Django Rest Framework - Non Field Error Custom Message
python,django,django-models,django-rest-framework
When you have unique_together set on a model, the serializer will automatically generate a UniqueTogetherValidator that is used to check their uniqueness. You can confirm this by looking at the output of the serializer, and introspecting what Django REST framework automatically generates: print(repr(DeviceContractSerializer())) You can then alter the validators that...

Move models between Django (1.8) apps with required ForeignKey references

Migrating a model between apps. The short answer is, don't do it!! But that answer rarely works in the real world of living projects and production databases.

How to deal with optional GET argument?

Inheritance in Django: child class updates parent with empty fields
python,django,python-3.x,inheritance,django-models
I suspect the problem is that you are inheriting from auth_models.User. This is multi-table inheritance and isn't really appropriate for this situation. See the django docs here: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/topics/auth/customizing/#extending-django-s-default-user Which basically say if you want to store profile data in a separate table there is no need to extend auth_models.User.

Candidate.objects.filter( Q(Q(languagelevel__language__id__in=(1, 2, 3)) & Q(languagelevel__language__level__gte=1)) | Q(Q(languagelevel__language__id__in=(4, 5)) & Q(languagelevel__language__level__gte=3)) | Q(Q(languagelevel__language__id=6) & Q(languagelevel__language__level__gte=2)) )).values('id').annotate(total=Count('id')) values will only return the id of each candidate with a calculated total as total.

django - What are the alternatives to having a ForeignKey to an abstract class?

Using .update with nested Serializer to post Image
django,rest,django-models,django-rest-framework,imagefield
As noted in the docs, .update() doesn't call the model .save() or fire the post_save/pre_save signals for each matched model.
