Re: Help with staticfiles in deployment

Hi,

1) What is environ? Could you point to its documentation page?

2) Could you show your nginx configuration?

Re: get_ip_address() not working when used Custom Decorators

2017-10-01 Thread mitesh_django

Manu,

Try print kwargs.get('request')... 

You should get Django HTTPRequest Object, pass that to get_client_ip method.

Re: get_ip_address() not working when used Custom Decorators

2017-10-01 Thread Constantine Covtushenko

Sorry for late response,

I meant that you might using that decorator in 2 places.
And asked about that.

It seems like you specified `@owner_required` to decorate your view
function. But that decorator behave like `@owner_required()`.

With your last response I see that decorated function instead of `request`
receives `function all`. It looks like improperly used decorator.

More than that I do not have more ideas from what you provided.

 The error i am getting is :-

 AttributeError: 'function' object has no attribute 'META'


 That get_client_ip() is working fine when used in normal function, but
 don't know why it is not working when i am using it a decorator.

 What might be the problem ?

Setting up Django for the first time, urls.py and settings.py

2017-10-01 Thread drone4four



I’m playing with Django for the first time.  I am using a guide called, “Python 
from Scratch - Creating a Dynamic Website 
”  by [b]Tuts+ Code[/b] from 
YouTube.  It’s kinda old.  It was first posted in November 2011 and Django 
has evolved considerably.  I’ve had to try different commands, like 
‘syncdb’ is no longer used.  Now it’s ‘migrate’. Yes, Tuts+ Code is over 6 
years old, but it’s the best tutorial in terms of explanations and teaching 
style. Anyways.

I’m getting an error saying there is something wrong with my settings.py:

Those last couple of lines in this error message are instructive. I’m not 
sure about the case of include() in urls.py but my url declaration indeed 
is a tuple.  Why is my shell telling me there is something wrong with my 
tuple when it should be a tuple?  I also swapped out the parentheses with 
square brackets to see if it would take a list as it says it can.  Either 
way, same error.

Here are the contents of my urls.py:

from django.conf.urls import *
> from django.contrib import admin
> admin.autodiscover()
> urlpatterns = ['',
> # url(r'^admin/', admin.site.urls),
> url(r'^$', 'blog.views.home', name='home')
> ]


Take note of the square brackets and lack of the patterns function (as 
compared to the presence of the function in the code from the teacher 
below). Also commented out above is the default urlpattern that came with 
Django 1.11.  

So the urlpattern in Tuts+ Code’s actually looks like this:

from django.conf.urls.defaults import patterns, include, url
> from django.contrib import admin
> urlpatterns = patterns (‘’,
> url(r'^$', ‘FirstBlog.views.home’, name='home'),
> )


Addressing a related issue with importing the name pattern in urls.py for 
Django, some folks over on stackoverflow describe their Djanog urls.py 
 
configuration file use a simple variable declaration for urlpatterns and 
don’t bother with the function patterns() the way the YouTuber explains 
that it should look like.  Like, the YouTuber uses: ‘*urlpatterns = 
patterns( ... )*’ whereas the stackoverflow people set it as: ‘*urlpatterns 
= [ ‘’, ...]'*.  

I get the sense that I am slightly off in my understanding of the issue.
