I am a beginner at web application development using django framework.
I am creating a crispy form to update the user information and upload an image.
The html file contains two forms, one for updating the information and second for uploading the image.
While the rest of the form language setting is us-en, only the button and text next to the upload button are seen in german language.
The settings.py file has the chosen language code as 'en-us'.
In the model.py file the forms are defined like below:
The forms are then used in the html file:
But the webpage shows the following:
could anyone please help me understand, what is making only the upload button language change to german and how could I possibly fix it?
Thank you :)
already tried: checking the language code in the settings.py file
So it turns out that the file chooser language is determined by the browser language settings and not the language given in the settings.py file of the django project. This is because the file chooser is provided by the browser and not native to the crispy form.
FYI: Instead of deleting the post, I am answering my own question as the answer might help someone else who is facing a similar issue :)

Background:
I need to allow users to create web pages for various products, with each page having a standard overall appearance. So basically, I will have a template, and based on the input data I need the HTML page to be generated for each product. The input data will be submitted via a web form, following which the data should be merged with the template to produce the output.
I initially considered using a pure templating approach such as Nunjucks, but moved to ReactJS as I have prior experience with the latter.
Problem:
Once I display the output page (by adding the user input to the template file with placeholders), I am getting the desired output page displayed in the browser. But how can I now obtain the HTML code for this specific page?
When I tried to view the source code of the page, I see the contents of 'public/index.html' stating:
This HTML file is a template.
If you open it directly in the browser, you will see an empty page.
Expectedly, the same happens when I try to save (Save As...) the html page via the browser. I understand why the above happens.
But I cannot find a solution to my requirement. Can anyone tell me how I can download/save the static source code for the output page displayed on the browser.
I have read possible solutions such as installing 'React/Redux Development Extension' etc... but these would not work as a solution for external users (who cannot be expected to install these extensions to use my tool). I need a way to do this on production environment.
p.s. Having read the "background" info of my task, do let me know if you can think of any better ways of approaching this.
Edit note:
My app is currently actually just a single page, that accepts user data via a form and displays the output (in a full screen dialog). I don't wish to have these output pages 'published' on the website, and these are simply to be saved/downloaded for internal use. So simply being able to get the "source code" for the dislayed view/page on the browser and saving this to a file would solve my problem. But I am not sure if there is a way to do this?
Its recommended that you use a well-known site generator such as Gatsby or Next for your static sites since "npx create-react-app my-app" is for single page apps.
(ref: https://reactjs.org/docs/create-a-new-react-app.html#recommended-toolchains)
If I'm understanding correctly, you need to generate a new page link for each user. Each of your users will have their own link (http/https) to share with their users.
For example, a scheduling tool will need each user to create their own "booking page", which is a generated link (could be on your domain --> www.yourdomain.com/bookinguser1).
You'll need user profiles to store each user's custom page, a database, and such. If you're not comfortable, I'll use something like an e-commerce tool that will do it for you.
You can turn on the debugger (f12) and go to "Elements"
Then right-click on the HTML tag and press edit as HTML
And then copy everything (ctrl + a)
Django shows you forms when you do basic coding, right?
Where is the html of the automatically generated form in windows?
So instead of looking for a template folder, once the developer writes the url or views code, he finds the location of the skeleton-only html that Django shows.
In my opinion, it looks like it's built somewhere like an "anaconda/envs" contains a separate virtual environment, but I can't find it.
it's maybe path?
It's well documented:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.2/ref/forms/renderers/
It loads templates first from the built-in form templates directory in
django/forms/templates
unless you have 3rd party libraries included that override these templates.
However, a quick check in https://github.com/django/django/tree/master/django/forms/templates/django/forms/ shows that this directory is empty.
tl;dr
Django does not render any forms from scratch (unless it's the Admin which of course creates its whole UI automatically). It just enables you to quickly create a template that can render your form but you will still have to provide a basic template (aka HTML markup with dynamic parts) yourself.
I am making a website for a medical practice and they would like for the new patient files to be a pdf file that can be downloaded.
I have found a few answers but nothing really explains how to explicitly make a download pdf file button on the website with a front end framework like react. I would greatly appreciate as much detail as possible as I am still new to this.
is there some other way to edit or change some text or pictures on my website using it's interface or not from the HTML file, cause my client is wondering on how can day update the "Events" Box(they don't know how to use HTML) i'm really new at this and open to any suggestions, thank you
It depends on what you are using. if you are using a CMS based program that would be possible.
you cannot edit a page without opening its files right of the browser without any external help.
It seems that you want to edit the content of your website. Yes, its possible without opening any file using your CMS Dashboard. If the content is static then you have to open the php/html file.
I have this theme http://themes.two2twelve.com/site/fluidapp/light/ installed on my website running wordpress. I converted the template to a wordpress theme by following the steps here: http://thethemefoundry.com/blog/html-wordpress/ and its all working fine.
However, I have now been given the crazy task to integrate a "Back button" function in it.
What they want is to have some sort of Back button functionality (or the browser one) so when they open Team and they press Back - they go back to Home. The template is basically one-paged, you can see so in the source code.
One way I can see this happening is if I make every page a different .php file, upload them to my theme folder and then just hyperlink them. like www.yoursite.com/team.php
Another possible way (I think) would be to create a page.php template file and then post the pages using wordpress. Question: How do I tell wordpress to use page.php as the page template file?
Can you think of another way to integrate this functionality? Thanks a lot in advance.
If it always is going to return the user to the startpage you could just use the home_url(); function.
Back
If you got more advance structure and you want the button to just redirect the user back one page, you should use javascript.
Back
page.php is the default template for wordpress pages. So if no other is selected in admin, page.php will be used.
If you're using javascript to load the new content, you could use javascript pushState()and popState() to log the stuff to new url's, and it gets added to the browser history. Here's an example.
