Hm

I guess I could help

[native tide]

So many ads that it can bring a AMD Eypc 128core CPU to its knees

[spare iris]

pls I haven’t coded in a while that I basically forgot most of python

[native tide]

xd

You'll find it again

[spare iris]

just doing hackerrank

[hybrid bobcat]

@native tide so what did you ping me for? do u have an answer to my question?

[native tide]

@hybrid bobcat no just your profile pic

[glossy arrow]

Lol

[native tide]

@hybrid bobcat ask @glossy arrow

[glossy arrow]

Hm?

[native tide]

Aboo may have an answer to your issue. They're our local Flasker

@glossy arrow this is his question

[glossy arrow]

Lmao, I'm not amazing with flask, mostly just adequate

[native tide]

Wait for your issue wouldn't you want to remove the <path: part?

@hybrid bobcat I assume

I'm a bottle guy

[hybrid bobcat]

why?

[native tide]

But if its like bottle remove the <path part

[glossy arrow]

Most micro frameworks work the same

[native tide]

you already know the path

you just want the file

[hybrid bobcat]

i dont know the path, theres a lot more static files in the folder

[glossy arrow]

So your code can't locate your static files?

[native tide]

@app.route('/static/css/<filename>')
def static_files_css(filename):
    return send_from_directory('static', filename=filename)```

Try this

filename can be an absolute path + filename or filename

[hybrid bobcat]

no, so like originally, the default flask static file endpoint will be able to let my templates reference them, but like yesterday that works, suddenly it doesnt today

no idea why

i changed nothing

[glossy arrow]

Huh

Maybe set the static files manually?

app = Flask('flaskapp', static_url_path='/static')

[native tide]

Aboo

TIL:

you can use CSS to do absolute positions

[hybrid bobcat]

i did

[native tide]

TIL

[glossy arrow]

Cool

[native tide]

did you know you could do position: absolute?

then left: x
top: y

[toxic flame]

lol

[glossy arrow]

Lol

[native tide]

Why did no one tell me this before

this is magic

[glossy arrow]

I'm not that great with css

[native tide]

I can cram more ads onto a page

MORE ADS!

[glossy arrow]

I know enough to get by though lol

[native tide]

shoves 80k ads into a page designed to fit on a iPhone screen

[glossy arrow]

Lmao

[native tide]

yea

I'm not a HTML guy

does it show?

So yea no ideas

[vestal hound]

in this case you might be looking for fixed

[native tide]

@vestal hound why not absolute?

[toxic flame]

i believe fixed is to ur screen width

[vestal hound]

I would imagine you want your ads to be visible wherever you scroll

that would be fixed

[toxic flame]

also sticky is fun to play with owo

[native tide]

@vestal hound I don't get static

so static means it will always flow with the page in an absolute position

[toxic flame]

why don't you google it

I'm sure google will show up an article that will display what you want to know 40% more detailed

[native tide]

I did google it

I'm still confused.

not a web developer

magic

[toxic flame]

oh

[native tide]

yea

so my understanding is fixed is fixed in it's viewport

[toxic flame]

Well

[native tide]

@toxic flame

so

ugh

hm

So the view port is like looking out a car window

and a fixed position is like a tree

the viewport can move and the tree will stay in the same position relatively?

Did I get that right...?

So static would follow the view

[native tide]

is it possible to add multiple of the same object to django's m2m field?

[dapper tusk]

I think django lets you set a custom through model which could have a count field

[muted grove]

Hello! I am using Flask to build a web portal to connect to a Discord bot. I am running into a bit of an issue with one specific part. I need the user to be able to enter in a date and time into a form, but the users could be anywhere in the world. I then need to be able to translate that time, which is theoretically set from any timezone in the world, to a UTC timestamp. Anyone know how I might do that?

[vestal hound]

static is the default

okay so

basically everything in HTML is a rectangle.

by default, those rectangles will appear in the order you define them

left to right, and top to bottom.

so if everything on your page is static, it'll follow that order

however, you can also change the position attribute of individual elements, which will change how they render.

in particular, fixed and absolute take elements out of that flow entirely

and position them on the page according to coordinates that you provide

the difference between fixed and absolute is whether they take reference from the viewport (fixed) or their parent element (absolute).

[vestal hound]

yes, kind of.

[opal needle]

Where’s a good place to get started with django html and css

Also do I require to know is ?

Anyone actually using Fabric2 for Django deployments? Seems like the complexity for the upgrade has everyone using some v1 base fork for Python3 compat.

[umbral hatch]

Why am I getting this https://pastebin.com/v9wCsP0m error in Django when trying to use a model from another app? django.core.exceptions.AppRegistryNotReady: Models aren't loaded yet. I have searched online quite a bit and cannot find any information that helps me. Is it common to have to import models from other apps, or am I using poor design? ```python
from django.db import models
from django.apps import apps

User = apps.get_model('discord_user', 'User')
EnumModel = apps.get_model('registry', 'EnumModel')

Create your models here.

class HairColor(EnumModel):
pass

class EyeColor(EnumModel):
pass

class Race(EnumModel):
abbreviation = models.CharField(null=True, max_length=25)

class Sex(EnumModel):
abbreviation = models.CharField(null=True, max_length=25)

class Character(models.Model):
first_name = models.CharField(max_length=15)
last_name = models.CharField(max_length=15)
height = models.FloatField()
weight = models.IntegerField()
image = models.ImageField(null=True, upload_to="character_images/")
hair_color = models.ForeignKey(HairColor, blank=False, null=True, on_delete=models.SET_NULL)
eye_color = models.ForeignKey(EyeColor, blank=False, null=True, on_delete=models.SET_NULL)
user = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
sex = models.ForeignKey(Sex, blank=False, null=True, on_delete=models.SET_NULL)
race = models.ForeignKey(Race, blank=False, null=True, on_delete=models.SET_NULL)
dob = models.DateField()
is_deceased = models.BooleanField(default=False)

def __str__(self):
    return f"{self.id}: {self.first_name} {self.last_name}"

``` This is the file that errors on line 4: User = apps.get_model('discord_user', 'User'). The User variable is only used in the "user" field under the Character class user = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE)

[indigo kettle]

can you do from discord_user.models import User ?

instead of this apps.get_model thing?

@umbral hatch

I'm not really sure of the structure of your models here

is User a model inside of discord_user?

[umbral hatch]

Yes

[umbral hatch]

And I used that previously but I had some other error I think had something to do with "circular import"

This is User model ```py
from django.db import models
from django.contrib.auth.models import AbstractUser

Create your models here.

TODO: Discord-based user

class User(AbstractUser):
pass

[indigo kettle]

ah ok

you can define foreignkeys with string

[umbral hatch]

Oh, that would be simpler I guess. Is that what is normally done?

I guess I wouldn't really need to import the models then?

[indigo kettle]

user = models.ForeignKey('discord_user.User', on_delete=models.CASCADE)

I would do it this way to prevent this problem, yes

[umbral hatch]

except for EnumModel, I'll see if I get the same error for that

yep

exact same issue, and I need to import EnumModel to inherit the class

[umbral hatch]

After I used a string in the foreign key

User = apps.get_model('discord_user', 'User', require_ready=False) this "worked" but the documentation states "When require_ready is False, get_model() returns a model class that may not be fully functional (reverse accessors may be missing, for example) until the app registry is fully populated. For this reason, it’s best to leave require_ready to the default value of True whenever possible." If someone knows of a better solution please let me know

[indigo kettle]

I've never used apps.get_model before

so I'm sure there's a way to do it without that

what does your registry.models look like?

maybe you can use the string foreignkeys there as well so that you do not have to import from whatever this models.py file is

[umbral hatch]

@indigo kettle registry.models looks like this ```py
from django.db import models
from django.apps import apps

class EnumModel(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=40)

def __str__(self):
    return self.name

class VehicleColor(EnumModel):
pass

class VehicleMake(EnumModel):
pass

class VehicleType(EnumModel):
pass

class Vehicle(models.Model):
character = models.ForeignKey("Character", on_delete=models.CASCADE)
license_plate = models.CharField(max_length=25)
vehicle_type = models.ForeignKey(VehicleType, null=True, on_delete=models.SET_NULL)
vehicle_make = models.ForeignKey(VehicleMake, null=True, on_delete=models.SET_NULL)
vehicle_color = models.ForeignKey(VehicleColor, null=True, on_delete=models.SET_NULL)

class WeaponType(EnumModel):
pass

class Weapon(models.Model):
character = models.ForeignKey("Character", on_delete=models.CASCADE)
weapon_type = models.ForeignKey(WeaponType, on_delete=models.CASCADE)

class LicenseType(EnumModel):
pass

class LicenseStatus(EnumModel):
pass

class License(models.Model):
character = models.ForeignKey("Character", on_delete=models.CASCADE)
license_type = models.ForeignKey(LicenseType, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
status = models.ForeignKey(LicenseStatus, null=True, on_delete=models.SET_NULL)
``` I switched to using string foreignkeys, and it appears that only works for models defined in the same app. I am getting a lot of errors saying something along the lines of registry.Weapon.character: (fields.E307) The field registry.Weapon.character was declared with a lazy reference to 'registry.character', but app 'registry' doesn't provide model 'character'.

