Hi @javiercoronadonarvaez , awesome work on this! It's so fun to see the real stats – I think for all of us in our team we'll actually see our contribution data since website-v2 is part of boostorg as well 😎!
Asides from Cristian's suggestions above, I have a couple more for further improvements:
1/ We're missing the empty state for when a GitHub account has been linked, but they don't actually have any contributions to boostorg yet – I think this takes up 92% of our current users.
2/ On your point regarding the name field will be overridden by GitHub name – I agree with your suggestion that having it only overrides if the name is blank should be much better.

Nit: Looking at card["button_url"] and card["connect_url"], maybe we can consolidate it into 1 and delete card["connect_url"] since it seems like unused elsewhere?

When I tried to click on these URLs, currently the query stats we got in the card don't actually match the result on the GitHub page. The tiny problem that cause the mismatch is just that we're missing a 1-year date filter to match the API result!
| def _search_url(login, terms): | |
| query = quote(f"org:boostorg {terms.format(login=login)}") | |
| kind = "commits" if "type:commit" in terms else "pullrequests" | |
| return f"https://github.com/search?q={query}&type={kind}" | |
| def _search_url(login, terms, kind="pullrequests"): | |
| since = ( | |
| timezone.now() - timedelta(days=settings.BOOST_ACTIVITY_WINDOW_DAYS) | |
| ).date() | |
| query = quote( | |
| f"org:{settings.BOOST_GITHUB_ORG} {terms.format(login=login, since=since)}" | |
| ) | |
| return f"https://github.com/search?q={query}&type={kind}" |
Then we'll need to adjust the call of _search_url accordingly:
- For "commits":
url = _search_url(login, "author:{login} author-date:>{since}", kind="commits") - For "prs_opened":
url = _search_url(login, "author:{login} is:pr created:>{since}") - For "reviewed":
url = _search_url(login, "reviewed-by:{login} is:pr created:>{since}")
This should help us align the card stats better with GitHub site :)

Noted and implemented.

Your suggestion is in, with one correction to the diagnosis.
The mismatch was type:commit, not the missing date filter. type: isn't a commit-search qualifier, so that link returned 0 results. Dropping it makes commits match exactly.
Verified on my own account — card vs. what each link actually returns:
| link | GitHub | card |
|---|---|---|
| commits | 7 | 7 ✅ (was 0) |
| PRs opened | 13 | 13 ✅ |
| reviews | 18 | 10 |
The date filter still matters, just not for short histories like mine. vinniefalco: 2706 commits all-time vs 5 inside the window — card says 5.
Your explicit kind param turned out to be required, not cosmetic. The old code picked the tab by sniffing "type:commit" in terms, so removing type:commit would have silently pointed the commits link at the pull-requests tab.
Reviews stay approximate (18 vs 10). created:>= filters by when the PR was opened; totalPullRequestReviewContributions counts review events. Different units, different date anchors:
- a PR opened 2 years ago but reviewed last week → counts for the card, excluded from search
- 3 reviews on one PR → 1 in search, 3 in the API
No qualifier expresses review date, so no query closes it. Filtered anyway for consistency with the other links, with a comment in the code saying why.

I think SocialAccount existence is queried twice per render in this snippet.
Perhaps we can have github_activity_state return the linked-account boolean alongside (activity, refreshing) and just re-use it?

Django 6.0 admin change_form.html submit_buttons_bottom outer form source
💡 Result:
In Django 6.0, the submit_buttons_bottom block is defined within the admin/change_form.html template [1][2]. This block is located inside the main <form> element, specifically after the fieldsets and inline objects, but before the JavaScript initialization block [1][3]. The standard implementation of this block in Django's default template is: {% block submit_buttons_bottom %}{% submit_row %}{% endblock %} The {% submit_row %} template tag is responsible for rendering the default row of submit buttons (e.g., Save, Save and add another, Delete) [4][5]. Key technical points regarding its usage: 1. Form Context: Because submit_buttons_bottom resides inside the <form ... id="{{ opts.model_name }}_form" ...> element, any buttons or inputs you add within this block are treated as part of that form [3]. When clicked, they will submit the form data to the view [6][7]. 2. Customization: To customize the submit buttons, you can override admin/change_form.html in your project and redefine the submit_buttons_bottom block [8][7]. 3. Alternatives: If you only need to add buttons to the existing row, it is often cleaner to override the admin/submit_line.html template or the submit-row block within that template rather than the entire change_form.html [4][6]. 4. Block Super: When overriding, you can use {{ block.super }} to retain the default Django submit buttons while appending or prepending your custom buttons [8][6][7]. By overriding this block, you maintain full control over the buttons' placement and behavior while remaining within the standard Django admin form submission workflow [8][7].

Remove the nested <form> and use formaction.
Django renders submit_buttons_bottom inside the main change form. The nested form is invalid, so the button submits to the change form action instead of user_refresh_github_activity. Remove the inner CSRF token and update users/tests/test_admin.py::test_refresh_button_posts_with_csrf_token to assert formaction instead of action.

Issue: #2583
Summary & Context
The "Latest Boost Github activity" card on the profile page showed fake numbers hardcoded in the view (24 commits, a PR in
cppalliance/buffers, links toexample.com). This PR makes it show the user's real activity.The numbers come from GitHub's GraphQL API, using the one shared app token we already have (
GITHUB_TOKEN) rather than asking each user for extra permissions. The spike confirmed we don't need per-user OAuth, because boostorg repos are public and any authenticated token can read public contribution counts.We save the results in the database and read from there. Loading a profile page never calls GitHub, so the page stays fast and we don't burn API quota on every page view.
v3waffle flag on, and a GitHub account connected)Builds on the draft PR #2506, which had the first version of the GraphQL query, the
GithubActivitymodel and the admin panel.Changes
When the numbers get fetched
While a refresh is running
11713:98663.Fixes to the query from #2506
boostorgandcppalliance. The setting that was supposed to limit it to one org was never actually added tosettings.py, so it silently fell back to a default that included both. Forvinniefalcothat meant showing 2042 commits instead of 5, and a featured PR fromcppalliance/http— the org @rbbeeston confirmed we don't display.O_kgDOADBg4Q).The card itself
Things I had to decide, that the ticket and Figma didn't cover — these are the main things to check:
Where the links go. Figma pointed every link at
example.com, so I picked targets: GitHub search filtered toorg:boostorgfor commits, PRs and reviews (both URL shapes verified working). The first one is "Created 1 repository" where GitHub has no URL for "repos created by this person inside this org", so it links to the org's repo list sorted by date. Happy to unlink that number instead.A failed refresh isn't retried for 5 minutes. There's a lock so that reloading the page repeatedly doesn't queue up duplicate fetches. Deliberate, but it means a temporary GitHub blip leaves stale numbers on screen a bit longer.
Three things older than this PR that I found but did NOT fix:
Provider resolution can take out the whole profile page, and it's easy to trigger.
get_social_accounts()(users/views.py:549) callsget_provider_account(), which raises if allauth can't resolve exactly oneSocialAppfor the account's provider —DoesNotExiston zero apps,MultipleObjectsReturnedon two or more (adapter.py:299-302). There's no uniqueness constraint onSocialApp, and theproviderfield on both models is unvalidated free text, so a duplicate row or one typo in admin 500s/users/me/for that user. I hit all three variants while setting up a local demo. Existed before this work; flagging because this PR makes connected accounts central to the page. Worth its own ticket, and the fix is probably for the profile page to degrade rather than raise.Connecting GitHub silently overwrites the user's
display_name.users/signals.py:37setsdisplay_namefromextra_data["name"]every time a link is created, with no check for whether the user already set their own. So anyone who has customised their Boost display name loses it the moment they connect GitHub. Pre-existing, and not touched here, but this PR gives people a reason to connect from the profile page, so it becomes much more reachable. Small fix (only set it when blank) if we want it in scope.hide_github_activitydoesn't do anything yet, and that's correct. The field says "Hide GitHub activity from the public profile", and the public profile route is still commented out (config/urls.py:163)./users/me/is your own page, so hiding the card there would hide it from the person who owns it. Nothing to do until the public profile page exists. Same forhide_mailing_list_activityandhide_badges.How to test this locally
483 tests pass across
users/andcore/, 32 of them new.To see the card with real data you need two rows in your local database that a fresh checkout won't have. Both steps are quick, but skipping either one leaves you staring at the wrong thing, so the reason for each is spelled out.
Do these in order. Step 2 before step 1 gives you a 500.
1. Create a GitHub
SocialApp—/admin/socialaccount/socialapp/add/.githubThen check
/admin/socialaccount/socialapp/shows exactly one GitHub row before continuing.2. Link a GitHub account to your own user —
/admin/socialaccount/socialaccount/add/./admin/users/user/githublocal-1{"login": "vinniefalco", "name": "<your own name>"}nameoverwrites yourdisplay_name3. Load
/users/me/.Saving step 2 fires the connect signal, so Celery fetches the data on its own:
Those are boostorg-only figures. The same handle reports 2042 commits when cppalliance is included, which is the bug described above.
4. To see the spinner and the auto-update, the saved data has to be stale, otherwise the card renders finished data on first paint:
Reload and you get "Fetching GitHub activity" with the spinner, then the numbers appearing a few seconds later without a page reload. Needs
celery-workerrunning.To check the non-JS path, disable JavaScript and reload while stale. You should get the "reload the page to see the latest" message instead of a spinner that never resolves.
One trap if you add tests here: waffle caches flags in Redis, which does not roll back with the database between tests. Creating a
Flagrow directly leaks into later tests — use@waffle.testutils.override_flag. I hit this and it silently broke an unrelated signup test.Screenshots
