new to django - just need pages

[Claire Watkins]

Hi,

I'm new to django, python etc so i've ran through the django tutorial
and it seemed to make sense.
I'm on creating my first website and i've managed to create a project
and get the admin site up and running. Now all i need to do is create
3 pages "Home", "About", and "Maps". I downloaded the django-pages-cms
but i don't seem to be getting anywhere with that.

Basically i need to configure my url's so that i can place home.html
or index.html into the site. I can't seem to do this and i've spent so
many hours looking at the settings.py, urls.py. I think i need to do
something with the template_dirs and the url patterns but... i'm just
stuck!

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Claire

Hi Claire,

A good foundation in Python is needed. First read all of this  http://docs.python.org/tutorial/  then all four of these https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/intro/tutorial01/ then this  http://www.djangobook.com/en/2.0/  (its old, but it works).

Hi Claire,

You can configure the website urls like that:

from django.conf.urls.defaults import patterns, include, url

from django.views.generic.simple import direct_to_template

urlpatterns = patterns('',

                       

    url(r'^$', direct_to_template, { 'template' : 'home.html'}, name='about'),

)

Those URL conf will render the "home.html" template when you that url "/".

To test it you run manage.py runserver then, open on your browser "http://localhost/8000"

You can also take a look at this post: http://imarcelolz.blogspot.com.br/2012/04/django-14-templateview.html

Um Abraço!