oh wait

I need to specify the app duh. Should be civilian.Character

[indigo kettle]

yep exactly

[umbral hatch]

@indigo kettle That worked, thanks for the help

[indigo kettle]

[mortal mango]

I set up a django project on ubuntu with nginx and uwsgi. The problem is that none of the images are loading. When I go into inspect > console, it says the server responded with 500 when trying to get the images. Does anyone know how to fix this? I tried changing permission to 777 but that didn't work.

[barren moth]

Glad it was recommended.

FastAPI is seriously powerful.

[native tide]

How do I use JavaScript with Flask?

[toxic flame]

just include it in your template

[barren moth]

Thinking about it now, I'm not sure if that is pretty standard across the other libs or not

[native tide]

but what if I want it separate

[toxic flame]

Then serve static files

[native tide]

ok thanks

[turbid estuary]

any way I can create a confirmation message in flask?
I made a delete button and I want to prompt user "Are you sure you want to delete this?"

[marsh kite]

can anyone help me with spoify API called spotipy?

[elfin ermine]

!paste

[weary belfry]

hello

Can anyone tell me that how to give user only one option to input the value
like either he uploads the text file or copy paste the text code in the flask page
?

[shrewd oasis]

Hi

I new here.

Does anyone know django rest framework?

[opal needle]

do you guys recommend i learn web developement using python?

or the generic languages

[brisk spear]

Depends on u

What excites u more

[silver plank]

what exactly do you mean? django and flask only lets you write the backend.. you wont get around HTML/javascript either way

[brisk spear]

Hey amnesia

I have a problem

Are u well versed with flask and its database?

[silver plank]

not even a little bit, I've never used Flask at all actually

sorry

[brisk spear]

Ohk

Anyone good with flask and its database pls ping me

[native tide]

Hello i have a problem with my venv in django

all package is installed to

Python packages not installing in virtualenv using pip
When i launch my project he dont use the venv but the AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\Lib

[wicked elbow]

to plain? it just doesnt feel right... just cant put my finger on why

[wicked elbow]

use pipenv instead of venv. pipenv just works a lot better in my opinion

[vestal hound]

honestly

this kind of looks like it was built in 2005 or something

no offence

well

not all of it

the input part does

also "Creator" isn't aligned

which makes it look weird

or at least it doesn't look aligned

[uneven wren]

Hi am trying to do pagination in Django using javascript and am pretty done, but now i ve run to a problem. Website is not translating django tag urls. How can i solve this ?

not whole code.

data.map((restaurant) => {
container.append(`
          <div class="col-xl-3 col-lg-4 col-md-6 mb-4 restaurant">
  <div class="bg-white rounded shadow card card-hover">
      <a class="card-link" href="{% url 'restaurant_detail' slug=restaurant.slug %}"> ${restaurant.name}</a>
</div>
</div>`)}

[wicked elbow]

thats what im saying. its not set in stone. its bottom aligned

[vestal hound]

colour scheme seems a bit off

[vestal hound]

what?

[wicked elbow]

whole site is that color scheme.

[vestal hound]

how did you come up with it

[wicked elbow]

im saying it doesnt look quite right. like it works, but not super modern. and the creator is bottom aligned with the username

[vestal hound]

I perceive it as being misaligned

might be a function of different font size and font weight

shrugs

anyway the main thing is the input

when was the last time you saw an input field with a full black border

on a social media website

[wicked elbow]

i pulled the original scheme of a website scheme builder. then it was to plain so i added the dark redish brown/green because they are complimentary colors to the blue and tan

[vestal hound]

🥴

well

you do you

it looks a bit odd to me

[wicked elbow]

whole scheme

[vestal hound]

what font is that

is that Arial

I think you might want to consider a different font

[wicked elbow]

my font choices font-family: Quicksand, Helvetica, sans-serif;

[vestal hound]

it's giving me 2000s vibes

I suspect

your line-height is too low

incidentally

I feel like the alignment of almost everything is weird

[wicked elbow]

i dont have quicksand so its pulling Helvetica i think not sure

[vestal hound]

ye that seems like it

I Googled Quicksand and it doesn't really look like what you have there

[wicked elbow]

its a common font, my pc is just really old

[vestal hound]

@wicked elbow some small things

also...I get the vibe that you are randomly throwing colours around

I can see no discernible pattern

to when you are using which colour

which confuses me, as a user

[vestal hound]

in the sense of "when to use which colour in the colour scheme"

I hope you will forgive my bluntness

[wicked elbow]

the blue is used in page link bars, the tan is the side bar colors, the green is anything editable, and the dark reddish color is for NSFW posts.

the blue is also used for SFW posts

[vestal hound]

yes, I can see that

but WHY?

[wicked elbow]

i drew them out of a hat? lmao

[vestal hound]

like you don't just arbitrarily assign colours

to actions

okay

for example

look on Instagram

and tell me

what you associate black with

the website, not the mobile app

never mind, I'll just tell you

everything black is clickable.

[vestal hound]

of all these, I think the only one that is reasonable is the last

the rest send mixed signals

okay I suggest

go read some UI/UX articles on colour palette construction and usage

because (correct me if I'm wrong) it REALLY feels like you're just throwing colours around randomly

[wicked elbow]

ya. nothing is set in stone. its my style sheet, and its only like 7 lines to completely change the scheme.

[vestal hound]

no

it's not about which colours you choose for your scheme

it's about what each colour MEANS

[buoyant shuttle]

anyone used web2py

[vestal hound]

okay for example

for my website

everything in the primary colour is an action

100%

and the primary colour is not used for anything else

[wicked elbow]

i got a thumbs up from my web designer friend who works for a firm in NZ.
thats how my site is too. its uniform across the pages.

[vestal hound]

okay then

if you're fine with it

so am I

just one last thing

"web designer" can mean many things

there's some overlap between frontend dev, UI designer, and UX designer

but each of them do unique things

and all skillsets are necessary to make something good

that's point one

actually, I'm just going to stop at point one because the rest is irrelevant

[wicked elbow]

eh, i just know theres like 10k lines of code to put this whole thing togther. worked on it for about a month now

not perfect, by any means. im wearing to many hats

[vestal hound]

what generic languages are you thinking?

[opal needle]

Js, php

[wicked elbow]

theres a lot more options then that

[opal needle]

Well that covers the use of python correct ?

Cause you need html and css

[vestal hound]

huh.

well

I mean

for backend the popular options are Java, PHP, Python, and JS

[wicked elbow]

c# and ruby as well

[vestal hound]

do you intend to be working with anyone?

and how good of a coder are you?

ye I forgot Ruby

[opal needle]

Well I would say I know more than the basics of python

And basic html

[vestal hound]

hm.

how many languages

[opal needle]

And no by myself

[vestal hound]

do you know

[opal needle]

Actually know or just the minimal basics

[wicked elbow]

i dont know flask, so cant comment, but django to me had a huge learning curve. its like its own language in itself

python wise

[vestal hound]

I would suggest you stick with Python

if you're still a beginner

might as well leverage your existing ability

and get good @ one language

that

[opal needle]

But wouldn’t learning django be more harder in the long run ?

[vestal hound]

or do a full JS stack

[vestal hound]

harder than?

[opal needle]

Hm ok

Php or js

[vestal hound]

...why?

[wicked elbow]

not any different then php or js. a language is a language. each has their own quirks

[opal needle]

Hm k

I just heard from people django is very hard to learn

[vestal hound]

meh

I don't think so...?

but anyway

that's not something you'll know

until you try

different people have different learning speeds

[wicked elbow]

you can learn flask as well, its not django thats hard, its the syntax you have to use to accomplish things, but again thats true of every language. its still python you just have to do things a certain way

[opal needle]

Hm k

Thanks

[wicked elbow]

basic django is easy, once you get the hang of it.

[uneven wren]

wish i could help, i went with front end pagination. so i could control it better

[vestal hound]

^

[uneven wren]

i didnt wanted the pagination with numbers so i ve tried something like this

its pretty much working, but its taking the ulr as string

[wicked elbow]

im still not much help. i do everything through an api. everything is done in json

[uneven wren]

i was googling like a mad man, but found nothing sadly

[outer pier]

does anybody know how to refer a model to more than one type of users
i have normal users and some other special users . I want to refer both this user into one model . so whenever I call normal users django should automatically switch to that users and whenever I call special users django also should do so . with my limitted knowledge I cant use foreign key . Is there any better solution . somebody help plz

[vestal hound]

what?

I didn't really understand that

you mean like

uh.

why can't you just have a BooleanField or somethign

[outer pier]

but how

[vestal hound]

honestly

I don't really get what you're trying to do

maybe you can give an example

[outer pier]

say that model is posts . so whenever a normal user want to post something django post model should refer to the normal user so that he can post posts . or else it should refer to the special users who can post

[vestal hound]

what do you mean "refer"

[outer pier]

just we do the same with foriegn key

[vestal hound]

so what makes a special user "special

"

[outer pier]

if there is no second user could we easily do it with foriegn key no ??

take normal user as may be like teachers and special users as students . just like so .

[vestal hound]

uh

this doesn't really say much.

what is the difference?

in terms of attributes

[outer pier]

actually i am doing a project on social media, the normal users are the people like us . special users are the organisations who registered in this social media

I created a model shared so that both users can access it . so that I dont want to repeat the models in both of this model . All I want to switch according to users .

is there any way to achieve

[vestal hound]

but why

do you need

2 separate models

?

for "normal" and "special" users

I don't see the point

[outer pier]

because both they have different functionalities . like an organisation user have branches . normal users doesnt have those functionalities

[vestal hound]

branch = another model?

[outer pier]

No , like branches of a head organisation . I am just mentioning the differences between those users and the difference in their functionalities

but both of them have some functionalities in common . so i decided to create another app. but all i want to switch between users

[vestal hound]

uh

I feel like

you don't have a very clear data model

so I would suggest

you work on that first

[vestal hound]

my point is this

you're talking about

business requirements

but my question is about how those affect your architecture

[outer pier]

let me clear it first . A user is simply a facebook type users . but an organisations users are those who can raise their company , invest on other companies . etc .... their functionalities are entirely different . but they have something in common . like both they can create posts . engage in group activities .

so and so ... so all i want to make their common tasks into one seperate app ...

[vestal hound]

...so what's your data model?

[outer pier]

u mean the common database model right ?

[vestal hound]

no.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_modeling

in other words, what's your plan for reducing business requirements into code

[outer pier]

sorry i dont have a vast knowledge

[vestal hound]

okay

let me

explain

[vestal hound]

IMO

you are asking the wrong question

because

you only understand

what you want from a business perspective

but not

how to plan

the data/software architecture appropriately

[outer pier]

yah , may be right . I wish I know it all

[vestal hound]

so I would suggest

[vestal hound]

doing more research on data modelling

to be better able

to ask the right questions

[outer pier]

ok thankyou . but atleast can you explain how to achieve method overloading in django

[vestal hound]

look into abstract models

[outer pier]

could you suggest some good reference .

[vestal hound]

nope

[tiny patio]

Or does anyone want to work on a communal project

[wicked elbow]

@vestal hound i made the input just for you, the color scheme and font ill work on. still working on where to put the reply at, i dont like where they are either

[toxic flame]

Are you using websockets owo

[wicked elbow]

who?

[mortal mango]

I have a django project that's running on an nginx webserver with uwsgi. The problem is that none of the images are loading. When I go to example.com/static/gradient.jpg it works. The images loads. But when I go to the website, it's giving me 500 when trying to load the image. Does anyone know why this is happening?

In the image below, the app directory holds settings.py and the other "admin" files. The urlshort directory holds the django app files, like my templates, models, views, etc. All my images are located in the static directory. In my settings.py I have urlshort/static as the STATIC_ROOT.

I think I found the solution

urlshort/static is the wrong directory. Does anyone know how I could change it to /static? I tried changing the STATIC_ROOT directory in settings.py from urlshort/static to /static/ but that didn't work. It's still trying to get the images from urlshort/static.

[wicked elbow]

serving from nginx not django. django doesnt serve files in production mode. so youll have to modify from nginx. at least thats my guess @mortal mango

[mortal mango]

so in my .conf file?

@wicked elbow

# the upstream component nginx needs to connect to
upstream django {
    server unix:///home/internet/AtomURL/short_url.sock;
}

# configuration of the server
server {
    listen      80;
    server_name atomlink.tk www.atomlink.tk;
    charset     utf-8;

    # max upload size
    client_max_body_size 75M;

    # Django media and static files
    location /media  {
        alias /home/internet/AtomURL/urlshort/media;
    }
    location /static {
        alias /home/internet/AtomURL/urlshort/static;
    }

    # Send all non-media requests to the Django server.
    location / {
        uwsgi_pass  django;
        include     /home/internet/AtomURL/uwsgi_params;
    }
}

this is my .conf file

[wicked elbow]

i dont know anything about nginx configs unfortunately, im just telling you django doesnt serve files in profuction. your actually better off moving your static files to a seperate server and linking to them there

i use aws s2 for my static files, as for uploads, the correct path should be set in your database once its complete i would assume, havent tried yet

[toxic flame]

Just install whitenoise and pillow.

Does anyone have solution for Flask not serving static files? I'm using the Flask default url base endpoint /static for static files, and that's how my template files reference them like href="/static/css/main.css" or smth like that. I'm currently using the Flask server for that and am not planning on using Nginx or any other web servers just yet. I swear it was working fine just yesterday and now it's not today, the web page looks crap without css and favicons. I even tried clearing the browser cache and cookies and trying different browsers but still the same results, does any have a solution to this?

Hello I'm looking for some help with Django-tenants.
My project is a work order management system for mills. I have a postgresql database where each schema is a different mill location. How would I be able to switch between locations(schemas)? currently I do this

 <li>
  <div class="container-fluid">
   <div class="col-xl-6 col-md-6 mb-4">
    <a href="http://{{ mill.domain }}:8000/index">
    <div class="card border-left-primary shadow h-100 py-5">
    <div class="card-body">
    <div class="row no-gutters align-items-center">
    <div class="col mr-2">
    <div class="text-xxl font-weight-bold text-primary text-uppercase mb-1">
    {{ mill.domain }}                                          </div>
   </div>
   </div>
   </div>
    </div>
    </a>
    </div>
    </div>
    </li>

Which works in a testing env but not when trying to deploy

Essentially I want to have a card with the name of the location (Location1) and when you click on that card it will take you to the index page for that location. Which would have the domain https://location1.workorder.com

[vestal hound]

don’t you think the input looks more modern

there is literally NO app or framework I can think of that uses square black border in 2021

[wicked elbow]

thats the exact copy of from youtubes comment section. thats not a square black border

unless your talking the buttons border

[vestal hound]

no I mean

the old one

[wicked elbow]

lol i know i changed it the youtube comment bar, and reply bar. it took like 10 minutes to do

[vestal hound]

okay

I know what turns me off

for the button

it’s too dark

accessibility issues

so basically there’s a guideline that says

you should have a certain contrast ratio

for all your text

this is especially important for visually impaired users

I’m eyeballing it but my gut feel is that the shade is a bit dark

so it might be hard for some people to see

AESTHETICALLY it’s not a problem (and would be subjective anyway)

[wicked elbow]

button only shows when the comment input has been entered. and the button clocks in at 10.01 and chrome says its good in terms of contrast. its not black on white. thats like a 21, but anything above like a 4 is considered ok in chrome

[vestal hound]

also

re: positioning

https://learnui.design/blog/the-3-laws-of-locality.html

this might be useful if you haven’t read it

[vestal hound]

okay then

I’m not good with colours tbh

my colour vision is average to below average

so I’d say go with what Chrome says

also I’m seeing it with night mode on

what’s your font size btw

[wicked elbow]

the logo i need to make darker, because that tan is to light on white. just havent done it yet

im using a 12px standard, links and headers are 16 i believe, but headers are bold as well. some things are 10px. looks good on my pc 1920x1080. might be large on smaller screens. i need to convert to em

i lied, the font size in that comment section is a 14px

[vestal hound]

12 is very small.

Google minimum webpage font size

[wicked elbow]

i dont like large fonts, but i could see 12px being to small. like i said stuff like the timestamps are 10px on the comments. i had the font bigger, but it seemed to big

[vestal hound]

it felt really big

when I changed

but I’d say the guideline exists for a reason

I can personally make do with 12

and honestly it’s a PITA to handle 16 on mobile

you run out of space super fast

I guess the question is: how much does accessibility matter to you?

[wicked elbow]

okay so if you look at that picture, the username is 16px, the creator is 12px, the comment is 14px, and the timestamp is 10px. which is why it may look slanted to some.

[vestal hound]

not slanted

I think the RATIO is good

but the comment is basically body text

which might be a bit small.

is all

it’s not egregiously tiny

[wicked elbow]

yea, fonts/sizing/spacing i planned on working last. its a whole job in itself. im just trying to make the user not scroll to see content. like i think youtubes fonts are to large honestly. and thats running 1080p. sizing is one of those dumb cases. that some things are good for some people, but to small for someone else and vice versa

[vestal hound]

are you planning on making a mobile version?

[wicked elbow]

already have one. and it looks good on my phone

[vestal hound]

on desktop you have a ton of space so you can change fonts later

but IME

increasing font size on mobile is nontrivial

all of a sudden you have two buttons that can’t fit next to each other

[wicked elbow]

http://www.safespace.fyi:8000/m/

[vestal hound]

which is just 😦

[wicked elbow]

yea, i ran into that issue. but my mobile site cant be zoomed. so i dont have to worry about it not fitting

[vestal hound]

huh

I don’t get it

what does zooming have to do with it

[wicked elbow]

i guess nothing. zooming isnt the same on mobile as it is in a desktop browser. my bad

ive converted anything that doesnt need to be text it icons. so font size dont matter so much

there is a bug in that in case you look at it. the register will register you, but itll white screen you. i fixed it, just havent updated the code yet

[vestal hound]

are they easily understood by users

okay again IME

[wicked elbow]

i google the icons and modify to my color scheme

[vestal hound]

after I started user testing

I realised HOW UNINTUITIVE SOME ICONS CAN BE

or rather

how much potential for misunderstanding

so I redesigned more or less everything to either be text only

or icon and text

[wicked elbow]

i suppose my text is a little small on mobile, at least in the browser dev tools

[vestal hound]

because there were times I was thinking “obviously this icon is appropriate”

and my user would be confused af

[vestal hound]

it gets worse for older people

etc.

and when you have relatively low contrast AND small text

it can be hell to read

is why 16px is the reco

[vestal hound]

in general, not your site

[wicked elbow]

lol if the site takes off, the first person i hire is a UI designer. cause i just dont have an eye for it. i mean ive only been doing this for 2 months, and wearing all the hats mediocrely. theres like 300 some files to be the site that it is. its insane.

im also changing the timestamps to be relative to now. so itll say 10m ago or whatever, just not been a top priority. trying to shrink things that dont need to be big to not be distracting

[lament charm]

Is building APIs from scrapped data something people do? I want to scrap my countries covid-19 data from the government website and build a graphql api from it.
I'm not exactly sure where to start though. I want to be able to host the API somewhere online and people can query from it and get the data. Could anyone point me in the right direction please?

[formal axle]

how would i make a website responsive lol, i looked on youtube but they didnt rlly help

[nova nacelle]

Use bootstrap

[formal axle]

ok thanks lol

@hybrid bobcat Have you referenced your HTML pages to your CSS file with the following line: <link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ url_for('static', filename='css/main.css') }}"> If you link your CSS files like this, it should definitely solve your issue and therefore should render your webpages

[vestal hound]

yeah UI/UX is a huge field

[hybrid bobcat]

well yea i tried it, didn't work, i ended up having to create my own views for static files and it solved the issue

[vestal hound]

it's not as fluffy as many people think tbh

and when a site isn't designed with UX in mind it shows

[cloud kestrel]

hey guys, what module do you recomend more. flask or django

[native tide]

@cloud kestrel i love flask. it is simple and easy to use and you can expand it as much as you want. django is the opposite, but more powerful from the start.

[marble pasture]

hey there, i am new in django. Is there any mentor/project to join for a practice?

[native tide]

i have a question regarding streaming data in flask. my problem is this: i have a route that makes various API calls to update a dataframe. This takes several minutes. I want to run this route once a day in the morning with cron-jobs.org, but now that i deployed it to heroku, it sends a timeout after 30 seconds. The heroku timeout variable cannot be altered. But i thought i could send data after some seconds until i finally return success after updating.

i thought a way to do this is to yield some simple response while the function is running. does someone have a good and simple example how to do this in flask?

you should remove those parenthesis

Hello, am trying to get cookies and django work for my cart in Django app.
Now ive run into problem.
cookie before paid..

{
"143":{"25":{"quantity":3}},
"None":{"25":{"quantity":3}}
}

when i pay i need to delete user and his cart from my cookie am using this:

def update_cookie(self, response):
  user_id = f"{self.request.user.id}"
  cookies = self.request.COOKIES
  cart = json.loads(cookies["cart"])
  del cart[user_id]
  response.set_cookie("cart", cart, max_age=settings.EXPIRE_DATE)

"{
'143':{'25':{'quantity':3}},
}"

where is the problem ? bcs then i cant use it as an object in my js even if i use JSON.parse its still a string

[real mesa]

dict can't have duplicates right?

[north cedar]

Yeah duplicate keys

But for values, no

[real mesa]

yeah it's working fine for me in a scratch file

import json
cart = '{"143":{"25":{"quantity":3}},"None":{"25":{"quantity":3}}}'
cart1 = json.loads(cart)
del cart1["None"]
print(cart1)```

hey, I'm new here, how do you get python highlights?

got it!

[uneven wren]

but am parsing this is javascript then like this:

let cart = JSON.parse(getCookie('cart'));
if(cart == undefined){
    cart = {}
    document.cookie = "cart=" + JSON.stringify(cart) + ";domain=;path=/;" + getExpire();
}

and result is always string

[real mesa]

what question do you have about this?

[uneven wren]

still the same why am i getting string in js when am parsing this from cookie:

"{
'143':{'25':{'quantity':3}},
}"

[real mesa]

Can you post the before (python) / after (JS)?

[real mesa]

It looks like you have a dupe key

[uneven wren]

its fixed now, but wdym by dupe key ?

i dont have duplicate keys

that "25" and "25" is in other object

[real mesa]

'25':{} was in both main keys. Because you were getting unexpected counts of results that Could* have been because of what you were calling out of them

I could be wrong, I didn't fully understand your question

[formal gull]

im starting to learn how to make websites and want to incorporate python into this learning. should i be going full into learning django or just use flask? django seems harder but im just looking for opinions if its worth it to just do more django

[native tide]

if you want to learn, use flask. it's a lot more "hands on" in a sense. in django, a lot of the stuff is already pre-made and it's a bit less "hands on" as you're using django premade models etc.

[formal gull]

exactly what i was looking for 🙂 thanks. ill go with flask

[native tide]

i think you will end up gravitating towards django in the end, it's great to have a grasp of both though... that's how i started.

[formal gull]

flask seems easier to "get started" from what i am seeing as well

[native tide]

once I did a good chunk of flask, i actually started looking at django and I hated it so much, now I can't even remember how to make an api in flask lmfao

yeah it's a bit more beginner orientated, I think it has more guides/tutorials for beginners

and iirc codecademy has a course on Flask, it's pretty good

[formal gull]

ill have to check it out. yeah i started something in django and it was quite overwhelming tbh

[native tide]

the only reason I switched from flask -> django because looking at local job markets django was 2x in demand to flask

so just keep the long term in mind

but for fundamentals it's great

[formal gull]

yeah thats what im looking for is the fundamentals. as long as it isn't like a terrible transition to django in the end then 👍

[native tide]

oh yeah you'll be fine, the knowledge on what to do carries over, its just the how which changes. and all that changes is you'll just need to learn the django syntax

[formal gull]

thanks. helps me a lot. was getting discouraged by starting in django lol

Hi All! Im trying to use Zeep for sending a SOAP request, the thing is that the request needs an attachment I cannot figure out how to send it. my request should look like:

<soapenv:Body> <ws:uploadContent> <!--1 or more repetitions:--> <uploadContentBeans> <number>1315856</number> <!--Optional:--> <revision></revision> <!--Optional:--> <iteration></iteration> <objectClass>Document</objectClass> <contentType>PRIMARY</contentType> <!--Optional:--> <limitedDownloadAccess></limitedDownloadAccess> <!--Optional:--> <securityLevel></securityLevel> <fileName>test.txt</fileName> <dataHandler>cid:test.txt</dataHandler> <checkinComments></checkinComments> </uploadContentBeans> </ws:uploadContent> </soapenv:Body>
As you can see we have fileName and dataHandler that references the name of the file to upload, but how can I attach it to the request?

Is there a way in flask to only allow a user to access a route by being redirected? Like they cannot simply type the route in the browser of something, they have to fill a form, and then be redirected to the route. if they simply type the route in the browser, they should be redirected back to the index page.

I would like to use profile_form.instance.class_key in other views or make it a global variable.THe profile_form.instance.class_key variable only works on the register view('home.html' template).How can I make it work in other templates too? views.py

def register(request):
    registered = False
    if request.method == 'POST':
        user_form = UserForm(data=request.POST)
        profile_form = UserProfileInfoForm(data = request.POST)

            user = user_form.save()
            user.set_password(user.password)
            user.save()

            profile_form.instance.class_key = request.user.class_key
            profile = profile_form.save(commit=False)

        profile_form = UserProfileInfoForm()

    return render(request, 'home.html', {'user_form': user_form, 'profile_form':profile_form, 'registered' : registered})
I defined the forms and the models.
``` please help me...

[native tide]

request.session['key'] = value then you can access this session within other views

what is considered advanced django? I haven't learnt anything new for django in a while now.

[warped timber]

Is there a way to have a flask error handler only apply to a specific path?

like only on /api/*(so I can return json error responses) but returning the default html error pages anywhere else

[toxic flame]

Really, they are the same, but beginning with flask is a good option

I started with django though

[formal gull]

yeah just from the hour i've put into flask now i feel i am lot more comfortable then i was jumping into django lol

[toxic flame]

Django is huge though ( using the default django starting )

I have seen flask and it does seem alot easier than django

But if I were to give an advice to my younger self, I'd tell myself to start with compiled lagnauges instead lul

[wicked elbow]

can you do this?

def create(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
  serializer_class = CommentLikesPostSerializer
  return super().create(self, request, *args, **kwargs)
``` change the serializer for just the create method?

[nimble epoch]

yep but i dont know if it works with returning it or not

[wicked elbow]

should call the the default create im pretty sure. imma try it anyways haha

[nimble epoch]

but it should work

dont return it and i tried it actually with save methods of models

like super().save()

but anyway see how you do it

[wicked elbow]

since i have foriegnkeys, i need different serializers for the post, cause otherwise it doesnt work correctly

man, i make way to many migrations, good thing this is just the development database

why do peoples django code snippets look so huge? all of my stuff looks tiny compared to their code

[mystic wyvern]

hi. i have a simple question when i finish my project i have put him in a public server but if i search how to do this all of them tell me to buy something call domain and server ,should i buy them or can i do it for free like i make them?

Hope that's is clear.

[wicked elbow]

im using AWS servers for my project, youll want a domain though if you want a unique link for your page, most are pretty cheap, some as low as 8$ a year. but some hosting places, give you their domain to use. so up to you

[mystic wyvern]

@wicked elbow ok, i also want to know something ,if i done all thing (buy domain and server) the website will be work all time

[wicked elbow]

servers are extremely expensive if you buy one for yourself, you can host in a bunch of places for little to no cost as long as there isnt heavy usage. if you have those 2 or even just a server, you app will run as long as the server is online

[mystic wyvern]

@wicked elbow thank's for help ❤

[amber oxide]

Is there anyone who would like to help me with django urlpattern?

[austere acorn]

sure

[amber oxide]

I want to create endpoint like 'admin/create/<ip_address>/", but I dont rly know how to create regex for this

[austere acorn]

ok

first you have to be carefult cause /admin is already used by django

are u aware of that ?

[amber oxide]

oh yes, u right

[austere acorn]

u can use a different name in development

[amber oxide]

Ill change it for api/create/

[austere acorn]

ok

so

path('/api/creat/str:ip_address',view,name=name)

[amber oxide]

Btw, I've created regex for retrieve it look like this r'^(?P<ip_address>(?:(?:0|1[\d]{0,2}|2(?:[0-4]\d?|5[0-5]?|[6-9])?|[3-9]\d?).){3}(?:0|1[\d]{0,2}|2(?:[0-4]\d?|5[0-5]?|[6-9])?|[3-9]\d?))/'

[austere acorn]

this is how it's done

i am not that good at regex

u can just use variables like that

then in views

the function should accept two arguments

def view(request,ip_address):

then u can do regex on it in the view

there are a lot of other data types, other than <str:>

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.1/topics/http/urls/

[amber oxide]

yeah, I know about this types

btw I'm using DRF,

[austere acorn]

DRF ?

[amber oxide]

django rest framework

I'm affraid that this pattern will match anythink I put to the url

[austere acorn]

you can then check for the ip

in the view

match the string with how a proper ip address should look like

[amber oxide]

so I can do sth like validation in the view, right?

[austere acorn]

yes exactly

[amber oxide]

sounds good

[austere acorn]

imo that would be cleaner

[amber oxide]

yeah, u right

[amber oxide]

thank you a lot!

[toxic flame]

I can't seem to get the ip address

[native tide]

am i missing out on anything by using functional views > class based views, for django?

[toxic flame]

its the same

Both of them can do anything

Hello,
I am trying to make a lister Item web app with HTML Sass and JavaScript, which let the user add items in a list and removing them at will. I have also provided a search feature so when the list goes long, User can find an Item easily to maybe remove them. ‘Now I wish to add a feature that prevents adding the same item more than once.’
I have tried to get the HTML Collection of the list items present in the list and making it an Array and looping through it to make sure if the list item to be added is already present.
I even tried to compare their textContent and after console logging them,they are same but for some reason when I compare them, they are not same.
I tried some other methods
Nothing worked…
Please help me!
You may visit this link to see the code right into your browser
https://github1s.com/RocTanweer/FrontEnd/tree/master/Projects/ItemLister
Just to to ./Projects/ItemLister
Thank You

[versed python]

@glacial orchid How exactly are you comparing the elements in the array? That sounds like the correct approach

[glacial orchid]

I am getting the main list and containing it in a variable

then getting all the 'li' as HTML Collection

converting them into array

looping

The fact is I am creating a list item same as an item already present
and them I am comparing if they are equal
But they are not
Even though they look exactly the same

If I cant compare them correctly, How am I suppose to prevent duplication?

I just need to know how to compare properly

Their tags are same
their class are same
Textcontent
button
everything

[versed python]

Can you point out the exact line where the comparison is being done?

I can't find it

[glacial orchid]

Since they were not working yesterday
I deleted them
you want me to show you?

If so

wait a bit

[versed python]

yeah please do

[glacial orchid]

comparing the first child of new list item and existing items

on console logging
they are same but on comparing it gives false

See there are two items in console

one is what I created
and other is first element of the already existing lists

they are same

but comparing does not work

Here this pic's code

Note: I am not appending the newItem here thats why its not added into the list here

[versed python]

Instead of comparing the elements themselves, try to compare the innerText attribute

The reason that comparison doesn't evaluate to true is because the Teo elements you are trying to compare are different nodes

Hi, I'm trying to use Jinja to pass values from an excel sheet to an automation script as the API has only custom data types, so I can't pass arrays to it. Someone recommended me to use jinja/mako as the values would be hard-coded. I believe I would have to extract the values from my excel sheet in a separate script and then use Jinja to pass them on to my main automation script. I do not have any experience with template libraries. Is there anyone who help me get a better idea about this whole process? I'm not able to find many examples where Jinja is used to pass values from one python file to the other. Thanks.

I basically want to define the datatypes in my main script and use them as placeholders to pass my values to iteratively.

Can I make a website without HTML/CSS/JS just python?

[night patrol]

nope

ah this bad news

[night patrol]

you need html

html and css are very easy

[native tide]

yeah but it is hard

[night patrol]

no

[native tide]

How?

[night patrol]

these are not even considered programming languages

[native tide]

ah nice

[tame vector]

and dont use PHP, php is hard

[verbal obsidian]

Just because they are not considered programming languages doesn't mean it cannot be hard for someone

I'm terrible at photoshop for instance.

IME

most people who say that HTML and CSS are easy have not fully apprehended their complexity

just my two cents

hey

i know python and python and mysql and i want to make web with login system.
how i do it?

just learn to use flsak/django and add the sql database+ code to there

what's PHP?

is that python web dev?

[nimble epoch]

php is a diff language

not related to python

@vestal hound Definitely, it might not be hard to make some basic static html pages with simple css but the real deal is when you start with more complex frameworks such as Vue.js, React and what not, Scss, perhaps bulma, boostrap, tailwind.. etc suddenly you don't make simple static pages but Full fledge web sites, SPA's with tons of api's and we are not even talking about making it all beautiful and sensible which is a whole new story.. hell there are a hundreds of things I'm missing in this comment, there is way much to it than 'css and html is ezz lmao'

[native tide]

ah ok thanks

[night patrol]

well, my opinion about django is that you don't really have freedom to add your own functionalities.Most things are built in adn it s hard to implement your unique ideas.

But i only know django and I can't compare it with node or orher backend frameworks

so

if anyone can?

[elfin ermine]

is it an option to make site without flask or django

[nimble epoch]

its all wrong you can customize it

[elfin ermine]

html and css for front end then python and mysql for back end

[vestal hound]

yeah.

CSS animations

flexbox

accessibility concerns

there's a lot of detail.

[night patrol]

STILL NOT A PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE

sorry for caps

[vestal hound]

actually, HTML and CSS are Turing complete

of course, in a practical sense they're not really programming languages in the same way

that doesn't change the fact that it's not easy to do HTML/CSS well

[wicked elbow]

@vestal hound since you said it didnt look modern enough, what do you think about that? put a lot of work into it yesterday

[vestal hound]

defo looks a lot more modern I gotta say

not sure why your text looks a bit gritty? could be just compression

not really sure about the positioning of the icons though

also correct me if I'm wrong but

new comments will appear at the bottom, right

[wicked elbow]

image i think, the text username is 18px, text is 16.

[vestal hound]

so why is the comment input at the top

[vestal hound]

principle of locality

[vestal hound]

thank you for your commitment to accessibility

btw did you check your contrast ratios?

[wicked elbow]

so if theres an entire page of comments you dont have to scroll to the bottom to leave a comment

[vestal hound]

why not sticky to bottom?

is a design choice though

up to you

that's how Spotify does it too

[wicked elbow]

and yea, eveything checks out in chrome

[vestal hound]

yeah my worry is just that

with the icons there

it'll get quite chonky

if there are many comments

wait sorry

what's the reply icon for?

[dense niche]

Guys, I'm losing will to live over my project. My Flask endpoints work nicely in dev but none work in production on PythonAnywhere:

Flask:

...
...
from flask_cors import CORS, cross_origin


blog_blueprint = Blueprint('blog', __name__, url_prefix='/blog', template_folder='../../templates')

CORS(blog_blueprint, resources={r'/*': {"origins": ["https://www.coinme.com"], "allow_headers": "Access-Control-Allow-Origin"}})


@blog_blueprint.route('/fetch_current_rates')
@cross_origin()
def fetch_rates():
    ...
    ...
    return jsonify({'status': 'success', 'usd': usd, 'gbr': gbr, 'eur': eur, 'czk': czk, 'ngn': ngn}), 200

React front-end:

useEffect(async () => {
        const config = {headers : {"Access-Control-Allow-Origin": "*" }};
        const resp = await axios.get("https://www.mydomain.com:5000/blog/fetch_current_rates", config);
        ...
        ...

  }, []);

this is what I'm getting in the console:

[wicked elbow]

its only loading to 20 comments, and no replies, the rest will be pulled in. i thought the same thing, goes back to screen sizing though. to big of a screen and buttons on say the left side look bad

[vestal hound]

do you know what CORS is

like how it works

[vestal hound]

responsive deisgn?

[dense niche]

cross origin resource sharing

it determines which domains will be allowed to consume resources or data from endpoints.

[vestal hound]

ye basically

okay I don't know how Flask handles CORS but

you should inspect your headers

[wicked elbow]

the biggest thing is i want it to look the same everywhere you use it so i dont want to make it side buttons on some and under the comment on others

[vestal hound]

hm

why?

