[limpid python]

I just made it into a flask app

from flask import Flask, render_template

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/')
def home():
    return render_template("index.html")

do I have to use jinja?

[native tide]

you need to write <link rel="stylesheet" href="../css/bootstrap.min.css" /> bc they arent in the same directory

[limpid python]

oh

nope

[fast steeple]

is there anyone who is familiar with Django frameworks?!

[crude glen]

'..' is for folders that are in a directory above

the css folder is in the same directory as index.html

It would have to be './css /...'

[fast steeple]

i want to start working on this in linux...if anyone could guide!!

[native tide]

no ../ is for folders below and i suggested the ./css/ alread but also didnt work for him and he didnt say he uses flask which probably means he needs to have static folder or so and the jinja syntax

[limpid python]

ok

[native tide]

yeah i am familiar but what kind of guide do you want? how to set it up or more?

[native tide]

Im not sure tho bc im not that familiar with flask just try asking someone else or try googling it

[limpid python]

ok

[fast steeple]

yes setup and to make my first project

[native tide]

ok yeah i could guide you or suggest you some really good tutorials if you want

[fast steeple]

yes please...do any of the one ..which ever u feel comfortable with

[native tide]

some good tutorials are:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xv_bwpA_aEA&list=PL-51WBLyFTg2vW-_6XBoUpE7vpmoR3ztO
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UmljXZIypDc&list=PL-osiE80TeTtoQCKZ03TU5fNfx2UY6U4p
and him for some advancer things or if the others are to slow
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRM1gWNTDx0SHIqUJygD-kQ/playlists

but i can also call you and tell you by screenshare what to do bc that takes max 10 min
Your choice

[fast steeple]

https://learning.edx.org/course/course-v1:MichiganX+dj4e102x+3T2020/home @native tide i am thinking to go with this course...can u pl. goo through this and say should i do this or something else

yes screen share would be cool @native tide

[native tide]

ok i add you

[fast ether]

the id should correspond based on what is the task_content is

 {% for task in tasks %}
            <tr>
<td><input type="checkbox" id=id></td> 
                <td><label for=id >{{ task.content }}</label></td>

how can i differentiate my id & for attributes within my loop???

[native tide]

Do you mean you want the id of the input/checkbox to be equal to your task one? bc if so you just need to pass in {{ task.id }}

[fast ether]

Ahm I'm not sure but... its only strike out the first row always when i check the second checkbox it wont strike out the second row :p

[fast ether]

It look like it is

[native tide]

i think i understand your problem but why arent you solving that with javascript. I think it would be simpler

[fast ether]

Hmm i don't have much knowledge on javascript

I just copied it :p

document.addEventListener("change", e => {
    if(e.target.matches("input[type=checkbox]")){
      document.querySelector(`label[for=${e.target.id}]`).classList.toggle("strike");
  }
})

what should i change here?

[tough harness]

Hey guys, ES and Javascript are the same thing right?

[native tide]

they are kinda the same but theyre are more versions es6,es7,es8... Its basically just the syntax that changes on some things not on all i think
im not a js pro

[native tide]

@fast ether actually i found a solution without javascript

<tbody>
  {% for task in tasks %}
    <tr>
      <td><input type="checkbox" class="check-with-label" id="{{task.id}}" /></td>
      <td><label class="label-for-check" for="{{task.id}}">{{ task.name }}</label></td>
    </tr>
  {% endfor %}
</tbody>

with following css:
    .check-with-label:checked + .label-for-check {
        text-decoration: line-through;
    }

i tested it and it works. only strikes the label of the clicked checkbox

[fast ether]

it's looks like it didn't work

[fast ether]

wont work in <td> tag

[native tide]

are you sure? I just wrapped it in a <td> tag and it still works

[fast ether]

Yeah won't work i removed the <td> tag it works but i need it to be inside <td>

[stray cypress]

I'm using Flask to make a webapp that gets a random Reddit post from a specified Subreddit. Though it seems like JS won't redirect me, I want to change the args of the page from 0.0.0.0:8000/?sub=memes to 0.0.0.0:8000/?sub=unixporn.
Here's my JS:

function changeQS(key, value) {
  let urlParams = new URLSearchParams(location.search.substr(1));
  urlParams.set(key, value);
  console.log("http://0.0.0.0:8000?" + urlParams.toString());
  let nexturl = "http://0.0.0.0:8000?" + urlParams.toString()
  window.location.replace(nexturl);
}

function submit_new_sub() {
  console.log(document.getElementById("subreddit_to_get_memes_from").value);
  changeQS("sub", document.getElementById("subreddit_to_get_memes_from").value);
}

[native tide]

@fast ether can you send the code you are using?

[fast ether]

<table>
        <tr>
            <th>Done</th>
            <th>Task</th>
            <th>Added</th>

        {% for task in tasks %}
            <tr>
                <td><input type="checkbox" class="check-with-label"  id="{{task.id}}"></td> 
                <td><label class="label-for-check" for="{{task.id}}">{{ task.content }}</label></td>

                    <br>

        {% endfor %}

[digital portal]

List of lecturers (1 point)

When you go to the "/ create-lecturer" link, a form should appear in which we can add it to the lecturer's database (1 point)

When going to the "/ add-lecturer" link by post method, we should add it to the lecturer's database (1 point)

"/ Shuffle" - will print lecturers in a chaotic manner (1 point)

"/ Random" - randomly selects one lecturer and displays it on the screen. (1 point)

"/ Filter" - displays a lecturer whose phone number is the last digit 3

[native tide]

@fast ether ok yeah it was working for bc i didnt wrap it in a <table> tag lol bc havent used them in years but if you make it like that

  {% for task in tasks %}
   <tr>
     <td><input type="checkbox" class="check-with-label" id="{{task.id}}" />
         <label class="label-for-check" for="{{task.id}}">{{ task.title }}</label></td>
   </tr>
 {% endfor %}

So basically label and input into one <td> tag it works

[native tide]

Is that a question or what are you trying to say?

[digital portal]

List of lecturers (1 point)

When you go to the "/ create-lecturer" link, a form should appear in which we can add it to the lecturer's database (1 point)

When going to the "/ add-lecturer" link by post method, we should add it to the lecturer's database (1 point)

"/ Shuffle" - will print lecturers in a chaotic manner (1 point)

"/ Random" - randomly selects one lecturer and displays it on the screen. (1 point)

"/ Filter" - displays a lecturer whose phone number is the last digit 3

[native tide]

and what is your question about that assignment?

[fast ether]

oh thanks good idea finally solved it now

[native tide]

@fast ether just add more css some margin or padding and some border and it should look great

