ModelForm.save() not creating a new row in the DB

For some reason, using the command in the title overwrites the same row instead of creating a new one and increment the id.

I've posted the code on [Stack Overflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50841225/form-save-populates-lates-row-instead-of-creating-a-new-django)

Since I do not get any error message, searching for solutions has been hard.

Thanks in advance.

Adding a search option for the Mezzanine page tree

Could anybody give me some guidance on how to add a search option for the Messanine page tree (in admin section). I'm looking in to converting a wordpress app in to Mezzanine/Django which has \~2000+ hierarchical articles in it. So to make it usable I need to provide a search option.

I looked at the related template file (mezzanine/pages/templates/admin/pages/page/change\_list.html) and it just have following code block.

`{% block content %}`
`<div id="content-main">`
`{% if has_add_permission %}`
`{% include "admin/includes/content_typed_change_list.html" %}`
`{% endif %}`


`{% if cl.result_count == 0 %}`
`<p class="paginator">0 {{ cl.opts.verbose_name_plural }}</p>`
`{% else %}`
`<div id="tree">{% page_menu "pages/menus/admin.html" %}</div>`
`{% endif %}`


`</div>`
`{% endblock %}`

Using jQuery to Auto refesh blog on update.

I need to use jQuery to check if my blog was updated and then to refresh the page if it has.

I see plenty of tutorials on how to do this using a php back end.
but I don't know jQuery well enough to make it work with Django.

Why do you need to check if user entered an email when creating their account? (Custom User)

I'm creating a custom user, mostly because I want the email to be used for logging in instead of a username. As I understand, `USERNAME_FIELD = 'EMAIL_FIELD'` already makes the email required. So, why do the docs say you should write in the Custom User Manager inside of the create\_user method:

if not email:
raise ValueError("Users must have an email address")

Isn't it redundant to do that check when it's already required because the email is used by USERNAME\_FIELD?

I would also like to quickly confirm that there are no is\_admin, last\_login, etc properties that comes with AbstractBaseUser? You have to create all these properties by yourself and then create methods for them as well which for example update last\_login every time user logs in.

Which javascript to use on the front end?

I've come a grudging acceptance that I will have to learn and add some javascript to a little personal project that I've been using to learn a few things as I go along. And I'm sure this comes up a lot, I'm just having trouble finding something relevant.

If I wanted to add a little bit of interactivity on pages, what is the best route to go down. Vanilla Javascript? JQuery? Can Vue be used for just scripts or does it have to be used as a full on framework? Something I'm not aware of?

Will the mega tutorial help me learn how to build more interactive apps than something like a blog?

I'm finished about a quarter of the mega tutorial and while it's very good, it also seems to be primarily focused on creating kind of a barebones blog style app without lots of user interactivity going on. My end goal is to make a speed reading app that can take text from an outside source (probably going to start with just taking wikipedia articles) and spacing the words into chunks of words you can read one at a time


ex: so instead of reading this word for word


[you would] [read it like] [this and] [read faster]

and maybe having every block highlighted with a different color.


 

Do you guys think the mega tutorial could help satisfy this?

Django Graphene tutorial question

I went through the graphene tutorial and using relays. But I have am a bit confused on one thing

If you go through the normal tutorial when you do single queries the query part is defined by


class Query(object):
category = graphene.Field(CategoryType,
id=graphene.Int(),
name=graphene.String())
If you do the one with relay the query part is defined as

class Query(object):
category = relay.Node.Field(CategoryNode)

If I want both features (single queries and filters from relays) does that mean I have to define a new variable for one to have both features? or do I just used relays and somehow the typings for the fields are inherited. I am just kind of confused by the ambiguous way the tutorials are written.

I posted about the Masonite Python web framework a few months ago on this /r/python here and it received interesting feedback. During this time we received a few contributors who are just super awesome and contributed some awesome features.

We also were able to boost the speed of the framework to serve about twice as many requests in 30 seconds as Masonite 1.6 using some \`wrk\` benchmark testing.

Our contributors are extremely excited for this release and we can't wait to show it to the Python community. We think many of you will love the framework.

I currently have a python 3 program on my desktop. I run it with idle and everything is how I want it. What I want to do with Django is use this code to print its outputs on a webpage and have the user download it’s additional csv file output. I have managed to make a Django localhost and I am stuck at that point. I do not know how to use my python 3 code to run to webpage. The code is made up of api calls , I use postman to help me with sending the right parameters. I will add a example of code. All I want is for user to enter value such as “accountID” so that the api can complete the request and give them data for their own request. I would highly appreciate help on this

I have been trying for hours, from my understanding I have to make a view then send to HTML template

Good flask apps to study from?

I'm about a quarter of the way done with the mega tutorial and want to see if I know just enough to get my hands dirty. I want to build something more engaged than a blog site (in particular I'm trying to build a speed reading saccade app) and I'm looking for any potential fully developed flask apps on github and such that I could study from.
