I'm trying to make an employee clock-in/clock-out app but running into some
problems.
Here is my model...
class ClockPunch(models.Model):
employee = models.ForeignKey(settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL)
date = models.DateField(auto_now_add=True)
punched_in = models.BooleanField(default=False)
punch_in_time = models.DateTimeField(blank=True, null=True)
punch_in_ip = models.GenericIPAddressField(blank=True, null=True)
punched_out = models.BooleanField(default=False)
punch_out_time = models.DateTimeField(blank=True, null=True)
punch_out_ip = models.GenericIPAddressField(blank=True, null=True)
hours_for_the_day = models.DecimalField(max_digits=4, decimal_places=2,
default="0.00", blank=True, null=True)
class Meta:
ordering = ['date', ]
def __str__(self):
return self.pk
Here are my 2 views (one for punching in and one for punching out...
class ClockPunchInView(LoginRequiredMixin, CreateView):
context_object_name = "clock_punch"
fields = ['punch_in_time', 'punched_in',]
model = ClockPunch
template_name = 'pages/layout.html'
success_url = '/'
def form_valid(self, form):
object = form.save(commit=False)
object.employee = self.request.user
object.punch_in_time = timezone.now()
object.punched_in = True
object.save()
return super(ClockPunchInView, self).form_valid(form)
class ClockPunchOutView(LoginRequiredMixin, CreateView):
context_object_name = "clock_punch"
model = ClockPunch
fields = ['punch_out_time', 'punched_out',]
#form_class = PunchOutForm
template_name = 'pages/layout.html'
success_url = '/'
def form_valid(self, form):
object = form.save(commit=False)
last_entry =
ClockPunch.objects.filter(employee=self.request.user).order_by("-punch_in_time").first()
if last_entry.punched_in:
object.employee = self.request.user
object.punch_out_time = timezone.now()
object.punched_out = True
object.save()
return super(ClockPunchOutView, self).form_valid(form)
else:
return redirect('/')
and my form is just at the top of my navbar...
<form method='POST' action='{% url 'administration:clock_in' %}'>
{% csrf_token %}
<input type="submit" style="margin-right:6px;" type="button"
class="btn btn-success" value="Clock-in"></button>
</form>
<form method='POST' action='{% url 'administration:clock_out' %}'>
{% csrf_token %}
<input type="submit" style="margin-right:6px;" type="button"
class="btn btn-danger" value="Clock-out"></button>
</form>
First of all, is there a better way to go about this? I had problems making
the ClockPunchOutView an update view where I update the last entry because
it wanted a pk for the record to update passed to it through the URL, so I
guess I'll just make every entry a new entry even though entries for
clocking/punching out will have a null value in all the punch-in/clock-in
fields and vice versa.
One problem I'm running into is in my ClockPunchOutView form_valid method
I'm trying to get the last entry so I know whether the user is punched-in
however it acts as if last_entry.punched_in is not True, even though it is
True. There must be a problem somewhere in my
last_entry =
ClockPunch.objects.filter(employee=self.request.user).order_by("-punch_in_time").first()
Thanks for any help you can give
