What's the proper way to migrate away from django.conf.url.patterns()?

dioo: https://dpaste.de/5qxq

Koterpillar: Hmm... I'll try that, but right now, the issue is that the index page works but the entries don't (they seem to redirect to the main page)

dioo: paste what you have now, preferably without the +/- at line start

Wait, the only issue is that I'm using a tuple instead of a list?

dioo: and app_name

Ohh, I missed that, thanks

dioo: I think the tuple will work but don't rely on that

Koterpillar: https://dpaste.de/1wmo

this is what I have right now

Eh

dioo: try ^ at the pattern start

Yeah, I used a string literal instead of a regex

e.g. url(r'^$', ...)

r'^$' worked, indeed

replace patterns(...) with [] ... import the views and reference then directly, instead of by strings

wrap each line in url()

that's not a problem, your problem is: an empty string matches *every URL*

r'' isn't a regex, it's just regex friendly escaping

FunkyBob: Ah ok, I forgot about that

In any case, thanks for the help

I'm going to end up with 50ish models inheriting from the abstract base class

after digging into the docs I assume the best way to relate prices to parts is a genericforeignkey?

sounds like questionable modelling

I also considered storing attributes in a jsonfield

and just having one generic parts model

I have used User (form django.contrib.auth.models) and extended to other model name UserAnswer in models.py. UserAnswer is linked to User by OneToOne relationship. But , when I try to save fields in UserAnswer after a user is logged it, the code shows this error "column user_id is not unique". Where am i going wrong?

node77: can one User have multiple UserAnswers?

Koterpillar: No

show the code

it really sounds like you're saving a second answer for a Uer

koterpillar: views.py-"""def instruction(request, pick): if request.user.is_authenticated() and request.user.is_active: question = Question.objects.filter(stream__sub_title=pick) user1=User.objects.get(username=request.user.username) stream1=Stream.objects.get(sub_title=pick) user_ans=UserAnswer(user=user1, ans_stream=stream1) user_ans.save()"""

node77: what FunkyBob said

node77: use dpaste.de to share code

node77: can a User have only one UserAnswer? or only one UserAnswer _per_ Question ?

FunkyBob: Yes, I am saving UserAnswer just first time

that doesn't answer my question at all

node77: look at the database, there might already be answers

node77: can a User have only one UserAnswer? or only one UserAnswer _per_ Question ?

FunkyBob Koterpillar: https://dpaste.de/T9n6 ....one user has one UserAnswer, Question models are not related to UserAnswer. The answer are stored per user ans stored in form of string

node77: look at your database now

node77: if there is already a UserAnswer for that user, you will try to create a second one

so no matter how many questions or streams there are... a User can only ever have a single UserAnswer ... ever

seems odd

And its PK is always 42.

:P

FunkyBob: I am trying to store all useranswer in string form (which is basically a dictionary) in one field

hmm

Koterpillar: But I have not created UserAnswer anytime before in my code. And I just want to use the reference of User to store answers

node77: have you accessed that page before?

entering json in the admin panel is a lot more free form which may or may not be a good thing since not all specs are always available to me

node77: if you really want to ensure one useranswer, why not use user.useranswer?

node77: or UserAnswer.objects.get_or_create

koterpillar: let me try that.
