Not sure if I am doing django-paypal correctly

[lone...@gmail.com]

Hello all,

  I decided to try and accept payments on my web application.  I have 
chosen the django-paypal application to help me out with this task.  I 
found a decent walkthrough at: 
how-to-accept-paypal-payments-on-your-django-application 
.
  
I was able to follow everything until the last step of: "6. Setup a 
listener to detect successful Paypal payments"  I have never really setup 
any listeners before so I did not know what to do.  I decided to read the 
Django-PayPal 
ReadTheDocs 
 and I 
found a file that looked structurally similar to what I found on the 
original walkthrough I had found.  It looks like I needed to make a 
hooks.py file in my project directory.  I have accomplished that, and the 
ReadTheDocs says: "Remember to ensure that import the hooks file is 
imported i.e. that you are connecting the signals when your project 
initializes. The standard way to do this is to create an AppConfig class 

 and 
add a ready() 

 method, 
in which you can register your signal handlers or import a module that does 
this."  This is where I am getting lost.  I am not quite sure what to do.  
Does anyone have a better walkthrough or know what I need to do?

Thank you.

Re: Not sure if I am doing django-paypal correctly

[lone...@gmail.com]

I found a better article at: Better Django-paypal article 
<https://overiq.com/django-paypal-integration-with-django-paypal/>.  For 
the most part, it does a really thorough explanation of what needs to be 
done.  There were some things that I had to adjust myself, but that was 
easy enough.  My God, I feel like I just ran a mental marathon.

When I redirect to a previously used view old data is used

[lone...@gmail.com]

Hello all,

I have a redirect that redirects to a previously used view.  The data 
in the view should change, and does, once I reload the page.  How can I get 
the new page without reloading the page first?  For clarity, here is the 
basic process I have defined so far.

1. View is loaded and everything looks great.
2. Eventually, the user goes through a redirect that points to the original 
view in step 1.
3. Once they are on the same view as step 1, the old data is present.  I 
have a to right-click and reload the page for the new data to appear on the 
view.

What am I missing?

Re: Lack of tutorials and explanations about channels

[lone...@gmail.com]

You and me both are on the same page about documentation about Channels.  I 
tried to follow: Django Channels Tutorial 🔥: the most minimal Real Time 
app (not Chat) | Django WebSockets 
 on YouTube, but I kept 
running into issues.  If you can follow this video, and figure it out, let 
me know if it is missing something.

Re: Lack of tutorials and explanations about channels

[lone...@gmail.com]

Well, I did it.  I frankensteined my way to a working Django 3.0+ and 
Channels 3.0 demo project!  Here is where I went.  I started at: 
https://testdriven.io/blog/django-channels/#add-channels. I cannot stress 
this enough, I started at the add-channels section!  During my time in 
following the instructions, I had to install Redis from source and I found 
those instructions at: https://realpython.com/python-redis/ Once I was done 
installing from source, I was back to following the first URL's 
instructions.  I figured out that I had to start the redis server with 
redis-server command.  This is how you are able to complete the below 
commands.  This is where I stopped following the instructions from the 
first URL.
>>> import channels.layers 
>>> channel_layer = channels.layers.get_channel_layer()
>>> from asgiref.sync import async_to_sync 
>>> async_to_sync(channel_layer.send)('test_channel', {'type': 'hello'}) 
>>> async_to_sync(channel_layer.receive)('test_channel') {'type': 'hello'}

I finished things off with the YouTube video of: 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4-XRK6NqMA&t.  That is the best I can do 
you right now.  My brain is mush.

well well well.  Look what I found.  https://ical.marudot.com/  I played 
around with the site a little bit and it generated what I was looking for.  
I was looking for a data structure for the Reminder feature of an Event 
object.  What I am doing in my own code is just one long string with 
variables in it.

Re: Checking API Results before saving

[lone...@gmail.com]

Ok, I have a CreateView.  The process I have now is:
blank form is created by CreateView
After I submit the data to the form, I have a post_save that calls a 
function that queries the API based on the values entered in the form.

When and how do I call the serializer during this process?

Re: Checking API Results before saving

[lone...@gmail.com]

I have been working on this issue.  Here is what I have so far.

My Model and pre_save 
information:
class walmart_query_history(models.Model):
storeNumber = models.CharField(max_length=10)
receiptDate = models.DateField(auto_now=False, auto_now_add=False)

My serializer 
file---
from rest_framework import serializers

class ValidateFormSerializer(serializers.Serializer):
tcNumber = serializers.CharField(max_length=255,

I keep getting the error code of:
AttributeError: type object 'dict' has no attribute 'endswith'

What am I missing?

