I have my main project created in Django as a web application, I have completed my coding. So now that I have to submit the project and have to present it. Is there any way I can render it as an application so that my tutor could just click on an icon or link and just directly open the application instead of starting a server and multiple other things before using the app. Any advice that would help the application to dodge this complicated process would be much appreciated.
I even tried looking up information on this but couldn't find anything ueful.
There are websites that provide free web hosting, you could upload your code there and upload the database and once you have that set up just get the url link to it and give it to the person you want.
I remember using https://www.awardspace.com/ for my school web projects. it could help you.
Theres is no way I know of that you could just render and get an .exe file to just click and install and run.

I'm entering the world of Shiny Rstudio now. So this is a beginner question
One question I came up with is: how do I search for the Shiny Apps available/created? Are all created Apps available? Is there any way that, once I create my app, I prevent it from being viewed? Or during the creation I "block it"?
From so much searching I found this link via Rstudio's website: http://www.showmeshiny.com/
Would this be the search platform for all apps made?
But in the case of http://www.showmeshiny.com/ it seems that it is necessary to send it via "Submit App".
I am not sure if I understand your questions correctly but I might be able to give you some insights.
Are all created Apps available?
No, some shiny Apps are hosted on private servers or/and are embedded in password-protected websites or Wordpress-pages for example. If you dont have those access rights, then you cannot see those Apps.
How do I search for the Shiny Apps available/created?
There is no way of doing that, except on pages like Showmeshiny, the RStudio Shiny Gallery, this gallery of recent Shiny-Apps or pther similar pages. Those Apps are publicly available and you can submit your own App if you like sharing it. Shinyapps.io is a nice and easy way of deploying your App on a server with a few clicks. But you need at least the standard license to include authentication, otherwise they would be free and open for everyone.
Is there any way that, once I create my app, I prevent it from being
viewed?
I am not quite sure, what you mean. If it should be blocked from being viewed at all, I dont see the reason of building a ShinyApp. If you just want to access it yourself, then there are ways of doing so. Either password-protect it where only you know the password or host it on a local server that only you can access.
Or during the creation I "block it"?
If you create it on your computer and run it, it will run on your computer and only be accessible to yourself, except you explicitly configure it otherwise. So there is no need of "blocking it".
Having tested a simple (hello world) app in ember a few months ago, I was really excited because I knew that Google was able to fetch and therefore index it. Another app I built in Angular a few years was also being indexed! So I pressed on with my ember development and now have an application ready to deploy. This uses a PHP/MySQL backend api.
Today, I uploaded the production build to a server and then checked things in webmaster tools using the fetch and render tool. This time, nothing is being rendered !!!! I have double checked and uploaded the hello world app to the same server, which was fetched and rendered without any problem. I have absolutely no idea why this is happening!
I then looked at ember-cli-fastboot (having not really worried about it before because I thought that Google could index single page apps) and when I run
ember fastboot --serve-assets
I get
jQuery is not defined
ReferenceError: jQuery is not defined
So I'm now at a complete standstill after a lot of work!
Any help in resolving this would be much appreciated! Ideally I don't want to have to use fastboot, but if I have to, I'm not sure how to resolve the above issue.
unfortunately, ember-fastboot has some limitations and jQuery is one of them. You could use Phantom-based prerender instead.
I want to develop a website in which users can have video chat and they can connect to other user anonymously without had been added by the other person as friend. I also want that all the active users list is displayed on the website. So somebody please suggest me how can I implement it on django?
You can use a third party service for this. Or you can use WebRTC. There are some nodejs packages which can help you do this. I like "EasyRTC" for that.
Or if you want to use Python, you can use Twisted. Here's a tutorial (found on Google, not tested by myself - https://ferretfarmer.net/2013/09/05/tutorial-real-time-chat-with-django-twisted-and-websockets-part-1/)
In essence, Django doesn't handle the video streaming/chat part. You can use Django for authentication and serving the required html and other stuff. But the video chat needs to depend on other services.
If you are looking to create a video calling and chat application using django, django_channels, you can refer to this Github Repository .
It also tells you how to deploy your app to google app engine flex with Redis instance.
It took me a long time to build this, so I created a detailed basic public repository to help someone like myself and for future reference.
I am working on a Django project and, so far, we are receiving e-mails when a Server Error 500 happens in our backend. However, as we are a team of developers, we would like to open Github Issues instead of sending these e-mails. We have our project on Github of course.
I have been searching for an existing Django App that we could reuse but unfortunately I did not find any integrating such functionality.
Does anyone know if there is such Django application? The idea seems pretty simple and I am surprised i could not find any application available for this purpose.
Moreover, a search on django packages does not show many results...
Thanks in advance
I am very new to web development. I have build a django application. Now what I want to do is log user behavior such as mouse clicking, time spend on certain section of the webpage. I am very new django so my django application is very simple and I want to start exploring how to build an user behavior tracker to my django application. Ideally I like to save all this session information in database/table. Where should I start and any example would be a great help.
What you want is just web analyics. There are lots of ready made systems that can do this for you, so you won't need to make it yourself in Django.
I would recommend Piwik as it's an open source solution. The drawback is that you have to install it yourself, so something like Google Analytics might be easier to set up, just remember that using this option enables google to track your visitors too.
There are a lots more web analytics software. For a good overview check this Wiki page:
