If Statement django template

['dtdave' via Django users]

I have the following relationship in a model

class Contract(models.Model):
supplier = models.ForeignKey(
Supplier,
on_delete=models.CASCADE,
verbose_name="Supplier Name",
related_name="contract_suppliers",
)

I am trying to include an if statement in my template but the following 
does not work:
{% if contract.supplier == 'IBM' %}

If I replace this with a non-foreign key item then it works fine.

Any help would be appreciated.

Restricting items to a specific user

['dtdave' via Django users]

I have the following models:

class AccountManager(models.Model):
account_manager = models.ForeignKey(
  settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL, 
  on_delete=models.CASCADE
)

def __str__(self):
return str(self.account_manager)

class Client(models.Model):
account_manager = models.ForeignKey(AccountManager, 
on_delete=models.CASCADE, related_name='account_manager_clients')
client = models.CharField(max_length=255)

def __str__(self):
return self.client

class Contract(models.Model):
client = models.ForeignKey(Client, on_delete=models.CASCADE, 
related_name='client_contracts')
site_name = models.CharField(max_length=255)

def __str__(self):
return self.site_name

I can restrict the clients to the specific account managers by using the 
following view"
class ClientListView(LoginRequiredMixin, ListView):
model = Client
template_name = "clients/list.html"

def get_queryset(self, *args, **kwargs):
return (
super()
.get_queryset(*args, **kwargs)
.filter(account_manager__account_manager=self.request.user)
)

However I can't seem to restrict the contracts to the account manager with 
the following view:
class AMContractDetailView(LoginRequiredMixin, DetailView):
model = Contract
template_name = 'contracts/am_contract_detail.html'

def get_queryset(self, *args, **kwargs):
return (
super()
.get_queryset(*args, **kwargs)
.filter(client__account_manager=self.request.user.id)
)
This allows account managers to see all the clients not just their own.
I know I am doing something fundamentally wrong but have got a bit lost!

Any help would be appreciated.

LogIn Class Based View

['dtdave' via Django users]

I have this function based view which works perfectly but I would like to 
convert to a class based view but am stuck on how to do this:
This is my fbv:

def loginView(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
form = LoginForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
cd = form.cleaned_data
user = authenticate(request,
   email=cd['email'],
   password=cd['password'])

if user is not None:
login(request, user)
if user.is_authenticated and user.is_client:
return redirect('clients:detail') # Go to client 
dashboard
elif user.is_authenticated and user.is_account_manager:
return redirect('accountmanagers:detail') #Go to 
account manager dashboard
else:
   return HttpResponse('Invalid login')
else:
# Invalid email or password. Handle as you wish
form = LoginForm()

return render(request, 'registration/login.html', {'form': form})

I would appreciate any help.

Allocating items to users

['dtdave' via Django users]

I have the following code:
from django.conf import settings
from django.db import models

class AccountManager(models.Model):
account_manager = models.ForeignKey(
settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL, on_delete=models.PROTECT, null=True, 
blank=True
)

class Meta:
verbose_name = 'Account Manager'
verbose_name_plural = 'Account Managers'

def __str__(self):
return str(self.account_manager)
The view for this, effectively a profile, is as follows

from django.contrib.auth import get_user_model
from django.shortcuts import render
from django.views.generic import DetailView
from django.contrib.auth.mixins import LoginRequiredMixin

from .models import AccountManager

User = get_user_model()


class AccountManagerDetailView(LoginRequiredMixin, DetailView):
model = AccountManager
template_name = "accountmanagers/dashboard.html" 
 
def get_object(self, *args, **kwargs):
return self.request.user

And the url:
urlpatterns = [
path('detail/', views.AccountManagerDetailView.as_view(), 
name='accountmanagers'),
]
The template then shows the relevant user details but my problem is that I 
am stuck allocating the clients to the specific account manager. I know 
that I am missing the point in implementing a queryset and tieing it to 
that user.
Any help would be appreciated.

Model Design

['dtdave' via Django users]

We receive data from various third parties in their proprietary format in 
excel. We then import this into our database and our models have been 
designed around their format.
There is no option to change the way this data is received.
However, we now need to add an account manager to this data and under 
normal circumstances this would be a case of adding a foreign key to the 
data.

What would be the best method of dealing with this given that we cannot 
change the format of the data we receive nor the current models given that 
they mirror this structure.
One suggestion has been to use a generic foreign key but I am not sure how 
this would work.

Thanks in advance

UpdateView Redirect

['dtdave' via Django users]

I have got myself into somewhat of a pickle.

Currently I have the following url structure:
path('/', views.PublisherDetailView.as_view(), 
name='publisher_detail'),
path('/update/', views.PublisherUpdateView.as_view(), 
name='publisher_update'),

In my views the following:
class PublisherUpdateView(UpdateView):
model = Publisher
template_name = "catalog/publisher_update.html"
fields = (
"name",
"address",
"city",
"state_province",
"country",
"website",
)

def get_success_url(self):
return reverse_lazy("catalog:publisher_detail", kwargs={'pk': 
self.object.id})
And the link in my template is:
Update
Everything works fine at this point.
However my url structure now need to become:
path('//', views.PublisherDetailView.as_view(), 
name='publisher_detail'),
path(/'/update/', views.PublisherUpdateView.as_view(), 
name='publisher_update'),

My question is how do I account for this in my views?
Any help would be appreciated

Custom User and Profile Model

['dtdave' via Django users]

I have created a Custom User Model and a Profile model that is created when 
a user registers with the site.

I just want some confirmation that my logic is right.

To avoid the error when creating a superuser "Custom users have no profile" 
I have put the following in my settings.py:
AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE = 'accounts.Profile'

accounts is the name of the app and Profile is the model name.

This works fine and creates a profile in the admin for the superuser. I 
just need confirmation that this is the correct way to do it.

Thanks in advance

Django Project Template

['dtdave' via Django users]

I have been using Django-cookiecutter to create my projects.

I have then decided that there was too much that I either didn't need or 
had  alternatives in particular having a single settings file using 
django-configurations.
The first project building from scratch worked fine so I decided to create 
a template and upload it to GitHub for future use.

This is when my problems began!

This is the structure of a simple project without any apps or separating 
environment variables for simplicities sake.

.
├── Pipfile
├── Pipfile.lock
├── manage.py
└── my_project
├── __init__.py
├── settings.py
├── urls.py
└── wsgi.py

I have amended the following files:
wsgi.py
os.environ.setdefault('DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE', '{{ my_project }}.settings')
manage.py
os.environ.setdefault('DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE', '{{ my_project }}.settings')
settings.py
ROOT_URLCONF = '{{ my_project }}.urls'
WSGI_APPLICATION = '{{ my_project }}.wsgi.application'

I have uploaded it to GitHub and designated it as a template.
The issue comes about when I try to use it.
I issue the following command:
django-admin.py startproject \
  
--template=https://github.com/my_repository/django-project-template/archive/master.zip
 
\
  --extension=py,md,env \
  project_name

When I open this project I find that the variable {{ my_project }} has not 
been pick up so for example the ROOT_URLCONF just shows .urls instead of 
project_name.urls and the situation is the same for the WSGI_APPLICATION 
and the same is true for the items in the settings.py

I am sure that the answer is both simple and obvious but for the life of me 
I cannot see the solution.

Any help or pointers would be gratefully received.
Thanks in advance

Re: What is the proper workflow before first migration?

['dtdave' via Django users]

To me the way I build my models is so that if anyone looked at the code 
they would see exactly what the model represented. I had a great mentor in 
Daniel Greenfield of Two Scoops Fame.
So my models would be users and then a separate model for public posts.
The you have the following in your settings 
AUTH_USER_MODEL = 'users.CustomUser'
and everything would br fine.
You could then use this users modle elsewhere.
Also I have never seen the templates done your way. You can just have a 
single:
'DIRS': [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'templates')],
Then you can either have your templates in under the relevant app name e.g
public_posts/templates/public_posts
or in one template folder split into the apps. Different people have there 
own ideal method so it is really up tp you.
Hope this helps

Re: What is the proper workflow before first migration?

['dtdave' via Django users]

The error you are getting  is because the CustomUser is not included in 
your settings.py
Because I use a separte user model my settings.py has this line in it:
AUTH_USER_MODEL = 'users.CustomUser'
I would recommend that you have your Custom User as a separate user model.
For  good tutorials on user models have a look at these links:
https://wsvincent.com/django-tips-custom-user-model/
https://wsvincent.com/django-login-with-email-not-username/
https://wsvincent.com/django-custom-user-model-tutorial/

Django All-Auth is a good app for customising your user models:

Hope this helps!

Signals and Profile Update

['dtdave' via Django users]

I have a Custom User Model and a separate Profile Model with django 
all-auth.

