django-class-based-views

Reading a 'ProDjango' book, I've found interesting moment about applying custom decorator to methods in class-based views. Author says that we can either manually assign decorator to each method of class, i.e., get , post and so on, or we can add our decorator to dispatch() method and if we do so then decorator will be applied to each method of class( get , post etc) Question is: How actually I can apply decorator to dispatch() method of Class-based view? schillingt You can use the decorator method_decorator as shown here in the docs . From the docs: from django.contrib.auth.decorators import

Right now, this is how the password is changed within a user profile. What is the best way of converting this to a class based view knowing that there is no model involved? This is the view for changing the password @login_required def profile_change_password(request): """ Change password of user. """ user = get_object_or_404(User, username__iexact=request.user.username) if request.method == 'POST': form = PasswordChangeFormPrivate(user=user, data=request.POST) if form.is_valid(): form.save() messages.add_message (request, messages.INFO, _('password changed')) return HttpResponseRedirect

I'm using Django's Generic Relations to define Vote model for Question and Answer models. Here is my vote model: models.py class Vote(models.Model): user_voted = models.ForeignKey(MyUser) is_upvote = models.BooleanField(default=True) # Generic foreign key content_type = models.ForeignKey(ContentType) object_id = models.PositiveIntegerField() content_object = generic.GenericForeignKey('content_type', 'object_id') class Meta: unique_together = ('content_type', 'user_voted') views.py user_voted = MyUser.objects.get(id=request.user.id) object_type = request.POST.get('object_type') object = None;

I'm practicing django Class-Based-View with a basic blog application. For some reason, however, the CreateView for my Post model is not saving the post inside the database. models.py class Post(models.Model): user = models.ForeignKey(User) post_title = models.CharField(max_length=200) post_content = models.CharField(max_length=500) post_date = models.DateTimeField('date posted') forms.py class PostForm(forms.ModelForm): class Meta: model = Post exclude = ('user', 'post_date') views.py class PostCreate(CreateView): template_name = 'app_blog/post_save_form.html' model = Post form_class =

In a class-base UpdateView in Django, I exclude the user field as it is internal to the system and I won't ask for it. Now what is the proper Django way of passing the user into the form. (How I do it now, is I pass the user into the init of the form and then override the form's save() method. But I bet that there is a proper way of doing this. Something like a hidden field or things of that nature. # models.py class Entry(models.Model): user = models.ForeignKey( User, related_name="%(class)s", null=False ) name = models.CharField( blank=False, max_length=58, ) is_active = models.BooleanField

I have a formView class as you can see below:- view.py class ThreadForm(FormView): template_name = 'thread.html' form_class = ThreadModelForm success_url = '/success' def form_valid(self, form): # This method is called when valid form data has been POSTed. # It should return an HttpResponse. print form.cleaned_data return super(ThreadForm, self).form_valid(form) def get_context_data(self, **kwargs): context = super(ThreadForm, self).get_context_data(**kwargs) context['second_form'] = MessageModelForm return context thread.html {form.as_p} {second_form.as_p} SUBMIT In my template thread.html ,

I am trying to process two forms in a Django class based view. The site contains a form called form (based on GET ) for narrowing the list results of the ListView and the second form status_form (based on POST ). Both forms are required since the ListView returns a list of items. Form lets the user restrict the choices and status_forms lets the user flag incorrect items via a modal form (therefore it needs to be in the same template). My trouble is that ListView does not come with the method post , however FormView does. My class List inherits from both classes, but when I execute the class I
