django-crispy-forms | The best way to have DRY Django forms. The app provides a tag and filter that lets you quickly rende | Form library

I've set up user account signup and login pages following this tutorial and it all works great, except the pages have no formatting. I'm now looking for a simple drop in solution to improve the appearance of "templates/registration/login.html" and "templates/registration/signup.html". Someone recommended crispy forms which look great, and as the rest of my site uses Bootstrap 5, crispy-bootstrap5 looks ideal.

I'm struggling to implement crispy-bootstrap5 as I don't understand Django's inbuilt django.contrib.auth.forms nor forms in general, and can't find simple reproducible examples for crispy forms with signup.html and login.html. I've installed packages fine, but now don't know how to beautify login.html and signup.html from that tutorial:

I get this Error when I try to install Pyodbc , I have already install visual studio and I have Microsoft Visual C++ 12 , 15-19 in my machine but still its giving this error.

I have tried the similar problems' solutions on here but none seem to work. It seems that I get a memory error when installing tensorflow from requirements.txt. Does anyone know of a workaround? I believe that installing with --no-cache-dir would fix it but I can't figure out how to get EB to do that. Thank you.

When I run

python manage.py inspectdb --database=sybase_database

it ends with error message:

Database.register_converter(Database.DT_DECIMAL, util.typecast_decimal) AttributeError: module 'django.db.backends.utils' has no attribute 'typecast_decimal'

I am attempting to pass a slug to a form, so that it can match user accounts with related groups (called 'events' in this project/context). The slug is an identifier for the event, which has several types of many-to-many connections to user-profiles (an extension to the standard django user model specifically made for connecting users to events).

The form is supposed to create two drop-down choice fields to let an event manager set the permissions any other user has in the event, i.e. being a passive observer, an editor or a manager. However, as of now, django generates the error

'str' object has no attribute 'get'

when rendering the page. The exception is located in django/forms/widgets.py in the function value_from_datadict, with the error being stated to be on line 0 in the base template base.dashboard.html, occurring during rendering.

I've managed to avoid the error by removing both fields but leaving the slug and by removing both the candidate field and the slug, leaving the permissions field intact. I have also attempted to explicitly convert the passed value into a slug in the form (just in case some weird dynamic typing tripped the system up), but to no effect.

What am I missing?

I am using Python 3.9, Django 3.2.5 and django-crispy-forms 1.13

views.py

I'm making a generic blog while learning Django.

I have an ArticleCreateView and ArticleUpdateView, and I am trying to make a custom template that both views would share. From what I understand, CreateView and UpdateView use the same template by default (article_form.html), which is the template I'm trying to modify.

I have the following in my models.py:

Please bear with my ineptitude. I'm trying upgrade my skillset from simple python scripts to something closer to resembling a full stack developer. RN I am creating a simple Django todo app and am going through a basic tutorial here. https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/python-todo-webapp-using-django/

Env is setup with the following...

Python==3.8.9

Django==3.2.9

django-crispy-forms==1.13.0

my models.py looks like this:

So I have gone through the forums in search for an answer but haven't found one that works for me. I am using Windows machine and my Django application works on Localhost but when I try to deploy the same application to Heroku it gives me this error.

I am using bootstrap and crispy forms to style my website. But a border around all my username fields dont get displayed. Like shown here (I cut off some parts). It is confusing to me, as all other fields get displayed properly:

My Code (Form / HTML / View) looks like:
