use HTML, CSS and most likely JS no matter what youre doing

django is just a backend

you still got frontend

well

depends on what you want

[native tide]

Quart/Flask is a great starter framework

for security, use DJango

for advanced, use aiohttp

[quick cargo]

meh security in Django is no better than any other

[native tide]

if your a show off...create your own framework

[native tide]

it has more available to it

[quick cargo]

sync frameworks:

• Django
• Flask
• Bottle
• some others

async frameworks:

• FastAPI
• Quart
• Sanic
• AioHTTP
• Starlette
• Japronto (no longer maintained)
• flacon
• some others

It's generally not good practice to use full path for an image

Try using a relative path

Try using alt attribute as well for testing

either wont work @noble smelt

[maiden tulip]

starting with web developing with the goal of becoming a fullstack dev, I guess I should use Django. Question is: I heard that Django is not the best choice for frontend. Do you recommend using another frontend framework and which one, or should I first learn frontend in django and later swap to another framework like react?
Do react and django combine well or how is it done?

[native tide]

Well backends that pair well with react would be the ones that are also in JS, so node.js (specifically express).

I'm using a Django backend with a React frontend and actually it's not too hard to combine them together

I have django render one page when the user visits the site and the rest is handled with React (technically as an SPA) and with react-router

[polar aurora]

how can i get a personal url?

[proper hinge]

What's a personal URL?

[polar aurora]

i want a url for the website designed by me.......with html

[proper hinge]

You mean you want to know how to host your website on the internet?

[polar aurora]

yah something like that!

because my code is running on local host

[proper hinge]

Hosting usually costs money, but there are some free hosting options.

Do you have a web server already?

[polar aurora]

like?

nope!

what is that?

[polar aurora]

what is a web server

[proper hinge]

Check out "pythonanywhere". If I remember correctly, they're targeted mainly towards hosting websites in Python. A different option is "GitHub Pages", which can host static web pages.

A web server is a computer connected to the internet that will host your website and allow people to connect to it.

[polar aurora]

ohhh i see

so is it is basically a computer right from where i'm writing my xml?

huh? @proper hinge

[proper hinge]

No. Where you write the code and where it's hosted aren't necessarily the same.

Hey guys, I have an old website just using basic html/css/js on a lamp stack, but I want to make the webpage more dynamic with a django backend. I'm trying to figure out if I can re-used the old frontend (css/html basic layout) while still using django, but I can't really find any resources.

I'm comfortable with python/html/css/js by the way, just not with the specific implementation/django. Does anyone know a straightforward way/resource to achieve this?

[zinc hill]

@light gale i think u can look up literally any youtube vids on django project it would show you how to do that

[light gale]

Most existing projects create or use a 'template', I would like to re-use as much of my frontend as possible.

or am I thinking weirdly? Maybe it is easier than it seems to me

[zinc hill]

ohhh I think u need to look into Django rest_framework

i am assuming you want ur Django only as backend right?

so this way ur front-end can just http request stuff to django back-end right?

[light gale]

Yes exactly

I have a 'website' set up using html/css/js, and I just want to connect some nice things using Django

[zinc hill]

yeah rest_framework django would be the way to go

[light gale]

for instance, grab my twitter feed autoamtically and update divs accordingly etc.

let me take a look, thanks

EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend'
EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.gmail.com'
EMAIL_USE_TLS = True
EMAIL_PORT = 587
EMAIL_HOST_USER =''
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = ''

[light gale]

so in Django, I created a post class which contains information about what I want to display on my index.html. loading 'posts' on index is working, but I now manually define my posts here (views.py):

# Create your views here.
def index(request):
    #return HttpResponse('createpost/index.html')
    post1 = Newpost()
    post1.desc = 'test'
    post1.url = 'https://www.google.com'
    post1.date = '20 JAN'
    post1.target = '_blank'

    posts = [post1]

    return render(request, 'createpost/index.html', {'posts': posts})

I'm using the default sqlite3 database, I'm guessing I want to store the posts in there and pull it? I'm not sure where to find info on how to do this though, can someone send me in the right direction?

