django beginner

[ngangsia akumbo]

I am new to django

i have been given a task to build a website using django . I dont know where to start.
I am suppose to include a services page, events, booking and a blog

This is my first project, can i have some tips ? Thanks

[alghafli]

Hi,
I am also new to django and I started by reading the django tutorial.
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/intro/overview/
It covers installation then shows how to construct a django application. It takes you step by step in constructing an example application.
I believe it is a very good place to start and understand what django is and how it works.

Regards,
Mohammad

Step 1 is to work through the excellent tutorial ...

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/

Step 2 is to draw on paper what you want the website to look like and
what the various buttons and links will do.

Step 3 is to look for something which has already been done which might
suit your needs. You could look through Django packages for events,
booking and blog apps.

Provided you don't skip step 1 it will be easy.

Cheers

Mike

no i did not

[Sithembewena Lloyd Dube]

I suggest you do so. It is important to understand how the framework works before attempting to create your own projects or even using existing apps.

Page not found (404)
Request Method:    GET
Request URL:    http://127.0.0.1:8000/articles/year
Using the URLconf defined in mysite.urls, Django tried these URL patterns, in this order:
^articles/(\d{4})/$
^articles/(\d{4})/(\d{2})/$
^articles/(\d{4})/(\d{2})/(\d+)/$
^admin/
The current URL, articles/year, didn't match any of these.
You're seeing this error because you have DEBUG = True in your Django settings file. Change that to False, and Django will display a standard 404 page.

I keep having this prob

[Lachlan Musicman]

You need a ^articles/year/$ in your urls.py if you want to visit
http://127.0.0.1:8000/articles/year/

Your URLs are looking for:

http://127.0.0.1:8000/articles/dddd - eg http://127.0.0.1:8000/articles/2014
http://127.0.0.1:8000/articles/dddd/dd/ - eg
http://127.0.0.1:8000/articles/2014/07/
http://127.0.0.1:8000/articles/dddd/dd/{digits} - eg
http://127.0.0.1:8000/articles/2014/07/02

There is no http://127.0.0.1:8000/articles/year/ in that list.

The idea is that a beautiful image is frameable. Everything you need
to see is there: It’s everything you want, and it’s very pleasing
because there’s no extra information that you don’t get to see.
Everything’s in a nice package for you. But sublime art is
unframeable: It’s an image or idea that implies that there’s a bigger
image or idea that you can’t see: You’re only getting to look at a
fraction of it, and in that way it’s both beautiful and scary, because
it’s reminding you that there’s more that you don’t have access to.
It’s now sort of left the piece itself and it’s become your own
invention, so it’s personal as well as being scary as well as being
beautiful, which is what I really like about art like that.

I have created my first app for my website which is a news post that will be located on the menu bar. 

I wish to create a separate app for photo, events, calendars , services and a contact all on the same site.

But i have just created a separate app call photo, but when i run syncdb nothing happens

I don't know to treat this apps separately on the same database

am using sqlite3 django-1.4.13.

How do i create multiple apps on one site?

Thanks in advance.........

[ngangsia akumbo]

yes

[Mando]

Is there anything in your models for the other apps ex: photo, events, etc... ? syncdb will not do anything with those until you create your models. Besides that you just need to crate your view and a url pointer to it and you should get a response.

can you post the output when you run syncdb?

[ngangsia akumbo]

it is not working thanks bro




i have one more question.
I have created a series of apps for my project. like services, contact, news ,booking app for my hotel site.
i created their individual individual templates for each of them and extended it to the base.html, they are all working fine.

my probe now is how do i feature all of these feature on a single page cos all the apps are opening individually using thei various urls?

How do i place these seperate apps on a single web page ? how do i introduce design patterns on them ?

how do i deploy it so that even a client can views the already finished site from his desk or office, just by typing the name of the site and getting in to the webiste?


thanks for the reply

booking app

[Mario Gudelj]

You mentioned that you haven't completed a tutorial. You should because this stuff is in it. Your questions are too broad and covered in docs and other material on the web. Google is your bro :)
