i know it's kinda off topic but do anyone know of a good website to stream newly released movies online?

[@jasiahaugustus1864]

@Juan Billy Lately I have been using FlixZone. You can find it by googling =)

[@westongenesis7007]

@Jasiah Augustus Definitely, I've been using FlixZone for months myself :D

[@juanbilly1364]

@Jasiah Augustus Thank you, signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :) I really appreciate it!!

[@jasiahaugustus1864]

@Juan Billy Glad I could help :D

[@smishra6378]

Also, if you want to fix 'Categorys', add this meta class in your model: class Meta: verbose_name_plural = "Categories"

[@bibekjoshi34]

thanks it is helpful

[@ibrahimhennihaouas9259]

the best method you can create: category= models.ForeignKey(Caterory ,max_length=60, on_delete=models.CASCADE, related_name= 'catego')

[@sayori3939]

Yes, if a category is a part of a post then why not make it a foreign key referencing Category table?

[@sayori3939]

But if you set on delete CASCADE and we delete some category form the Category table EVERY post with that category will be deleted as well :/ maybe you wanna set to SET_DEFAULT with a default value like "misc" so every post with deleted category will have its category set to "misc"

[@Morimove]

on_delete is not required because category can be multiple and blogs can be zero at a time. On category delete or blog delete their should be no effect on other records.

[@MrMurdox]

​@sayori3939 Unless you want the post to only have one category, then you use a many-to-many relationship. A post can have many categories, and a category can belong to many posts. With a foreign key, you are creating a many-to-one relationship, where a category can belong to many posts, but a post can only have one category.

[@EzekielCarvalho]

Excellent channel, I've been learning quite a bit from you on Django. You've got yourself another subscriber.

[@Codemycom]

Thanks!!

[@pedrocampoy7740]

Hey guys, I'm a novice coder, so take my advice with a grain of salt. But for me it worked better to use the category attribute on Post(models.Model) as a relation instead of a CharField. I used 'models.ManyToManyField(to=Category)' because i wanted posts to have many categories assigned to them. Feel free to correct me if I am incorrect in what i said. I'm happy to learn! And thak you so much for this series of videos John ! It has helped me a lot!

[@akshitkushwaha9479]

Sir, your videos are a great great help to someone like me who struggles with django

[@Codemycom]

Happy to hear it!

[@andrenevares7543]

I think you are the only one that gives attention to the default property. Other vids over KZbin do not mention that. A lot of students delete db.sqlite3 and migrations (not the __init__) and then do a migration of all Data Base. Of course, with this, you do not have errors when migrating the database. But, for me, it´s so much better to understand the default property and do not lose data on the future... Great Material.

[@justasnom247]

great tutorial. any ideas how to skip restarting the server? I've noticed that the category appears after some time even without restrating the server, but are there any ways to make it instant, just like adding posts?

[@smishra6378]

Great tutorial! Here are my 2 cents to make the `choices` code a bit more pythonic- choices = Category.objects.all().values_list('name', 'name') choice_list = [choice for choice in choices]

[@felipevelasquez4587]

Para mi es mejor así ya que el formulario valida la categoría... si alguien tiene una solución mejor que la dé categoria_bd = Categoria.objects.all().values_list('pk','nombre') categoria_selected = [('','')] for item in categoria_bd: categoria_selected.append(item)

[@n.i.g.e.l]

choices = list(Category.objects.all().values_list('name', 'name')) Why the for loop if I may ask?

[@Noir_Egoiste]

choices = Category.objects.all().values_list('name', 'name') choice_list = list(choices)

[@Morimove]

i am suprized the you are covering every aspect of a website. Now I know why there are so many videos in the playlist

[@aygunbayir]

why we do not use category as foreign key ???

[@som5488]

If you are wondering how to add the category option to the edit form: Open up your forms.py. Under Meta>fields, include "category' Then under widgets, include the following code where you want your categories to show up: 'category': forms.Select (choices= choice_list, attrs= {'class': 'form-control'}), Save and then refresh your work.

[@muzy_mess]

Your videos and explanations are just amazinggg!!

[@Codemycom]

Thanks!

[@roppique]

Thank you very much for this video. but i have question -- how i can hide posts of any category from main page? but show in category list?

[@Codemycom]

Use an if statement on the main page to filter posts any way you like :-)

[@sayori3939]

Wouldn't it be easeir to make category a foreign key with "on_delete=SET_DEFAULT" set to something like "misc" so the post wouldn't be deleted if you deleted certain category and you wouldn't have to do a query on forms.py?

[@andrewwebberley2294]

Love the video, had a few suggestions for videos (don't feel pressure), comments, like button, slugs (choose the url), and author pages!

[@Codemycom]

Yep, going to try to hit most of those

[@danieldiaz855]

Hi, Jhon, Thanks for this Django Series. As a feedback I think that it's better to create a Foreign key in Post.category field instead of the query you did.😄

[@mryaz9767]

Actually, this is more applicable and easyer!!

[@Morimove]

yes you are right because user can manipulate the HTML and can save any other category which is not in the category table

Sir, I have 4 Questions sir.. 1) When we deploy this blog suppose if I add another category is there a possibility that it might not show up in main Webpage(add category page)?? 2) Is it a good practice to do like restarting the server again after adding a category? 3) Is there a way to avoid this restarting the server??

When I want to submit any post find an error like ''Reverse for 'article-detail' with arguments '( '2', '3' )' not found . 1 pattern (s) tried: ['article/(?[0-9]+$']........... Please help me out...Sir

[@angusgane48]

Pause the video at 2:01. The get_absolute_url method has been changed to redirect to the home page instead of the article detail. I think your method might still be trying to get to 'article-detail'. I'm not clear why this needs to change though.

[@adelcherfaoui5011]

i ran through the same error before i noticed that the error start occuring when i try post the 10th post, and the get_absolute_url function find trouble redirecting to a detail page with an id with 2 digit number. so in the models.py instead of using parenthesis after the args in the get_absolute_url function. use brackets, otherwise it will cause a NoReverseMatch error, after ID = 10 (for two digits numbers id ) Example: return reverse('article_detail', args=[str(self.id)])

[@shirishpatel7184]

Excellent tutorial sir, one question - how can we order items alphabetically in category select option

[@jaybon2076]

by calling {{post.category}} on the home.html page, doesn't that imply there is a a one to many relationship between our two models? I don't remember putting in a foreign key for this tutorial.

[@baslaleandro]

If you use the output of Category.objects.all().values_list('name', 'name') directly into choices you get the same behavior without having to restart the server.

[@mhood82]

I've been enjoying this series so far, but can't seem to get my category field to work properly. It insists on displaying as a text input instead of a select dropdown. My author field works fine, I've rewatched the video a couple times, scoured for typos, made sure to migrate, and even tried restarting my server several times. The choices also never displayed anything even when testing as a placeholder in title. Not sure what I'm missing...

[@mhood82]

Narrowed this down to my 'widgets = { ... }' not working at all. Fixed the main issue by defining the choices inside the Post model class Post(models.Model): categories = Category.objects.all().values_list('name', 'name') title = models.CharField(max_length=255) author = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE) category = models.CharField(max_length=255, choices=categories) This seems to have the desired effect, but I need to figure out how to pass class names still.

[@Codemycom]

you mistyped something somewhere

[@duttybwoy556]

wouldn't it be much better quicker and easier to make a relationship? a foreign Key..... from the Post model category field to the category model... so the drop down menu is directly coming from the Category model and so you rid of all the parafernalia of for loops and lists and querying in the forms.py file.... I think... am I right? am I wrong??? 🤔 i think I'm right

[@ShadowStrikingNinjas]

Before creating the for loop for choice_list, when I simply set choices=choices in my select box, it worked as it was intended. It didn't return the "query set" jumbo. I guess maybe django has updated since this video was made? Nevertheless, excellent tutorial.

[@madusan1]

Why would you not have used category as a 1 to many table. Sand markup tables appropriately. Your method does not protect against duplicates

[@Codemycom]

We're working up to more advanced topics like relationships

[@ogananfe]

I think the problem with the categories has to do with the fact that the forms.py file is only read once when the server is initially started and the forms are originally imported so the choice_list is only declared when the file is initially read. You need to retrieve the categories from the database ever single time the forms are retrieved not just when the forms are originally imported to ensure the most recent data are used. Am not sure tho cos i haven't tried it out yet😂 i just used a foreign key to link to my categories model

[@sayori3939]

Yeah it seems a foreign key is much more suitable but be aware of the on_delete option, we don't wanna delete every single post with a certain category if we ever delete said category