I probably need to do that in models.py then, for reference, this is the code there:

from django.db import models

# Create your models here.


class Newpost:
    url : str
    date : str
    desc : str
    target : str

[native tide]

Yup, you'll need a model to save/retrieve your information.

[keen acorn]

Hey guys, I am still "new" to Django and I was trying to make a website that was integrated with discord. I already have everything built up so that if someone is given a role in our discord server, that roles gets associated with the "Member" model

I also figured out how to implement my own user models so I could use exclusively discord login

The last part I cant seem to find a solution or docs on how I would so that is the "Groups"

I want so that the "Roles" are the "Groups"

But I am not really sure how to reimplement that feature like I did with the Users model

If anyone had to do this in the past or knows something that could help me x)

[native tide]

@keen acorn you can link the Roles and the Groups models together with a OnetoOne field

Something like the current_user object. I dont have to pass that every time as an argument in my render_template function, but can access it in my templates

Hey guys, I'm doing the following stupid thing:

I want to use the price variable which I give with my view

it works here, when I hardcode it:

which is: ```html
<div class="grid-container-2">
<div class="Date-2"><p>Dec '20</p></div>
<div class="Text-2"><p>Today, the 14th of december 2020, I decided not to invest $5000 in BTC, and instead spend it on more worthwhile things. At the current rate, this means I have lost out on ${{price}} in profit.</p></div>
</div>

but when I try to implement it within my 'news' posts:

                    {% for new in news %}
                    <div class="grid-container-2">
                        <div class="Date-2"><p>{{new.date}}</p></div>
                        <div class="Text-2"><p><a href={{new.url}} target={{new.target}}>{{new.desc}}</a></p></div>
                    </div>
                    {% endfor %}
``` - > the new.desc contains the {{price}} as a string. is there a straightforward way to let it grab the price variable?

I basically grab it from here.

This is django by the way

[native tide]

@light gale new.desc is a string, and you have {{price}} within that string. You will need to pass that price from your view.

[proper hinge]

I don't think Django will parse the output of a variable and render anything inside that

[native tide]

So, what you could do is:

In your view, retrieve the price, then pass it into your template as a variable (such as price) to then be shown.

[light gale]

def index(request):
    #return HttpResponse('createpost/index.html')
    # post1 = Newpost()
    # post1.desc = 'test'
    # post1.url = 'https://www.google.com'
    # post1.date = '20 JAN'
    # post1.target = '_blank'
    # post1.save()

    posts = list(Newpost.objects.all())[::-1]
    news = list(Newnews.objects.all())[::-1]
    btc = btcresult

    context = {'posts': posts, 'price':btc, 'news' : news}
    return render(request, 'createpost/index.html', context)

def btcresult():
    url = "https://api.coindesk.com/v1/bpi/currentprice.json"
    response = requests.get(url).json()
    price = response['bpi']['USD']['rate']
    result = round((float(str(price).replace(',',"")) - 19065.72) * 5000/19065.72, 2)
    return result
``` this is my view

[proper hinge]

So you have to manually render it

[light gale]

I pass price using the view, but then the text gets loaded as a string

[proper hinge]

Create a template object from the description and render it manually

then pass the rendered output to your "real" template

[light gale]

