with django channels, if I want to send data to a client every second , do I need to create a thread to do that, so I don't tie up the main app for listening for rquests from the client (with a websocket?)

I'm using django channels 1.1.8 and often I get a 502 error when connecting. I'm running daphne with `--verbose 2` and getting an opening handshake timeout, is there any way to increase this timeout?

I've noticed that the issue is intermittent. On the first connection it will work fine, but on subsequent refreshes I will get the timeout. If I wait some time before refreshing again (longer than a few minutes) it will work just fine

Hi everyone, I'm trying to implement a form.Form with an input and an output FileField (https://dpaste.de/XcP3). Is it possible to have a filefield without uploading the file because in my case these files are too large?

FilePathField doesn't look like what I'm trying to get.

Because it doesn't open a window to choose from

h4k1m: ehm, what? What are you gonna do with that file if it's not uploaded?

knbk: Actually I'm working on satellite data which are quite large especially if stacked (multi bands). For the time being I'm using FilePathField which gives me a `select` inside a given folder

I'm wondering if there's a way to make it more flexible?

so the file already exists on the server?

knbk: Now that I'm think of it, yeah it doesn't really make sense since in the future I'll have to upload the image to the server somewhere

For the time being I'm working locally.

knbk: Are the files normally (by convention) stored in the 'static' folder like css/js assets?

no, by default they're stored in your MEDIA_ROOT

what type of regex use django for paths - url?

regexp?

Vapez either Django's simplified path syntax declaration https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.0/ref/urls/...

/details/(?P<slug>[\w-]+)

i found this, and it's working

or python regular expressions (from the re module)

thanks

do note I'm referring you to django 2.0 docs. Previously, it only used python regular expressions

I saw that

this is nice

it's easier

but what about if you want to put some text field from db, custom, instead of username for example

you can put just custom_field

nevermind

you can make it with slug

i have a issue with the save class

it doesn't autocomplete in admin
