n000b, django-cookiecutter is popular

I'm currently working on my first Django project and did it from scratch. It's definitely a lot to do. When I have more experience I'll definitely look into django-cookiecutter or similar templates

so you mean base template, not project template?

You can use any general-purpose (not intended for specific CMS\template engine) html template you can find around webs, just throw in template tags to make better use of it with django

Or you can use some frontend framework like bootstrap, material-design-lite, whatever

If I were to extend the User model by using this method (https://wsvincent.com/django-custom-user-model-...)

Could I just name my User model "User"?

viejafea, Yes

thats good to know. I feel its pretty redundant to rename it something like: AppUser or something like that

thanks ovalseven8!

viejafea, My custom User model is also called User :D

how do i extract the username of logged user in a view?

(self.)request.user.username

"self" depending FBV or CBV

ok thanks

what would be the equivalence to make a dlookup in django?

wtf is dlookup

for example in Access you have a table called X with fields a and b and you wanna extract value of a based on value of b

Do you have model describing X?

you do dlookup ("a", "X", "b=value)

yes

case/when/then?

X.objects.filter(b=value).values_list('a')

values_list('a', flat=True)

what does flat do?

those description looked more like related lookups to me %_%

makes it list

ok thank you

else it's list of tuples, since you could be selecting more than one value

if b is PK and you are sure it exists, you could probably just X.objects.get(pk=value).a

it says 'QuerySet' object has no attribute 'value_list'

it's valueS

rtfm please

docs have examples

up old question: can I extract msgid from translation string? e.g. _('name') -> 'name' ?

FunkyBob: My issue with the populated formset was solved by passing a queryset with no objects, like so: formset = EntryFormSet(queryset=Entry.objects.none()). The same issue was solved by apollo13 in May 2013. :P

Sorry, September 2010.

GinFuyou: gettext does not have a reverse lookup function. So django neither.

What would be the recommended way to implement 'fake' users in django. meaning these will be users that'll have the same fields as my extended User model, yet won't need to login logout? (related q2: what if there is a possibility of them registering later?)

lqez, but if there is no translation provided it returns msgid, right?

it's default behavior. But it looks like you're trying to get msgid from 'translated' msgstr.

I'm just wondering why do you need it

could you explain a bit more?

lqez, translating model choices which are named tuples

so I need attributes in solid english, but values as translation strings

Stigster: glad you got it working! :)

hehe, me too! Looks like I might actually meet my deadline. :D

GinFuyou: in which case? please share your models code

lqez, in any case? Not exactly what I really have now, but I used similar code for a while now: https://dpaste.de/Su7w

GinFuyou: if you want to translate choice field, I recommend you to use like this style: https://github.com/pythonkr/pyconkr-2017/blob/d...

_n is gettext_noop, it actually can work as a hack

lqez, i don't want tuple

understood

tuple is much easier ofc, but it's ugly to refer in code later

if makemessages wouldn't overwrite translation when it's done with gettext_noop...

Maybe I could force translation to English? (Which is not used anyway) It didn't appear to me that translation can be done only once

I'm using django forms, is there a way to submit fields as soon as they change?

The goal is to have a toggle switch that turns something on and off on the backend.

gcain, ajax

gcain: I would implement the toggle as a separate functionality out of the form

yeah, simple toggle doen't really need a form I guess

OK, thanks.

Guess. django can't do everything. :)

gcain: you can still include the link that makes the call inside the <form></form>

Actually, it doesn't even need to be a form, you're right!

it's not really about what django can do )

I could just do something like onClick="callthe_api"

gcain: exactly

That works.

Beauty, thanks again.

Hi everyone! I have a Django app running within docker container served by uwsgi. Single container works fine, but when served in Kubernetes, I got an "upstream prematurely closed connection" error in nginx ingress log. That requests are not visible in container log so it seems like they are not reaching them. Here is my nginx.conf: https://dpaste.de/B44u could you please take a look?

I'm trying different solutions since few days, haven't found any good solution...

how can i send a dictionary item in all views? example { 'example' : example }

the nginx returns 502 error after 3 minutes, but I see no 3m timeout anywhere in the config

zothix, context processor

GinFuyou, alright ill look into that, any kind of documentation will be helpful

I want to verify the identity of my users of my python 3 django site using OpenID Connect, and use both web pages and a REST API. Do any of you have any experience with such setup? What options should I look at?

zothix: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.1/ref/templ...

thanks!