class Newnews(models.Model):
    url = models.CharField(max_length=100,default=None, blank=True, null=True)
    date = models.CharField(max_length=100,default=None, blank=True, null=True)
    desc = models.CharField(max_length=300,default=None, blank=True, null=True)
    target = models.CharField(max_length=100,default='_blank', blank=True, null=True)
``` this is my news template, right?

from models

[proper hinge]

That's a model not a template

[light gale]

I just started with Django today, so it's quite fuzzy still.

[proper hinge]

Let me write up an example for you

[light gale]

Nice, that would work!

[native tide]

                     <div class="grid-container-2">
                        <div class="Date-2"><p>Dec '20</p></div>
                        <div class="Text-2"><p>Today, the 14th of december 2020, I decided not to invest $5000 in BTC, and instead spend it on more worthwhile things. At the current rate, this means I have lost out on ${{price}} in profit.</p></div>
                    </div>

Here you are passing price into your template (from your context). Good.

Here:

{% for new in news %}
                    <div class="grid-container-2">
                        <div class="Date-2"><p>{{new.date}}</p></div>
                        <div class="Text-2"><p><a href={{new.url}} target={{new.target}}>{{new.desc}}</a></p></div>
                    </div>
                    {% endfor %}

You are not passing the price. You are passing {{new.desc}} which is a string, and it will be rendered as one.

[light gale]

Thanks Nut, I thought as much, but it is unclear to me how to fix.

Mark is suggesting a template

so the only template I am using now is the index.html, which is basically the webpage.

(and some static entities such as css/js/media)

[proper hinge]

template = Template(desc)
ctx = Context(dict(price="123456"))
rendered_desc = template.render(ctx)

...
context = {'desc ': rendered_desc }
return render(..., context)

[light gale]

I guess this should be added to view.py?

[proper hinge]

If you don't render the description manually, Django just interprets the price in your variable as a literal string, not as template syntax that should be rendered. Hence you were seeing literally {{ price }} in your web browser.

[light gale]

wait, I am stupid. I can just do it muchu easier I think.

[proper hinge]

🤷 okay

But yes, that would go in your view

I didn't use the exact variable names you have but hopefully you get the idea

[light gale]

    posts = list(Newpost.objects.all())[::-1]
    news = list(Newnews.objects.all())[::-1]
    btc = btcresult
    news.replace('{{price}}', btc)

that would work.

[native tide]

What do you guys think about this landing page? I feel like I'm missing something.

I'm going to add an animated scroll prompt for the user. But if you guys have any additions kindly let me know!

[proper hinge]

Yes it would work but it's not really proper

[light gale]

This is monkeypatched together, but it works.

Golden rule of programming, that means it is not stupid.

It is clean but too much whitespace

or I guess bluespace

like look at it 'from afar' -> it is mostly nothing. Maybe go a bit bigger on the text?

[native tide]

Thanks 👍 I'll go with that, some bigger text and I'll have small interactive trinkets to fill in the whitespace

Appreciated

[light gale]

No problem. I'm by no means good at design, so take it with a grain of salt

looking sleek so far, gj.

new django question:

class Meta:
        db_table="Newpost_db"
        db_table="Newnews_db"

class Newpost(models.Model):
    url = models.CharField(max_length=100,default=None, blank=True, null=True)
    date = models.CharField(max_length=100,default=None, blank=True, null=True)
    desc = models.CharField(max_length=300,default=None, blank=True, null=True)
    target = models.CharField(max_length=100,default='_blank', blank=True, null=True)

class Newnews(models.Model):
    url = models.CharField(max_length=100,default=None, blank=True, null=True)
    date = models.CharField(max_length=100,default=None, blank=True, null=True)
    desc = models.CharField(max_length=300,default=None, blank=True, null=True)
    target = models.CharField(max_length=100,default='_blank', blank=True, null=True)

So I just created a new db table newnews, migrated, but it does not seem to work?

for some reason, all my newnews items seem to be added to the newpost database.

[fossil thicket]

anyone know what the easiest approach to creating and displaying the following would be:

df = pd.read_csv(
    "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/allisonhorst/palmerpenguins/master/inst/extdata/penguins.csv"
)

mask = (
    (df["species"].isin(["Adelie", "Chinstrap"])) & (df["body_mass_g"].le(3600))
) | df["sex"].eq("female") & df["year"].eq(2007)

df[mask]

so - here I want to be able to display a dataframe on a webpage (or the first 15 rows / something like that), and enable the user to create the mask, i'm not sure how I'd take input of something like that though - I think something like django would be overkill, but as I never touch web stuff I don't know what words to search for in order to find what other tooling enables this sort of thing.