    </div>
</nav>
  
<div class="heading text-center" id="#features">
``` I have this, but the button does not work, it changes the url, but does not move the the featurs part of page.

[native tide]

@limpid python dont write in the id #features rather just feature
and it should work then
the "#features" means navigate to that id.

Hello everyone my django app, logs out automatically when I close the tab even if I didnt specified in the settings

How can I fix it

[formal axle]

does anyone know why my css isnt connecting to django

Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found) it says this in the console and my css doesnt update in the sources

[native tide]

@formal axle show the code where you connect it bc there's probably the error and mby show your folder structure and "settings.py" and "urls.py" bc of the static connection there as well

whats the difference between print and return in functions

[native tide]

with print you actually print it to the console and return gives it back and you can access it then or assign a variable to it

[native tide]

oh ight ty

[native tide]

Hey, so i have this API and i want to basically bind their computers HWID or UUID to their account name so they can only acess it from one computer. How would i identify a computer uuid or hwid from over a flask API?

please ping me if you can answer, thanks

[uncut spire]

I have a react app making a GET request that's CORS erroring, and I'm not sure how to fix it the correct way--Chrome says PreflightInvalidAllowCredentials, the request is submitted via

axios.get('http://localhost:8080/myroute', {headers: {Authorization: jwt}, withCredentials: true})

and the resource itself is a flask_restx resource decorated with flask_cors.cross_origin, with origin specified as my react app i.e. https://localhost:3000. What does this error intend me to do differently? I can post more code if it helps, I'm looking at the mozilla docs that I think are relevant but my origin is not '*'

[formal axle]

this is the code connecting it <link rel="stylesheet" href="{% static 'css/main.css' %}"> This is the settings ```import os.path

STATIC_ROOT = ''

STATIC_URL = '/static/'

STATICFILES_DIRS = ( os.path.join('ecom_site/static'), )```

this is the file structure

[native tide]

@formal axle ok that looks actually right but did you add

    urlpatterns += static(settings.STATIC_URL,
                        document_root=settings.STATIC_ROOT)

in the root urls.py ?

[formal axle]

no lol didnt even know i should do that, ill do that rn and see if it works

[native tide]

that probably fixes it and if you ever use images do the same thing you did with static

[formal axle]

the root is the other thing than the app right?

just wanna make sure im doing it at the right place

[native tide]

root is the project u created with "django-admin startproject name" so in name/urls.py

[formal axle]

gotcha

hmm it says name static is not defined

[native tide]

oh sry some imports are missing wait a sec

[formal axle]

all good

[native tide]

those are the missing imports

from django.conf import settings
from django.conf.urls.static import static

[formal axle]

in the terminal the "GET /static/css/main.css HTTP/1.1" 304 0" is turquoise now witch is good but it still doesnt do anything

[native tide]

304 means its not modified and uses a cached version.
So clear the cache by pressing "Shift + F5"

[formal axle]

ok one sec

do u know what the command would be oin mac because that activated voice over

[native tide]

wait one sec

[formal axle]

ok

[native tide]

u can also press "Shift + R" so "Command + Shift + R" for you i guess

[formal axle]

ok ill try that

hmm weird still didnt do anything

it just put out "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 3472

[native tide]

i updated my answer i think thats it

[formal axle]

oh ok ill try that

"GET /favicon.ico HTTP/1.1" 404 2584

this popped up now lol

[native tide]

do you have a favicon in your app or not?

if not it doesnt matter

[formal axle]

well no i dont rlly know what that is

is it that img on the tab thing

[native tide]

favicon is basically the icon you see next to the website title in the tab

[native tide]

yeah

[formal axle]

oh ok

hmm so why would that make the css not work lmao

[native tide]

it still doesnt work?

[formal axle]

yea still not lol

weird, its updating in the sources now and showing no errors

some of my files are yellow could that be it?

[native tide]

yellow just means your linter shows warnings but thats not rlly important

[formal axle]

ok

maybe im just not meant to learn django 😆

[native tide]

u wanna screenshare and show it? i would add you.

[native tide]

dont say that everyone meant to learn everything they want

[formal axle]

yea sure i cant talk tho because my mic is broken

[reef oasis]

Don't talk like that

[formal axle]

yea im just joking lol

[reef oasis]

hehe

Maybe you just tried to jump some steps

[native tide]

Hey, so i have this API and i want to basically bind their computers HWID or UUID to their account name so they can only acess it from one computer. How would i identify a computer uuid or hwid from over a flask API?
please ping me if you can answer, thanks

[reef oasis]

A good way to avoid errors when you're trying to develop something with Django / Flask / FastAPI [...] is having a good understanding of HTTP Requests, HTML Tags, CSS and CSS Frameworks (Bootstrap, for example) and JS (for web)

[formal axle]

yea i got css and html and bootstrap im learning js, and gonna read up on http requests

[reef oasis]

You can do this in the cloud platform you're using to deploy the app

Under Firewall settings

[reef oasis]

Niceeee. Try developing small projects first, like file compression and decompression or text file word counting

[formal axle]

hmm interesting

ok i will

@reef oasis thanks

oh wait i thought it would give u points

wrong server

[reef oasis]

lol no need for that hehe it was a pleasure helping you. Feel free to dm me when you face a problem

[formal axle]

thanks

[fast ether]

is there any good resources to learn flask with python?

i can't find something good

[meager sand]

if you like videos, the Corey Schafer Flask series is supposedly good

it's on youtube

but I haven't personally watched it

you can also try reading the official docs, iirc they're not bad

[whole sierra]

Can anyone tell me how to assign the exact same value of a text-area to an input form?

[reef oasis]

Its nice to start little projects to learn Flask, like the ones I just mentioned up here.
For Python tutorials, I really recommend Sentdex, because he has a hands-on approach. I learned Flask with the docs (and stackoverflow) while I was developing an web app for my previous company, but if you need, Sentdex has a Flask playlist too:

hey guys i have an issue although its with php
im trying to show players in a table form, but in the table there is an extra column whereby is a user clicks view details a model pops up showing them about the players information. the table works but when i click on any player model the information shows for player 1

[cosmic bramble]

Not really

[civic kiln]

this is the for loop and the model area

[cosmic bramble]

Because you are using a development server

[cosmic bramble]

I don't know php, sorry, but I use Django.

[civic kiln]

i wanted help in php, thanks though

[tulip beacon]

hey guys, I have webapp startup idea where I'm 30% done.. I would love to collab with other people here, dm me if interested...

[native tide]

@ruby summit show the heroku logs and the devtool console if there are errors

[ruby summit]

The logs don’t show any out put when I make an request to the app

[native tide]

@ruby summit then show those logs

Hi I am using kivy to design an app, I want to connect my android app to my firebase but don't want to expose the credentials inside it. I believe to design an API for the same will be the best practice. It might require to send a HTTP req. Need some help as I am unable to understand further process.

[reef oasis]

Not using a development server.
If you want to use Waitress as production server: https://flask.palletsprojects.com/en/1.1.x/tutorial/deploy/#run-with-a-production-server

Hi All,

For any FastAPI devs out there, Just completed a major upgrade to https://github.com/codemation/easyauth - now complete with an Admin GUI, client cookie management, automatic login redirects & default error pages. - Try it out, let me know if you have issues, eager to here what you think.

[inland copper]

:wasowiski:

[versed python]

Depending on where you are running the kivi app on, you can store the credentials as an environment variable

[compact flicker]

to send an automated email through code we need to do some changes to our google account's settings.
is there a way to send mails without changing any settings...?

[ruby summit]

this is where it's stuck

[ruby summit]

ig u can
but then ur account would be at risk

[compact flicker]

I already know that

[ruby summit]

umm
ya so ?

[compact flicker]

wait

is there a way to send without doing this

[ruby summit]

umm
tbh idk but i dont think so

[compact flicker]

k...

👍

[ruby summit]

🙂

[compact flicker]

👍

guys, i get this error in heroku
the dyno status is 400
what to do ?

[distant trout]

do u guys prefer Server side rendering or client side

[distant trout]

most probably an error on ur code

is it working on localhost?

[ruby summit]

yes

code is error free

😐

[distant trout]

did u put heroku on ur allowed_hosts?

i mean heroku

[ruby summit]

yes

i put```py

allowed_host = ['*']```

[distant trout]

oh thats rly weird then...

umm

[ruby summit]

ikr

[distant trout]

maybe try explict allowed hosts

put in herokus domain instead of *

i rarely get issues with django and heroku

[ruby summit]

umm

ok but idk how this causes an error

since my last update only this has been happening

and ive not even touched allowed_hosts

is there any request limit for a heroku web app ?

[ruby summit]

even ive never had such an error

😐

[distant trout]

not that i know of. most of my projects on heroku work seamlessly with django

more issues with frameworks like flask

[ruby summit]

even me
ive 4

this 5th one is becoming an issue idk y

[robust canopy]

Can u guys giv me some opinion on how should I improve my website?

[ruby summit]

what is ur website

like depends on how it is now

[robust canopy]

Like portfolio

[ruby summit]

hmm
never done that so idk 😅

[distant trout]

u wanna improve design?

[robust canopy]

It's OK. I also need some perspective from other ppl

[ruby summit]

ill do that
but idk how that causes an issue

it means the same thing

'*' and '.herokuapp.com'

[distant trout]

yeah true, but maybe being explicit will fix it? i usually just leave it as "*"

[robust canopy]

https://poolofdeath20.herokuapp.com

[ruby summit]

idk
ill try and let u know if it solved the error

[distant trout]

ah okay

[distant trout]

looks neat, you can make it a bit more cleaned up

for example the portfolio page could use some padding

the projects you are showing off are too large

[robust canopy]

BTW I also made some slight changes. I'm pushing the latest

[thick dock]

hey guys can anyone here help me with something in selenium?

[distant trout]

css grids is awesome for grid layouts and etc

[distant trout]

what is it

[thick dock]

Ok so bascially i am trying select a dropdown

but whatever i try it cant seem to find it

I have tried by class name, xpath, css selector

[distant trout]

are u using a headless browser?

[thick dock]

what do u mean by that?

[distant trout]

does selenium actually open up the browser for u

on ur pc

[thick dock]

yes

[distant trout]

ah okay so its not headless

[thick dock]

i can get it to open the page

[distant trout]

umm it might be too fast, maybe set a delay? the page could be loading in the drop down asyncronously

[thick dock]

umm let me give it a try

[distant trout]

i think selenium has a wait method

[distant trout]

hmm

[thick dock]

idk this is confusing me XD

[distant trout]

are u trying to scrape?

or automate something?

[thick dock]

automate

I want to select one of these options

[distant trout]

found this on a stackoverflow question

s1 = Select(browser.find_element_by_id('highlightunits'))
s1.select_by_visible_text('Inches')

most probably wont work

[distant trout]

if u cant access the dropdown by class

[thick dock]

But theres no id

[distant trout]

