I am trying to make a search engine of sorts in Django, where the user enters a query via a form and gets an output if the query exists in the database. Here's my code:
urls.py:
from django.conf.urls import url
from django.contrib import admin
from Search import views
urlpatterns = [
url(r'^admin/', admin.site.urls),
url(r'^', views.form),
url(r'^search/', views.data,name='search'),
]
models.py:
from __future__ import unicode_literals
from abc import ABCMeta
from django.db import models
# Create your models here.
class Album(models.Model):
artist = models.CharField(max_length=100)
album_title = models.CharField(max_length=100)
genre = models.CharField(max_length=100)
album_logo = models.CharField(max_length=100)
def __str__(self):
return self.album_title + "-" + self.artist
views.py:
from django.http import HttpResponse,Http404
from models import Album
from forms import FormQuery
from django.shortcuts import render
from django.template import loader
from . import *
def data(request):
if request.method=='POST':
form=FormQuery(request.POST)
data=form.cleaned_data
value=data['query']
if form.is_valid():
try:
album1 = Album.objects.get(artist__contains=value)
return render(request,'Search/form.html',{'album':album1})
except:
raise Http404("Does not exist.")
else:
return render(request,'Search/form.html')
forms.py:
from django import forms
class FormQuery(forms.Form):
query=forms.CharField()
form.html:
<form action="{% url 'search' %}" method="POST">{% csrf_token %}
<fieldset>
Enter an album:<br>
<input type="text" name="query" ><br>
<input type="submit" value="Submit for Search >>">
</fieldset>
</form>
{% if album %}
<h1>{{ album }}</h1>
{% endif %}
However, when I type the query, I see the url change ,but the page remains the same and my result(album name) is not displayed. I am new to Django.
form.is_valid() must be called before accessing to cleaned_data.

It seems like my models.py, forms.py, urls.py and views.py are not recognizing the elements in each other and I don't understand what could be going wrong. I'm just starting the project (CS50W Project4-Network) and I noticed the problem when I tried to render the model form and the textarea field of the form linked to the model wouldn't show on the browser, it only shows when I click submit, as a missing field to be filled, I'm not sure if its because of the same pylint errors I'm getting or something else.
Here is my models:
from django.contrib.auth.models import AbstractUser
from django.db import models
class User(AbstractUser):
pass
class Post(models.Model):
body = models.TextField()
date = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add = True)
author = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE, related_name="author", default=None)
def __str__(self):
return f"{self.body} by {self.author} at {self.date}"
The forms.py:
from django import forms
from django.forms import ModelForm
from .models import Post
class PostForm(ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Post
fields = ["body"]
widgets = {
"body": forms.Textarea(attrs={'class': 'form-control col-md-5 col-lg-6'}),
}
The views
from django.contrib.auth import authenticate, login, logout
from django.contrib.auth.decorators import login_required
from django.db import IntegrityError
from django.http import HttpResponse, HttpResponseRedirect
from django.shortcuts import render
from django.urls import reverse
from .forms import PostForm
from .models import User, Post
**I left out logging in routes**
#login_required(login_url='login')
def create_post_page(request):
return render(request, "network/create_post.html")
def create_post(request):
posted = False
if request.method == "POST":
form = PostForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
instance = form.save(commit=False)
instance.author = request.user
instance.save()
return HttpResponseRedirect("/create_post?posted=True")
else:
form = PostForm()
if "posted" in request.GET:
posted = True
return render(request, "network/create_post.html", {
"posted": posted,
"form": form
})
The urls:
from django.urls import path
from . import views
urlpatterns = [
path("", views.index, name="index"),
path("login", views.login_view, name="login"),
path("logout", views.logout_view, name="logout"),
path("register", views.register, name="register"),
path("create_post", views.create_post, name="create_post"),
path("create_post_page", views.create_post_page, name="create_post_page")
]
The template code where the form is not showing, only showing when I click submit as a missing field to be field
{% extends "network/layout.html" %}
{% block body %}
{% if posted %}
{% else %}
<h2>Create a new post</h2>
<form action="{% url 'create_post' %}" method = "POST">
{% csrf_token %}
{{ form.as_p }}
<input class="btn btn-secondary" type="submit" value="Post">
</form>
{% endif%}
{% endblock %}
The problems vscode keep raising:
No name 'Post' in module 'network.models'Pylint(E0611:no-name-in-module)
Module 'network.views' has no 'create_post' memberPylint(E1101:no-member)
Module 'network.views' has no 'create_post_page' memberPylint(E1101:no-member)
Somebody help me please, I feel like its a small problem but its driving me nuts because I can't figure out why.
Make sure you load the plugin "pylint_django" when pylint is called, and that you pass it the correct value for django-settings-module. To do this, create a file pylintrc in your project folder and give it the following contents:
[MAIN]
load-plugins = pylint_django,
django-settings-module = mysite.settings
I'm following along a book called Django for Beginners and creating a project which displays newspaper articles. Part of the functionality is being able to edit those articles. I've followed along as closely as I could but I'm still getting an error when hitting the 'Update' button:
My urls.py
from django.urls import path
from .views import (ArticleListView,
ArticleUpdateView,
ArticleDetailView,
ArticleDeleteView)
urlpatterns = [
path('<int:pk>/edit/', ArticleUpdateView.as_view(), name = 'article_edit'),
path('<int:pk>/', ArticleDetailView.as_view(), name = 'article_detail'),
path('<int:pk>/delete/', ArticleDeleteView.as_view(), name = 'article_delete'),
path('', ArticleListView.as_view(), name = 'article_list'),
]
my views.py
from django.shortcuts import render
from django.views.generic import ListView, DetailView
from django.views.generic.edit import UpdateView, DeleteView
from django.urls import reverse_lazy
from .models import Article
# Create your views here.
class ArticleListView(ListView):
model = Article
template_name = 'article_list.html'
class ArticleDetailView(DetailView):
model = Article
template_name = 'article_detail.html'
class ArticleUpdateView(UpdateView):
model = Article
fields = ('title', 'body')
template_name = 'article_edit.html'
class ArticleDeleteView(DeleteView):
model = Article
template_name = 'article_delete.html'
success_url = reverse_lazy('article_list')
My models.py:
from django.db import models
from django.conf import settings
from django.contrib.auth import get_user_model
from django.urls import reverse
# Create your models here.
class Article(models.Model):
title = models.CharField(max_length=225)
body = models.TextField()
date = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
author = models.ForeignKey(
get_user_model(),
on_delete=models.CASCADE,
)
def __str__(self):
return self.title
def get_absolute_url(self):
reverse('article_detail', args=[str(self.id)])
My HTML:
<!-- templates/article_edit.html -->
{% extends 'base.html' %}
{% block content %}
<h1>Edit</h1>
<form action="" method="post">{% csrf_token %}
{{ form.as_p }}\
<button class="btn btn-info ml-2" type="submit">Update Article {{article.pk}}</button>
</form>
{% endblock content %}
After hitting the edit button, according to the book the app is supposed to forward me to the 'article_detail' page however that is not happening.
Any assistance would be gratefully received.
Thanks
Andy
In the end it was a simple omission of a return statement in the get_absolute_url function within models.py.
I am building a web app in Django trying to use django-autocomplete-light(v.3.8.2) to create an auto-complete field. I have form that allows users to create a Trade record. I'm trying to add an auto-complete field for Trade.owned_game (a lookup field). I am just getting an empty dropdown field for the auto-complete field (screenshot attached at bottom of this post) Below is my code:
models.py:

created_date = models.DateTimeField(default=timezone.now)
author = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
def __str__(self):
return self.name # return game name when game.objects.all() is called
class Trade(models.Model):
name = models.TextField() # Unrestricted text
created_date = models.DateTimeField(default=timezone.now)
is_trade_proposed = models.BooleanField(default=False)
user_who_posted = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
owned_game = models.ForeignKey(Game, on_delete=models.CASCADE, related_name='owned_game', db_column='owned_game')

I have tried the solutions from these similar StackOverflow questions but they're not working:
Django-autocomplete-light showing empty dropdown instead of autocomplete widget
django-autocomplete-light displays empty dropdown in the form
I should have checked the javascript console earlier! The problem was one of the <link ...> scripts for jQuery was invalid. Once i fixed that, the auto-complete field worked
I have a section of my site where an admin can add a widget. However the delete button to delete any current widgets is not working. I have this code implemented else where on my site and it is working.
I copied the same code from the other section of my site where this is being used. The other section of my site which uses this code is a little different in that a post can only be deleted be the user who created it, and the widgets can be delete by any user with the "access_level" field is equal to "admin". However, I am the only admin so it should still work. The page that the widget stuff is displayed on is only accessible if your "access_level" is equal to admin so I don't need to validate whether or not they have the permission before deleting. Please help.

FieldError at /adminpanel/delete/10/

▶ Local vars
Adminpanel app models.py (widget model):

body = models.TextField(max_length=500)
def __str__(self):
return self.name
As your error is saying:
Cannot resolve keyword 'user_id' into field.
And it points to this line:
return queryset.filter(user_id=self.request.user.id)
It's that your queryset model does not have a user_id field. In your DeleteWidget view you have specified model = Widget
and as you see in your Widget model, you have the following fields: body, id, name, widget_order. There is no user_id field.
You need to change your filtering logic. If you want to have a related User model, you should use ForeignKey relation and then you can filter by the User's id.
In your models.py:
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
class Widget(models.Model):
# ...
user = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
And then in your DeleteWidget's get_queryset, you can do the following:
return queryset.filter(user__id=self.request.user.id)
# __________________________^
# Note that there is a double underscore here!
# This is because Django uses double underscore for accessing related models in queries.
I have tried to entered data to Mysql database using Django. The user enters the required data through addSubscriber.html page to save in the database but the data entered is not saved in the database. Whenever I check the Mysql table (in this case 'Subscribers' table), the table is empty. Should I install mysql-connecter or not?

Since you are using two databases, for saving entities you should specify which database to save by specifying
Subs.save(using='db2')
According to Django documentation:
If you don’t specify using, the save() method will save into the
default database allocated by the routers.
well you dont need all this extra things in the view as you are using form and why use create and also save??
just try this inside the form.is_valid
if form.is_valid():
f = form.save(commit=False)
f.save(using='db2')
return redirect('report')