[light gale]

my rest api seems to work, but then it just gets added to the newpost table instead. I probably just missed something, anyone have an idea?

[light gale]

Do you want it to be dynamic, or just load once then display statically on a page?

[fossil thicket]

dynamic - the mask here is created by the user and they kinda need to see how it looks

[light gale]

If it were static I'd just hardcode it if you want a quick fix, seeing that it is dynamic, perhaps django is the way to go. You can probably find a mask alternative in JavaScript, but I'm guessing you want to keep using pandas?

[fossil thicket]

i want to use pandas yeah, if it's django i won't bother tbh, too heavy

[light gale]

I'm not sure, if I were you I'd go the django route, but others might have an easier suggestion.

[fossil thicket]

yeah bc you know django XD

[light gale]

Exactly, I'm biased 😉

[fossil thicket]

but i don't want to learn a framework, i want to make a few buttons or some shit (presumably) and filter on them... hrm, i will leave it

[native tide]

@light gale what is your view for that API endpoint? are you using a modelSerializer?

[native tide]

@fossil thicket Using JS wouldn't be a bad idea. But also, if you use Django, if you are just rendering to a page it really won't take long to learn. You could do it in a day

[rancid owl]

I cry when cpanel default python version is 2.7 and I spent 2 hours trouble shooting why my code wont work haha

[vestal hound]

🥴 that looks weird

what are you trying to do

[karmic egret]

Hello, does anyone has any idea why my navbar for webpage shows like this

[lavish prism]

Hey @karmic egret!

Uh-oh! It looks like your message got zapped by our spam filter. We currently don't allow .txt attachments, so here are some tips to help you travel safely:

• If you attempted to send a message longer than 2000 characters, try shortening your message to fit within the character limit or use a pasting service (see below)

• If you tried to show someone your code, you can use codeblocks
(run !code-blocks in #bot-commands for more information) or use a pasting service like:

Hi oOoOkeem. I'm working on our CRM system and want to create a button that both opens a note-taking page in the app and calls a mailto: link

I've done this from JS before but now need to initiate it from the view

the mailto link is meant to use the default mailing client to create a email draft from a template which the use then finishes before sending

...so I can simply send the email from within the view

[manic ravine]

class Job(models.Model): # Create table
    title = models.CharField(max_length=100) # Create column # Create Title Field (small text field)
    # location =

    description = models.TextField(max_length=750)
    pub_date = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True)
    Vacancy = models.IntegerField(default=1)
    salary = models.IntegerField(default=500)
    # ctaegory = 
    expirience_years = models.IntegerField(default=1) 

error

raise exceptions.ValidationError(
django.core.exceptions.ValidationError: ['“” value has an invalid format. It must be in YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM[:ss[.uuuuuu]][TZ] format.']

any idea?

error from pub_date

[native tide]

@final sequoia so your API request is successful but it's not being saved to the database?

[golden pollen]

does webscraping count for this chat or is it only #unit-testing

[jagged lark]

This would be the right channel for webscraping, yeah

[golden pollen]

alright, well im simply just testing now, but I ran into a problem "object of type 'Response' has no len()" does it refer to the links im scraping which needs a limit?

line 19-20 does nothing for now

[final sequoia]

Yep, at least that’s what I think is happening

Hope this will clear why u should do it my friend

[native tide]

@final sequoia can you send some code

[wild echo]

hello

this gives me a 400 Bad Request

spent 50 mins debugging - help

backend

y'all this is a beginners level error please have a look at it idk why im getting a bad request ples halp

[swift sky]

im having issues using flask migrate

for some reason my app isnt being imported correctly

[native tide]

@wild echo We need a bit more info, what is the error explicitly saying?

[wild echo]

werkzeug.exceptions.BadRequestKeyError: 400 Bad Request: The browser (or proxy) sent a request that this server could not understand.
KeyError: 'name'

[native tide]

Ok, so let's start with KeyError: 'name'.

I'd print request.form to the console to see what it is and see whether it has the attribute name or not.

[wild echo]

i did

dump() shows all variables in the frame

and it says request is nothing

but why though look at my backend and front end, I submitted the form as a POST request

[native tide]

can you show us the complete view (function) for that URL

Ok, so you are rendering your form on a separate view and using that as an API for handling the form?

[wild echo]

rendering form on separate view

yes

this is the view of the form

[drifting furnace]

!code

[lavish prism]

Here's how to format Python code on Discord:

```py
print('Hello world!')
```

These are backticks, not quotes. Check this out if you can't find the backtick key.

[native tide]

hmm, okay, that's strange. I'd suggest you use url_for in the action of your form to redirect the request to that view. Try to see whether that helps, as it sometimes does.

[wild echo]

thanks

[wild echo]

action="{{url_for(safdsa)}}"``` like that?

[native tide]

Looks right to me. I'm more of a Django person so take it with a grain of salt

[wild echo]

yeah shalt try wait up

[tacit granite]

Hello everyone, I'm having an issue and was hoping for some assistance. I'm building a quiz application in Django, where we ask a question and the user has 4 multiple choices they can choose from. Once they make their selection, it would take them to the results page which show them if the answer was correct of not with an explanation. The problem is that I'm unable to bring up the User's selection, the section just stays blank with no errors and no database entry. I have enclosed my code here @https://gist.github.com/RemeoLong/eb05b2a28df7d98f649fa20af4f00049 . Any help would be appreciated

[wild echo]

nope

didnt work

[wild echo]

didnt work, stil giving the same Bad Request error

[native tide]

Ok, and in your console, it's making POST requests to that URL correct? Or is the error before the request is made?

[wild echo]

the error is after the request has been received, it visits the POST URL and then comes the Bad Request error

127.0.0.1 - - [15/Dec/2020 19:28:34] "←[35m←[1mPOST /fan/profile/settings/update HTTP/1.1←[0m" 500 - POST request

[native tide]

Okay, do you know what line is bringing the error:
KeyError: 'name'?

Is it from retrieving the data from the field or setting data to the session?

[wild echo]

newname = request.form['name']```

this is the line where the error happens according to my debugger

[native tide]

Okay. Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't believe that buttons have an action attribute:

<button class="btn primary" name="add_elem" action="submit">Update Profile</button>

They should have the type="submit".

<button class="btn primary" name="add_elem" type="submit">Update Profile</button>

[wild echo]

haha I thought the same, did the same change, and still saw the same error, and btw yes i believe you're right

[polar trellis]

your inputs are also missing the type parameter

[native tide]

Also set the type of your inputs

Yeah ^^

[wild echo]

ohhhh thanks will try now

still giving the same Bad Request error

OMG

FIXED IT

THE ERROR WAS - the HTML never rendered the updated HTML, it was always loaded from cache and hence the old version of the HTML without names was rendered

[wild echo]

and this too

[native tide]

yeah, I was looking over the code and I didn't see anything wrong. I was so confused haha

[wild echo]

thank you so much y'all really appreciate all of you taking interest to assist me, thank you so so much! ❤️

[native tide]

all good 🙂

[steel geode]

Guys, I will open a hosting company. I need a theme for this. I need help.

[hybrid bobcat]

hello, so i encountered this issue where when i called a file outside of the folder, that called file throws import error (the error file is importing another file), but when i instead, just run the error file and not from the file outside of the folder, the import error disappears
here's my folder structure for brief

(file)main.py
(folder)app--
            |--(file)app.py
            |--(file)views.py
            |--(file)__init__.py

so app.py import views.py and perform some tasks, when i call app.py, everything works fine, but when i call app.py from main.py, it throws an import error at the place where app.py imports views.py

[slow shale]

@hybrid bobcat #❓｜how-to-get-help

[hybrid bobcat]

ok

[rain bison]

hi

does anyone have experience with threejs

[native tide]

@hybrid bobcat are you using flask

[hybrid bobcat]

yea

might that be the issue?

[native tide]

seems like you need to use Blueprints

you're getting the circular import error?

[hybrid bobcat]

no

just a traceback "no module named blahblahblah"

[native tide]

can you show us the imports

[hybrid bobcat]

and not just when importing view, i tried it for other files that are not even importing flask, still import error

[hybrid bobcat]

sure

so this is my folder structure for other stuff

main.py
app ---
      |-views.py
      |-utils---
