Thanks to all in this community who helped me create this django app controlled art!

[7equivalents]

It's just a raspberry Pi Logo but it is just the beginning. There is a user 
interface created with html, css, and javascript libraries. When a user 
changes colors or pushes a button, the interface sends an ajax request and 
Django processess it and updates a Mysql database. A python script checks 
for when the database has been updated and sends corresponding commands via 
usb to an Arduino which controls 96 RGB LED's.

Here is a link to the video...

"So I think that the ajax() function is calling the URL

normally sent? I don't know much about this.
This is the output from the development server...

I have a javascript file that successfully request a Django view. However 
it seems as if it is not passing the key:value pairs. I have created an if 
else statement that test for the key, and it never see's it. Not sure how 
to proceed. Here is my django View and Javascript click function, in the 
view the else statement always executes

def pi_page(request):
  
  if request.method == "GET":
get = request.GET.copy()
if get.has_key('pathID'):
path_ID = get['pathID']
path = Path.objects.get(pathID=1)
   #path.pathFill = '#fff'   
path.save()
variables = RequestContext(request, {'path': path})
return render_to_response('main_page.html', RequestContext(request))
else:
path = Path.objects.get(pathID=2)
path.pathFill = '#eee'   
path.save()
variables = RequestContext(request, {'path': path})
return render_to_response('main_page.html', RequestContext(request))


.click(function(){
var outputColor = document.getElementById("output");
var outputColorFill =  outputColor.value;
var pathID = paths[arr[this.id]].pathID;
var data = { pathID:pathID };
$.ajax({
url:"/pi/",
cache: "false",
data:data  
});

})

Re: Need Advise on the best way to track how much time a user is logged in.....

[7equivalents]

My users will not be able to logout by closing a browser because they have 
no such interaction with the system. They will be passing an RFID tag over 
a reader to unlock the door and clock in and a python script will handle 
the loging in and out. So if I can get the logout to time stamp a database 
entry I'll be good.

Re: Need Advise on the best way to track how much time a user is logged in.....

[7equivalents]

 I notice the Django.contrib.Auth has a logout function, is there anyway to 
connect a timestamp to a model when the user uses the logout function? My 
users will be using the log out function. This is for a time clock I'm 
building using RFID tags.

[7equivalents]

I have created a model that gives me a time stamp  when a user logs in. I 
connected the 'user_logged_in signal' to a function:

def update_user_login(sender, user), **kwargs):
user.userlogin_set.create(timestamp=user.last_login)
user.save()

So this basically helps me track the login time, but how do I set the 
timestamp to the last_logout? There is no last_logout attribute like there 
is with last_login?

Re: How do I create a script to fill in django admin login form and submit?

Thank you so much! You really helped me. I went back and checked the source 
code sent to my browser and did indeed see, name = "this_is_the_login_form'.
I was using the "ID" rather than the "name". My weakness in html kicked me 
this time, thanks for lending a hand!

Re: How do I create a script to fill in django admin login form and submit?

[7equivalents]

Thankyou Wongo Bongo! Your solution was spot on correct. It came down to 
one line of code that I modified that was the problem.

login_data = {'username':'jim', 'password':'beam', 
'this_is_the_login_form':'1', 'csrfmiddlewaretoken':csrftoken}

You gave me the correct line, however the, 'this_is_the_login_form':'1' I 
thought you were giving me a generic form name to be replaced with my form 
name, however 'this_is_the_login_form' is the correct form name.

This is where my inexperince has shown through. How did you know that that 
was the name of the form? When I went to django.contrib.auth.forms, it 
seemed the form name was AuthenticationForm, and when I used view source in 
a browser it looked like the form was named login-form. How could one know 
the form was named 'this_is_the_login_form'?

Re: How do I create a script to fill in django admin login form and submit?

[7equivalents]

Still trying to solve this. I cant seem to find anything by googling.

I did read this. 
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/auth/default/#django.contrib.auth.login

However, when I'm doing this from the shell, I'm not sure what to use as 
request in the Login(request,user) function.

Also when I look at the contrib.auth forms. it appears the form is name 
AuthenticationForm. But when I open the actual admin login page with my 
browser and view source it appears to be called login-form.

I would thing trying to login as a user from the shell would be a common 
occurrence, but I cant figure out how.

