Yes, I am a newbie. Sometimes I ask “newbie questions”, same as many others here. But apparently, there is no room for such questions on this site (and this is why I got down-voted on my initial question at the top and got banned out of this site – this is my last answer that … Read more
Python 3 has no sys.setdefaultencoding() function. It cannot be reinstated by reload(sys) like it can on Python 2 (which you really shouldn’t do in any case). Since the default on Python 3 is UTF-8 already, there is no point in leaving those statements in. In Python 2, using sys.setdefaultencoding() was used to plaster over implicit … Read more
Benjamin Manns’ solution worked for me, though I needed one additional step as well. According to this, after the Procfile solution has been pushed, run the following: heroku ps:scale web=1 website should load correctly now. for more help pushing to a heroku git repo, see this
Firstly, you shouldn’t override full_clean as you have done. From the django docs on full_clean: Model.full_clean(exclude=None) This method calls Model.clean_fields(), Model.clean(), and Model.validate_unique(), in that order and raises a ValidationError that has a message_dict attribute containing errors from all three stages. So the full_clean method already calls clean, but by overriding it, you’ve prevented it … Read more

This should be a dictionary mapping field names to widget classes or … Read more
You must set a container’s main process to bind to the special 0.0.0.0 “all interfaces” address, or it will be unreachable from outside the container. In Docker 127.0.0.1 almost always means “this container”, not “this machine”. If you make an outbound connection to 127.0.0.1 from a container it will return to the same container; if … Read more
The fix 1. include {% csrf_token %} inside the form tag in the template. 2. if for any reason you are using render_to_response on Django 1.3 and above replace it with the render function. Replace this: # Don’t use this on Django 1.3 and above return render_to_response(‘contact.html’, {‘form’: form}) With this: return render(request, ‘contact.html’, {form: … Read more
Django intentionally leaves out many types of templatetags to discourage you from doing too much processing in the template. (Unfortunately, people usually just add these types of templatetags themselves.) This is a perfect example of something that should be in your model not your template. class Game(models.Model): … def screenshots_as_list(self): return self.screenshots.split(‘\n’) Then, in your … Read more
do the following: If you are in DEBUG, set STATICFILES_DIRS = (“path/to/static”) variable in your settings.py. It should then work only in DEBUG mode. If you want it to also work in deploy mode, set STATIC_ROOT = (“path/to/static_root”) variable in the settings.py. Then, execute python manage.py collectstatic and it should also work. And now, for … Read more