               |---form_handle.py

so in the main.py, i call views.py, and views.py imports utils/form_handle.py's class liek this from utils.form_handle import RegistrationForm and then the no module named utils occurs after i execute main.py

but when i just execute views.py directly instead of calling it from main.py, the error doesnt happen

[native tide]

and what's the import in main.py?

[hybrid bobcat]

from app import app, views
app.app.register_blueprint(views.pageS)
app.app.run()

so i called app.py, added views as blueprints, and then in views. i import utils/form_handle.py, this is where the error occurs

[native tide]

So, in the file you want to import, did you create a Blueprint object? Did you then import that Blueprint object within the main.py and register it?

Because that is what has to be registered.

[gray stone]

how to get a moving background like YAGPDA website

[hybrid bobcat]

yes, in app.py , i defined blueprint

so i am able to use it in main.py after importing app.py

[steel geode]

Does anyone sell themes for my hosting company?

[native tide]

Can I see what you defined as blueprint?
app.app.register_blueprint(views.pageS) doesn't look like you're registering the actual blueprint, but your views.

[hybrid bobcat]

ok

[gray stone]

how to get a moving background like YAGPDA website

[hybrid bobcat]

wait nvm, i didnt define blueprint in app.py, but i defined app, so i can call blueprint in main like app.app.blueprint since the base app is the app.py

and app.app is the Flask()

[native tide]

I'd rather see some code.

[gray stone]

@formal vault

[hybrid bobcat]

sure

this is app.py ```
from flask import Flask
app = Flask(name)

and in main.py

from app import app, views
app.app.register_blueprint(views.pageS)
app.app.run()

and views.py is just a bunch of views

[rain bison]

i am sooooo anoyed

three js wont work with javascript when it is meant to uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[native tide]

@hybrid bobcat I'm not too sure on those imports. To simplify it, couldn't you register the blueprint in app.py?

[halcyon lion]

boys, how do i make it so when i click my dropdown menu the buttons below are not showing 😄

[native tide]

and where did you initialize your blueprint object?

[hybrid bobcat]

ah yes, ofc i tried to, but when i tried to import views.py in app.py to set it to blueprint, no module named error occurs

[native tide]

@halcyon lion using JS?

[gray stone]

@shadow hornet

[native tide]

@hybrid bobcat That's not how you set blueprints though, unless I am missing something. Where did you initialize your blueprint object?

[native tide]

Why are you pinging mods

[gray stone]

to answer i mean i will ping some helper

[hybrid bobcat]

i didn't i just copied code from stack overflow, so i defined blueprints by app.register_blueprint(arg)

[gray stone]

@sharp tusk

[native tide]

@hybrid bobcat looks to me like you're using blueprints wrong.

@gray stone that's not how it works

[hybrid bobcat]

hmm but it works tho

except the import is not

[gray stone]

Nah ill show

[hybrid bobcat]

urs is more like a html/css problem, prolly not ask here

[native tide]

so it's not working

[hybrid bobcat]

the blueprint?

[gray stone]

aint this a web dervelopment channel?

[native tide]

Well, you're meant to firstly initialize your Blueprint object:
example_blueprint = Blueprint('example_blueprint', __name__)

Then in your app.py (wherever you Flask object is), you have to register that blueprint.

[hybrid bobcat]

yes but it's web dev for python, like backend frameworks and python stuff

[hybrid bobcat]

i see, so do you think it might be the cause for the import error in views.py?

[native tide]

This is a good channel for HTML / CSS help, but pinging everyone under the sun so they drop what they're doing to help you isn't good. If no one here can help I suggest you do some more research on your problem while waiting for a reply@gray stone

[gray stone]

ohhh backend dang srry but the YAGPDA web site still cool tho..

[hybrid bobcat]

ah i messed up, you can also get html/css help here but except not pinging people frequently

[native tide]

Yes I think you've made a mistake with the blueprints. I'd recommend following this:

https://realpython.com/flask-blueprint/

[hybrid bobcat]

ok thx

[gray stone]

ohh ok ok how to get a moving background like the one in YAGPDA web page

[hybrid bobcat]

u can try using bootstrap