Re: How do I create a script to fill in django admin login form and submit?

[7equivalents]

I feel as if I'm getting closer, yet haven't successfully  logged in yet. I 
have added in the missing key. I went to the django.contrib.auth.forms to 
find the name of the form that gets submitted in the login page. It seems 
to be called AuthenticationForm.

import requests
login_url = "http://192.168.0.21/admin/login/";


client = requests.session()
client.get(login_url)


csrftoken = client.cookies['csrftoken']


login_data = {'username':'jim', 'password':'beam', 
'AuthenticationForm':'1', 'csrfmiddlewaretoken':csrftoken}


r = client.post(login_url, data=login_data)


Basically after I do this from the python shell, I use another machine to 
log into the admin page and look at user logins, and the user is not logged 
in. Not sure how to proceed.

Re: How do I create a script to fill in django admin login form and submit?

[7equivalents]

Ok, I've gotten further. I have confirmed the problem was related to the 
csrf token. This is my new code:


client = requests.session()
# Retrieve the CSRF token first
client.get(URL)  # sets the cookie
csrftoken = client.cookies['csrftoken']

login_data = dict(Username='jim', Password='beam, csrfmiddlewaretoken=csrftoken)
r = client.post(URL, data=login_data)

Now, I get a 200 for the status code, but it still doesn't actually 
login..

Re: How do I create a script to fill in django admin login form and submit?

[7equivalents]

Well this is where I'm at. I have used the requests package  to try and 
request the Django Admin login page and submit the username and password. 
However, when I do this I get a 403 error. I have tried to turn off the 
dependency for csrf tokens in the login view by using the csrf_exempt,but 
this gave me a 500 error. So I need to break this down to learn whats going 
on. So here is the code I'm typing into the python prompt:

import rquests

url = "http://192.168.0.21/admin/login/";
payload = {'Username':'jimmy', 'Password':'Beam'}
r = requests.post(url, payload)


I get a 403.

My questions are:
(1) Is the the code above the correct way to fill in and submit the django user 
login form?
(2) What should I do next to troubleshoot the problem?

[7equivalents]

Hey guys, I need a little help. Here is what I'm trying to do.
I would like to have a html button execute a javascript on click, and the 
javascript should send an GET reguest to the server which should execute 
the View for the page requested. For some reason I can't get it to work...

here is what I've done
(1) I have a working View that executes successfully when the main page is 
requested.
(2) The View loads the template that has the html button and javascript.
(3) I have confirmed the when the button is clicked the javascript executes.

However the page doesn't change to the new page requested, and I get a 404 
error however, the page is there and I link to it from other places in 
the code.

Maybe I misunderstand something in the way the request and load and ajax 
stuff works, I'm still a novice.

Here is my code...

 html & javascript 

 
$(function (){
  $("#blog1").click(function (){
var id =  $( "#blog1" ).val();
var data = { id:id };
$("#blog1").prop('value', 'works');
$.get({ 
  url:"/control/"
});
  });
  return false;
});

//

def control_page(request):

  sliderB = Slider.objects.get(sliderID=1)
  sliderR = Slider.objects.get(sliderID=2)
  sliderG = Slider.objects.get(sliderID=3)
  sliderP = Slider.objects.get(sliderID=4)
  preprogram1 = Preprogram.objects.get(preprogramID=1)
  preprogram2 = Preprogram.objects.get(preprogramID=2)
  preprogram3 = Preprogram.objects.get(preprogramID=3)

Ok, thanks Shawn, still having a bit of  a snag. I have read the JQuery doc 
on $.ajax, but still don't have a complete grasp... So here is my next 
question,

I added this to my sliderbar script:

var args = { type:"POST", url:"/slider/" }
$.ajax(args);

Would those two lines of code cause my slider_page View to execute 
(assuming of coarse the url is correct)?

Now that I have that part working, I would like to make since of what was

Let's say
(1) a page is requested, and the View renders_to_response  a template
(2) this template uses a {% include 'second_template.html' %}

Does the second_templates View get executed or does the Html just get added?

so I got rid of the variable in the Javascript and the slider bar came 
back, so from there I played with the the variables in the Views and got it 
to work.

So thank you so much for the help 

I am trying to implement control of GPIO pins and UART modules on a 
Raspberry Pi via a web interface.

Here's a short youtube video of my App and hardware, Thanks again!

Re: How to pass a value from a Django View to a JQuery Slider bar.

[7equivalents]

Alright guys, thanks for the input, I need something a bit more specific to 
my case due to my ignorance on the subject at hand, so I am posting the 
code for my View, Template, and JQuery.  So, basically I want to take the 
slider1 object value in the View, and place it in the Javascript where 
value = 37 has been coded. 

// Here is my view 
//
def slider_page(request):
  
  slider1 = Slider.objects.get(sliderID=1)
  variables = RequestContext(request, {'slider1': slider1})
  return render_to_response('slider_page.html', variables)
  
/ Here is my Template 
// 
 
{% block external %}
  
{% endblock %}
  
{% block content %} 
  
  
Intensity:

   
  
  
{% endblock %}

// Here is my JQuery 
//

  $(function (){
$( "#slider_1" ).slider({
  range: "min",
  value: 37,
  min: 0,
  max: 100,
  slide: function( event, ui ) {
$( "#power" ).val(ui.value );
  }
});
$( "#power" ).val($( "#slider_1" ).slider( "value" ) );
return false;
  });

Re: How to pass a value from a Django View to a JQuery Slider bar.

[7equivalents]

Well, I definitly can't just throw a variable into the Javascript using the 
{{ }} tags. I tried it and it didn't work. I'm sure Shawn Milochik is 
correct about consuming the view with AJAX, however that is going to take 
sometime to learn and explore, as I am novice at this. It seems there 
should be an easy way for something so simple, I can pass a variable from a 
view to a template, but not from a view to a javascript file.

Yes, Thankyou for helping me clean up my line of questioning, That is 
exactly what I want to know, can I use the {{ }} tags to do this, and can 
they be placed in a seperate .js file.

How to pass a value from a Django View to a JQuery Slider bar.

[7equivalents]

Hello, my goal is to use a Django powered website to control the brightness 
of a light. I am using a JQuery slider bar as a dimmer switch. When the 
JQuery slider bar loads, I need it to iniciate to a value I have in my 
database.

I already have my View, Model, and Template setup, and can pass variables 
from the View to the HTML part of the template. My Question is, How do I 
pass the variable from the View to the JQuery slider bar?

Thankyou for any help. I am new to Django, JQuery and pretty much all Web 
programming, my main experince is working with microcontollers and low 
level language between chips.

Re: Need help configuring Apache production server on Raspberry PI to work with Django.

Hey guys, thanks for the help. 
(1 )I have confirmed mod-wsgi has been compiled against the correct version 
of python.
(2) I have also confirmed mod-wsgi is in the list of loaded modules.

My next question is what file do I place the WSGIScript directive in? I 
can't seem to find which file it goes in

Re: Need help configuring Apache production server on Raspberry PI to work with Django.

[7equivalents]

When you say "From there it should just be configuration." Do you mean 
either (1) Configuring mod-wsgi to work with apache, or (2) Configuring 
mod_wsgi to work with Django. 

The errors where involved with my first attempt at installing mod-wsgi 
according to the Django instructions, However now I'm using *sudo apt-get 
install libapache2-mod-wsgi *which is not mentioned in the Django docs. And 
step (3) seems to do whatever it does just fine with no errors.

I'm not sure if I should be focusing on configuring mod-wsgi to work with 
apach or configuring mod-wsgi to work with Django. I'm sure there are steps 
for both that need to be taken

Need help configuring Apache production server on Raspberry PI to work with Django.

[7equivalents]

Hello, I need help configuring the Apache production server to work with 
Django on a Rapberry pi. I am still new to Linux. Here is what I've done so 
far.

(1) I have successfully installed Apache on my Raspberry pi. I have used it 
to serve up php webpages.
(2) I have successfully installed Django on the RaspPi and created a 
project that works with the Django development server.
(3) I have run the command ~$ sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-wsgi

I am unsure where to proceed after step 3. Did step 3 install and configure 
mod-wsgi to work with Apache, or do I still have some initialization steps? 
Or, does the next step involve Django. I have read and followed the steps 
from the Django website, but they produced errors and where confusing to me.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