Using one query set for another query

[lone...@gmail.com]

Hello all,

I am trying to use the query of:
paid_bills = bill_payment_history.objects.filter(date_paid__year='2023', 
date_paid__month='03')

as criteria for another query to only show the unpaid bills.

The known_bills model is my control list of known bills that occur 
frequently.
The  bill_payment_history model is my bill transaction table.  It is a 
running history of transactions for bill payment.

A sample of known_bills records is:
bill_1
bill_2
bill_3

A sample of  bill_payment_history is:
bill_1 paid last month
bill_2 paid last month
bill_3 paid last month
bill_1 paid this month
bill_2 paid this month
bill_3 paid this month

What I am trying to do is use bill_payment_history filtered on date_paid by 
year and month and query the known_bills table to see what bills have not 
been paid yet.  I keep trying something similar to:  results = 
paid_bills.exclude(short_description__in=known_bills)

but my results either keep coming up with all of the records or none of 
them.  What am I doing wrong?

Here is the model information:

class known_bills(models.Model):
#Full bank transaction
description = models.CharField(max_length=255)
#String value to search the CSV file with.
short_description = models.CharField(max_length=255, unique=True)
#Value I know it as.
friendly_name = models.CharField(max_length=255)
expected_due_date = models.DateField()
expected_cost = models.DecimalField(max_digits=6,decimal_places=2)

class bill_payment_history(models.Model):
description = models.CharField(max_length=255)
short_description = models.ForeignKey(known_bills, 
on_delete=models.CASCADE)
friendly_name = models.CharField(max_length=255)
date_paid = models.DateField()
cost = models.DecimalField(max_digits=6,decimal_places=2)

class Meta:
unique_together = (
('short_description',
'date_paid'),
)

Testing Django User Login Form

[lone...@gmail.com]

Hello all,

I am not sure what I am doing incorrectly with the below test case 
information.  I am simply trying to test the default authentication form of 
django 3.1.  This test should be a good/True login test.

Here is the Test case:-
class TestForms(TestCase):
def test_invalid_username(self):
# The user submits an invalid username.
data = {
'username': 'abc',
'password': 'password',
}
form = AuthenticationForm(None, data)
self.assertTrue(form.is_valid())


Here is what I am getting for output:

FAIL: test_invalid_username (rucklogs.tests.TestForms)
--
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/lonesoac0/django/rucker2021/rucklogs/tests.py", line 39, in 
test_invalid_username
self.assertTrue(form.is_valid())
AssertionError: False is not true
---

As you can see in the attached screenshot, the user abc is a good user.

Thank you.

GeoDjango Hosting

[lone...@gmail.com]

Hello all,

I am looking for a webhosting service that allows me to install qgis 
software packages on the webhost.  My preferred hosts are either Ubuntu or 
Debian.  Anyone know of any good solutions?

Thank you.

Django and QGIS Dockerimage

[lone...@gmail.com]

Hello all,

  I am playing around with Docker for the first time and would like to go 
over what I have done so far.  For one docker image, I want to add Django 
and QGIS in one image.  I think I have done that with the Dockerfile 
containing:

"FROM python:3
FROM qgis/qgis
ENV PYTHONUNBUFFERED=1
WORKDIR /code
COPY requirements.txt /code/
RUN pip install -r requirements.txt
COPY . /code/"

and the docker-compose.yml file of:
"version: "3.9"

services:
  qgis:
image: qgis
  web:
build: .
command: python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000
volumes:
 - .:/code
ports:
 - "8000:8000"
depends_on:
  - qgis
"

The requirements.txt file contains:
"Django>=4.0, <5.0
psycopg2-binary>=2.8
"

The docker image that I created that has both Django and QGIS is a little 
bit bigger than the vanilla qgis docker image, so I think I have them both 
in an image.  How can I perform a simple test to try and verify?

Thank you.

Simple Ajax Search

[lone...@gmail.com]

Hello all,

   I am looking for a simple how-to on creating an interactive search on a 
text field.  As the user types the search results change and the user can 
click on the search result that they want.  I have installed jquery3 and 
bootstrap5 in my django project.

Thank you.

Re: Simple Ajax Search

[lone...@gmail.com]

A stipulation that I forgot to mention is that the desired drop down 
selections will be coming from an external API. I did not see the package 
calling out to an external API, will this still work?

Connecting Django with Redis

[lone...@gmail.com]

Hello all,

   I wanted to verify the connection between my django and Redis was 
working and I found this article: 
https://studygyaan.com/django/connect-django-with-redis  I have already 
implemented what it asked and I got good results.  I am kind of curious 
though, can I use the instructions with the django testing framework?

Thank you.
