web-development

[ionic raft]

That's not working. I'm going to need to add a new user...I just reset the password for that superuser and gtting the same error.

[native tide]

Guys, I got a problem with flask. Could you help me If I sent the Code and error here?

[ionic raft]

I just reset the password for lanesflow user. Copy/pasted password....same error.
Going to try and add a new superuser.

[inland oak]

https://medium.com/coding-blocks/creating-user-database-and-adding-access-on-postgresql-8bfcd2f4a91e

[native tide]

Please?

[inland oak]

I want to be just coding too, or being just devops
but in reality I fulfill backend/devops roles, not the mentioning architect and security in addition now
a bit too much for one person, I want to fulfill just one role, not everything
😱

[ionic raft]

I just created a new superuser...I get the same error....there is a problem with authentication

[ionic raft]

Something doesnt make sense...I create a new user...validate superuser...and get:
FATAL: password authentication failed for user "lanesflow"

So, let me get this straight...no superuser in this DB can sign in to the front-end????

How is that even remotely making sense?

[inland oak]

u know, for time while u develop, it would be just easier to have temporal postgresql raised at you every application start

with auto user creation

[ionic raft]

That won't work. There are parts of the application that would fail

[proper hinge]

Is this an issue with authentication with the database, or authenticating as a Django user?

[inland oak]

put initial data into yml and load from it.
configs should be configs
not the data in database outside of your code revisioning

[ionic raft]

I am going to sign up through the front end, give superuser rights onto the back end, and try that way

Because this...what is happening...is making NO sense

At all

[proper hinge]

So can your app connect to the db or not?

[inland oak]

checking with console client would be a solution

[proper hinge]

Well I am unclear if the auth error is connecting to the db, or if they have a login system and just cannot login (e.g. to admin app)

[inland oak]

or if firewall got enabled by accident or something

better start with pinging by telnet ipaddress port

[ionic raft]

Oh wait...it's the DB account password that is failing!

I removed quotes...I will try with double quotes

No...it's the single quotes that I didn't remove from around the password

[ionic raft]

Apparently I can't log in. 500 Server Error has gone. But no account can login. That is progress

When I am creating users to enter the front-end, do I need to create users in a different table?

[inland oak]

super admin or regular ones for frontend access?

[ionic raft]

Front end access.

That's the bit I need to fix. the front end superuser account is the one who's pss I need to change

I've been changing super admins

This has been the central problem. All of the sudden, the application superuser password started not working. I suspected this was the issue. However, I just created a user on the front end that doesn't show under /du. Which shows me there is a user table...and it's THOSE users I need to change. Ordinarily, I'd go in through /admin. But, I don't have a front end superuser to access /admin. Catch 22

That's the confusing part. I create an account TestAccount on the front end....but that does NOT show in /du. Even though i can log in AS that account.

I am reading the documentation and whatever this is about is NOT clear...at all

[ionic raft]

If I create a user on the front-end, (TestAccount) where does that user display? It's not showing under /du

[inland oak]

front end created user go to the table Users within your LanesFlow database. They are purely data-record in table

/du shows users of the database to make connection to database

those are two separated entities

[ionic raft]

Ahhh...OK. I'll look up how to access user table.

And how to change password for users on that table

[inland oak]

the best way to access it python manage.py shell then it goes for few more commands..
or using your django admin interface

[ionic raft]

Because THAT is what I need to get done

[ionic raft]

But I can't get into admin. My superuser is locked out

[inland oak]

python manage.py shell works without superuser

[ionic raft]

Even though I have a password manager, apparently, the password stopped being accepted yesterday

And where exactly do I run python manage.py shell?

[inland oak]

in container with _web

[proper hinge]

Your database table might have been wiped

[ionic raft]

this all comes back to....that user's password suddenly not being accepted.

[ionic raft]

And that REALLY concerns me.

[proper hinge]

And to run that command you can use docker exec to launch a shell in the running container

[inland oak]

a) either you tinkered with it b) someone accessed the root user perhaps
next time better changing default postgresql password to something complicated or making better setting for allowing who can connnect at the postgres config 🤔
and better disabling ssh access with password, id_rsa is more than enough

[proper hinge]

Yeah part of this process will be setting up the volume properly and also setting up an automated backup solution

[ionic raft]

And how do I find the container? I am in the directory where the container was launched

[inland oak]

docker ps

[proper hinge]

docker exec -it container_id /bin/bash

And you can get the ID from docker ps

IIRC it's the very first value in the table of the command's output

[ionic raft]

Ahj ha!

I finally have the python console inside the container!

OK. Thanks guys!
SO now....I get to change the password for the superuser....

[inland oak]

🎉

[ionic raft]

I apologize for being so dense...your collective patience....is appreciated

[inland oak]

if u think we were any different when starting, you will be wrong ;b

[ionic raft]

OK. So, now I can run python manage.py createsuperuser <name> and should get a prompted for a password?
Nope...that's not right

[ionic raft]

I am taking EXTENSIVE NOTES.

[proper hinge]

Oh it just occurred to me there's probably a shortcut to get into the shell with docker compose and sure enough there is docker-compose exec service_name /bin/bash

service name is easy to remember so no need to look up IDs

[ionic raft]

Nice.
So, it turns out, I'm in the console >>> But I'm not using the right command.

[inland oak]

I think it should be possible with docker-compose run, but did not try it yet

docker-compose exec looks cool too

[proper hinge]

Yeah that's true if you don't have a running container yet; you can override the entrypoint and start one

[ionic raft]

I don't think that the console is where I can create a superuser

[proper hinge]

Sorry, I've only messed with user stuff in the shell a couple of times and it's not something I remember well

[proper hinge]

You need to be in a shell like bash or sh

You're currently in the Python REPL

[inland oak]

disable python

[ionic raft]

OK. I just need to get the superuser syntax right now...

FINALLY!!!! 😄

I'm finally able to login as a Superuser...

OK...now to turn debug=True off! LMAO

[ionic raft]

And check this...NOW...profile pictures work!!!

[ionic raft]

YES! Finally...all core functionality..>TEST SUCCESSFUL....

I can only assume that there was something in those single quotes that was getting in the way.

[ionic raft]

And you sir...thank YOU! That find on single quotes...outstanding!
This has fixed another issue with profile pics and article images in /media that could not display. I am VERY grateful for your help, sir!

[proper hinge]

You're welcome

While I was debugging I took the liberty of cleaning up your Dockerfile, if you're interested

[ionic raft]

Sure. Let's have a look 😄

I need to push a new change up to turn debug off anyway 😄

You know...this Discord...without it...there would be no lanesflow

[proper hinge]

Improved layer caching and removed installation of unnecessary packages https://paste.pythondiscord.com/lojazajoqa.http

Since you said you're taking notes, I find that apt-get snippet handy

[ionic raft]

I will take it for a spin right now 😄

[proper hinge]

An overkill solution would be to create a separate build stage for psycopg2 that dumps out a wheel. That way none of those build deps are in the final image anyway. But the size difference is trivial I bet so meh

[ionic raft]

Frickin LOVE Docker for what it is. Just had to bang my head against a wall for a couple of days to get here...

[ionic raft]

The web app...on the front end...is fast...so not concerned right now.
But I do plan on taking a CI/CD course...and building out a proper pipeline

As someone who has built word press sites in the past...shifting to Django....holy crap...FASTER!

[inland oak]

I have somewhere docker-compose for wordpress

my eye did not notice the speed difference

I think it could be seen only with performance testing

[ionic raft]

I'm talking about the overhead that comes with WordPress core and using plug ins. I didn't do WP dev...just pieced together sites.

[ionic raft]

Your revised dockerfile runs like a charm! TYVM

oh my goodness....SUCH relief. Very grateful!

Ok. Now...off to learn about CI/CD, pipeline, testing, staging...so much to learn!

then load balancing, security, hammering microservices...

[inland oak]

yeah, my learning queue is a long one too
it would be great to have 48 hours per day ;b

[proper hinge]

It's not so much about speed as it is about reducing the size of the image. It's not something to be concerned about in most cases though.

[ionic raft]

I also noticed 15 steps instead of 20 on the container build. So your clean up made a difference directly

[proper hinge]

Oh yeah that last comment was just about the overkill build stage thing I mentioned

[ionic raft]

I'm going to be curious about building an automated CI/CD pipeline incorporating docker container.

You know...where it's built in the dev VM, staging VM, tested, approved, deployed

I already have dev work to do for v0.2

[proper hinge]

They key to writing a good Docker image is to understand how layering and caching works. If you're not mindful of that you can end up with slow builds and/or bloated image sizes

[ionic raft]

Do you recommend any courses online for Docker? I'd pay for a good course

[proper hinge]

I learned by doing and by being around smart people, not from any course. So I have nothing to recommend besides practice.

That isn't to say that courses aren't valuable... it's just not the route I took

[ionic raft]

I admire that learning style. 🙂
It's not my strength. I find I learn by being shown the initial stages, and then extending out

[ionic raft]

That said, this Discord community is filled with smart people!

[inland oak]

this.

after many months of usage I think to read a book though just in case to check what I miss

[ionic raft]

Well, as a solitary developer, I'm not currently around smart people...or any people when I work 🙂
So, this Discord will have to do.

[inland oak]

guess where I learned

my micro company is having me as a single dev

[ionic raft]

So guess what...that superuser...500 Server Error again...password apparently doesn't work again!
I'm going to do a reset behind the scenes...
But I'm puzzled...Even more so because when I change the password in /admin....and then try and log in, I get a 500 SE again.

How can that be happening?

Whoa....When I change use the resetpassword link in /admin I now get a 500 SE. Any ideas anyone?

The other Superuser account I created is fine

I can user /admin reset password for another account. But THAT superuser...trying to change in /admin...500 SE. What on earth...!!!

OK. I get 500 Server Error when trying to do ANYTHING with that user account.

I think i'm going to simply delete this User...there's clearly something wrong with it

And now profile pictures and article images stopped working.

OK...this can't be right...how can changing a superuser's password (or making a change to anything related to that user) in /admin throw a 500 Server Error? I'm finding nothing online about this that directly relates

What is as mystifying...media images were showing. Now they don't...

Which is a revert to what was happening 2 days ago.

Huh....SO....[Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/app/web/media/profile_pics/LanesFlow_twitter.jpg'
Media files not showing ARE the core problem...

[ionic raft]

How do ensure media files work in Docker? They're not showing up and their absence is making it impossible to update users

[inland oak]

I would just do unit test

it is possible to write unit test that checks media file existence

[ionic raft]

Hmmm....Well, I did manage a fix. I submitted a new profile pic for that user. It saved. And then was able to reset the password. So that's progress

[inland oak]

in your case, you would be better checking against already deployed server I guess

if you would work in linux, it would be much easier, since it woudl catch problems like that even in local development without docker

[ionic raft]

That will take some learning on my part.

Well, I put a workaround together

[ionic raft]

I'm going to build a CI/CD pipeline all in VM Linux

[inland oak]

anyway, u solved the intial docker deploying problem, I'll be not needed tomorrow then

[ionic raft]

the problem is not solved. I got rid of the 500 Server Error. But pictures do not show at all.

Either profile pictures or article images. They were...a while back. But no longer show

Ok...the problem keeps coming back...there's something not right with media...

[ionic raft]

Yes...docker deploy solved. Much gratitude.
Just need to work out why media is such a problem

At this rate, I'm just going to remove profile pictures...this is a nightmare

That said...I may have found what this is about...

Django documentation has MEDIA_ROOT for upload. So...
image = models.ImageField(upload_to='profile_pics', default='profile_pics/default.jpg')
Should go to media/profile_pics/ correct?

[fossil pond]

How do I check that?

[ionic raft]

What I SHOULD have had was MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'media/')
What I had...

MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'media')```

A missing slash...omg

[fossil pond]

That happens a lot trust me

[ionic raft]

I have literally just spent the past 2 days dealing with 500 Server Errors because of that slash 😄

It was a nasty one

[inland oak]

that's what distinguish a true programmer from other people.

[ionic raft]

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

[inland oak]

we insert incorrect password until the pc agrees

[ionic raft]

OMG...I laughed out loud at that

2 days ...on a frickin SLASH! LOL

I can laugh now...but bruh...

And it was causing the 500 Server Errors too. Because of a signal...causing the profile to save...but when the profile pic wasn't uploaded correctly....hosed. And it only happened when the picture was changed.

Which apparently I did.

Nasty little bug! 😄

Although...interesting...I just turned debug off...and profile pics don't show again...

So...need to dig deeper

[ionic raft]

Is this correct? STATIC_ROOT = "build/static"

[inland oak]

eh, it should be

technically you could shorten to one folder name

it will make build folder creation as not needed ;b

i ilked that approach though

build is build, can't be mistaken for anything

[ionic raft]

So better to have STATIC_ROOT = "static/"?
The end needs a slash?

The missing slash at the end would explain it not working in Prod

I'll try STATIC_ROOT = "build/static/"

So if that fixes this..

The missing slash at the end...makes me think this is the causew

[ionic raft]

Expanding this...

STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATICFILES_DIRS = (
    os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static'),
)
STATIC_ROOT = "build/static"```
Documentation is suggesting...

STATICFILES_DIRS = [
os.path.join(BASE_DIR, '../frontend/build/static')
]```

[inland oak]

u already have static folder busy with something

ah yes

STATICFILES_DIRS = (
    os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static'),
)

you should remove this one then

otherwise it will loop itself to death

trying to take from static and to build into static

wait a second

u can't remove it 😉

nothing will be collected then

[ionic raft]

So...replace

STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATICFILES_DIRS = (
    os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static'),
)
STATIC_ROOT = "build/static"```

with ```
STATICFILES_DIRS = (
    os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static'),
)
STATIC_ROOT = "build/static"```

[inland oak]

emm, is it still working now?

be sure you saved everything

before experimenting 😉

[ionic raft]

No. When I turned debug off...it broke again

it's working in debug...trying to work out why it won't work when debug is off

[ionic raft]

that's what VCS is for 😄

[inland oak]

quick catching on 😉

my previous colleage did not commit for weeks

even during heavy refactorizations

thankfully we fired him

git and testing is not needing for frontend, it is not like backend

his famous words

[ionic raft]

Documentation says...

[opaque rivet]

@ionic raft STATICFILES_DIRS should point to the directories which have your staticfiles. STATIC_ROOT cannot be in STATICFILES_DIRS.

STATIC_ROOT is the dir where your staticfiles are collected when you run manage.py collectstatic

[ionic raft]

Yes. I get that.

[opaque rivet]

By the way in production you need a proper server to serve your staticfiles

[ionic raft]

Using Nginx for that

[opaque rivet]

Ok nice.

[ionic raft]

The problem appears to be the uploaded files...profile pics...article images...

It collects just fine...1490 static files.

[ionic raft]

I currently have STATIC_URL = '/static/' STATICFILES_DIRS = ( os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static'), ) STATIC_ROOT = "build/static"

But uploaded images do not display with that setup in production. Work in debug

Unfortunately, it is a slow learning process. When you get errors, start with the last one, copy/paste into browser...and start researching what it is about.

The worst bugs are when you don't get an error...but it doesn't work. Just like I'm having now

[ionic raft]

nxinx conf doesn't have location for media....

[inland oak]

are u sure?

location /static/ {
    alias /app/web/build/static/;

[ionic raft]

That is there. but there is no location for media

[inland oak]

I don't know how u store media

[ionic raft]

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/62493604/django-uploaded-images-not-displayed-in-production

This has a suggestion...

there is a media directory in the root

[inland oak]

how is it called exactly?

[inland oak]

I see

[ionic raft]

But this makes sense...now I just need to get it working...

[inland oak]

the easiest approach would be making

volume connected to django and nginx

[ionic raft]

I tried

    root /app/web/build/media/;
  }```

settings.pyMEDIA_URL = '/media/' MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'media')

[inland oak]

u need to modify docker-compose in order to work for that

[ionic raft]

Ahhhh TYVM!

[ionic raft]

    build: ./nginx
    volumes:
      - static_volume:/app/web/build/static
      - media_volume:/app/web/build/media
      - ./ssl:/app/web/ssl
    ports:
      - 443:4000
      - 80:3999
    depends_on:

try something like this

u need added to nginx and web

[ionic raft]

Right...was just realizing thattoo

[inland oak]

tbh it is really bad

[ionic raft]

Ok...that makes sense

[inland oak]

because we lose statelesness of django

u start storing data there

[ionic raft]

Well, the profile pics are resized to no more than 250px. Article images are for writers only

[inland oak]

no load balancing is possible any longer

[ionic raft]

I did wonder about storing images off to another server.