The following signal creates the profile for the user and then informs the 
admin that a new user has registered.

@receiver(post_save, sender=User)
def create_user_profile(sender, **kwargs):
'''Create a profile for a new user'''
if kwargs['created']:
Profile.objects.create(user=kwargs['instance'])


@receiver(post_save, sender=User)
def notify_admin(sender, instance, created, **kwargs):
'''Notify the administrator that a new user has been added.'''
if created:
subject = 'New Registration created'
message = 'A new candidate  %s has registered with the site' % 
instance.email
from_addr = 'no-re...@example.com'
recipient_list = ('ad...@example.com',)
send_mail(subject, message, from_addr, recipient_list)

This works fine and using Mailhog I get the email informing me of the new 
user.

Where I am stuck, is that I also want to inform the admin when a profile is 
updated. However, for the life of me I cannot fathom out how to do this!

Any help would be appreciated.

Advice on Model Structures

['dtdave' via Django users]

I would like some advice as the best way with dealing with the following 
model structure.
Region
Counties
Office
Employees

I would like to show the relevant counties in the relevant regions and then 
to show the office in that county followed by the employees in that office.

In the view end user would then be able to click on the region which would 
only show the associated counties and then click through to the office 
and/or the employees.

I have received conflicting advice on how to deal with this such as 
django-mptt or dependent dropdowns which has left me somewhat confused.

Any pointers as to the most effective method would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Re: Django DateField

['dtdave' via Django users]

Many thanks for the help on this. I have implemented the following:
models.py
start_date = models.DateField(null=True, blank=True,)
asap = models.BooleanField(default=False)

I have amend my manager so the order is right on the template.
The template is where I am going wrong.
This what I have started with in my template;
{% if 'job.asap' == 'True' %}
Start Date: {{job.asap}}
{% else %}

Start Date:{{job.start_date}}
{% endif %}

The start dates are listed in the correct date order but any of those tasks 
with an ASAP start show None as the start date in the template.
I know the answer is probably obvious, but for smoe raeson I cannot fathom 
it out at the moment.
Again thanks for all the help

Django DateField

['dtdave' via Django users]

I have a model that contains a datefield which signifies the start date for 
a task.
My modelmanager filters the tasks by the start date and the template lists 
them in the date descending order. Everything is fine with this.

However, now I have been asked to change this so that some projects have a 
start date of ASAP and others have date.
These then need to be listed in my template with ASAP tasks coming first 
and then those with a start date coming in descending order.

I am at a loss as to how to achieve this so would welcome any pointers or 
ideas.
Thanks

Django Import/Export ManyTo Many

['dtdave' via Django users]

I have a model with a manytomany field as follows:
  
  contact = ChainedManyToManyField(
'contacts.Contact',
chained_field="practice",
chained_model_field="practice",
)

Within my admin I have the following for import/export:

contact = fields.Field(column_name='contact name', attribute='contact',
   widget=ManyToManyWidget(Contact, 'contact'))

However, this only returns the contact id.
I am stuck on how I could return the name of the contact instead. Within 
the contact model contact equates to the name of the contact.

Any assistance would be appreciated and apologies in advance if I have 
overlooked the obvious!

Custom Model Manager

['dtdave' via Django users]

I apologise if this is a simple question but I am still somewhat new to 
Dajngo.
I have the following models:

Jobs Model
Candidates Model
Applications Model

The jobs model has a manager on it as follows:
class ExpiredManager(models.Manager):
def get_queryset(self):
return super(ExpiredManager, self).get_queryset() \
 .filter(expiry_date__gt=datetime.now()).order_by('start_date')

And to make sure only unexpired items are listed on the web page my 
managers are listed as follows:
objects = ExpiredManager()
with_expired_objects = models.Manager()

Within my admin I have the following:
def get_queryset(self, request):
"""To return all jobs in admin including those that are expired"""
qs = self.model.with_expired_objects.get_queryset()
ordering = self.get_ordering(request)
if ordering:
qs = qs.order_by(*ordering)
return qs
At this stage evrything works exactly as I want it to with all jobs being 
shown in the admin and only unexpired jobs on the web page.

