django-views

I am new to django and I am currently trying to build a website that allows users to sign in and view other users profiles. So far I have managed to let users sign in but I can't work out how to view other peoples profiles. Each profile uses the users username to create a url for their profile. Currently if I sign in as one user and change the URL to another users profile URL, it still displays the current users profile. I want something similar to pinterest where any person whether they are signed in or not can view peoples profiles. Any help would be appreciated! View from django.http import

Suppose I have: ds = datetime.datetime.now dd = Entry.objects.get(pk=id).pub_date How to compare 2 objects above? I want to get the time difference between them. Please help me solve this problem. Thank you very much ! I am assuming that pub_date is a django.db.models.DateField , which means you can treat it as a datetime.date object. If you convert them to the same type (either datetime.datetime or datetime.date ) and subtract one from the other, you will get an instance of datetime.timedelta . As you are using datetime.datetime.now() , if your pub_date is simply a date rather than a datetime

I find Django's request.is_ajax a very useful way to add progressive enhancement via JS and still keep DRY in my views. However, I want to use class-based views and render with a different template if request.is_ajax. It is not clear to me how I can override my default "template_name" and make the template loading conditional in class-based views. How can I do this? The appropriate way to do this is to override the methods provided by the TemplateResponseMixin . If you simply need to provide a different template for Ajax requests, then override get_template_names . If you want to provide a

This is probably a fairly simple question, but I can't seem to figure it out from the Django Docs. I'm trying to save a two ModelForms at once with one being a ForeignKey of another. I'm not sure how to write the logic in the views to ensure these go together properly. models.py class Address(models.Model): address = models.CharField(max_length=100) city = models.CharField(max_length=50) zipcode = models.PositiveIntegerField() class Store(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=100) description = models.CharField(max_length=140, blank=True) address = models.ForeignKey(Address, null

I have quite a simple problem to solve. I have Partner model which has >= 0 Users associated with it: class Partner(models.Model): name = models.CharField(db_index=True, max_length=255) slug = models.SlugField(db_index=True) user = models.ManyToManyField(User) Now, if I have a User object and I have a Partner object, what is the most Pythonic way of checking if the User is associated with a Partner? I basically want a statement which returns True if the User is associated to the Partner . I have tried: users = Partner.objects.values_list('user', flat=True).filter(slug=requested_slug) if

i am using Django to create a user and an object when the user is created. But there is an error __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'user' when calling the register() function in view.py. The function is: def register(request): '''signup view''' if request.method=="POST": form=RegisterForm(request.POST) if form.is_valid(): username=form.cleaned_data["username"] email=form.cleaned_data["email"] password=form.cleaned_data["password"] user=User.objects.create_user(username, email, password) user.save() return HttpResponseRedirect('/keenhome/accounts/login/') else: form = RegisterForm()

I have the following simple view. Why is it resulting in this error? The view auth_lifecycle.views.user_profile didn't return an HttpResponse object. It returned None instead.