[inland oak]

u will go only with buying more powerful servers then

[ionic raft]

That's important. to consider.
I could remove profile pictures...

And use image storage server for article images

[inland oak]

there is a service which generates them automatically

based on any input from database

[ionic raft]

Yes...gravatar

[inland oak]

or

you could store pictures in db

[ionic raft]

Currently, profile pic in profile model.py is image = models.ImageField(upload_to='profile_pics', default='profile_pics/default.jpg')

[inland oak]

i am sure it should be possible to store in db
may be even in built thing exists for that

[ionic raft]

you know, now that I think about this...I'm inclined to remove profile pictures for now...and have this built in when I can hire a developer who knows what they're doing 😄

I'll see what I can find w some research 😄

[paper mango]

how get data from button in html to Django view.py ---HTML button (
<td> <button class="crud" name="id" value={{ e.id }}>
<a a href="/eminfo/show/"><strong>EDIT</strong></a>

) ## in view.py like e=Employee.objects.get('id')

[ionic raft]

type="submit"

Not action attribute...type

[ionic raft]

Initial research is showing the approach I've taken. Use of media...

[inland oak]

if you will store media in db, u will have another round of problems with XSS attacks though, although if you would keep them out of db, it will be still a problem too

[ionic raft]

you know, you are making a convincing case to simply remove profile pics!

I think I'm going to remove for now. I'll store article images on another service and link to them. And I'll simply remove profile pics

This is not a big feature...and it's more trouble than it's worth to be honest

[paper mango]

EDIT button is in loop , i want store the value of every domain and retrieve in the function of view.py button in HTML ----- .<td> <button type='submit' class="crud" name="id" value={{ e.domain }}>
<a a href="/eminfo/show/"><strong>EDIT</strong></a> ------ and ---- view.py def getemployee(request):
e=Employee.objects.get('id')

return render(request,'show.html',{'val':e})

[ionic raft]

That's a whole different bag. You might want to break that down in a help channel. #❓｜how-to-get-help

[ionic raft]

But whatever the case, your button tag needs a type

[paper mango]

okay thanks @ionic raft

[vapid hornet]

Any python expert

[vestal hound]

just ask your question

🥴

[ionic raft]

I've removed profile pics. When you identified loss of load balancing....that's no good. They're not important enough for that cost. And as for inserting into DB. That's a problem for later.

[inland oak]

plus by keeping it stateless you can allow for yourself destroying this server at any time and rebuilding from scratch)

it is quite good to have

no attachments, easier upgrades

possibility to have two versions running at the same for thorough checking before making the main one

Hello, is there anyone can assist me with setting django source website form github. i am stuck at:

I added the line: export DJANGOPROJECT_DATA_DIR=~/Desktop/website/site-main
(this is my website folder path) at the end of the .bashrc file.

But I get nothing beside: 'source' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

I changed the command to set for windows but nothing happen.

Hello , i have a site where i display webscraped data that i gathered from a python script. Is the web scraping process then also considered a part of the backend?

[frank shoal]

if it happens on the remote, it's the backend.

[native tide]

What do you mean by remote?

[frank shoal]

on the server

But there's no rule that says your backend can't be a frontend for another service.

[native tide]

Atm i gather the data into huge csv files and then upload them manually to the database

[frank shoal]

Then that is neither frontend nor backend

maybe you could call it devops

[native tide]

Oh its only backend if its an automatic process?

[frank shoal]

I believe so.

[vital crest]

heyo homies!!! I've a quick question...

in node js you can render a static file like this exemple:

app.use(express.static('public'))

how to do it in flask???

[native tide]

that's not rendering

that's just a static file HTTP server

this is your answer
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20646822/how-to-serve-static-files-in-flask

as a side tip: using Nginx as a server for static files is more responsive

generally speaking

[native tide]

I'm coming from building full-stack apps with Node/React (REST API with Node, Client app with React, JWT for auth) and I'm wondering if I can get some input from the python community.

1. The only 2 frameworks that anyone talks about are Django and Flask, are they the only ones worth using or are there others that would do great?

2. Anyone have any recommendations for me to get up to speed and productive quickly with a python backend? I saw the Django REST Framework which looks promising but I'm not sure.

[unique ore]

guys can u suggest some flask projects :3

I don't know flask (we are supposed to be making a group project using python) but we are supposed to use flask which hasn't been taught to us

[vital crest]

thanks bro!!! good afternoon....

i think

[native tide]

Also if anyone has used this https://www.django-rest-framework.org/tutorial/quickstart/ I'd love to hear feedback and criticisms of it.

[inland oak]

this is good thing to use

if you are making rest api ;b

blazingly fast speed of development for sure

but takes a bit of initial learning curve

some people say that flask is more beginner friendly

people usually choose between django or fastapi though

[native tide]

Lol I actually just stumbled across fastAPI on github. This is so cool. Why haven't I heard about it before?!?

[manic frost]

FastAPI is growing in popularity from what I've seen.

You might also want to try Starlette, on which FastAPI is based

[native tide]

Hmm looking at Starlette I'm not sure. I think FastAPI (from the 5 min I spent on both of their documentation pages lol) provides just enough abstraction to be easy to use but not enough to be half black-magic like Django often appears to be

[distant trout]

im gonna do yet another clone project, this time twitch. I've picked out the stack, how does this look?

NodeJS, NextJS, Express, PostgresQL+Prisma, MaterialUI+StyledComponents, Redux, Stripe, RNative+Expo for mobile app.

also some other react based library pretty small

just picked out the tech stack so far, next i gotta do the overall architectural design

Am I missing anything crucial?

[native tide]

Personally not a fan of Next or Redux. With modern react you can do all the state management really without the use of any external libraries. useContext and useReducer are both great if state becomes to complex for a simple useState hook to handle (though context isn't exactly state management). Next is more of a personal quirk but I just don't find it necessary in most cases. I also dislike pre-styled components in general but that's another personal quirk. Other than that it looks good.

[distant trout]

hmm interesting, im honestly comfortable with skipping out on next, and as for redux, it's just become second nature to use it lol..

but you are right, i can probably skip on redux too, dont think state will get much complex for this project

[native tide]

Lol yeah like I said some people like Next maybe you will too. I think it's especially good for SSR if you need that, that's probably the only time I personally would use it. But Redux is honestly unnecessary and can have negative impacts on performance as well

[ancient loom]

Fastapi vs flask vs django. I feel fastapi can do almost everything in lot less code!

[light cloak]

Hi guys. Got a view function for a recipe creation form here. When something isn't valid in either the form or one of the formsets I have to render the form again including the error message. In the spirit of DRY I'm wondering if there's a way to create a helper function that I can call when I need to rerender the form using the code I have to repeat. Does anyone know how I would go about doing that?

form = RecipeForm() 
iformset = IngredientFormSet()
mformset = MethodFormSet()
return render(request, 'recipes/create_recipe.html', {
                    'form':form, 
                    'iformset':iformset, 
                    'mformset':mformset, 
                    'error_message': "Oops! A form isn't valid."})

Otherwise I have to reuse this same code in 2 places, which I've been led to believe isn't ideal 🙂

[fossil pond]

any way toi fix it?

nvm i solved it

cries in happiness

[distant trout]

kinda conflicted, should i store dark mode preference in the db or cookies/localstorage?

[quick cargo]

generally settings like that can go into db

unless its purely a static setup

because bear in mind if a user clears their session it'll remove the preference

[distant trout]

ah true, yeah ill store it in db.

[ionic raft]

That makes complete sense. A dark mode for my web app would be a nice touch down the road

[native tide]

is there any html, css, js discord server??

[eternal blade]

[fossil pond]

Hey guys, how do you debug Javascript in a django project? Let's say my script isn't working and I wanna debug my JS script, how do I really do it (to see if certain variables are getting populated and all)

[calm plume]

In the case of Next, I personally love it. The image and script optimization, filesystem routing, and an easy way to create an API are all really amazing. ISR is very very nice too. I personally see no reason not to use Next for any app that could be pretty complex. (Not trying to argue with you, just stating my opinions)

[native tide]

[slender whale]

If you guys were to build a website that served as a news site plus a forum would you look into building the forum from scratch or some other means?

I've been digging into website making and have been looking at react plus django. A lot of what I am reading though is saying making a forum from scratch is a bad idea.

[native tide]

Hello there decided to upgrade my web interface from simple html and text files to a decent gui and possibly a database what would you guys day best way of doing that would be. Currently it's all on flask but not sure what it's capabilities are

[quick cargo]

Well the ui side is purely down to html and css

No backend framework is really gonna affect how it looks design wise other than render some html templates

But generally yes, flask is fine to use

[serene delta]

just checking here before posting an issue on github, in the context of FastAPI, does anyone know if there a way to set the order of request validation for the query vs body parameters? i want this because query validation does IO but the body validation does not, so i want to avoid doing the IO if the body is not valid

[manic frost]

reading the body in itself requires additional IO

is the IO you're doing really expensive?

[serene delta]

no but's it's the diff between simple string validation on the body and hitting a database for the query

[manic frost]

maybe ask in https://gitter.im/tiangolo/fastapi first

[serene delta]

thank you

i forgot the gitter existed

fastapi has an official discord now actually, from gitter https://discord.gg/TNgAnEB6

[manic frost]

oh right

[fleet vault]

i need help with php dose anyone know ?

how to fix this

[native tide]

Im new-ish to Python, not at all new to webdev. Could someone give me a quick comparison between FastAPI, Starlette, and Flask?

[lavish ferry]

I can't help you with comparisons, but Flask is a nice.simple backend that let's you easily set up website routes and render HTML templates. Highly recommend for a beginner.

[native tide]

Not trying to render html im gonna have a react app for the frontend

[vestal hound]

Flask is like React

FastAPI is like React but better

Django is like Angular

[inland oak]

That's the comparisons we were missing 🙂

I always wondered which frontend framework is battery included like django, and which one is micro framework like flask

Perhaps you can classify Vue.js too?

[vestal hound]

you could say FastAPI is kinda like Vue maybe? but not reaaaally

[manic frost]

why are we comparing them to frontend frameworks and not backend frameworks? 🤔

[versed python]

are you saying this in terms of "batteries included"?

[dusk portal]

Lol

[dusk portal]

Lol

[native tide]

Hello.

window.location.replace(link); with flask is not working with FireFox. Any ideas how to fix it?

Or does JavaScript have problem with FireFox?

[manic frost]

@native tide window doesn't have a replace attribute. Where did you find this code?

[native tide]

I wrote opposite lol

There

Fixed

[manic frost]

@native tide What argument are you calling it with?

[native tide]

A string.

[manic frost]

Can you show the error you're getting?

[native tide]

It it currently a rickroll since it was a trial.

[native tide]

I don't have the code rn but I will also share that once I am with my laptop but the thing it, my application is supposed to redirect users to different websites based on their IPs.

When I tried it on Chrome, it worked

When I tried it with Brave and FireFox, I was not redirected anywhere.

By the way, a second question. Is there a way to IP ban someone using flask?

Or just get their IP and like temporarily store it or something?

[manic frost]

window.location.replace("https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ") works for me in firefox. Something else must be wrong.

@native tide The easiest way is to use fail2ban, probably. But I don't know about that much.

[native tide]

https://vgui.senkusorcorer.repl.co/ maybe this is still in host mode

Would you like to try?

Or privacy?

@manic frost

[manic frost]

worked for me

[native tide]

oHkAy. That means my Firefox is sus ig.

Nevermind then. Maybe it is only mine cuz I have JavaScript disabled or some fancy extension on.

[native tide]

Thank you so much!

[manic frost]

If you have JavaScript disabled, then yes, JavaScript won't work

[native tide]

No. I don't have it disabled by default.

But maybe

Just mAyBe

Because of some extension I installed and forgot lol.

[vestal hound]

do you have anything more substantial to say?

[vestal hound]

yup

[dusk portal]

lmao

[opaque rivet]

@fossil pond nice, how'd you solve it?

[fossil pond]

I basically clicked on all the folders and enabled public access.

Not only the bucket, had to make the folders public access as well

[opaque rivet]

Remember when making the bucket, did you untick a setting regarding public access? Is that only for the bucket and not its contents?

[fossil pond]

Yep I did do that.

Strange.

[versed python]

Never used angular but people don't really love it. People love Django though

[vestal hound]

yeah, React is a lot more popular than Angular

I guess you could say the learning curve isn't as steep

[versed python]

Vue even more so

[inner gulch]

has someone experience with fastapi so far ? i struggle with posting a list to the api right now ^^

[opaque rivet]

I'd say React is more popular than Vue

[versed python]

Yes it depends on how you look at it

In the end it all boils down to preferences

[sleek pine]

Is there any way to change flask subdomains?

(I know how to do it In development servers but I have hosted and there it's not working)

[native tide]

Hey there I wanted help

anyone willing to?

[opaque rivet]

Strange indeed, maybe it's something to do with the DEFAULT_ACL setting? I had it as 'public-read' and it worked first time.

That being said, what AWS service can I use to deploy my backend? Its containerized

[stark axle]

is there alternative to flask's secure_filename() that will only remove special symbols but not non-latin letters? E.g I want to provide user with access to original filename if its in chinese/cyrillic/whatever and only remove things that could cause security issues (database shenanigans, xss, etc).

Theoretically I could just do that with self-made regexp, but maybe some solution already exists? I mean - cloud filehosting providers provide you with original filename in their web interface, so there should be some workaround

[native tide]

Hi, i used flask for my project

but every time i typed the url http://127.0.0.1:5000/support i get no errors
but if i typed http://127.0.0.1:5000/support/ im getting errors

[native tide]

you set this path yourself inside of your code

so if you request a path that is different than the one you set inside of python code then of course errors will show up

[naive hawk]

i have 4-6s latency for django-admin change model page
evrything about sql in fine 220-290ms, all other time spent on logic calculations and rendeering
goal is to reduce page loading time

p.s. my assumptions:

• http caching with etag(but in this way code becomes hardly maintainable)
• pypy

question - can anyone help me in optimizing page loading time?

[glossy ore]

How can I show this form orderly ?? like Enter Title and then in next line Enter the content ??

[ornate swan]

pls send the link to download sublime text here

hi`` pika b

hu

[glad pendant]

@naive hawk pre-render the content?

If you know he is coming to the site, make it static, serve it with a Vary or via an edge cache

Is it an API or HTTP Response?

Cause you could send back the HTML CSS and start rendering the page, yielding a connection and then pipe the calculated parts later

[glossy ore]

who r u talking to ?? @glad pendant

[glad pendant]

That @naive hawk dude - thinking of speeding up page responses

The fastest responses are those you almost pre-load into the edge caches knowing they will be called

[glossy ore]

okayy (although don't know exactly)

[glad pendant]

Like it depends on the context, but most CMS and static pages being dynamic is a waste -they rarely change.

[glossy ore]

@glad pendant can u guild me through this one !!

[glad pendant]

Use a Wizard = https://django-formtools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/wizard.html

I mean - you could also just use a flexbox

@glossy ore look up https://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/a-guide-to-flexbox/

[glossy ore]

Thanks I'll check on that for now...

[glad pendant]

You could also be lazy and do my old horrible ways

<div>X</div><br /><br /><div>Y</div>

[glossy ore]

😆 I was thinking the same but changed my mind later ...

[glad pendant]

Flexbox is 98.29% + 1.3% = 99.59% supported

#winning

unless you live where I do where IE11 just never dies

[glossy ore]

lol I don't get a thing what ur saying (noob alert)

[final geode]

How can I fix my video page

https://ultimateimagination.com.au/video

The high-quality videos are ruining my page load time

[glad pendant]

cf-cache-status: HIT
cf-ray: 685dba62fdfcf48a-JNB
content-disposition: inline; filename="MVI_8906_Q7GeCsY.MP4"
Content-Length: 64954784
Content-Range: bytes 0-64954783/64954784```

That is never going to work - you need to have them setup as a streaming video format

Cloudflare already has this

or you can load them in smaller snippets

64954784 = 64mb

That's nuts

It must be able to load at around 2 - 4mb

maybe reduce quality

Also Vary: Cookie is not wise cause you will have very low cache hit rates.

Use https://caniuse.com/mediasource and stream the content

[cerulean badge]

when you order from an ecommerce site do they generally send you invoice on your emails?

[opaque rivet]

@cerulean badge yep

[cerulean badge]

and an option to download them on them from their site as well?

also can you name a few?

[opaque rivet]

I've not seen that before. Usually just an email invoice.

[cerulean badge]

ok

[mint folio]

@cerulean badge Do you mean for a customer or from the admin side?

[cerulean badge]

for customer

also how about a download invoice button for admin side?

[mint folio]

In that case it is up to you/ or the business requirements on if you want them to be able to download an invoice or not.

Yes, I would add the ability to download invoices on all ecom sites for the admin.

[cerulean badge]

ok thanks

[inland oak]

Let's resolve it gracefully.
If user visits with IE11, he just gets banner, which asks him to reconsider his life choices.

[glad pendant]

I just killed their cookies and said it was a forced upgrade security measure.

😛

No banner, waste of time - you can't save that won't save themselves.

[opaque rivet]

Company name - order number

Like if you've ever ordered from a business that uses woocommerce, check their confirmation emails

[glad pendant]

We have Order Placed

Order Confirmed

Order Dispatched

but with nice meta clickbaity subjects 🙂

"Order placed! Check your details", "We've managed to charge your card", "Your products are coming to you!"

Yes - also, include the JSON-LD metadata for Google

https://developers.google.com/gmail/markup/reference/order

[mint folio]

Its not that hard to come up with an email subject. Who is the application for? Who is the client?

I mean client as in who are you delivering the project to

Content for emails and stuff i would always get from the client

Then just pick whatever works for you. There is no one standard. Its like asking what colour should my website theme be.

Why did you delete all messages @cerulean badge

It does make sense, just not one somone can answer for you. And you shouldn't delete messages its rude.

[distant trout]

has anyone used RTMP before to implement live streams?

very few resources out there on this topic

[cerulean badge]

guys Im building a React app

Im trying to fetch my Django backend app

using fetch()

(async () => {
            const Response = await fetch('http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/auth/register/', {
              method: 'POST',
            //   headers: {
            //     'Accept': 'application/json',
            //     'Content-Type': 'text/plain'
            //   },
              body: JSON.stringify({username: document.getElementById("usname").value, password: document.getElementById("pswd").value, email: document.getElementById("email").value})
            });
            const content = await Response.json();
            console.log(content);
            return content;
        })();

this is my fetch code

it says

Access to fetch at 'http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/auth/register/' from origin 'http://localhost:3000' has been blocked by CORS policy: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. If an opaque response serves your needs, set the request's mode to 'no-cors' to fetch the resource with CORS disabled.

Apparently I can only use text/plain Content-Type

but when I use requests module in Python to request localhost:8000/... it works perfectly fine

anyone knows why?

[opaque rivet]

@broken mulch when you're making a request from your fronted to your backend, the request has a different origin from your backend, so the browser will enforce CORS. Your backend has to provide a CORS header Access-Control-Allow-Origin which specifies origins which can make requests to the server.

When you use the requests module in the terminal, it's probably the same origin.

[broken mulch]

thanks, what should I provide in Access-Control-Allow-Origin? is there a Mozilla docs for that

[opaque rivet]

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/CORS

@broken mulch are you using django?

[broken mulch]

yes

[opaque rivet]

@broken mulch there's a pluggable package for django

https://github.com/adamchainz/django-cors-headers

[broken mulch]

alr i'll check it out

[opaque rivet]

Easy to setup. Just install, add to installed apps, add middleware, then list valid origins

[broken mulch]

kk

[opaque rivet]

And the reason the requests are from another origin is because your server is running on port 8000 and your frontend on something else (e.g. 3000). There's docs on the spec for what constitutes a request that is not on the same origin.

[broken mulch]

yeah

[broken mulch]

can I just use * or do I need to list every single one

[opaque rivet]

Yeah you can use *, but in production list them explicitly

[broken mulch]

alright

I don't think I would change my React's port

so I'll just insert localhost:3000

[opaque rivet]

Sounds good. Also a note, localhost:3000 is different to 127.0.0.0.1:3000. I don't know why I'd actually like to know.

as an aside, if this is your first experience with web frameworks, you might find it a little top-heavy. Django is powerful but there's a steep curve.

yeah that's alot less complex

I might look at some flask documentations, and try to figure something out on my own

[cerulean vapor]

much of the management and boilerplate stuff in Django is so that one can build sites with many features, but I find that it's often too much for people to take in at once if they have no experience with how web frameworks work

[lost pivot]

hey everyone, i have a rather complex to understand question...

i have a flask web server running some content on replit and i have another site hosted using github pages (idt that matters) that needs to access some content on the site hosted on replit.
for simplicity's sake ill let the replit site be a.com and the gh pages site be b.com

now ive made the gh pages site logic using javascript and made a simple GET request to a.com using axios however this failed apparently becaused of a browser policy called CORS, which i just read up about and basically i need to make a.com (which was made using flask) to send a response when b.com accesses it with a header of Access-Control-Allow-Origin: https://b.com in order for the browser to let me use the resource on another origin (which is a.com).

and i have no idea how to do it. im fairly new to web development and i just learnt how to make flask web servers today so any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

[tranquil fossil]

Guys need little help ...
I have a little problem with my current Static Files Config.

Now the problem is that React frontend Build is also considered as static files when Django serves these files. Locally it works fine after creating a build from the npm run build command manually. But when I push this in production with two separate engines One Node.js for React and the other is Python for Django app on Heroku, then Django tries to get Build files from GS_BUCKET as configured for Media files and static files. So frontend build files are not picked by Django.

So I'm trying to make two configurations. Google Cloud Storage for just media files but Static Files should work as default bypassing Google Cloud Storage.

So How to make it possible. Please suggest to me any method to make them separate. Or how to Bypass Google Cloud Storage Config for just Media Files. Thanks!

[ionic raft]

Use the backticks 🙂

!code

Three of them either side.

You can edit your posts ^

put three like thispy print("Using backticks")

you can even add the letters py after the first three backticks to highlight the code

The good news, once you get used to it, you will do it without thinking 🙂

Typo...

[low badger]

!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.

[ionic raft]

Look for HttpReponse

You wantpy def index(response): return HttpResponse("<h1>Hello, World !!</h1>")

You were missing S in Response

AND...

Put the backslash BEFORE h1 for the closing tag

[low badger]

sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh

maaaaan

Welcome to the world of coding!

Bruh...I spent two days recently on finding an issue where I had a : instead of =

[low badger]

thank you xDD ^-^

[ionic raft]

Trust me....this is coding

[low badger]

that's happened always to me

[ionic raft]

Programming is dealing with very exacting syntax. There is no forgiveness really. 😉

[low badger]

Accuracy of observation

[low badger]

that's what I really like even though I don't adapt quickly xD

[ionic raft]

With the : vs = issue, the problem was I couldn't even see the issue. The two characters look so similar. Other more experienced programmers also missed it. Also because it was an environment file where there was a list of lines mostly with =. And two lines with :

DB_ENGINE=django.db.backends.postgresql
DB_NAME=lanesflow
DB_USER=lanesflow
DB_PORT=5432
EMAIL_USER:[e-mail]```
^ that 😄

Nasty one. Anyways...good luck, bruh 😄

[low badger]

thank you and good luck too

[ionic raft]

Coding is fun. I started Django in Jul, 2021, and Python in April. My first project: https://lanesflow.io

[low badger]

that's really nice

[ionic raft]

Thanks. I've worked hard on it. I spent June learning Flask but realized I needed more because my idea is complex. Django is FAST though 🙂 Really powerful framework

[low badger]

yeah that's the truth, django is so good

[ionic raft]

have dedicated email working in prod now. Emails come from [e-mail] 😄

[inland oak]

U a one of rare snowflakes capable to do front and back at the same time now

[ionic raft]

Now I have to code a webhook for Stripe

[ionic raft]

Thanks Bruh. Rare snowflake 😄

[inland oak]

I think I will never go for front.

I already go for too many back directions.
Backend/devops/devsecops/architect

[ionic raft]

Just as well. Building an idea from scratch...as the sole developer...you'd best be a rare snowflake or your site will look like or work like dogshit

[ionic raft]

Reminds me...once I get this webhook built, I've some dynamic forms with htmx to build to replace Inline Formsets, and then....learning automated CI/CD

Jenkins methinks...

[inland oak]

The easiest and laziest to learn in github/gitlab ci/cd

[ionic raft]

Yeah. I'm thinking gitlab as well.

[inland oak]

Quite recommending gitlab, I love it

[ionic raft]

Stripe webhook in Django...anyone have experience with those?

My brain is fried today...I may put this off to tomorrow. My brain is literally hurting.

well, my head is hurting...but you know

[inland oak]

I do

[ionic raft]

I'm using checkout...

[inland oak]

That is my current task

[ionic raft]

I think I need to throw a webhook function in the view

[inland oak]

I can say that integration itself is not the hard part

Hard part is passing security audit known as PCI DSS compliance

[ionic raft]

I got the checkout working in test. All that's left is to have the webhook so that I can get notified of sub success and update the record.
However, I believe I'm missing the capture of customer_id and email after the first checkout

So I think I need a webhook to receive the customer_id and email after they subscribe...and to receive subsequent notifications about their sub

Which reminds me.,...this will warrant a new branch! 😄

[inland oak]

Dont forget to delete them ;b

[ionic raft]

I do forget to do that, that's for sure

[rotund perch]

Hello guys, I wanted to ask does django needs any additional security checks or packages to be ready for production?

[ionic raft]

There are some settings to adjust. You want to make sure that debug is set to False.
How are you deploying?

[rotund perch]

heroku deployment, is it safe enough?

[ionic raft]

I've deployed to Heroku once with Flask. So I don't have direct exp with deploying Django in Heroku though.
At the very least ensure DEBUG is set to False.

[rotund perch]

only ?

[ionic raft]

That's the main one. How are you handling environment variables?

[ionic raft]

Also, what DB are you using?

[rotund perch]

Yes I know those setup

[rotund perch]

Postgres

[ionic raft]

That's good.

OK. Well, you've got the most obvious elements prepared.

[ionic raft]

You'll want to make sure your requirements.txt file is upto date with required dependencies obviously

Now, I'm no seasoned veteran in this though. So, might be good to see what else others have to say. I've just got the one production site so far.

[rotund perch]

Okay Thank you ! really appreaciate your help!

[ionic raft]

You're welcome. Like I said, I'm no pro. You should keep inquiring and get other opinions though.

I used Heroku with Flask to get some experience. In the end though, I needed my own URL so deployed to Linode. Using 2 servers, one for staging the other for DB

[broken mulch]

What's the best way to remember a user's login session?

[autumn hedge]

@broken mulch use cookies

[broken mulch]

ok

httpOnly?

what does discord do

I think discord uses WWW-Authenticate

[autumn hedge]

discord most likely using some sort of auth token

[broken mulch]

yeah they are

so if i use cookies

will there be security issues?

[autumn hedge]

theres always security issues. Auth tokens are more secure

do some research on google

[distant trout]

does someone know if node media server scales for live streams?

[broken mulch]

Alright, how would I do Auth Tokens

in React.js

HTTP headers are not visible

[broken mulch]

So after 2 minutes of exploring discord's localStorage and cookies I think I now how they're doing it

basically:
after I log in it will have a auth token

before page unload it'll add it to local storage

next time I go to discord, the token will be there
after page fully loaded the token will be removed from local storage
if I unload the page, it'll be added back again

that's my guess

[autumn hedge]

discord is a web app, so most likely
through the desktop app:
login -> creds sent to server -> auth token generated + session cookie created -> login redirects to account if successfull

[whole valley]

Hi

Can anyone here with intermediate skill of django apis building

I need a dev for my paid project which api have to develop in django

if anyone interested let me know

[frank grove]

Hi, im in github and trying to add this thin line after a header

how do you add that line after "materials"

[broken mulch]

Actually the token is Account Creation Date + User ID + A Unique

[ionic raft]

Well, that was interesting...building a Stripe webhook 😄 Did it though. Bit of a journey to get there

[ionic raft]

You might want to check the rules. I seem to recall that recruitment is not allowed. I'm not saying that in official capacity, but if it does break the rules you might want to know.

[ionic raft]

Are you trying to use Markdown?

[frank grove]

@ionic raft i believe so, unless there is a better alternative

[ionic raft]

I am not aware of an alternative. If you're building a Readme file that's what you've got to work with. I suspect markdown style may be driven by their css.

[copper hinge]

@frank grove you can use three or more asterisks, dashes or underscores

e.g.

***

[tranquil fossil]

Guys can u tell me how to solve this #web-development message

[plucky swallow]

how should i structure my dashboard flask app so i can easily update data sources?

[manic frost]

@broken mulch a benefit of cookies is that they're sent with all HTTP requests, including, for example, images

[cerulean badge]

(context django) if you are going to add a minvalue and maxvalue validator to a integer field anyway should you use IntegerField or PositiveIntegerField?

[ionic raft]

Not that I'm a pro, but the obvious consideration is how big do you need the integer to be?

From my limited CS knowledge, if there's a chance you need a huge number, then going with PositiveIntegerField just doubles your potential limit, since the negatives explicitly are not needed. But I suspect we're in the billions or trillions (advise research for limits on field types at that point). However, unless you're looking at huge numbers/big data/Science/Math heavy computations, if you're talking about mundane usage, the difference between those two data types isn't going to be meaningful.
It's all about specific context.

[cerulean badge]

its a rating field and has a value from 1 to 5

class Review(model.Model):
    user = model.ForeignKey(
        settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL,
        related_name='reviews',
        on_delete=models.CASCADE
    )
    product = model.ForeignKey(
        Product,
        related_name='reviews',
        on_delete=models.CASCADE
    )
    rating = models.PositiveIntegerField(
        default=1,
        validators=[MinValueValidator(1), MaxValueValidator(5)]
    )
    comment = models.TextField(max_length=1000)
    created = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
    updated = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True)

    class Meta:
        ordering = ('-created',)

    def __str__(self):
        pass

any idea what to return from __str__?

[ionic raft]

Then it really doesn't matter what data type you choose. Given that you'll never have a negative integer PositiveInteger would be fine.

__str__ is what you want the record to display as. At the very least you want...

return self.user

    self.user```

You can make use of the str though when you want to make the record make more sense.

[cerulean badge]

this is what someone answered me

its automatically returned based on the pk you dont need to override that method
if you dont want to override it just dont

what do you think?

[ionic raft]

That is correct. The use in using str though is that you can make adjustments to what you return as you need. I always declare it because during development I often need to show the record in different ways.

At any rate, I just wanted to share a success story. Apr 16, 2021 I started learning Python. I had an idea for a website. I chose Python. July 9 I started on Django. A few days ago I deployed v0.1.1 of https://lanesflow.io
I'm 50 years old, and have never coded before this. To any newcomer to Python, it's an amazing language.
As for LanesFlow, I've already got 32 items on my task list, and for v1.0 there'll be a Collaboration Map App to take this website to the next level! 😄
Side note - this Django Discord....HUGE part of the reason this happened!

[cerulean badge]

ok thanks

[vestal hound]

great job!

that's extremely impressive

[ionic raft]

As I recall, you've been a helper along the way! Thank you

[vestal hound]

I hope you are Following Proper Software Engineering Practices though

😉

[ionic raft]

Thanks. it's v0.1.1
I've got 32 tasks on my list for v0.5.
v1.0 is going to have an innovative Collaboration Map App.

I read 2-scoops of Django. Will re-read it I'm sure.
I'm solid on front-end-app-db separation. And I spent time structuring the project before I even began 🙂

[vestal hound]

do you mind sharing what you did before?

it sounds like @ least you have good planning skills

[ionic raft]

But yeah...this Discord....I don't know I would have done it without this Discord.

[vestal hound]

which is something people often fail to understand makes a big difference between "writing code" and "engineering software"

[ionic raft]

I am a business consultant. I train/mentor in process improvement (Six Sigma inspired methodology and information management). I have spent time working with a visual development stack and have implemented high-end IA systems for clients. I have been Business Analyst for 20+ years and Project Manager for many years. I've mentored BAs.
More recently, I realized I could take my 25+ years of experience in helping organizations to collaborate more effectively and the idea for LanesFlow was born. April 15, 2021.
Apr 16 I was on day one of a Python bootcamp.

[vestal hound]

ah, no wonder

that explains the planning experience

figured you were some sort of BA/PM

[ionic raft]

Likely. 🙂

Did I tell you about ALAN yet?

[vestal hound]

nope...?

[ionic raft]

There is literally nothing like LanesFlow out there. The tagline...Complex Made Clear...that has to mean something right.

Well, ALAN has something to do with that...Automated Lanesflow Assistant Notifier...

He's coded into LanesFlow. He'll grow as I code more of him in. But basically, he's the business consultant that holds your hand (or not, you can turn him off)

ALAN works with LEE (Learned Experience Engine)

LEE is about humans working with the machine to learn the things they need to do. The support system built into LanesFlow uses LEE so that support team members get upto date checklists of what to do at any given phase or category of problem

One plan is to hire an ML expert to enhance ALAN and LEE to the next level. They're the foundation though

I've been doing process improvement for 25+ years. There is nothing like LanesFlow out there. And the beauty is, the idea can't really be stolen because without the experience it doesn't work.

And the vision for this came from every bloody complex website that assumes you're an expert. Search the KB....visit the Forums...Enter a support ticket....use cross-site search that is a crap shoot for relevance.

All broken approaches IMHO

https://twitter.com/LanesFlow/status/1429321057278652423/photo/1

LanesFlow (@LanesFlow)

Meet ALAN (Automated LanesFlow Assistant Notifier).

Those using LanesFlow will have the option of being offered guidance along with links to articles, videos and FAQs at the right time. This, is Complex Made Clear.

Although I just removed the word "Task" at the beginning of those...

Correction...that is ALAN identifying that you did something unexpected in Project Management of a Process Improvement Project

[ionic raft]

So that is what ALAN is. It's the most exciting part of LanesFlow to me.

[vestal hound]

I feel like

the acronyms...

are a very marketing-oriented thing

[vestal hound]

I can see the usecase though

I know what you mean

[inland oak]

!rule 5

[lavish prism]

Rules

5. Do not provide or request help on projects that may break laws, breach terms of services, or are malicious or inappropriate.

[rigid anvil]

my bad im sorry

[rigid anvil]

Why would I be breaking laws?

lol

I thought i could get help on this server

[inland oak]

because you are making access to web site with bots without consent of the site creators

whatever the reason, it is malicious, because your software breaks their terms of service for sure

and could potentially heavily increase the load, depleting resources from other users

basically it is a beginning of DoS attack

usually, when person has consent, he uses official API to the service.

[rigid anvil]

But im not even using threading or async, it is just a simple program to learn python requests

understood tho

srry

[inland oak]

if u do it to your own website, it will be considered as just testing

or if you have consent

[rigid anvil]

Python is heavely used for scraping with or without an API, hundreds of atc bots are open sourced on github or stack overflow it does not affect by any means the creators of the site that I try or not to get help on this. imo ur just giving it too much importance it is not even ilegal. but hey, got it

[past cipher]

Is it possible to pass through the same variable to each route?

I have around 20 routes under one blueprint, and I want to know if its possible to pass through a variable to each and every route, without having to manually add it to the render_template return

[velvet yew]

How can I make the second div within the wrapper to fill up 100% of the remaining height of the parent div instead of extending it?

<div style="width: 450px; height: 150px; background-color: #c3c3c3">
    <div style="font-size: 1.5rem; text-align: center;">Text</div>
    <div style="height: 100%; background-color: grey;"></div>
</div>

https://codepen.io/martinmarko/pen/NWjoLOb?editors=1000

[past cipher]

it is 100% height already

minus the text block

[velvet yew]

It's more than 150px height

I want it to be 100% minus the text div's height

[past cipher]

the div container is 150px in height in total

[calm plume]

You could assign the text divs height to a variable and use calc(100% - var(--text-div-height) (not sure about the syntax, haven't used CSS in a while)

[velvet yew]

Yes, but 100% makes it overflow

[past cipher]

do as dawn said

or hide overflow

[velvet yew]

Is there really no simple solution?

[velvet yew]

I don't want to, I want to change its size because it will have a chart

I just want it to fill up the remaining height

Figured it out, this is much better:

<div style="width: 450px; height: 150px; background-color: #c3c3c3; display: flex; flex-direction: column;">
    <div style="font-size: 1.5rem; text-align: center;">Text</div>
    <div style="flex-grow: 1; background-color: grey;"></div>
</div>

[ionic raft]

This may all sound a bit fuzzy, but there is something thinking around this. When conceiving the idea I realized that by giving ALAN a name it would provide an anchor for an identity. Human beings tend to anthropomorphize things, to impress upon them that they are human. If the idea is to build an automated assistant (Jarvis is a good name too) then having a name offers a potential of building a strong rapport than not. At any rate, I hear the comment about marketing. I'd be concerned by that if ALAN didn't add clear value to LanesFlow. LanesFlow is better, without a doubt in my mind, for ALAN. And as for giving ALAN a name, remember that ALAN sends messages offering guidance and suggested course corrections for users involved in what can be fairly complex activities. Having an identity to sign off on those letters just happens to make me smile.

[native tide]

Yello...Anyone online...I need help on django

[opaque rivet]

@mystic lotus wrong server mate

[mystic vortex]

Someone help

[opaque rivet]

nginx question, when visiting 0.0.0.0/ I get the nginx introduction page.

But, when I visit a URL config the request is proxied to my django server.

Any reason for that?

[mystic vortex]

Helle I need help with js and django

Plz help

Help

Help

😭😭😭😭

[eternal blade]

just send your question

[opaque rivet]

upstream backend { 
    server backend:8000;
} 

server { 

    listen 80;

     location / { 
        proxy_pass http://backend; 
    }
}

[mystic vortex]

Someone tell me how to get a response in django when I visit a site made with js

[opaque rivet]

@mystic vortex make an API with django-rest-framework. Send API requests from your JS frontend.

[mystic vortex]

I am new to this I don't know how to do that flask will be fine too but how to get the response

[eternal blade]

But didnt you ask "response in django"?

[mystic vortex]

I want response from the js front-end whenever someone visits the page the frontend will send a response to the backend

But how?

Is it possible

??

[eternal blade]

Do what nicky said

send a request to the backend api

[nocturne juniper]

Hello, I'm working on a Flask website. I'm trying to make login based on Discord oauth. I'm using flask-discord extension.
My issue is that www.mysite.net and mysite.net get treated as different domains and give different sessions/cookies on visit. Any idea how to fix that?

[mystic vortex]

Can I send request from one machine to another using it?@eternal blade

[eternal blade]

You can send a request to any valid domain or ip using that method

[mystic vortex]

Hmm

@eternal blade do u know any tutorial that explains how to do this?

[eternal blade]

no

[native tide]

Hello, how do I set permission for a logged in user on django ? Using decorators or something else ??

[opaque rivet]

@mystic vortex simply searching "how to make an API with Django"

[mystic vortex]

Ok

Lemme try to make one

[opaque rivet]

When your frontend and backend run in different context, they will have to communicate via an API.

[mystic vortex]

I have to send a http request right?@opaque rivet

[eternal blade]

http request

[mystic vortex]

Me dumb

[opaque rivet]

Yes, your frontend and backend will communicate via http requests. APIs are an important topic, so learn them well

[mystic vortex]

Ok

[opaque rivet]

@nocturne juniper maybe you could use nginx to proxy the request and send it to the same domain each time? I'm not too sure, that's just a thought.

[nocturne juniper]

It's the same domain, just a matter of www. and no www.

And I've read that cookies stored on domain.net should be accessible on www.domain.net but they are not

[eternal blade]

Hello, looks like the built in django user model doesn't allow unique usernames but it allows duplicate emails, is it possible to change that behaviour?
I know that I can create a custom user model but isn't there any other way?

[opaque rivet]

@eternal blade you could make a signal which checks if there is an entry with the same email, and raise an error.

But I think the best option would to create a custom user model.

[native tide]

Have you tried this hack

from django.contrib.auth.models import User
User._meta.get_field('username')._unique = False

[eternal blade]

Thanks for the advice 🙂
I will make a custom user model

[eternal blade]

Thanks I'll try that too

[mystic vortex]

@opaque rivet what libraries are there that can do this http request and post

[opaque rivet]

For JS, I use axios

[mystic vortex]

@opaque rivet I need to post the data from my frontend or I need to request the data from backend?

[opaque rivet]

You make a request to your backend from your frontend. The backend returns a response.

That's the request/response cycle

[mystic vortex]

I want like whenever someone visits my website my front-end will send a response to my backend and my backend will store that response in it

[opaque rivet]

It will send a request. Not a response

[mystic vortex]

Oops

[opaque rivet]

Django views take in a request and return a response

[mystic vortex]

What is request library used for

??

[opaque rivet]

For making requests

[mystic vortex]

So shall I use it or can I use flask

Will it be able to do that?

[opaque rivet]

Flask is a backend

[mystic vortex]

I know

[opaque rivet]

Yes you can make an API with flask

[mystic vortex]

Me getting confused that am I supposed to maake a request from frontend or request from backend

I want to send some data from my front end to my backend, but how, will it require api and who needs to make the request the front end or the backend

[ionic raft]

That is what @opaque rivet was pointing at when Flask was suggested. A web development framework, such as Flask, will allow you to accomplish the sending of data from the front-end to the back-end. It is what they are built for.
Sure, you could code from the ground up, but web dev Frameworks save you a lot of time and make it easier to get started.

Flask is great to get started. Django is great for when you've gotten started but want to build a much more complex/interactive web site that does lots of things.

[dusk portal]

r u there plz i need help asap @ionic raft

[ionic raft]

Wussup...I'm but a noob. If I can help I will

[dusk portal]

u have worked with OneToOneField?

[ionic raft]

I have one use of it...User to Profile. Profile has a user.

[dusk portal]

class Profile(models.Model):
    user=models.OneToOneField(User,on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    image=models.ImageField(default='default.jpeg',upload_to='Profile_Pics')``` so this is my profile model so user can make thier profile user will be taken by thier account  , and image will be option for them

how can i use it to show only profile of that particular user

how can i query data for only that particular logged in user

i have done that by Foreign Key not OneToOne field

@ionic raft

@login_required
def profile(request):
    queryset=User.objects.all()
    return render(request,'users/profile.html',{'queryset':queryset})```

{% for q1 in queryset %}```

[ionic raft]

I've managed that by running a queryset on the request. When a user visits their profile page I query for the profile that has user=request.user.

[dusk portal]

ohh

how can i do that my OneToOneField

i have done say thing with ForiegnKey

;-;

[dusk portal]

ig im filtering correct im doing wrong in this

[ionic raft]

Well, the field will have a populated value, right? Because it's OnetoOne that means, when you query the user_object = Profile.objects.get(user=request.user) you get that single object back, which you can then use as the item displayed on the detail profile view.

[dusk portal]

for loop

[ionic raft]

That would work for a ListView. But for a Profile you only need a DetailedView

[dusk portal]

yes

wait lemme try

[ionic raft]

A OneToOne field guarantees just the one related record. And as users are unique you're guaranteed just the single Profile object to query for.

[dusk portal]

yes yes ik that xD

that;s why using that

else i would have used foreignkey

TypeError at /account/profile/
'Profile' object is not iterable  ```

@ionic raft

[rotund perch]

I think remove for loop?

[thorn igloo]

sounds like you're trying to loop through an object and not a list

[dusk portal]

um um

yues

[rotund perch]

try this

[dusk portal]

u were right

[dusk portal]

yeah done

[rotund perch]

yea just show up ur data once without a loop

[dusk portal]

bro

im making Profile page

i have to use for loop

damn

[rotund perch]

why?

[ionic raft]

Fantastic. Maybe I'm not an utter noob after all 😉

[rotund perch]

u dont need a for loop to show the profile? or do a profile page

[dusk portal]

lol i cant

XD

[ionic raft]

Yah. We were working that out. I believe he's solved the problem

[dusk portal]

@rotund perch read from here

i need a loop cez how would i render that by db then

[rotund perch]

with this

[ionic raft]

That's different. If you query for a list of objects, now you've got a loop to iterate through with {% for %}

[dusk portal]

@login_required
def profile(request):
    queryset=Profile.objects.get(user=request.user)
    return render(request,'users/profile.html',{'queryset':queryset})```

ohk correct?

[rotund perch]

ok go to ur html and remove for loop

[dusk portal]

done removed now

[ionic raft]

Let me put it another way. Look to an object that has one or many FK. That will mean the potential for a list of objects when building the queryset. With a list of objects you use a for loop in a ListView

[dusk portal]

@rotund perch

[rotund perch]

try to run server now

[dusk portal]

yes done it working but how will i retrive the user PROFILE now

[rotund perch]

maybe he did not took those lessons yet.

[dusk portal]

class Profile(models.Model):
user=models.OneToOneField(User,on_delete=models.CASCADE)
image=models.ImageField(default='default.jpeg',upload_to='Profile_Pics')

[dusk portal]

umm

how can i retrive now i have to use for loop

;-;

[ionic raft]

Side note. I discovered that deploying uploaded images to a production server becomes an interesting challenge for Django. When you get ready for promotion to production server ask me. It would be better to explain then.

sure

[ionic raft]

If you have a OneToOne field you will only have one Profile. With only one object you will NEVER have a list. YOu can always use objects.get()

[rotund perch]

show me html again

[dusk portal]

but in html im asking

[ionic raft]

Think...FK = list is possible.
OtO = get is always possible

[ionic raft]

And I'm suggesting to pick another model to flesh out the example.

[ionic raft]

Look to your models...pick a model that has a FK field.

Showing you how to work through a list for a OtO field in a template is not helpful

[rotund perch]

{% queryset %} i think?

[dusk portal]

i can do by fk it's ezz just query all() then variablename.modelname_set.all
and done

[rotund perch]

sorry {{ }}

[dusk portal]

i have done that by FK in ecommerce for order history

[ionic raft]

As for the raw html, yes

{% for object in objects %}  # Where objects was the model/context sent by the view
    <p>Such as show the object's id field: {{ object.id }} </p>
{% endfor %}

[dusk portal]

ezz

[rotund perch]

sorry {{ queryset }}

[dusk portal]

;-;

no need of for?

[rotund perch]

no just put {{queryset}} in the h1

[dusk portal]

    <main id="profile">
        <div class="profile">
            <img src="" class="profile-pic" alt="profile picture">
            <div class="profile-details">
                <h1></h1>
                <h3></h3>
                <p class="discription">
                    discription Lorem ipsum, dolor sit amet consectetur adipisicing
                    elit. Cupiditate repudiandae recusandae
                    deleniti veritatis perferendis velit consequatur.
                </p>```

take code

@login_required
def profile(request):
    queryset=Profile.objects.get(user=request.user)
    return render(request,'users/profile.html',{'queryset':queryset})```

class Profile(models.Model):
    user=models.OneToOneField(User,on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    image=models.ImageField(default='default.jpeg',upload_to='Profile_Pics')```

[ionic raft]

USe this as a starting point...

{% for object in objects %}  # Where objects was the model/context sent by the view
    <p>Such as show the object's id field: {{ object.id }} </p>
{% endfor %}

ohk trying

[ionic raft]

you know, I've been working so hard on Django, it's awesome that I know that syntax by memory 😄

Started less than 2 months ago. Hope for me yet 😄

[dusk portal]

its my 3 month

django , its rest framework

and channels

[ionic raft]

Well, I've been doing 6-10 days on average. Full time effort for me the past couple of months 😄

I actually have been using pure querysets. I'm not sure if that is it's REST Framework. But I call it, Dancing with the Django DB

[dusk portal]

TypeError at /account/profile/
'Profile' object is not iterable

[rotund perch]

Wow, Good Luck Man!

[ionic raft]

That makes sense. you ran .get() right?

[ionic raft]

Thanks. https://lanesflow.io is my first web project

[dusk portal]

doing same thing but different model types

differ

too much

[ionic raft]

objects.get() returns a single object. it is NOT iterable. The error makes sense.
It's why I asked you to use a different model with an FK.

[dusk portal]

ohh

but i have to do with OneTOOneField

done

changed that get to filter

and it worked

LoL

[ionic raft]

In that case, you don't need the for loop.
YOu simply send the object over as a context through Model = object_name
Then use use {{ object_name.attribute }} to call what you want.

Yes. You could do object.objests.filter(user=request.user) but it's slightly less efficient

[dusk portal]

XD

[ionic raft]

when you know there's only one object use .get()

At a guess, I suspect it would mean a more efficient query. It might be milleseconds, but they add up.

[dusk portal]

umm

[ionic raft]

OK. It sounds like you've got some momentum. I'm off to turn two InlineFormsets into dynamic forms with htmx

[dusk portal]

but i feel depressed

i feel low

i feel bad
