LoL, thank you everyone! please forgive, i was just having a moment with django... you understand, im a real makebelieve hotshot when it comes to php, but now with my freshly inhereted django app, im a moron again... :p
I really been starting at the bottom here, trying to avoid raw sql because i dont want to be a douche and not try understand django.
This app also has the django rest framework in it, which im just discovering now also.
Thank you for replies, and Daniele, the hotshot that makes that one pager is going to get a lot of hits! a LOT! and i think it would help people learn far quicker than reading the docs, because the docs are not designed for beginners
The body of my post is really to suggest the creation of a translator, from SQL to django queryset. Theres alot of these translations in the docs, altho i dont know about anyone else, but i learn more from things that work, than things that don't work, ie, spending 3 hours this morning getting a couple pics onto html... LoL
thank you
also, please can someone comment on something. i notice that im having issues with getting ajax to work. is this because django wants me to use a plugin instead?
