Django doesn't store the original password, that would be a huge security hole. It only has the hashed password available. On Wednesday, September 18, 2013 10:10:02 AM UTC-5, Sivaram R wrote: > > I have views.py to show the form instance and update the instance. > > On edit the form data,all

Re: iterating over a queryset?

.get() actually gets you an instance, while the queryset without the get acts (somewhat) like a list of instances. It is the .values() call that causes you to have dicts rather than instances. .get() considers it an error if the queryset represents either zero objects, or two or more objects (it

Re: iterating over a queryset?

Hi Yeah I see. I tried it out just after writing, with little success, but without the .values() I do still have the {{ data.field_name }} available which Is probably more usefull than actually iterating over a dataset regardless of content. Still the relationsships are only available as

Re: iterating over a queryset?

Well, not quite. That will work if you just omit .get(), because then you'll have a ValuesQuerySet - basically, a list of dicts. However, if you omit .values() as well you'll have a plain old QuerySet - ie a list of model instances - and those instances aren't dicts and don't have an .items()

Re: iterating over a queryset?

No. q will be a model instance, not a dict. Your inner loop would, perhaps, loop over a sequence of names (like the arguments you were passing to value()) and use those names to access the attributes of q. This might more cleanly handled with a method on the q object's class that returns the

Re: password field showing hashed value on form value update

That is a bad idea. It leaves your users vulnerable to a server or database or database backup compromise. The design is that if your server/database doesn't know the password, it can't give it up. If you truly want to store passwords in the clear, you will have to re-implement the

If I correctly understand you are using jQuery.ajax(). Documentation says "Data to be sent to the server. It is converted to a query string, if not already a string. It's appended to the url for GET-requests." So I think that the ajax() function is calling the URL "/pi/?pathID=somevalue". May you
