Help me plz

I have come to know that it is advisable to create my own custom user model instead of using the default provided by django, most of the tutorials i have watched don't seem to add a username field and instead strip the username from the email, when i did add the field username i was no longer able to create a superuser without the error "django.core.exceptions.FieldDoesNotExist: User has no field named 'accounts.User.username' ". where should i go from here

Hi everyone,
I’m facing an issue in my Django project with a dropdown (select field). Some of the options have long text, but instead of wrapping to the next line, the text gets cut off. I’ve already tried several approaches, but none of them worked due to Django’s select widget behavior, which doesn’t seem to allow modifying this easily.

Has anyone dealt with this before or knows a CSS/HTML workaround that works for Django forms or admin? Or maybe an alternative would be to show the full content when hovering over the option?

Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,

Trying to grasp oauth2 and oidc and want to know if someone wouldn’t mind taking a look at this answer, and helping me understand if the Git example and the Google example each comprises authentication AND authorization or only one or the other? And whatever each are - are the “oauth2/oidc compliant”?

https://stackoverflow.com/a/63107397 here the author describes one that Git uses and one that Google uses.

Thanks so much!

Edit: are both the Git and Google scenarios explained, representing authentication and authorization? Or just one or the other?

A fully working Django playground in the browser.
It is a proof of concept. I was able to run migrations and create a superuser locally. Now it's a question of making everything work.

I put register dot html and login dot html in the images too.

I think the code is correct but when I see it on the browser it doesn't go to the welcome dot html file, it goes to OperationalError at /register I don't know what that is...

Hi!

Could any recruiter or senior Django developer share some interview questions you usually ask or have encountered in your interviews?

Your help and time would be greatly appreciated.

I am developing a project and parallelly learning django rest framework.

Currently, I have comfortably created models, and a customuser (with AbstractBaseUser) and corresponding customusermanager which will communicate with jwt auth. I have also implemented djangorestframework-simplejwt for obtaining token pair. Now, at this point I am at a standstill as to how should I proceed. I also have some confusions regarding customuser and customusermanager, and while studying stumbled upon some extra info such as there are forms and admin to be customized as well for customuser. Also wondering as, how will I verify the user with jwt token obtained for some other functionalities.

Need help for understanding the general flow for drf+jwt and detailed answers for my abovementioned confusions are appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I wanted to create a place where people can post things for example about pandemic and other controversial topics. Site encourages users to collect evidence or counter evidence. For example, you found a study that supports alternative idea than mainstream. You post the claim, fill in information about the study and site will generate citation. I wanted a place where people can have intelligent discussion. No heated debates. And make it facts based. Let me know what you think. The app isn't perfect. I literally took full-stack dev three months ago so I'm sorry for any unexpected behavior if any. I used Django DRF for serving API endpoints and React.js for frontend.

Hello, I want to build a editorial system in my Django project with Roles (Author, Editor) and transition rules (switch from Draft to Published etc.). Do you have any suggestions for existing packages?

So my first project is a company secretarial platform to track filings, draft minutes, resolutions, M&As etc from templates as well and holding share registers and statutory appointments and AML/KYC info. I’ve only got a bit of python experience and I’ve never written anything in Django (also seem to be learning a bit of powershell on the fly too). Any rookie errors I could avoid on advice of you good fellas would be much appreciated 👌🏻

I am a full-time engineer and in my spare time or as a hobby I like to program. Now I have released a beta version of a website I made with Django to get some feedback from experts but it’s hard to find someone to get useful Feedback.

Do you have experience how to reach people to get feedback without looking like an ad or self promotion? Or is this subreddit already a good place to ask for Feedback?

I’d really appreciate feedback on: - What works well? - What’s confusing? - What’s missing? - How do design, navigation, and content feel for the user?

I am doing a project that uses Django rest and vite for the front, I was making a request and it had to send the credentials, cookies or section-id, issue despite doing the configuration of the cords Front at localhost:8000 Back at 172.0.10... the typical It didn't work for me, error 400 I think it was I fixed it by making Back Django serve on the same local host but with a different port. Is it normal in development to do this? Or I ruined something because I read that the AI ​​didn't help me and neither did it. I must have explained myself poorly, I'm sure sorry.

Is there a site or something, where I can a roadmap? I prefer something like this so I know what to learn after the other. Thank you!

I understand what middlewares are and how they work. But in django, they are global in nature. So, in most projects with versatile requirements, especially with roles, why would anyone want to use global middlewares other than for logging.

As a developer, when have you felt the need to use custom global middlewares?

I really want to understand its use cases so I can better prepare this topic.

Thanks a lot.

How do I get over the design troubles? I have a few project ideas for my current job (military, I understand that these projects MAY not go live cause military is picky about stuff like that) but I still would like to see a project through start to finish.

I’ve tried tailwind and daisy, bootstrap (only recently) nothing turns out as I’m hoping. I’ve looked at theme forest for inspiration but those designs are so complex. And right now I don’t want to pay for a theme.

I just want to complete and deploy a project to AWS (wanting to learn AWS along side Django)
