il, first argument to your view function should be `request`

il: the first argument to a view is always the request

il: url parameter are from the 2nd argument and on

parameters

mstrcnvs, ok, thanks, applying this

you are also doing a POST request, so your video_id will be in request.POST.get('video_id'), not a URL parameter

mstrcnvs, now I'm getting : get_related_videos() takes exactly 2 arguments (1 given)

mindcruzer, oh

il: mindcruzer ^

what s/he said

il: so remove the parameter from your view and instead use request.POST['video_id']

alright, thanks mindcruzer and mstrcnvs

alright so I created an inline formset that allows me to create as many rental history records as I want, but how do I add the application form to the formset as well?

can I just add forms to the formset as I please?

Tjati: try running a debugger like https://docs.python.org/2/library/pdb.html on it, you might find the cause for your recursion that way

mindcruzer, mstrcnvs both request.POST.get('video_id') and request.POST['video_id'] are returning none, and I get the error: cannot concatenate 'str' and 'NoneType' objects (because I try to concat the 'video_id') in a string later on

i doubt anyone can help you without looking through all your code, and that of your dependencies

il: remove that contentType declaration in the ajax call

mstrcnvs, same error

wait

let me restart

il: yes, and if doesn't work, paste the code again

I have an application form and then rental history form, which all have fk's to application. how do I create a formset that has one application and then as many rental histories as necessary?

I've gotten it to display rental histories no problem, but I don't know how to also make it display the application form

nozavroni: Handle the application with a separate form object

so, create the application form and the inline formset separately?

Yeah.

/win 20

oops

You can use multiple form/formsets objects to process the same POST request.

mstrcnvs, it works, and then it doesn't work

il: how can I help you?

mstrcnvs, (I print the video_id, it prints ,and I get a 200 OK, and then another http request is sent and I get a 500)

mstrcnvs, not sure man

il: inspect the response from the one that gets 500

mstrcnvs, returns None (while the other returns the video_id

read the traceback

mstrcnvs, there is no traceback

just 500?

isn't DEBUG True?

mstrcnvs, 500, and returns None

mstrcnvs, yea that returns the "cannot concatenate 'str' and 'NoneType' objects" error

traceback is 2 lines

one is the string where I try to concat the video_id to the uri

the other is response = wrapped_callback(request, *callback_args, **callback_kwargs)

Not sure why 2 http requests are sent

its possible that you're sending an empty video_id in the script

oh

mstrcnvs, https://dpaste.de/RbCV

il: console.log video_id before making the request

ok

well, i send it directly through the console, mstrcnvs

like API.get_related_videos('D0qKDiq1fNw')

So it's there

il: open your browser developer tools, on the Network tab, inspect the POST request, see its parameters

see if video_id is there

ok

mstrcnvs, yea it's there, in form_data

or, Form Data

hi there. i'm a designer working on a site using php and modx. i've come to accept that this is inferior to python and django, so i'd like to port my site to use those as a backend. i have tried to learn django myself but found it too difficult, so i'm looking to hire a developer to help me. as someone from a graphic design background, i don't really know enough about the workflow of the...

...developer and how he would go about a project like this. what should i be doing to make it as easy as possible for someone to transfer my site to a django backend?

should i be giving him my existing (very badly coded) modx site to work with, or something more basic, like a static site with some minimal templating or includes? or do i go even more simple than that, just telling the developer the structure of the site and how i want it organised? what's the best way to make his life easier and expedite things?

i have some very basic knowledge of flask; would it be helpful to try to make a basic working system there, because of the similarities between jinja2 and django templating?

apologies for the length of my question, and thanks in advance to anyone who can help

Hello guys, hope you all had a good turkey day.

Question: If I use timezone.now() in the save function on a form, will that not update correctly since since it's not in the view?

calling is_valid() on my formset doesn't seem to activate its error messages

what am I missing?

njen: you should code all the frontend, html css and javascript with dummy data and give it to him so he can develop the backend using real data and putting the templates into its places

nozavroni: whatdo you mean activate the error messages?

daniel3_: wrong

well, typically when I call is_valid() it populates my form's error messages

but calling it on the formset doesn't seem to do that

ok mstrcnvs, thank you, i'll do that

mstrcnvs: Wrong? So it will call the right time if used in the save function?

only problem is is that there is no real data as yet

nozavroni: did you see this? https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/topics/fo...

uhh yeah but I dont see how that helps

the errors aren't there

they aren't in the context

so how can I render them if they arent there?

mstrcnvs: so when you say i should code all the frontend, does you just mean as a static site, with no templating or any php of any kind, and just leave that to him?

do you*

I have an appform and a formset. I call is_valid() on both. the appform gets its errors in the template. the formset doesnt

formset.errors returns a list of three empty dicts

nozavroni: try this then: https://djangosnippets.org/snippets/1094/

Thats kind of what I use for one of my forms.

It's kind of the same concept of the documentation though. IF there are errors, which is its not coming back as is_valid, they would display that way.

I had the same problem where a form was not valid, but I couldn't figure out why at first.

it displays three empty list items