[gray stone]

u mean learn it or copy paste ?

[native tide]

🤦‍♂️

[gray stone]

what?!

[hybrid bobcat]

bootstrap have like some css stuff that can prolly help you animate your backgroudns

[gray stone]

damn u r profesh man

[hybrid bobcat]

im not

[gray stone]

anyways last question

[gray stone]

yes u r

[hybrid bobcat]

i cant even import a file

[native tide]

Can't you just set a video for your background

[gray stone]

do u think web development will last for like the next 5-10 years?

[native tide]

Also it's unclear what you mean by a "moving background"

[golden pollen]

what?????

[gray stone]

u move the mouse it moves

[gray stone]

suh boddy

[hybrid bobcat]

i think what he meant is like animated backgrounds moves depending on the cursor

[native tide]

That's a JS problem, bootstrap won't do that. Bootstrap doesn't really do animations, just CSS styling. There's some JS libraries for what you're talking about

[hybrid bobcat]

and btw Nut, i did define blueprint and add views to it in views.py

[hybrid bobcat]

yea prolyl

[native tide]

can you show the code?

[hybrid bobcat]

sure

[gray stone]

ok wtb the 5-10 years question

[hybrid bobcat]

pageS = Blueprint('pageS', __name__) and then i access route() from pageS

[gray stone]

bc i heard web industry is dying

[hybrid bobcat]

cuz that stupid GPT-3 AI stuff?

[native tide]

and who did you hear that from? 😄

[gray stone]

yes they said a new tech will poop up like every 20 years

[hybrid bobcat]

20 years is still a long time lol

[native tide]

it's even less than 20 years, haha 😄

as a developer you should be learning what's new

keep in the loop and stay trendy

[gray stone]

i mean web is here since 2010 at least right?

[hybrid bobcat]

and also clients dont even know how to use GPT-3 so we're good for now

[native tide]

That will never replace web-dev

[hybrid bobcat]

web dev has been existing for a long itme

and all GPT-3 does is frontend, it can't help you build more complex stuff

[gray stone]

idk dude but i think for now is a bad sentence wtb after 5 years

[native tide]

There's wix, there's wordpress, there's shopify. How come web-devs are still getting salaries > $100K? Because they can create intricate and personalized solutions. You can't do that without coding.

[gray stone]

im sure after at least 2 years everything will change lol look at wix

[hybrid bobcat]

lmao wix is just a static site builder

[native tide]

Web-dev isn't getting anywhere any time soon.

But some technologies will.

[gray stone]

Anyways im just looking forward to the future

[native tide]

I could probably have better chances learning node.js over django

but I don't know

[gray stone]

bc im asking is it worth learning its stuff

[hybrid bobcat]

web dev is not the only path, theres a lot more you can try, but web dev is not dying

[native tide]

yes it is

if anything it's growing

[hybrid bobcat]

they're different stuff tho

[native tide]

not really

[hybrid bobcat]

like express.js and django?

[native tide]

yep

[hybrid bobcat]

then django better

express.js is kinda similar to flask

[native tide]

more opportunities with node.js technologies

[hybrid bobcat]

the way you use it

[native tide]

but yeah django is better

[gray stone]

like app dev and shit?

sorry i mean app dev and ml maybe

[native tide]

unless you like math ML won't be enjoyable

[hybrid bobcat]

app dev like what? desktop apps? games? or automations? or a software?

[native tide]

but always give it a try 🙂

[gray stone]

app dev like android ios and maybe desk stuff windows maybe

[hybrid bobcat]

web dev is also a form of app dev i think, if you actually apply some backend stuff

[gray stone]

iv learned some SQL for ML before and it was hard af

even tho it doesnt need that much math but still

[hybrid bobcat]

it does lmao, if you actually get into it

[gray stone]

u mean SQL ? or ML ?

[hybrid bobcat]

ML is more related to Computer Science comparing to web dev and shit

[hybrid bobcat]

ML

[gray stone]

yeah and shit. i know lol

[gray stone]

im talking abt SQL its kinda not that much maths in it but its kinda tough still (

[hybrid bobcat]

if you're tlaking about some simple app dev, it just require you to have some knowledge in the tools, but computer science is where the math is

[gray stone]

Algorethim and shit right?

[hybrid bobcat]

yes, like problem solving and approaches to solve stuff with programs
