Question

Here is my Server code which on execution is generating 500 error.

#views.py

import json

def registered_users_number(request):
    if not request.is_ajax():
       raise Http404

     usercount_today =  User.objects.raw("SELECT * FROM core_user WHERE DATE(reg_date) =   DATE(NOW())")
     print usercount_today
     response_data['result'] = usercount_today
     response_data['message']='You messed up'
     return HttpResponse(json.dumps(response_data), content_type="application/json")  

I guess Some syntax issues are there which I can figure out on account of my noviceness in Django and Python.

Also the print usercount_today is giving :- RawQuerySet: ‘SELECT * FROM core_user WHERE DATE(reg_date) = DATE(NOW())’.

Thanks everyone

Thanks everyone.

I got it. It was nothing but lack of familiarity with Django.

Here is the changes that i did.

views.py

def registered_users_number(request):   
    from django.db import connection
    cursor = connection.cursor()
    if not request.is_ajax():
         raise Http404

    cursor.execute("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM core_user WHERE DATE(reg_date) = DATE(NOW())")
    usercount_today = cursor.fetchone()  
    print(usercount_today)
    response_data = simplejson.dumps({"count": usercount_today})
    return HttpResponse(response_data, content_type="application/json")
