That depends on what you want to do if it doesn’t exist.. Theres get_object_or_404: Calls get() on a given model manager, but it raises Http404 instead of the model’s DoesNotExist exception. get_object_or_404(World, ID=personID) Which is very close to the try except code you currently do. Otherwise theres get_or_create: personalProfile, created = World.objects.get_or_create(ID=personID) Although, If you … Read more
After trying the two different approaches suggested by Brandon and Murat, Brandon’s suggestion proved the most successful. Create a wrapper template that includes the javascript from http://djangosnippets.org/snippets/679/. The javascript has been modified: (i) to work without a form (ii) to hide the progress bar / display results when a ‘done’ flag is returned (iii) with … Read more
this line of code at = AttachedInfo.objects.filter(attachedMarker=m.id, title=title) returns a queryset and you are trying to access a field of it (that does not exist). what you probably need is at = AttachedInfo.objects.get(attachedMarker=m.id, title=title)
There are different ways to pass data between views. Actually this is not much different that the problem of passing data between 2 different scripts & of course some concepts of inter-process communication come in as well. Some things that come to mind are – GET request – First request hits view1->send data to browser … Read more
here is a pure-javascript, minimalistic approach. I use JQuery but you can use any library (or even no libraries at all). <html> <head> <title>An example</title> <script src=”http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js”></script> <script> function call_counter(url, pk) { window.open(url); $.get(‘YOUR_VIEW_HERE/’+pk+”https://stackoverflow.com/”, function (data) { alert(“counter updated!”); }); } </script> </head> <body> <button onclick=”call_counter(‘http://www.google.com’, 12345);”> I update object 12345 </button> <button onclick=”call_counter(‘http://www.yahoo.com’, 999);”> … Read more
You can override forms for django’s built-in admin by setting form attribute of ModelAdmin to your own form class. See: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/admin/#django.contrib.admin.ModelAdmin.form https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/admin/#adding-custom-validation-to-the-admin It’s also possible to override form template – have a look at https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/admin/#custom-template-options If you’re looking specifically for autocomplete I can recommend https://github.com/crucialfelix/django-ajax-selects
The reason you cannot import path is because it is new in Django 2.0 as is mentioned here: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.0/ref/urls/#path. On that page in the bottom right hand corner you can change the documentation version to the version that you have installed. If you do this you will see that there is no entry for path … Read more
In Django 1.8+, the template’s render method takes a dictionary for the context parameter. Support for passing a Context instance is deprecated, and gives an error in Django 1.10+. In your case, just use a regular dict instead of a Context instance: message = get_template(’email_forms/direct_donation_form_email.html’).render(ctx) You may prefer to use the render_to_string shortcut: from django.template.loader … Read more
The MRO is basically depth-first, left-to-right. See Method Resolution Order (MRO) in new style Python classes for some more info. You can look at the __mro__ attribute of the class to check, but FooMixin should be first if you want to do “check A” first. class UltimateBase(object): def dispatch(self, *args, **kwargs): print ‘base dispatch’ class … Read more
One of the way is using HTTP_REFERER header like as below: from django.http import HttpResponseRedirect def someview(request): … return HttpResponseRedirect(request.META.get(‘HTTP_REFERER’)) Not sure of cons of this!