[wicked elbow]

ease of use. sites are one thing to impliment that in. say the difference between m and desktop versions, but comment sections, you dont want people to have to constantly shift what they know depending on their device. if i built an app though, they would be on the right side as butons

[vestal hound]

I think mobile vs desktop is fine

[vestal hound]

if you mean this with respect to different screen sizes

fair enough

[wicked elbow]

im getting there though work in progress. id have never guessed comment sections actually took so much to make them work, like 500 lines of code for just the react code to make it work like that

[glacial orchid]

Seems like you haven't read what I explained
I have already tried what you said yesterday...
After console loggin their inner text they looked same but false when compared

[wicked elbow]

JSON.stringify what your comparing

@glacial orchid

[formal gull]

i have this html (using bootstrap. i dont fully understand html yet). how would i update this without a refresh from python using flask?html <textarea class="form-control" id="exampleFormControlTextarea1" text="test" rows="12">{{ result }}</textarea>

[wicked elbow]

use javascript. only way to update static pages without refresh

[nimble epoch]

if you wanna prevent the page refresh you gotta use javascript axios or fetch api or ajax you cant do it in python

[covert trench]

try add / at the end of url on frontend, I had similar problem

[formal gull]

alright thanks. ill have to look into simple javascript then i guess. i dont need it for design or anything. thanks @wicked elbow @nimble epoch

[nimble epoch]

yvw

[formal gull]

you would say that would be a simple task?

[nimble epoch]

what would be a simple task?

[formal gull]

refreshing an element without a page refresh

[nimble epoch]

of course

[formal gull]

okay ill do my research. thanks

[nimble epoch]

yw but i suggest you to go for axios

[wicked elbow]

i mean i wouldnt call javascript a simple task. minor modifications are simple, but using a framework is complicated. React, Vue, Angular are sites completely built in javascript

[nimble epoch]

true

[mystic grove]

def login():
    if current_user.is_authenticated:
        return redirect(url_for('home'))

    form = LoginForm()
    if form.validate_on_submit():
        user = User.query.filter_by(email=form.email.data).first()
        if user and bcrypt.check_password_hash(user.password, form.password.data):
            login_user(user, remember=form.remember.data)
            return redirect(url_for('home'))
    else:
        flash(u'Login Unsuccessful. Please check username and password', 'danger')
        return render_template('login.html', title='Login', form=form)```

I am not able to login despite writing this piece of code

when i enter the id and password which I have registered into my database and hit login, the password field gets empty and nothing happens.

[native tide]

How can I get the query params for a url like this:
http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/auth/#access_token=........&expires_in=315360000&token_type=bearer&refresh_token=......&account_username=....?

I tried request.GET and printing *args but it's empty.

[wicked elbow]

in django?

[native tide]

yep

[wicked elbow]

self.request.query_params.get('param_your_looking_for', default=None)

then you'll do an

if VAR is not None:
  do something here!

[native tide]

my query_params is empty, probably because the URL in question is in the following format:
<base_url>/#key=value
instead of the usual
<base_url>/?key=value
possibly?

[vestal hound]

?? that's not what hashes are for

[native tide]

I don't know anything about query params

[wicked elbow]

oh yea, without the ? you dont have query params

[vestal hound]

<base_url>/#key=value <- ill-formed URL

# is used to identify fragments

actually it might not be ill-formed I'm not sure if = is a valid identifier hm

[wicked elbow]

and you can use them to focus the screen

[native tide]

Oh I see:

    The fragment identifier introduced by a hash mark # is the optional last part of a URL for a document. It is typically used to identify a portion of that document.

The part after the # is info for the client. It is not sent to the server. Put everything only the browser needs here.

[wicked elbow]

so if your id="Footer" and you do #Footer itll focus your footer

[verbal obsidian]

#foo will focus in any of your id='foo' elements

[native tide]

oh damn, so there is no way for me to extract that info from the URL

[verbal obsidian]

why not

http://<base_url>/?test=1 should work just fine

[native tide]

http://<base_url>/#test=1 in my case it's like this, with the fragment

and that's not sent to the server

[verbal obsidian]

can you not change it

from # to ? ?

[native tide]

it's an external API, I can't

Oh...

 The access token is returned to your application in the fragment as part of the access_token parameter. Since a fragment (the part of the URL after the #) is not sent to the server, client side javascript must parse the fragment and extract the value of the access_token parameter.

A bit more reading on my part would've solved all my doubts

[verbal obsidian]

Makes sense haha

I was about to tell you that you could configure your webserver to add a cookie or header to the request with the full raw URI

[native tide]

I was going to start my own imgur API package for easy usage, so I wanted to automatically get those parameters, but I guess the user will just have to do that part themselves

Hi Im using Django and was trying to do an order_by on a queryset after already having used distinct. I get the error that I cannot do that since they need to be on the same field. Is there any other way to do this since I want them to be on different fields?

hey, im using requests-html to do some webscraping. How would i find the meta information?

Hi Im using Django and was trying to do an order_by on a queryset after already having used distinct. I get the error that I cannot do that since they need to be on the same field. Is there any other way to do this since I want them to be on different fields?
@sullen basalt Do two queries using the value of one into the other one or just get the distinct query and then use sorted() on the object list

[formal gull]

im trying to get my information through a python script running in the back ground. i am reading that i can use ajax to call python in javascript. am i on the right track you think to get a python script information through axios essentially?

[nimble epoch]

axios does this exactly but its eazier than ajax. search the differences on google if you want to. and ye you can use api to send or get informations

[formal gull]

ahh okay so that is built into axios then essentially? i dont necessarily need to make an api i dont think? what i am making is just needing user input to run through a python (selenium) script that is running and then print results into a text box

[nimble epoch]

oh ok

[formal gull]

would this need an api? nothing needs to be stored at all either

[nimble epoch]

so what is going to be requested?

[formal gull]

i believe what is being requested is the information from the python function that gets run?

[nimble epoch]

ok imagine you have something like localhost:8000/users/ that displays all users or a post request you want to send data from frontend so when you want to get or send data you add the location that you want to get or send data to. get it? like (localhost:8000/users/)

[nimble epoch]

and that view or class function has a route right?

if im right it was like @route('/path/') in flask

[formal gull]

yeah i do have the page routed like that

[nimble epoch]

so get that by that

[formal gull]

sorry i am extremely new to flask and web stuff so trying to break down things to understand 🙂

[nimble epoch]

its all ok😉

but i forgot flask

[formal gull]

im slightly confused get what by the route?

the python function?

or in axios?

[nimble epoch]

you want to get data from the function that you defined

[formal gull]

so axios.get('something.py')?

[nimble epoch]

like imagine a function that displays all users like return User.objects.all()

[nimble epoch]

emm no not the file name

the route

http://localhost:8000/path/

got it?

[formal gull]

partially i believe

[nimble epoch]

and i dont know something

i dont know what you gotta use in flask to intract with frontend

or maybe nothing while you are doing it in the same address

i dont know much about flask

[formal gull]

gotcha. i have an idea. ill keep reading google

thanks 🙂

[nimble epoch]

yw

[formal gull]

first real web project i am doing so a lot of terminology i am learning now lol

well more so what the terminology actually means and does lol

[elfin bluff]

this my code for login:

when my login is successful it renders index.html

I can see index.html but url don't seem good as i need 127.0.0.1/ after login

[haughty cape]

can someone help me

[polar nova]

This is the normal url pattern what is the problem you have?

[elfin bluff]

i dont want to see doLogin, i need 127.0.0.1 after login

actually when i go to :
127.0.0.1/login i get login form
127.0.0.1/doLogin process my form and provide response

[glossy arrow]

Guys, I made a web framework, but my 404 and 500 error pages aren't working, I get the following error when my code tries to render it https://paste.pythondiscord.com/ebuyuqenoj.sql

[young hemlock]

Hi everyone, I was wondering if anybody had advice how to display data from an api to a view through django

[quiet ridge]

hey can you please tell me how can I understand concept in flask
Bcoz the syntax are bit hard
and I m not getting any resource that can help me
please help

[nimble epoch]

the best information about this error is that your templates can not be found

[glossy arrow]

Yeah, but Im passing the absolute path

If I do it from the shell, it works fine

but when I import it, it doesnt work fine

[nimble epoch]

check you directories

what framework?

[nimble epoch]

if you real beginner you should watch a video on youtube

[quiet ridge]

I have tried them but still can't get the concept

[nimble epoch]

what you mean concepts?

[glossy arrow]

Me?

[nimble epoch]

yep

[glossy arrow]

My framework

I made one

[quiet ridge]

like the SQL Alchemy is bit tuff

[glossy arrow]

I've deployed it to pypi

[quiet ridge]

and it is the most important part I think

[nimble epoch]

there are two books

[quiet ridge]

please tell

[nimble epoch]

ok wait

[quiet ridge]

but for beginners

[nimble epoch]

you should first learn pure sqlalchemy

[quiet ridge]

okay then

[nimble epoch]

forget about the book let me send you a link

https://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/13/orm/tutorial.html

[nimble epoch]

i meant the web framework that you using

if you are using

[glossy arrow]

I made the web framework, to run it im using cherrypy

Its a WSGI framework

So I can use anything to run it

[nimble epoch]

oh so this is your own framework?

[glossy arrow]

Yeah

[nimble epoch]

so you gotta tell us whats the solution lol

[glossy arrow]

Lmao

Im trying to figure that out

[compact mason]

I'm assuming you are using django. The problem here I believe is that you are just rendering index.html. This is basically saying that when you go to doLogin and the login details are correct, render the index.html file. You never tell the url to move to the index page. What you could do instead is make a redirect to the link of the index page (see https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.1/topics/http/shortcuts/#redirect)

Tho you don't really need a new view to act as the middle man between login and index. You could just add that logic to the original login page itself

[austere acorn]

can't he just redirect to the other view instead ?

[compact mason]

Yeah I said that in the message above that one

[violet vector]

what's the right way to set per-request timeouts in a flask app served by gunicorn with gevent workers?

EDIT: answering my own question, use gevent.Timeout like so:

with gevent.Timeout(time_in_seconds, exception_type_to_raise_on_timeout):
    do_some_work()

[supple vault]

hey

After a request I get back stuff that is encased in {}, that is JSON correct?

[quiet hornet]

Yeh sounds like it

[supple vault]

calm

[silver pollen]

Not sure which channel is the right one for this, but anyway I have a flask API where I POST commands and the command can take up to 30 minutes to run on the server. Is there a standard way to somehow get the progress of this task to my client?

maybe if i post a generated hash with the command and the server stores the progress in the database with this hash, then i can poll it..?

[cerulean vapor]

@silver pollen the way I'd handle something like this is, I'd create a db table that functions as a work queue. When someone submits a task, it gets put into that queue, and they can then visit a page that looks up the job ID for it to see if it's finished.

and you can also have it so that any new submissions to the queue purge anything older than X days or what have you, so it doesn't get too unwieldy.

[silver pollen]

@cerulean vapor yes something like that is what i thought about, but my problem is i can't return the job id because that would close the request and the job is not run. that's why i thought maybe the client can generate the job id and send it. if it already exists (which is extremely unlikely) the server can return an error.

[cerulean vapor]

@silver pollen You don't want to have the client generate a job ID, because the universal rule of client-server anything is you cannot trust client input

If the job in question takes that long to run, then you need to find a way to set up a job ID for it before it's triggered

[silver pollen]

yes i guess so, but this is for an internal app at work so i kind of trust all users. but maybe it would be nice to have an endpoint where i can request a job id and then send that in the post request.

[cerulean vapor]

I think that makes sense

the job ID can be logged in the backend, and then can be used later

[silver pollen]

i'll try something like that, should work.. thanks.

[dawn heath]

any help ? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/66269789/how-do-i-load-dyanamical-values-from-a-nested-json-in-reactjs

[wicked elbow]

array.map()?

[dawn heath]

How do I map the keying dynamic and represent in a table

[wicked elbow]

well as long as you json always looks the same you can destruct to

data.map(({title, items, subobj:{subtitle, querries}) => {
  <h1>{title}</h1>
  <p>{items}</p>
  <h3>{subtitle}</h3>
  <p>{querries}</p>
})

im not sure what your asking. if items is also an array, you just map inside the map

Hey there, I want to host a site that will showcase a random portfolio website. Is <iframe> the way to go?

[timid forum]

Hi, I am looking for someone to help create a website that utilizes some music machine learning algorithms I created. Anybody who knows Django and/or JavaScript please DM me if you are interested! Also would like someone who is actively working, because I need to finish this project fairly soon 😬 . A developer who can do frontend and backend would be a godsend....

[wicked elbow]

with someones permission? sure. without their permissions no. iframes can be broken out of though

[stable root]

@wicked elbow With permission of course, and that's my concern with the iframe, but I can't think of a better way.

[wicked elbow]

iframes have major security issues. better just to link to them then do display them

[stable root]

I guess I can just host some JS to do a redirect to a random site too. Then there's no issue.

With permission. 😉

[wicked elbow]

take a screenshot of them and display that, with a link to the site or something

[toxic flame]

You can also save their public html into a folder and display it inside a div

[wicked elbow]

you could, but thats getting to the point of unethical coding. the whole idea seems sketchy honestly. thats like scraping reddit and redisplaying on your site.

[toxic flame]

true

Also

Why is iframe insecure?

[wicked elbow]

iframes can link jack. basically gives the site with the iframe the same control the browser has

[toxic flame]

um

What's wrong with that

Isn't that the point of iframe

[wicked elbow]

thats how you get your username and password stolen... lmao

[toxic flame]

?

Iframe just displays another site inside a box

Not sure how will someone steal your crede

maybe explain a little bit with more context

if you're free

[wicked elbow]

correct, you cant see the address. you also cant see what the iframe is doing. iframes can be controlled completely in javascript. lol just google why iframes are bad

[toxic flame]

ok

[wicked elbow]

no one uses iframes for anything good and everyone should have scripts in their code breaking iframes. very very few actual uses of iframes

[toxic flame]

I see i see

YouTube embedded uses iframe ;-;

[wicked elbow]

videos are one of those specific use cases.... how else do you plan on transferring video data?

[toxic flame]

U still can change iframe link reeee

[wicked elbow]

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7289139/why-are-iframes-considered-dangerous-and-a-security-risk read that. think about it this way. for instance, if you loaded a malicious page that looks identical to say facebooks login page, you wouldnt know if it was a malicious link or the real link because you cant see the address

[toxic flame]

Oh wouldn't that be the guy who made the site's fault!

?

[wicked elbow]

yes, and users shouldnt trust iframes. if your loading another site into your site, chances are your doing something malicious. like i said very few legitimate uses

[toxic flame]

Ah I see. So if someone puts your site into an iframe as well. It can execute js as if it was from that domain.

[wicked elbow]

besides if i was paying a developer team 1 million a year to keep a site up the last thing id want is someone to iframe to my page and steal the credit of my site and display ads and make money from not doing anything but stealing my work

[toxic flame]

Hahahaha damn.

[wicked elbow]

i mean im just saying 1 million isnt that much. thats 10 programmers making 100k a year.

[toxic flame]

Well

1 tech lead
3 full stack

Is probably all you need

[wicked elbow]

technically speaking, iframes arent bad, but they can be

haha, look at facebook for instance or youtube or google. they all have way more then 4 developers. and no one hires full stack unless your a small company

[toxic flame]

4 full stack developer

Unless they hire by parts too ( fronted, backend )

Well I'll have to be applying for startups... I won't have a degree any time soon.

By the time i will be getting a degree. I'll be starved to death lol. ( If i dont have a job )

[wicked elbow]

front end, backend, UI/UX and networking plus a programming lead and a project manager. is pretty standard. JS is a huge job for big projects

[toxic flame]

I assume full stack only contains fronted + backend?

Ui/UX & networking is included too!

?

Damn.

[wicked elbow]

thats the full team for web yes

[toxic flame]

Oml

Kendal, are you like a business owner or something?

[wicked elbow]

full stack doesnt do networking normally, but depends how small the company is

[toxic flame]

You seem to know kinda alot about this