yeah

[thick dock]

and i tried by class unless i did that wrong

[distant trout]

can u select other elements by class name?

[thick dock]

element = driver.find_element_by_class_name("js-pg-changemange-search-type")

This is correct right?

[distant trout]

yea

[distant trout]

thats weird

can u select a simple p tag on the page?

[thick dock]

Anyone here switched from Flask to Django? How did you find it? I've built about 4 massive projects in Flask that are successful today. I'm wondering what benefits Django has over Flask.

[distant trout]

paragraph

[thick dock]

how would i do that

[distant trout]

find any other element on the page with different class name

i think most of its content is being loaded in later by javascript, so it cant find it

[past cipher]

use xpath @thick dock

[distant trout]

but yeah, i usually have more success with xpath than class name

[thick dock]

i have tried xpath

element = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//input[@data-translate-key='sidebar.select_timetable_type']")

element = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//select[@class='js-pg-changemange-search-type']/option[text()='Module']")

[past cipher]

whats the website so I can check it out for you

[thick dock]

https://opentimetable.dcu.ie/

[past cipher]

there has been a lot of message, what are you trying to get

[distant trout]

oh yeah

this is a async load

most of the content is loaded in later with javascript

[thick dock]

oh

[past cipher]

maybe try sleeping for 20 seconds

whilst the js loads

[distant trout]

^

[thick dock]

oo

what would be the command for that?

[distant trout]

try time.sleep instead of selenium wait

[past cipher]

from time import sleep
sleep(20)

but 20 is maybe too long, 5 should be enough i think

[thick dock]

ok

guys i just wanna say

you are legends

[distant trout]

😳

[past cipher]

glad you got it working 😄

[thick dock]

so to select an option

i can do it by value?

[distant trout]

you should be able to, yeah

[thick dock]

how do i send a left click?

[distant trout]

.click on the element

one of my first automations with selenium, i just used pyautogui to do the mouse movements for me

[thick dock]

oo

[distant trout]

kinda inefficient but it worked

[thick dock]

got it all working thanks for the help

[distant trout]

no problem

[native tide]

That doesnt work

[reef oasis]

Try searching about Flask logging options, maybe changing logging level works for you

hello everyone, does anyone have info about control panel for routing system with google api?

[native tide]

for pure backend i would suggest learning django bc it has so many features pre build, theyre are so many packages and still kinda easy

[lilac belfry]

anyone know how to use mod_rewrite so like /test/a/b/c would goto /test/index.php/a/b/c

[native tide]

Hey there! I've been onto GUIs for quite a few years now, and wish to start making web pages, and responsive websites. What library would you suggest me to begin with? Also, im quite keen on getting started with Web UI (Canvases,Text Boxes,etc). What would you guys suggest me for both?

[dusky rock]

there's no "pure backend" tbh. especially with django and flask since they both involve templating which is kinda frontend (unless you only learn the rest frameworks that compliment them).

i'd recommend learning both of them and seeing which one suits you better. flask has an easier learning curve, but django is more powerful since it has a philosophy "batteries included".

also just my opinion, if youre considering learning flask, you should look into FastAPI as well

[wheat skiff]

hi, can any one help me with a django project?
i need to create a DB for users

[nimble epoch]

ill try my best

[wheat skiff]

thank you

[native tide]

@dusky rock I'm glad you mentioned FastAPI, it sounds interesting, impressive and of course, fast.

why is my navbar link not changing colour?

fixed it

turns out css is space-sensitive

[valid girder]

I can help. If you describe your schema, I can create a starter project with the orm models code as well as crud APIs of your choice (rest/graphql). 100% tests too. 🙂
No strings attached, you get the code in 15 minutes

[tacit brook]

So with flask the session data is encrypted in a unbreakable way right?

A tutorial sets session['logged_in'] = True and then checks that later

theirs no way for someone to just set a cookie 'logged_in' = True right?

I'm going to include an auth token in the session variables which will be checked at high security end points anyway.

Also I am trying to follow the accepted answer on this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35540885/display-the-contents-of-a-log-file-as-it-is-updated

@app.route('/logstream')
def logstream():
    def generate():
        if not session['logged_in']:
            return "unauthorized"
        with open(f'{session["id"]}.log', 'w+') as f:
            while True:
                yield f.read()
                sleep(1)
    return app.response_class(generate(), mimetype='text/plain')

however I need variable file names

and realized that the way it is called it does not have a session

Any solution?

[tacit brook]

alternatively I can just capture output of the running process directly but it would need to always do this even when the page is not open.

[dawn citrus]

Hi, I'm not sure if this is just my web browser being stupid, or me being stupid (most likely the latter), but when I make changes to the css and reload the web page, there are no changes. Usually, I would have to delete the site cache and site settings for the css to load again, and debug mode is on, so I'm not sure what's causing this problem.

[tacit brook]

are you certain the css is being loaded?

href="{{ url_for('static',filename='styles/bootstrap.min.css') }}"

thats the way I ended up getting it to load

[dawn citrus]

Yep it's definitely loaded

<link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ url_for('static', filename='css/main.css') }}">

[tacit brook]

nvm

[dawn citrus]

Anyone?

sigh looks like I'll be alone again

[tacit brook]

same

[vestal hound]

so what do you want to happen?

for the browser not to cache?

[dawn citrus]

Well I mean I would expect the page to reload with my changes instantly

[vestal hound]

my guess

is that

the CSS is being cached

do you want to disable that?

[dawn citrus]

Yeah I think that's happening

[vestal hound]

you're developing on localhost?

[dawn citrus]

Yeah I want to disable that

[vestal hound]

you know how to inspect CSS?

I presume you're using Django?

[dawn citrus]

Nope

Flask

@vestal hound

[vestal hound]

use your browser

right click -> inspect

first, make sure the up-to-date CSS rules are not being loaded

you can also see the requests being made

and you will be able to tell

if the stylesheets are loaded from cache or not

[dawn citrus]

Ok

Can anyone tell me how to add authentication to flask post request

There is a website who send post request. So I wass trying to make a webhook kinda thing.

I can successfully get the post request data

but there is a part of authorization in the website which allows to verify the post request is from them

How Can I set the authorization for flask

[lapis inlet]

Can someone tell me how to do oauth2 in django

[native tide]

there is a pretty popular 3rd-party package called "django-all-auth" with default login(email,username,password) and Social Login(facebook,google,twitter)

[lapis inlet]

I want one for discord@native tide

[native tide]

@lapis inlet there is also discord auth

[native tide]

I use 'Incognito mode' or 'Private mode' to avoid issues with the cache and stylesheets. Another technique is to do a hard refresh on the page by pressing ctrl+shift+r or ctrl+f5 (for Ubuntu or Windows, not sure about Mac)

Hi, have a Django question. Basically in one of my views I'm generating a word cloud (https://github.com/amueller/word_cloud). After generating it, im saving it to the static directory as a .png and only then returning the render with a template that uses the static load for the img src. It works fine but im wondering is there a problem with parallelism? Like would it be possible for the view to return the render prematurely (before saving the .png) and then the images wont show up on the page because they havent finished saving yet? Or should i not be worried about it? Also wondering if this is a sub-optimal solution. Thank you

Hey guys, I've working with React for about 6 months on a strictly JS project but want to get back to using python. Are Django and Flask still looking like the best options? Are there new tools emerging to consider aside from the REST-django-react setup?

[native tide]

i dont know flask but im also currently implementing react into an django project and it think drf is still the best and easiest to implement option

[native tide]

@toxic matrix u did install django right? if you dont know check it by typing that

pip freeze > requirements.txt is the usual name but u can name it whatever you want 

into your commandline and it doesnt matter if you are in a virtual env or not

[nimble epoch]

django is one of the most popular outhere and you can use django-rest-framework

[toxic matrix]

i did

[dense slate]

Yea I really love Django. Is there anything new that's worth looking at as it relates to Django or upcoming python frameworks?

[native tide]

try the command and just check it. i had that a while ago too even tho i installed django globally and in my virtual env

[nimble epoch]

i dont know what you looking for but yeah you can almost do anything using django

[toxic matrix]

i did its not doing anything

[native tide]

it didi nothing bc it should have created a file with all pip install packages.

[toxic matrix]

so how to fix

[native tide]

are you in a virtual env or not? bc if just delete it create a new one and install all dependencies again

[toxic matrix]

i m on vsc

[gritty cloud]

if you don't hae a virtual environment

you can use the command py -m venv env-name

at least on windows

then you can use pip easily

[native tide]

vsc doesnt always have the permission for some commands just try it in the normal command line

[gritty cloud]

also true

[toxic matrix]

how its my first project with py

[gritty cloud]

you may want to just open cmd

and cd into your project

[native tide]

just open cmd and cd into your project and then try django-admin startproject name again

[toxic matrix]

py : The term 'py' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name,
or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

  • CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (py:String) [], CommandNotFoundException
  • FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException

[toxic matrix]

i did thirce

[native tide]

u got pyhton installed and in your windows path?

[toxic matrix]

yes

i installed python 9 times

because everyone said python was not installed

[native tide]

ok but also added it to the windows path thats essential

[toxic matrix]

can i use this on repl

[native tide]

theres an option in the installer to add it to the path and for the keyword "py" if you dont check those you have to use python and add it to the windows path manually

[toxic matrix]

can i use it on repl??

[native tide]

i dont use repl but probably

[toxic matrix]

on repl i got stuck on this python message.py runserver python: can't open file 'message.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

[native tide]

its python manage.py runserver not message.py

[toxic matrix]

python: can't open file 'manage.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory```

[native tide]

are you in the right directory? you need to be in the directory with manage.py

[toxic matrix]

i got this error on repl

[native tide]

then django isnt supported on repl bc u need atleast that file after you have created your django project

[toxic matrix]

but the file is there

[native tide]

<form action="/action_page.php">
  <label for="cars">Choose a car:</label>
  <select name="cars" id="cars">
    <option value="volvo">Volvo</option>
    <option value="saab">Saab</option>
    <option value="opel">Opel</option>
    <option value="audi">Audi</option>
  </select>
  <br><br>
  <input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
``` how would i get selected value. For example if user will select "volvo", i can get it and my `generate_graph` function will generate datas with choosen value?

[native tide]

make a ls or dir to see in which director you are and what files you can call then

[toxic matrix]

uh??? i did not got that

[native tide]

ls worked for me

[toxic matrix]

i did not got what do u mean

[native tide]

mby i said it not understandable. go into the shell on repl and type ls then you see all files in the current directory

thats how i mean it
Django is just the project title

[toxic matrix]

main.py poetry.lock pwhTutorials pyproject.toml got this in response

@native tide ???

[native tide]

yeah youre a directory above you need to cd into it. so type

cd pwhTutorials 

in your case

[toxic matrix]

ok done

[native tide]

with php or in what web language?

[toxic matrix]

@native tide ~/web$ cd pwhTutorials ~/web/pwhTutorials$

[native tide]

ok now run python manage.py runserver

[native tide]

yeah thats what you want. you need to be in the django-project folder

[toxic matrix]

CommandError: '/home/runner/web/pwhTutorials' already exists
~/web$ django-admin startproject pwhTutorials```

[native tide]

dont run startproject again rather start the server

[toxic matrix]

uh

[native tide]

that

[toxic matrix]

ok lemme try

[native tide]

html;

[native tide]

you know basic vanilla javascript? bc you can get the value you want with javascript and then go on

[native tide]

and now run python manage.py migrate to migrate

[toxic matrix]

what does this command means

[native tide]

you migrate basic django settings, configurations. you just need to do it

[toxic matrix]

aoh okok its being installed or migrate

[native tide]

migrated and another useful command is python manage.py makemigrations

[native tide]

that probably is bc of repl. why dont you make inot in repl

[toxic matrix]

it does not work on vsc

[native tide]

you mean vscode? it works in vscode

[toxic matrix]

yes vscode for me it gives errors

[native tide]

should i add you, and you stream it and i just guide you through i think it would be easier then writing here and sending screenshots

[toxic matrix]

hmmmm, my pc will crash

i can give u repl link

[native tide]

ok

[toxic matrix]

dmed

[native tide]

ok but how does that solve your vscode error? bc i dont think it will work with repl

[toxic matrix]

idk i want it to work on repl

[native tide]

ok even tho i dont understand why

[toxic matrix]

:/

[native tide]

the code isnt wrong its bc of repl and i dont use it with repl and dont know if it can work with repl sry

[toxic matrix]

lemme download the code as zip file froom repl and then use it on vsc

[native tide]

ok

[native tide]

and? is it working?

[noble spoke]

Only if you ask a question

[native tide]

from flask import Flask

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route("/")
def home():
  return "Hello! This is the main page. <h1>HELLO<hi>"

@app.route("/<name>")
def user(name):
  return f"Hello {name}!"

if __name__ == "__main__":
  app.run(port=8080)
``` Im trying out a basic flask webpage, but whenever i try to open it i get this error

at first i had it at default port, but it still didnt work. then i changed to 4996, still didnt work. adn finally i tried 8080. still no luck

[noble spoke]

Show us the url in your browser please

[native tide]

http://127.0.0.1:5000/

[noble spoke]

If you set the flask app to port 5000 and go there you see nothing?

[native tide]

nope

[noble spoke]

Remember to restart the app

[native tide]

wdym,

[noble spoke]

Kill it and rerun the flask app

[native tide]

im on replit

[noble spoke]

What

Why

How do you expect to reach that machine's localhost if its on a different machine

[native tide]

its, complicated. my device doesnt exactly support vsc or

[noble spoke]

You dont need vsc to make a flask app

[native tide]

rn, my port is set at 5000

and the url also says 5000

should i get a help channel

[noble spoke]

localhost is machine specific, you cant access some other pc's localhost

I suggest you get off replit and try it offline

[candid urchin]

how do i prevent this

[ebon tulip]

app.run(port=8080) but the url is 127.0.0.1:5000 (localhost, port 5000)

[reef oasis]

What command are you using to run the app?

python app.py or do you use flask-manager (python run.py runserver)?

[native tide]

How to get what user selected and submitted in html <select> tag?

[nimble epoch]

i think you gotta add value or name to <select> tag

not remember exactly

and name or value attr to its options. play with it

[nimble epoch]

dont remember exactly but i think you use them in different situations

i dont use flask anymore

but as i remember if you had a piece of code you should use one and if not you should use another BUT not sure

[stray venture]

oh my f god why does stretching a background over <body> is so hard.... i just want it to stretch diagonally so it covers up the whole device height but i just get this

i tried everything

[nimble epoch]

what is this?

i cant rec anything

[native tide]

add a name tag to the options in the select and then you can get the value in the views.py if youre using Django. In Flask could it be the same but never rlly used it so Idk

Hello there, i'm with some problem with inheritance.
class Person:
CPF unique_field

class BoardMember(Person):
meta proxy=true

class student(Person):
some_field

class Instructor(Student): "cuz in the future a student can be a instructor"
another_field

a member exists with a CPF(unique_field), when i try to create a student with the same CPF, python show me an error. How can i create a student with the same CPF, just getting the person by a filter in the form?

[deft coyote]

I'm using flask & wtforms to create a recipe site, mostly using Miguel Ginberg's flask mega-tutorial as a base to work from.

I'm working on a page to edit existing recipes, which is very similar to a page to edit existing user profiles. The user edit_profile form works fine, but the edit_recipe one does not.

When I open the edit_recipe page (/recipes/Cereal/edit_recipe for example) I get a stack trace with this error: File "/home/wurzle/projects/recipeasy/app/routes.py", line 112, in edit_recipe
form.name.data = recipe.name
AttributeError: 'tuple' object has no attribute 'data'

Can anyone help me understand why in this context it is treating the form fields as tuples?

Form class:

class EditRecipeForm(FlaskForm):
    name = StringField('Recipe Name', validators=[DataRequired()]),
    submit = SubmitField('Add Recipe')

    def __init__(self, recipename, *args, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self.original_name = recipename
    
    def validate_name(self, name):
        if name.data != self.original_name:
            check_existing_recipe = Recipe.query.filter_by(name=self.name.data).first()
            if check_existing_recipe is not None:
                raise ValidationError(f'A recipe named {{ form.name.data }} already exists.')

Edit recipe route:

@app.route('/recipes/<recipename>/edit_recipe', methods=['GET', 'POST'])
@login_required
def edit_recipe(recipename):
    recipe = Recipe.query.filter_by(name=recipename).first_or_404()
    form = EditRecipeForm(recipename)
    if form.validate_on_submit():
        recipe.name = form.name.data
        db.session.commit()
        flash(f'{{ recipe.name }} updated.')
    elif request.method == 'GET':
        form.name.data = recipe.name
    return render_template('edit_recipe.html', title=f'Edit {{ recipe.name }}', recipe=recipe, form=form)

A snippet of the template:

    <form action="" method="post" novalidate>
        {{ form.hidden_tag() }}
        <p>
            {{ form.name.label }}<br>
            {{ form.name(size=120) }}<br>
            {% for error in form.name.errors %}
            <span style="color: red;">[{{ error }}]</span>
            {% endfor %}
        </p>
            <p>{{ form.submit() }}</p>
        </p>
    </form>

[opaque rivet]

Error form.name.data = recipe.name

So form.name is a tuple, I haven't use WTForms so take this with a grain of salt, but since the form isn't populated it may have no data attribute. I'd print form.name and type(form.name) to see its structure.

If you want to show a default value for the recipe name, take it as a parameter in __init__ of your form and give your field a default attribute to that parameter.

[opaque rivet]

CPF is a unique field, you can't have duplicates and it can't be null. What are you trying to achieve?

!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.

[opaque rivet]

have you tried:

background-size: contain / cover

You might want to use cover, it will mean the image will take all of the parent's width (even if it requires to be cut). Contain will always contain the image in the parent, but can allow for blank spaces because its aspect ratio is kept.

[deft coyote]

@opaque rivet Thanks for the tip. I'm actually trying to prepopulate the form with existing values (dynamic defaults?). I am copying that behavior from my user class, which has the same pattern of setting form.field.data to values when it is a get request. The biggest difference I can spot between the two is that the user class uses flask-login's current_user proxy, vs looking up the recipe in my db for the recipe page.

>>> form.name
(<UnboundField(StringField, ('Recipe Name',), {'validators': [<wtforms.validators.DataRequired object at 0x7f21864eea90>]})>)
>>> type(form.name)
<class 'tuple'>```

[opaque rivet]

well that confirms that when forms are not populated, the fields have no data attributes, and you said that you have another form which populates a field on GET request?

[deft coyote]

Yes that's right, I can paste code snippets from the working one if that would be useful.

[opaque rivet]

sure, I wouldn't expect that to be the case

[deft coyote]

class EditProfileForm(FlaskForm):
  username = StringField('Username', validators=[DataRequired()])
  about_me = TextAreaField('About me', validators=[Length(min=0, max=140)])
  submit = SubmitField('Submit')

  def __init__(self, original_username, *args, **kwargs):
    super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
    self.original_username = original_username
  
  def validate_username(self, username):
    if username.data != self.original_username:
      user = User.query.filter_by(username=self.username.data).first()
      if user is not None:
        raise ValidationError('Please choose a different username.')

@app.route('/edit_profile', methods=['GET', 'POST'])
@login_required
def edit_profile():
  form = EditProfileForm(current_user.username)
  if form.validate_on_submit():
    current_user.username = form.username.data
    current_user.about_me = form.about_me.data
    db.session.commit()
    flash('Your changes have been saved.')
  elif request.method == 'GET':
    form.username.data = current_user.username
    form.about_me.data = current_user.about_me
  return render_template('edit_profile.html', title='Edit Profile', form=form)

So when you go to /edit_profile, it prepopulates the form with the values for the currently logged in user.

The user part is almost character-for-character copied from https://blog.miguelgrinberg.com/post/the-flask-mega-tutorial-part-vi-profile-page-and-avatars (Profile Editor section)

[hearty granite]

hi, thats right.
I'm trying to register students(Person),instructors(Student),BoardMember(Person)
The same Person can be a member and a student and in the future a student can be an instructor.

I'm not getting do this. if I register a member with a CPF and try to register a student with this same CPF, doesn't work.

[opaque rivet]

hmm, that's really strange and I'm not seeing anything any differenes. could you also print form.username and its type just to see its structure?

[opaque rivet]

you said it yourself - CPF is a unique field, right? That means it can't be duplicated. If you have student A with CPF 1, you can't make another student with the same CPF of 1. You should make the field not unique.

[deft coyote]

<input id="username" name="username" required type="text" value="">

it clearly knows its a form field there...

at the very least it is reassuring someone else looked at it and wasn't able to spot the issue within 3 seconds (which is how it usually works)

i'm going to dig into the wtforms docs some more... one thing i saw was passing the form an object to pre populate fields... https://wtforms.readthedocs.io/en/2.3.x/forms/

i haven't been able to get that working yet though

it doesn't explain why it is working in the other context though

[opaque rivet]

from what I'm looking up on, unbound fields are seeming to come from the form not being initialized

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/55348101/why-does-wtforms-have-unbound-fields-the-first-time-the-page-is-loaded

e.g. if you go into the python console and instantiate your form, and access one of its fields, I believe it shouldn't be unbound.

[deft coyote]

hmm

[opaque rivet]

what you did here:
was the form instantiated already?

e.g. form = EditRecipeForm("some_recipe")

[deft coyote]

Instantiating the form in the console/flask shell will require me doing some learning, it is complaining about me doing it outside of a request context.

I tried printing out details of the form immediately after instantiating it:

  form = EditRecipeForm(recipename)
  print(form)
  print(type(form))
  print(form.name)

and when I tried to load the page those prints didn't show up in the console, and the stack trace in my browser was the same. I just went to add the same print statements after instantiating the edit_profile form for users, and I got the console print... so whatever I'm doing wrong, it seems to be preventing those lines in the edit recipe form route from being executed

[foggy bramble]

can I pass dictionary into django template?

I have a dictionary smth like this di = {'English': '130.00', 'Italian': '200.00', 'French': '150.00'}

I want to use it in the template

[opaque rivet]

hmm, real strange. I don't know what the solution is. But you could have a workaround.

class EditRecipeForm(FlaskForm):
    def __init__(self, recipename=None, *args, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self.original_name = recipename

    name = StringField('Recipe Name', validators=[DataRequired()], default=self.original_name),
    submit = SubmitField('Add Recipe')

@deft coyote if you have a recipe already, this will set the default as the recipe name and might avoid that issue.

[opaque rivet]

yep, you can

[foggy bramble]

can u please tell me how

[deft coyote]

thanks @opaque rivet I'll give that a shot

[foggy bramble]

when I use smth like dict['item'] it cant parse

[opaque rivet]

def your_view(request):
  d1 = {...} # your dict
  context = {
    "d1": d1
  }

  return render(request, 'your_html_file.html', context)

In your view you can access context through

{{d1['English']}}

(as an example).

[foggy bramble]

I dont use specific name

I want to iterate it and print

for key in di:
  print(di[key])

something like this

[opaque rivet]

in your template:

{% for key in d1 %}
  {{ d1[key] }}
{% endfor %}

[foggy bramble]

this doesnt parse I've already tried

[opaque rivet]

could you try:

{% for value in d1.values %}
  {{ value }}
{% endfor %}

[foggy bramble]

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1275735/how-to-access-a-dictionary-element-in-a-django-template

this is the solution

key, value in dict.items

thanx

worked btw

[deft coyote]

oh god

i feel like such a moron

welp... sorry for wasting your time @opaque rivet ... the problem was a trailing comma... first 3 lines I pasted: ```py
class EditRecipeForm(FlaskForm):
name = StringField('Recipe Name', validators=[DataRequired()]),
submit = SubmitField('Add Recipe')

the extra comma on the end of the second line : (

[hearty granite]

Yes. But student is a subclass from Person. If i try to register student and the person exists, the form try to insert another person and set it FK to this student.

[deft coyote]

ah that feeling that can't be replicated.... the feeling of spending 5 hours troubleshooting an extra comma lol

[opaque rivet]

haha, that's tough 😄

[opaque rivet]

yeah - because when you inherit a model you implicitly have a OneToOne field between models. Saving a subclass will ultimately save the parent class.

just pass a unique id to each.

[hearty granite]

How to do this? If i do not want duplicated persons.

[umbral pivot]

hi so, i made this flask app: https://paste.gg/p/anonymous/d2539795d520415d8b59f69e7ecae258

Do you guys use REST or GraphQL?

[inland oak]

I started using Django Rest Framework, it is cool

[deft coyote]

@pale crescent have you tried switching the validator for that form method from DataRequired() to FileRequired()?

https://flask-wtf.readthedocs.io/en/stable/form.html#validation

[pale crescent]

oh

It still doesn't work

~~@deft coyote ~~

[deft coyote]

I'm reading docs right now, I haven't done file uploads in flask but I've been working with flask-wtf validators all day today

[pale crescent]

Oh, I'm sorry

[deft coyote]

np... this is what im reading https://blog.miguelgrinberg.com/post/handling-file-uploads-with-flask

i've been following his tutorial for all the other stuff i'm doing in flask

[pale crescent]

Oh okay

[inland oak]

cool tutorial ;b
it made my beginning in Flask as well

it is heavily outdated though, but that's the bonus of it

instead of copy pasting, you are forced to discovery how it should be really done)

[deft coyote]

i've been implementing a food recipe site instead of the microblog from the tutorial

it has been more difficult but also probably better for learning to try to do my own thing

[sand glen]

im making a website with flask and react. the react client will send requests to the flask API to fetch information and display it to the user. i will also make a public API. how do i prevent people from using the API designed for the react client?

[grim tiger]

@sand glen By adding authorization to it.

[sand glen]

wdym by that?

[grim tiger]

Authentication means requiring the client to login, authorization controls what you have access to.

What are you using for authentication?

hi, I'm running spike tests on django app with jmeter, can anyone tell me if that's how it should look like?

i mean shouldn't resposne time getting lower if there's less users over time?

[jade lark]

Are your queries or data increasing in size over time? As well are you testing in debug mode or with gunicorn?

[main night]

it's a simple page with one line of text on it, only thing increasing is users trying to visit that page

@jade lark

by debug mode you mean if djagno is still in debug mode?

[jade lark]

Yes, if Django is in debug mode

[main night]

yup

it is

[jade lark]

Turn it off if you're trying to do accurate testing.

What are you trying to determine?

[main night]

ipmact of spike on response time

i'm doing comparision between flask and django

it's my first time doing tests

i'm running jmeter in cli

[jade lark]

Gotcha. Is this so you can find out what framework to go with?

[main night]

it's for thesis

[jade lark]

Alright. Try running both in a production environment with gunicorn as that will be the most realistic approach.

Django will be slower and have a higher response time due to middleware.

[main night]

is gunicorn something like docker?

[jade lark]

No. gunicorn allows you to setup workers and threads so that your webserver isn't running on a single thread/process.

[main night]

that's what i thought but i still need to run tests for few scenarios and write something 'bout this

[main night]

oh, great, i'll do that

but still about my question, does this chart looks normal?

[jade lark]

Sounds good. Here's a guide to get your started: https://medium.com/analytics-vidhya/dajngo-with-nginx-gunicorn-aaf8431dc9e0

If you're doing more requests per second overtime absolutely.

The server wouldn't be able to handle requests as quickly and the event loop would be blocked. When that happens the response time will increase because you're waiting for the server (django/flask) to process your request.

[main night]

ok, i was worried that there are spike when users count drops, but it seems like previous users are still waiting for response, right?

[jade lark]

Correct. They would be waiting for a response.

[main night]

ok, thank you very much 🙂

[jade lark]

No problem! Best of luck

[native tide]

do you guys know what is the purpose of test.py in django?

[lime fox]

hey guys does anyone know why with this code,

i get this error ?

ah thats a little hard to see wait

 
mysqli_query($query);```

and the error i get = "Fatal error: Uncaught ArgumentCountError: mysqli_query() expects at least 2 arguments, 1 given in C:\xampp\htdocs\Website\signup.php:20 Stack trace: #0 C:\xampp\htdocs\Website\signup.php(20): mysqli_query('insert into use...') #1 {main} thrown in C:\xampp\htdocs\Website\signup.php on line 20"

[main night]

            mysqli_query(query ,[user_username, user_password, user_userid]);```

something like this?

[lime fox]

what is the "%s" ?

is that just placeholders?

ohhh and then you give the varaibles below i see, thanks

@main night im given this error?

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected token "=" in C:\xampp\htdocs\Website\signup.php on line 18

[main night]

oh, sorry, you're writing that in php right?

[lime fox]

yes

[main night]

you need to pass connection to database in mysqli_query

$con=mysqli_connect("localhost","my_user","my_password","my_db");
$query = "insert into user_table (user_username,user_password,user_userid) values ('$user_username','$user_password','$user_userid')";
mysqli_query($con, $query);```

i think that should work

and remember to close the connection with mysqli_close($con);

[lime fox]

my guy

thank you very much

where do i close connection?

after all the php right?

[main night]

after passing query

Writing unit tests.

[keen ravine]

Hey guys! I am trying to automatically login to my Microsoft account by selenium - python

[lime fox]

How would i go about writing a function that creates a random number of a specific length like:

function random_num($length)

[jade lark]

There is many different ways. What are you using it for?

[keen ravine]

This is my code

[jade lark]

There is many different ways. What are you using it for?

[keen ravine]

But it gives me this error

[lime fox]

creation of a user id

i tried a way but it just returned a random 1 digit number so i dont think i know how to correctly append a number onto a variable if that makes sense

[jade lark]

If you're using a db with a primary key it will auto increment

else if you want it to be a sting use a uuid/guid

with the secrets module

[keen ravine]

selenium.common.exceptions.StaleElementReferenceException: Message: stale element reference: element is not attached to the page document (Session info: chrome=89.0.4389.128)

Why it gives me this error?

How can I solve it?

[jade lark]

I wouldn't try and do this if you don't have much selenium experience. Microsoft has measures in place against it. They do have an API though so what you're trying to do might be supported that way

[keen ravine]

Am a beginner

So what should I do now?

[jade lark]

This isn't related to web development so I would look at a help channel or a different section

[inland oak]

in built unittest
launches with python manage.py test
you write there... suprise, unit tests to check that your project works correctly)

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.2/topics/testing/

this can be read for basics how to do it

or at least there I learned how to do it for Django

it is a big topic though

recommending to read some book about it

I wish to read Test Driven Development with python from O'reilly as one of next ones

[lime fox]

        $u_password = $_POST['user_password']; ```

so i copied some code off of a tutorial and im slightly confused, what does this part do ?

does it take variables from my database and set them as $u_username and pass, or does it take the user data that was entered during login and makes them $u_username and pass ?

[inland oak]

without more context it is just guessing
but more likely the last choice

[sand glen]

flask_login

[lime fox]

ok ill post the whole login php section, beware its a mess

<?php
session_start();

    include("connection.php");
    include("functions.php");

    if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == "POST")
    {
        $u_username = $_POST['user_username'];
        $u_password = $_POST['user_password'];
        
        if(!empty($u_username) && !empty($u_password) && !is_numeric($u_username))
        {
            //if the input fields arent empty + username isnt a number
            
            //read from database

            $query = "select * from users where user_username = '$u_username' limit 1";

            $result = mysqli_query($con, $query);

            if($result){

                if($result && mysqli_num_rows($result) > 0)
                {
        
                    $user_data = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result);
                    
                    if($user_data['u_password'] === $u_password){

                        $_SESSION['user_userid'] = $user_data['user_id'];
                        header("Location: Websiteattempt (1).php");
                        die;
                    }
                }
            }
            echo "Wrong username or password!";
        }else
        {
            echo "Please enter some valid information";
        }
    }
?>```

basically no matter what i enter, correct or incorrect, it doesent work if anyone could help that would be fantastic

it just keeps returning "Please enter some valid information"

Ive finished the registration part and its all working perfectly but stuck on the Login

[sand glen]

oof PHP

[lime fox]

i cant begin to say how much i hate it

however its due monday so any help appreciated

[inland oak]

as I said, pretty much data from form form
although more precisely would be said...
...well... if we translate it to python language...

weird hybrid language

$user_username = $_POST['user_username']; 
$u_password = $_POST['user_password']; 

python:

def handling(request):
    user_username = request.get['user_username']
    u_password = request.get['user_password']

or may it was query parameter, not sure

probably query parameter

[lime fox]

so how would i make it check the data that was entered against the username and password from the database, ive been at this really long just want to get it done very frustrated with it

[inland oak]

last time I used php, happened 3 years ago. And I did not reach databases

[lime fox]

ahhhhh well thanks for trying to help anyways

[stone citrus]

I guess if it's reaching the first else block, then the is empty check must be failing. Have you tried using isset() instead?

[lime fox]

sorry im struggling to see where youre talking about @stone citrus

there are the line numbers if you can tell me where youre reffering to

[stone citrus]

Sorry, I was referring to the if(!empty($u_username) && !empty($u_password) && !is_numeric($u_username)) check

[jade lark]

It already seems to be checking the information against the database

The really bad part is it's literally using plain text passwords though...

[lime fox]

ok i see where you mean now, where would i use isset()?

[stone citrus]

In place of empty()

[jade lark]

replace empty with isset

[lime fox]

now its returning "please enter some valid info"

instead of wrong user or pass

[jade lark]

also replace die; with die(); as it's supposed to be calling a function

[lime fox]

im pretty sure some of the variables are in the wrong places since i was messing around with them to see if that would fix it and i kind of lost track

[stone citrus]

Okay, it might be worth just doing var_dump for the variables to see where the logic isn't lining up

[lime fox]

these are what the variables are meant to be:

username entered by user into login = u_username
pass entered by user into login = u_password

username in database = user_username
password in database = user_password

[lime fox]

im not familiar with this what is this

[jade lark]

it takes an array and dumps it or an object

[lime fox]

and how do i do that

[jade lark]

var_dump($user_data);

[stone citrus]

https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.var-dump.php

[lime fox]

where should i put that

[jade lark]

Below $user_data

[stone citrus]

I'm not sure if it's making it to that block

[lime fox]

nothing happened what is it meant to do

[jade lark]

Yeah it's not passing the conditional check

[lime fox]

if($result && mysqli_num_rows($result) > 0)

this one ?

[stone citrus]

put it above if($result)

So var_dump($result)

Because at the moment your code isn't making it past the if($result) check

[jade lark]

Assuming the form data is provided correctly

[stone citrus]

Which probably means there isn't any data being fetched from the db

[lime fox]

nothing happened again

[jade lark]

then the form data isnt valid

[lime fox]

            <form method="POST">
               <label for="fname">Username:</label>
               <input type="text" 
                      name="u_username" 
                      maxlength="16" 
                      style="font-size: 25px"
                      >
                <br><br>
               <label for="lname">Password:</label>
               <input type="password"
                      name="u_password" 
                      maxlength="16"
                      style="font-size: 25px">
                <br><br>
                <input type="submit" 
                style="height: 30px;
                        width: 200px;">
            </form>

thats the form for login

[jade lark]

echo $u_username;
echo $u_password;
die();

[stone citrus]

I think you've mixed up your form value ids and database ids

So

[lime fox]

njothing

[stone citrus]

So $u_username = $_POST['user_username']; $u_password = $_POST['u_password']; should be $u_username = $_POST['u_username']; $u_password = $_POST['u_password'];

[jade lark]

basically in your form you have the name=""

[stone citrus]

To clarify,
if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == "POST") { $u_username = $_POST['user_username']; $u_password = $_POST['user_password'];
should become
if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == "POST") { $u_username = $_POST['u_username']; $u_password = $_POST['u_password'];

[jade lark]

Those values need to match the keys for $u_username and $u_password

[lime fox]

<?php
session_start();

    include("connection.php");
    include("functions.php");

    if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == "POST")
    {
        $u_username = $_POST['u_username'];
        $u_password = $_POST['u_password'];
        
        if(!empty($u_username) && !isset($u_password) && !is_numeric($u_username))
        {
            //if the input fields arent empty + username isnt a number
            
            //read from database

            $query = "select * from users where user_username = '$u_username' limit 1";

            $result = mysqli_query($con, $query);
            echo $u_username;
            echo $u_password;
            die();
            if($result){

                if($result && mysqli_num_rows($result) > 0)
                {
        
                    $user_data = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result);
                    
                    
                    if($user_data['u_password'] === $u_password){

                        $_SESSION['user_userid'] = $user_data['user_id'];
                        header("Location: Websiteattempt (1).php");
                        die();
                    }
                }
            }
            echo "Wrong username or password!";
        }else
        {
            echo "Please enter some valid information";
        }
    }
?>

i think i already changed it to that

[stone citrus]

I think we should just start from the top, since it's getting confusing where exactly your code is being terminated at

[lime fox]

<form method="POST">
               <label for="fname">Username:</label>
               <input type="text" 
                      name="u_username" 
                      maxlength="16" 
                      style="font-size: 25px"
                      >
                <br><br>
               <label for="lname">Password:</label>
               <input type="password"
                      name="u_password" 
                      maxlength="16"
                      style="font-size: 25px">
                <br><br>
                <input type="submit" 
                style="height: 30px;
                        width: 200px;">
            </form>
            <p style="margin-left: 30px">Please note: Username and password maximum characters is 16</p>
            <a href="signup.php">Not a member? Register here</a>
        </div>

so i change the name="u_username" to "$u_username" ?

[jade lark]

$u_username = $_POST['u_username'];
$u_password = $_POST['u_password'];
echo $u_username;
echo $u_password;
die();

Try this and make sure it's working first. This will make sure the provided form values are there.

[lime fox]

thats what i entered yeah

[jade lark]

Good

remove the echo and die now

[lime fox]

and thats the db record

[stone citrus]

Ok, so now under that do a var_dump(!empty($u_username) && !isset($u_password) && !is_numeric($u_username))

That'll show you the value in the if statement

[lime fox]

under the

$u_username = $_POST['u_username'];
        $u_password = $_POST['u_password'];
``` ?

[stone citrus]

So
if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == "POST") { $u_username = $_POST['u_username']; $u_password = $_POST['u_password']; var_dump(!empty($u_username) && !isset($u_password) && !is_numeric($u_username))

[jade lark]

Just so you know tvanom if you use three tildas top and bottom it does the code block

`

[lime fox]

bool(false) Please enter some valid information

thats the message up top

[stone citrus]

Ah cheers. I haven't used discord for code blocks that much!

Okay, so that means that one or more of the three conditions in the !empty($u_username) && !isset($u_password) && !is_numeric($u_username) is false

[lime fox]

should i remove the isnumeric part

technically dont need it t here might be messing something up

[stone citrus]

If you do ```
var_dump(!empty($u_username));
var_dump(!isset($u_password));
var_dump(!is_numeric($u_username));

above the if statement

Then we can see which one is failing

[lime fox]

bool(true) bool(false) bool(true) Please enter some valid information

password?

[stone citrus]

Yup

[lime fox]

ok why is it failing?

[stone citrus]

So when you printed out password, you got kacper13542 right?

[lime fox]

yes

[stone citrus]

Oh, you need to replace !isset($u_password) with isset($u_password)

I.e. remove the !

[lime fox]

wait i think we made progress maybe ?

[stone citrus]

It should make it into the if statement now?

[lime fox]

yep i got this back

bool(true) bool(false) bool(true) kacperptak01kacper13542

which means it made it past the if ```
<?php
session_start();

include("connection.php");
include("functions.php");

if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == "POST")
{
    $u_username = $_POST['u_username'];
    $u_password = $_POST['u_password'];
    var_dump(!empty($u_username));
    var_dump(!isset($u_password));
    var_dump(!is_numeric($u_username));

    if(!empty($u_username) && isset($u_password) && !is_numeric($u_username))
    {
        //if the input fields arent empty + username isnt a number
        
        //read from database

        $query = "select * from users where user_username = '$u_username' limit 1";

        $result = mysqli_query($con, $query);
        echo $u_username;
        echo $u_password;
        die();
        if($result){

as it echod the user and pass

[jade lark]

Remove:

echo $u_username;
echo $u_password;
die();

Replace with:

var_dump($results);

[stone citrus]

Ok great. Now before removing the die(); just do a var_dump($result)

[jade lark]

Ehh

[stone citrus]

Just incase there's a problem with the query results

[lime fox]

which die(); ?

        if(!empty($u_username) && isset($u_password) && !is_numeric($u_username))
        {
            //if the input fields arent empty + username isnt a number
            
            //read from database

            $query = "select * from users where user_username = '$u_username' limit 1";

            $result = mysqli_query($con, $query);
            echo $u_username;
            echo $u_password;
            die();
            if($result){

                if($result && mysqli_num_rows($result) > 0)
                {
        
                    $user_data = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result);
                    
                    
                    if($user_data['u_password'] === $u_password){

                        $_SESSION['user_userid'] = $user_data['user_id'];
                        header("Location: Websiteattempt (1).php");
                        die();
                    }
                }
            }

number 1 or 2

i put it before the first one and got this :

bool(true) bool(false) bool(true) kacperptak01kacper13542bool(false)

so it came out with bool(false)

[stone citrus]

The first one. So ``` if(!empty($u_username) && isset($u_password) && !is_numeric($u_username))
{
//if the input fields arent empty + username isnt a number

        //read from database

        $query = "select * from users where user_username = '$u_username' limit 1";

        $result = mysqli_query($con, $query);
        var_dump($result);
        die();```

[lime fox]

yes i did that and it came out with false

[stone citrus]

Right. Just temporarily change your query to select * from users so we can check if it's a connection issue or a filtering issue. So

        {
            //if the input fields arent empty + username isnt a number
            
            //read from database

            $query = "select * from users;";

            $result = mysqli_query($con, $query);
            var_dump($result);
            die();```

[lime fox]

bool(true) bool(false) bool(true) bool(false)

so false

[stone citrus]

Hmm, it should only be printing one value

Can you paste your entire code block again please?

[lime fox]

whole php or everything ?

[stone citrus]

Just the current version of ```<?php
session_start();

include("connection.php");
include("functions.php");

if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == "POST")
{
    $u_username = $_POST['u_username'];
    $u_password = $_POST['u_password'];
    
    if(!empty($u_username) && !isset($u_password) && !is_numeric($u_username))
    {
        //if the input fields arent empty + username isnt a number
        
        //read from database

        $query = "select * from users where user_username = '$u_username' limit 1";

        $result = mysqli_query($con, $query);

        echo "Wrong username or password!";

hey, im new to html & css and im creating a navbar, that's my current HTML:

<body>
    <div class="navbar">
        <div class="navbar-logo">
            <a href="#">Falk<span>Cool</span></a>
        </div>
        
        <div class="navbar-raster">
            <a href="#">Features</a>
            <a href="#">Buy VIP</a>
            <a href="#">Weiteres</a>
        </div>
    </div>
</body>
</html>

and that's my current (S)CSS:

@import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Poppins&display=swap');
@import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Poppins:wght@400;600&display=swap');


.navbar {
    height: 3.5em;
    position: relative;
    background-color: rgb(0, 99, 145);

    a {
        font-weight: bold;
        font-size: 1.1em;
    }

    .navbar-logo {
        padding-left: 2em;
        
        a {
            font-size: 1.7em;
        }

        span {
            color: rgb(255, 255, 255);
        }    
    }

    a {
        font-family: poppins;
        color: black;
        text-decoration: none;
    }
}

I don't know how i can move the "navbar-raster" to the right and center them vertically, i appreciate every answer!

[jade lark]

Such as a sidebar? Or a navbar with some elements on the left and some on the right

[fast yoke]

i have a logo on the left and clickable stuff on the right, but on one line

[jade lark]

@import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Poppins&display=swap');
@import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Poppins:wght@400;600&display=swap');


.navbar {
    height: 3.5em;
    position: relative;
    width: 100%;
    display: flex;
    align-items: center;
    justify-content: space-between;
    background-color: rgb(0, 99, 145);

    a {
        font-weight: bold;
        font-size: 1.1em;
    }

    .navbar-logo {
        padding-left: 2em;
        
        a {
            font-size: 1.7em;
        }

        span {
            color: rgb(255, 255, 255);
        }    
    }

    a {
        font-family: poppins;
        color: black;
        text-decoration: none;
    }
}

[lime fox]

@stone citrus my message is up there above this all btw incase you missed it

[jade lark]

I highly recommend learning flexbox as it is super helpful and useful: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/CSS/CSS_layout/Flexbox
Game to learn it from: https://flexboxzombies.com/p/flexbox-zombies

[fast yoke]

so the position: relative says that everything child element is relative to the parent element? and what does the width 100% do? 100% to what? what does display flex mean? What does justify-content do?

[deft coyote]

ooh a zombie css game

[fast yoke]

ill google everything

[deft coyote]

nice link

[stone citrus]

It's weird that it's printing 4 values. Do you have 4 user records in your users table?

[lime fox]

that was from the previous var dumps

ive removed them now and it just returns false

[jade lark]

position: relative; just means all child elements will be relative to the parent element. This is useful if you used position: absolute; on child elements. You can remove this if you'd like as you're probably not using it.

[stone citrus]

Ah okay. I think that means that you haven't connected to the database properly

I'm assuming you're doing that in connection.php ?

[jade lark]

align-items: center; means to align items vertically. justify-content: space-between; means to space the content on opposite sides of the parent element. In this case it would be the two child div elements.

[lime fox]

yes these are the contents of connection.php

<?php

$dbhost = "localhost";
$dbuser = "root";
$dbpass = "";
$dbname = "website_db";

if(!$con = mysqli_connect($dbhost,$dbuser,$dbpass,$dbname))
{
    die("faiied to connect!");
}

[jade lark]

Thanks. Give it a go it's free and actually really helpful.

[deft coyote]

yeah im aiming my crossbow already

this is neat

[lime fox]

my database name is website_db and the table for login is called user_table

[fast yoke]

okay thanks for the help

[stone citrus]

Oh, so the table that stores the usernames and passwords is called user_table ?

[lime fox]

yes

[stone citrus]

Okay, you probably need to change $query = "select * from users;"; to $query = "SELECT * FROM user_table;";

[lime fox]

uhh

object(mysqli_result)#2 (5) { ["current_field"]=> int(0) ["field_count"]=> int(3) ["lengths"]=> NULL ["num_rows"]=> int(3) ["type"]=> int(0) }

is that a good thing ?

@stone citrus

[jade lark]

🥳

yes

[lime fox]

so what does this mean

[stone citrus]

I think we were selecting data from a non-existent table before, so no results were being returned

[lime fox]

i see

[stone citrus]

Okay, now you can replace the query with the conditions you had before, so $query = "SELECT * FROM user_table WHERE user_username = '$u_username' limit 1;";

[lime fox]

should i remove tthe vardump now ?

[stone citrus]

You can remove the var_dump and die(), yes

[jade lark]

Just know ptak this script should not be used in production.

[stone citrus]

So that block should look like this

 $query = "SELECT * FROM user_table WHERE user_username = '$u_username' limit 1;";

            $result = mysqli_query($con, $query);
            if($result){

[jade lark]

It's prone to SQL injection and a bunch more.

[stone citrus]

Yeah, you should look into mysqli_real_escape_string()

[lime fox]

its just for a basic assignment there isnt any marks for security and stuff

[stone citrus]

Or PDOs

Ah fair enough then

[jade lark]

I was going to say PDO now

[lime fox]

now im getting this :

Warning: Undefined array key "u_password" in C:\xampp\htdocs\Website\login.php on line 29
Wrong username or password!

[stone citrus]

Right, so if you make those above changes, what's the output looking like?

[lime fox]

this is line 29

[jade lark]

swap to user_password

and user_username

[lime fox]

which one the first or second

[jade lark]

as those are the column names

$user_data['user_password']

[stone citrus]

Yeah, so if($user_data['user_password'] === $u_password) {

[lime fox]

nothing happened

there was no error though

[stone citrus]

Ok, so that probably means that it ran as expected?

[jade lark]

It probably worked then

[lime fox]

should it not redirect me to websiteattempt (1).PHP?

[jade lark]

below the header(); add echo "Ran successfully";

[stone citrus]

You can remove the last die();

[jade lark]

Or that too

[stone citrus]

Probably best to do what magic said

[lime fox]

same again, and it didnt return anything

<?php
session_start();

    include("connection.php");
    include("functions.php");

    if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == "POST")
    {
        $u_username = $_POST['u_username'];
        $u_password = $_POST['u_password'];
   
        if(!empty($u_username) && isset($u_password) && !is_numeric($u_username))
        {
            //if the input fields arent empty + username isnt a number
            
            //read from database

            $query = "SELECT * FROM user_table WHERE user_username = '$u_username' limit 1;";

            $result = mysqli_query($con, $query);
            if($result){

                if($result && mysqli_num_rows($result) > 0)
                {
        
                    $user_data = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result);
                    
                    
                    if($user_data['user_password'] === $u_password){

                        $_SESSION['user_userid'] = $user_data['user_id'];
                        header("Location: Websiteattempt (1).php");
                        echo "Ran successfully";
                    }
                }
            }
            echo "Wrong username or password!";
        }else
        {
            echo "Please enter some valid information";
        }
    }
?>

[jade lark]

wait whoops

add it before the header

[lime fox]

still nothing

[jade lark]

remove the header too

[lime fox]

i have a feeling i messed up on the session part

[jade lark]

probably is redirecting

You'd get an error if you did I believe

[lime fox]

hahaha

a bit of a mixed message

Warning: Undefined array key "user_id" in C:\xampp\htdocs\Website\login.php on line 31
Ran successfullyWrong username or password!

[jade lark]

cause it didnt die

so

echo "ran successfully!";
die();

[lime fox]

so it worked but whats the user id error

$_SESSION['user_userid'] = $user_data['user_id'];

[jade lark]

user_id doesn't exist in the result from sql

it's supposed to be

[lime fox]

i have a feeling this isnt real

[jade lark]

$user_data[''user_user_id"];

[lime fox]

user_userid but yeah did that

[jade lark]

Then it worked

[lime fox]

how do i make it redirect me to home page

and also make sure that im logged in

[jade lark]

remove the echo and die();

then re-add the header

[lime fox]

okay it works thats great but i need to make sure that it doesent work when i put the wrong stuff in

[jade lark]

so try putting invalid info

[lime fox]

how do i clear a session?

beacuse im perma logged in

[stone citrus]

Open a private browsing window

[lime fox]

moment of truth

omg

i actually cant believe it

[jade lark]

Now the important thing is do you understand what you had to change to get it to work?

[lime fox]

i think i did yes

[stone citrus]

Yeah, debugging code is definitely a process that you'll get better at over time

I like to do it systematically, so go from top to bottom, checking if your if statements are passing, checking the value of variables etc.

[lime fox]

yeah im used to doing it just that this is my first ever html/php project and i missed every single class we had on it in school due to an injury so everything i have it from w3schools or youtube

and ive been sitting here for 6 hours

[stone citrus]

Those situations are always rough

Is the assignment just a login system?

[jade lark]

https://laracasts.com/series/php-for-beginners

[lime fox]

its a whole website

[jade lark]

I highly recommend laracasts for PHP

[lime fox]

that was just the login system i was stuck on

[jade lark]

Better practices as well

[lime fox]

yeah ill check it out thanks alot magic and tvanom you saved me

its likely ill be back tommorow because ill need to figure out how to do stuff with foreign keys and everything

[stone citrus]

Happy to help

Hello can I talk with someone with experience in React.js or an experienced HR
I'm struggling in my job search and would appreciate a conversation

[fast yoke]

ist this little space normal? it's a flex box

[opaque rivet]

nope - go into dev tools and check if there's extra padding / margin which you didn't expect. You can then modify your css to remove it.

[opaque rivet]

i've got some experience with react, i doubt you'll find anyone in hr here. but whats up?

[fast yoke]

this are the styles: ```css
height: 3.5em;
position: relative;
width: 100%;
display: flex;
-webkit-box-align: center;
align-items: center;
-webkit-box-pack: justify;
justify-content: space-between;
background-color: #24252A;

[opaque rivet]

sure - did you check devtools?

[regal raven]

heyo, why does flask's redirect and url_for always send you to localhost instead of the same URL you're already on when using relative paths

i tried setting SERVER_NAME but that just gives me a 404 no matter what

this is the relevant section from my app.py

from flask import Flask, redirect, render_template, request, url_for

app = Flask(__name__)
app.config["SERVER_NAME"] = "https://blahblah.githubpreview.dev/:5000"

@app.route("/", methods=["GET"])
def index():
    if "interviewee" not in request.args or request.args["interviewee"] not in interviewees:
        return redirect(url_for("select"))
    else:
        return render_template("index.html")

@app.route("/select")
def select():
    return render_template("select.html")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app.run(host="https://blahblah-8x8x-5000.githubpreview.dev/", port=5000)```

print serializer.errors or see error response codes (not 2xx) with axios using the .catch() block. That will tell you exactly what's wrong.

[nimble epoch]

its django rest problem

[opaque rivet]

e.g.:

.catch(res => {console.log(res.response.data})

[nimble epoch]

when i submit the form with image in part serializer.is_valid() seems like it doesnt accept it

[opaque rivet]

okay - so print serializer.errors

[nimble epoch]

ok let me check

how long you been working with react and django?

[nimble epoch]

i think i got some stupid errors json { "username": [ "This field is required." ], "password": [ "This field is required." ] }

and i checked the data all been there

[opaque rivet]

so what is the structure of request.data?

[nimble epoch]

wait..

the models are seperated

and im trying to get AccountSerializer data from UserSerializer can it be related?

while they are two seperated serializers

[nimble epoch]

username: username
password: passwrod
pp: (binary)

and the source => ```
------WebKitFormBoundaryw5VIe3qAQArAE3K4
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="username"

username
------WebKitFormBoundaryw5VIe3qAQArAE3K4
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="password"

passwrod
------WebKitFormBoundaryw5VIe3qAQArAE3K4
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="pp"; filename="avatar7.png"
Content-Type: image/png

Yes you can nest serializers. If it's a one-to-many relationship give it the kwarg many=True

class UserSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    account = AccountSerializer(read_only=True)
    class Meta:
        model = User
        fields = ['username', 'password', 'account']

serializer.data would result in:

{'username': 'x',
'password': 'y',
'account': [{'pp': 'z'}, {...}]

The issue is that the username and password fields aren't detected. but the pp field is?

[nimble epoch]

yes

i think thats bacause i have two different serializers

wait a minute i try a thing

[opaque rivet]

https://github.com/encode/django-rest-framework/issues/7262

looks like DRF doesn't support nested serializers when it's multipart/formdata

[nimble epoch]

oh ok thanks ill check it

[opaque rivet]

I think this explains the problem exactly

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42253788/django-rest-framework-refusing-to-accept-multipart-form-data

And I think the DRF multipart parser would help. I haven't used it though

@nimble epoch

[nimble epoch]

i think i got it

i changed the serializer and its working

[nimble epoch]

yes?

[opaque rivet]

what did you change?

[nimble epoch]

i have two serializer

i been using field that didnt even exists in UserSerializer

class AccountSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    class Meta:
        model = Account
        fields = ['pp']

class UserSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    account = AccountSerializer(read_only=True)
    class Meta:
        model = User
        fields = ['username', 'password', 'account']```

i been getting 'pp' field directly from UserSerializer

[opaque rivet]

so the pp field did not exist in your Account model?

[nimble epoch]

no pp field doesnt exists in User model

[opaque rivet]

but... you're not trying to access the pp field in the User model, you're accessing it from the Account model

[nimble epoch]

yes but in the last example i been trying to set image to pp field from UserSer while UserSer didnt even have that field name

ok thanks @opaque rivet appreciate your time

[regal raven]

big pp hours

[nimble epoch]

lol

[regal raven]

there is a reason "pfp" is the canonical abbreviation of profile picture, and not "pp"

[opaque rivet]

well, the pp field is coming from the AccountSerializer, but read_only=True. So setting read_only=False should allow you to set that

[nimble epoch]

wow

maybe
