When you app depends on a custom user model

Django "strongly recommends" you create custom user, and in your apps you can refer to the custom user with "settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL" or with get_user_model(). Here's the problem. If you develop an app which refers to the custom user, the migrations won't be portable because even if you use

I'm not expert in doing this but the short answer is yes to both questions. You might want to look into instructions for running Nginx and Apache together. I haven't done this but there's a lot of info out there. Even if that's not exactly what you want it might help On Friday, October 8, 20

Re: When you app depends on a custom user model

One more note... I deleted the database and migrations and started clean again, and this time when I opened the migration file it had setting.AUTH_USER_MODEL the way I wanted it. So I don't know why it didn't do that before. On Monday, October 11, 2021 at 9:17:39 AM UTC-4 b

I think the problem here is Google doesn't want to be embedded and there isn't much you can do about it. If you can test it by replacing Google's URL with another one that works, then I think you proved your code is good. On Monday, November 1, 2021 at 8:53:52 AM UTC-4 greenk...@gmail.com wr

Custom User App

Hi Django people. I request your thoughts on a custom user app. It's called 'TougshireAuth', but my intent is that it be renamed and hacked each time it is added to a new project. Otherwise it's not really a custom user I would appreciate feedback. I'm an amateur who is ready to accept honest

dotenv - django-environ - etc

Hi everyone, I can't wrap my mind around why having my settings in a .env file is more secure than having them in a local_settings.py file, or why one of the various methods is better than another as long as you keep your local settings out of your version control. Any opinions? -- You recei

Is there a function that returns common elements in multiple lists

Hello, Is there a built in function that compares two or more lists and returns elements common to all? like this: def in_both( list_a, list_b ): list_c=[] for value in list_a: if value in list_b: list_c.append(value) return list_c Or this: def in_all(list_of_lists): list_a = list_of_lists.po

Thank you. That set.intersection with list conversion seems like the way to go. On your second point, well taken. I'll keep that in mind for future Python questions On Tuesday, January 25, 2022 at 7:46:58 AM UTC-5 bnmng wrote: > Hello, > > Is there a built in function that c

Re: relations

I would start by defining Supplier in your models.py, then Shipment with a ForeignKey reference to Supplier I'm assuming (forgive me if I'm wrong) that not only can a shipment have many species, but a species can be in many shipments, so if that's the case, the most obvious way is to go with Ma

self.request.POST in get_context_data

Hi. I can find dozens of examples of people using "if self.request.POST:" inside of get_context_data, but as far as I can tell there is no POST in get_context_data. I came across this in an answer in Stack Overflow: >> get_context_data() is only run for GET requests (assuming you are using

Using ModelForm to get labels in a DetailView

I don't know if this is good practice, but to get field labels in a DetailView, it seems to work fine if you just add a form to the context: views.py: class ItemDetailView(DetailView): model = Item context_object_name = "item" def get_context_data(self, **kwargs): context_d

Re: django-admin doesn't display choices and it's not possible to select one

Hi. I don't see anything in your code samples that would cause this. One line in admin.py caused the server to stop because of the extra parenthesis, and the default for status should be 'r' instead of 'refereed', but those don't cause the problem you're describing. Maybe a browser issue?

I'm not sure but you might be calling a function without the parentheses somewhere. Seems like the function would return an object that has a _meta attribute, but without the parentheses the code is looking at the function itself, and not the object that the function returns On Wednesday, Sep
