Obtaining value in views.py from template

I've got the following code within my html template:

Template

<div class="submitbutton"> <a href="{% url 'accounts:customerhomepage' %}" target="_blank" value="1"> <button> View Demo </button> </a> </div>

I'd like to pass the value of 1 to the function in views.py that will render the page. Within the view, I've got the following code.

Views.py

demo = request.GET.get('value')
print(demo)

The printed result is 'None' rather than '1'. I'm not sure where my code is wrong.

Thanks!

Separate Project, same database

I have a django project which needs some infinatly looping background tasks. Because I want to decouple this from my webserver (for scalability among others) I want to create a separate project that handles these backgrounds threads, where the projects will communicate over an message broker like RQ. here's the catch, both projects need access to the same database. Now I have two options. Either share the database(my prefered option).
Or keep 2 separate databases in sync(potential horror).
for the first option I would love it if I could import the models I defined in my django models, so I don't have to worry about keeping my database models in sync over two projects, and not have to worry about writing one database in sqlalchemy and the other in the normal django orm.
Any suggestions?

Export FLASK_APP only works sometimes

Hi all,

I am running into an issue where export FLASK_APP will sometimes work and other times doesn't.

Initial Steps:

1. Git clone https://github.com/level09/enferno and cd enferno
2. create virtual env
3. Brew Install mongodb and start it
4. install requirements.txt
5. npm install

Now if I do this:

1. export FLASK_APP=enferno.py
2. flask run
3. printenv FLASK_APP (this prints enferno.py)

I get error: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'enferno'

If I do this instead:

1. export FLASK_APP=run.py
2. flask run
3. printenv FLASK_APP (this prints run.py)

I get error: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'enferno.app' (which is logical, it cannot "see" enferno yet)

But if I repeat Initial Steps again in a different directory, running export FLASK_APP=run.py works!
I get the following:

(venv_enf2) 192-168-1-3:enferno user$ flask run
* Serving Flask app "run"
* Forcing debug mode off
* Running on http://127.0.0.1:5000/ (Press CTRL+C to quit)

I did not do anything different between the two directories, but both has different outcomes. Is there a flask dump I can get and read what's wrong with it?

In both directories I used the same virtual environment.

JavaScript integration with flask

Hey there,
I currently want to integrate my frontend with my python code and decided to use flask for the it. I tried jsonify() to create a jason object and send it to JavaScript but it doesn’t seem to work. Any ideas of what could go wrong or any material which would help in this integration.
Thank you.

How and why does JupyterLab depend on Node.js?

I installed the Matplotlib Jupyter widget, and found out it had Node.js as a prerequisite. [Link to instructions](https://github.com/matplotlib/jupyter-matplotlib)

Why? How does JupyterLab use Node?

Thank you.

Using flask-oauthlib in production or authlib

Hi all. I wanted to use flask-oauthlib in a website I'm building, and got it working last night. However, I noticed that the front page of the project has a warning to use authlib instead.

Are people using flask-oauthlib in production? Are you planning to migrate to authlib?

flask-oauthlib page, note the warning:

Is there a way to add "Save and Add Another" button in crispy forms?

In Django admin there is an option Save and Add Another. How can similar function be added into crispy forms, so that entry from the first submitted form is kept?

Questions about models

Hey there!

I started out with Django and followed some tutorials. I do know some things about databases but not too much.

My questions:
Let's say we have two models.
1. Bookstore
2.Book

Does bookstore refer to a lot of book ojects
Or
Does a book refer to a bookstore object?

Thanks in advance!