My candidates model has the following field:
jobs = models.ManyToManyField('jobs.Job', 
through="applications.Application")

My application model has fields for candidate and jobs.
My problem is that once the job expires it is being dropped from both the 
candidates and the applications as obviously the expired items manager is 
the default.
Any help on how to correct this would be appreciated.
Many thanks

Link to urls containing slug

['dtdave' via Django users]

 

Within my model I have the following that links through to a detail page.

def get_absolute_url(self):



kwargs = {

  'job_id': self.job_id,

  'slug': self.slug,

   }

return reverse('job_detail', kwargs=kwargs)


Everything works fine with this.


Within my urls.py I have the following:

url(r'^$', views.JobListView.as_view(), name='job_list'),

url(r'^(?P[-\w]*)/(?P[-\w]*)/$', views.JobDetail.as_view(), 
name='job_detail'),

url(r'^(?P[-\w]*)/(?P[-\w]*)/job_application/$', 
views.job_application, name=‘job_application'),


Then within my views.py the following:

def job_application(request, job_id, slug):

# Retrieve job by id

job = get_object_or_404(Job, job_id=job_id)

“””Other code here


However, I am having problems linking to this from my template in my detail 
page.

What structure should I be using to link to the job application from the 
job detail page?


I can access the url by going to 

http://localhost:8000/jobs/1/name-of-job/job_application/


Any advice would be appreciated

Template Data

['dtdave' via Django users]

As still learning django I have a simple issue.

I have the following models:


class Contactnumber(TimeStampedModel):
phone_number = models.CharField(max_length=100, unique=True)
contact = models.ForeignKey(‘contacts.Contact')



class Contact(TimeStampedModel):
contact = models.CharField(max_length=100, db_index=True,
   verbose_name='Contact Name')
practice = models.ManyToManyField(‘practice.Practice’,
  related_name=“contacts",)



class Practice(TimeStampedModel):
practice = models.CharField(max_length=150, db_index=True,
verbose_name='Practice Name',
help_text="include location for 
multi-branch”)



I have a template including data tables in which I want to show the 
following:
Practice, Contact, Contact Phone 

The following gives me the contact for the practice:
{% for contact in practice.contacts.all %}
   {{ contact }}
   {% endfor %}

My question is how do  include the contact phone number as I seem a bit 
lost.
Any help would be appreciated. Apologies if this is a simple question!

Filters in Search

['dtdave' via Django users]

I have an issue that I have got myself into a mess trying to solve, so any 
help would be appreciated.

I have implemented a simple search solution that works fine and this is my 
view:

from django.shortcuts import render
from django.views.generic import ListView
from jobs.models import Job
from django.db.models import Q
from .filters import JobFilter


class JobListView(ListView):
model = Job
paginate_by = 10
template_name = 'jobs/job_list.html'

def get_queryset(self):
queryset = Job.objects.all()
q = self.request.GET.get("q")
if q:
queryset = queryset.filter(
Q(title__icontains=q) |
Q(category__category__icontains=q) |
Q(description__icontains=q)
).distinct()
self.sort_by = self.request.GET.get('sort_by', 'start_date')
return queryset.order_by(self.sort_by)

def get_context_data(self,  **kwargs):
context = super(JobListView, self).get_context_data(**kwargs)
context['title'] = "Job List"
context['sort_by'] = self.sort_by
context['object_name'] = "job_list"
return context

Everything thing works fine with this. However what I would like to do is 
to allow a person to filter on certain criteria within this page. I have 
created a separate view using django-filters which achieves this but would 
like to combine this. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Reverse URL django-admin

['dtdave' via Django users]

I apologise in advance for the length of my post but I have included all 
the detail I can.

I have the following structure for an app. The list view template uses 
Bootstrap DataTables. My question is how to amend the urls to return the 
change url in django-admin.


models.py

def get_absolute_url(self):
return reverse('contact_detail', kwargs={"id": self.id})

urls.py


from django.conf.urls import url
from .views import (
contacts_list,
contacts_detail,
)


urlpatterns = [
url(r'^$', contacts_list, name='contact_list'),
url(r'^(?P\d+)/$', contacts_detail, name='contact_detail'),
]


views.py
from django.contrib.auth.decorators import user_passes_test
from django.shortcuts import render, get_object_or_404
from .models import Contact


@user_passes_test(lambda u: u.is_staff)
def contacts_list(request):
c = {}
contacts = Contact.objects.all()
c['contacts'] = contacts
return render(request, 'contacts/contacts_list.html', c)


def contacts_detail(request, id=None):
instance = get_object_or_404(Contact, id=id)
context = {
"title": "Contact Details",
"instance": instance,
}
return render(request, "contacts/contacts_detail.html", context)

{{ contact.id }}
