hi

ive got this login form with action-"{% url 'accounts:login_p' %}" but when i submit the form i get a 302 response for login_p

in urls.py i have path('login_p', views.login_p, name='login_p') and in views.py i have a def login_p block

what else can i look for?

Err.. isn't 302 expected? (moved temporarily)

Since your browser should redirect you to Location-field

found in headers.

ahh i was thinknig of it differently

that makes sense

hey so my custom widget using my own template is coming along nicely... but i'm going through django/forms/widgets/*.html ... and I can't for the life of me find where the label tag is coming from... any ideas?

What's the determinig factor in making a Django folder an app? And how is the project foler (the one that includes wsgi.py) different?

newdimension: app is any python package that defines AppConfig and is added to INSTALLED_APPS

project folder is one that contains stuff that makes up your whole web project, settings and serving stuff. (like wsgi.py)

Is it project folder's path hard coded somewhere?

*Is the

Nope.

Though, manage.py has reference to initial settings.

How does Django know to load project_folder/admin.py for example?

If it's not INSTALLED_APPS

It can't.

I have project_folder/amdin.py and in that I have admin.site.register(sites.models.Site, SiteAdmin). It works, but I'm trying to figure out why

Wonder if admin does something magic with project folder...

hi everyone, I'm trying to use it: https://pypi.org/project/django-instagram/ but this poor documentation don't explain WHERE to put the instagram autentication token code. Please help?

fellipe: Read the source code?

newdimension: That shouldn't happen.

i have a line in views.login_p that just prints "Loggin in", that never gets hit though

uhh

jtiai: well, wouldn't be more reasonable if this information were in the documentation?

fellipe: You can ask that from that module developers. It's not Django's fault.

they're asking a question, not blaming django's core developers :P

jtiai: sure, that's right. So, at least, do you have any suggestion of where to put the token?

fellipe: Nope. But most probably that can be found from the source code...

jtiai: right.. I am trying to find it

i think that is an instagram thing

not a django thing

the token is for authenticating with instagram's api

jtiai: right, not sure why it's working. I double checked my settings, I don't have any referring to project_folder/admin.py

*anything

fellipe: I've feeling that package is not complete...

briian: sure, but it must be where to put the token

fellipe: there isn't even anything about the token in the github

jtiai: hummm. I tried to use as is, and it loads data from specific instagram

"A Django application that allows to use some template tags for displaying content from an Instagram public profile.

Requirements

"

So I guess is scrapes just public info by username.

yeah, there is a script for it in the repo, i would look for python specific ones, not django specific ones

if you just want a wrapper for the instagram api that is

or lib, whatever its called

fellipe: Check usage. It actually just reads public crap from any user (amd in example) adn can republish it on your site.

fellipe: oddly, the README on github doesn't even mention the access token, which is weird because the last commit is "release 0.3" which is the pypi version with that note.

Wooble: yeah, too weird

oh, there's a README.md and a README.rst that don't match.

anyway, do anyone know a good django-instagram alternative project?

Wooble: Isn't it fun?

fellipe: That depends what you're looking for.

if 1 readme is better than 0, clearly 2 is even better than that.

fellipe: https://djangopackages.org/grids/g/instagram/ that can give some pointers to you.

jtiai: I just want to get latest images from a public instagram feed

fellipe: Well that django-instagram package can do that.

You just need to give it username in one tag.

(it's completely template tag based solution)

jtiai: I tried to put the username but no success

FWIW, they do seem to have had an admin page that handled tokens in v0.1, but removed it in 0.2

im so confused

I submitted a bug report.

I tried with a different instagram username and it worked. The bug happens when use special characters like dots

fun.

hey guys can someone help me go through this. i followed a tutorial for creating middleware to login, it somehow worked yesterday (i was authenticated, and had to log out to test, no idea how) but is not giving me any kinda errors or feedback or printing where i said to in my code today. this is a paste of everything relevant https://dpaste.de/RvAZ

also to note in urls.py i have path('login_p/') that fails because of trailing slash and POST data, gona switch back to login_p i guess

so i followed a tutorial for the middleware and the authentication uses django_auth_ldap.backend.LDAPBackend, but like i said im not even gettin prints from the view functions or anything so im not sure where its going wrong

dev console shows that login_p is being accessed and i have the route for it defined

briian: on line 67 usually reverse takes a view name string so shouldnt it be reverse('login_screen') ?

also i usually name my urls with hyphens instead of underscores to differentiate from function names.. but thats just me

drvid: probably, i tried copying a legacy app's configurtaion from my company

configuration

had to change some stuff since that was 1.10 though but i didnt look too far into it... ill put that change in, but i dont tihnk its the cause here

yeah you were right though it was meant to be login_screen, i didnt like the naming they used personally lol

you can also from django.shortcuts import redirect then return redirect('login-screen') with the url name

cool

will do that

also with regards to the middleware... might just be easier to use @login_required decorator on your views ?

hello! using django 2.1.1. how do I copy model intances from a model in app src to another model in app dst? the overall goal is to move complete models from app src to app dst

briian: process_view() doesn't get called in new-style middleware. You either have to do the check in __call__ or call process_view() yourself

ideally, auto_now datetime fields would not be updated during the copy process

knbk: isnt that what im doing in response = self.get_response(request)

on line 23 in middleware, print(path) gets printed

that function is being called

Who sets the widget for ModelChoiceField? I don't see where it's being configured https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/dj...

self.get_reponse() doesn't call process_view()

are you 100% sure the printed path is coming from that line?

newdimension: ChoiceField has widget = Select as a class attribute

knbk: yes because line 29 gets called

which i dont know why.. i think i might be confusing exempt_urls

i shoulve included that in the paste, one sec

knbk: here are my exempt urls https://dpaste.de/ECpB

ehm nevermind, it's process_request/response that's no longer called

gotcha, i did see that somewhere on SO as well

sorry i dont fully understand whats going on, trying to get this all as i go

i wish i knew how i managed to get authenticated yesterday though

knbk: "# This class is a subclass of ChoiceField for purity, but it doesn't actually use any of ChoiceField's implementation." this through me off, so I didn't check ChoiceField when I should have. Thank you

*threw

briian: so what's LOGIN_URL? EXEMPT_URLS? path?

hi

hi

so my boss asked me to research django + knockout to work on an existing web application

but he said i'll only be doing frontend, and no python stuff. that means i can assume i won't actually need to learn python/get deep into django right

foodSurprise: really depends on what frontend you're using, but django templates is pretty hefty in and of itself

we're using knockout, and i'm assuming the models are already complete and aren't subject to change

i'm just wondering how much time i shuold invest in learning python and innerworkings of django

if he said we're only messing with javascript

foodSurprise: what sort of answer do you want? Look at django templates and maybe views as that is the "front end" side of it

it'd be good to understand the basics at the very least, especially if you ever want to get off the front end

drvid, thats all i was wondering

Kangermu, well i'm still learning sql so he put me on the front end
