django-views

I would like to output debug messages in my django app at different points in a view function. The docs for the django-debug-toolbar say it uses the build in python logging but I can't find any more information then that. I don't really want to log to a file but to the info pane on the toolbar. How does this work? You just use the logging module methods and DjDT will intercept and display them in the Logging Panel. import logging logging.debug('Debug Message') if some_error: logging.error('Error Message') Logging straight to the root logger, as @jonwd7 mentioned, is usually not recommended.

Apologies, I am completely new to Django and Python. I have 2 questions. First, how would I go about getting the last object created (or highest pk) in a list of objects? For example, I know that I could use the following to get the first object: list = List.objects.all()[0] Is there a way to get the length of List.objects? I've tried List.objects.length but to no avail. Second, is it possible to create simultaneous filters or combine lists? Here is an example: def findNumber(request, number) phone_list = Numbers.objects.filter(cell=number) I want something like the above, but more like: def

I want to search multiple fields in many models. I don't want to use other apps like 'Haystack' only pure Django. For example: # models.py class Person(models.Model): first_name = models.CharField("First name", max_length=255) last_name = models.CharField("Last name", max_length=255) # other fields class Restaurant(models.Model): restaurant_name = models.CharField("Restaurant name", max_length=255) # other fields class Pizza(models.Model): pizza_name = models.CharField("Pizza name", max_length=255) # other fields When I type a 'Tonny' I should get a: "Tonny Montana" from Person model "Tonny's

I'm trying to do something like this: class AboutView(TemplateView): template_name = 'about.html' def get_context_data(self, **kwargs): context = super(AboutView, self).get_context_data(**kwargs) context['dahl_books'] = Books.objects.filter(author="Dahl') When I try to access dahl_books in my template like this: {% for book in dahl_books %} dahl_books is not available in the template context, even though the Books QuerySet returned a non-zero number of books. ....am I doing something wrong in either my template or in get_context_data ? I can't test it, but I bet you need return context at the

I want to create a many-to-many relationship where one person can be in many clubs and one club can have many persons. I added the models.py and serializers.py for the following logic but when I try to serialize it in the command prompt, I get the following error - What am I doing wrong here? I don't even have a HyperlinkedIdentityField Traceback (most recent call last): File "<console>", line 1, in <module> File "C:\Users\user\corr\lib\site-packages\rest_framework\serializers.py", line 503, in data ret = super(Serializer, self).data File "C:\Users\user\corr\lib\site-packages\rest_framework

In a Django request I have the following: POST:<QueryDict: {u'section': [u'39'], u'MAINS': [u'137']}> How do I get the values of section and MAINS ? if request.method == 'GET': qd = request.GET elif request.method == 'POST': qd = request.POST section_id = qd.__getitem__('section') or getlist.... Johannes Gorset You can use [] to extract values from a QueryDict object like you would any ordinary dictionary. # HTTP POST variables request.POST['section'] # => [39] request.POST['MAINS'] # => [137] # HTTP GET variables request.GET['section'] # => [39] request.GET['MAINS'] # => [137] # HTTP POST and
