Lots of django questions

[Derek Riemer]

Hi guys,
A few questions here.

First of all,

0.
Woopsi, I accidentally pushed my secret key to a public github multiple times (I must be an idiot Lol). Can I simply just change this key to a random string like those on https://www.grc.com/passwords.htm? Luckilly I never really did anything with django with this app where the secret key matters.

2. How is the best way to generate menus?
I have pages such as these.

My menu below this line.
---------------------------
Personal website
Random pieces of software.
College/academic portfolio.
Resume
...

and under some of these I have things like
software one currently has a weather app,
the personal website will have
    Home,
    About Me,
    Contact me form,
    ...

..., ...

Is there an already built django solution to this problem? I don't want to have to have repetative pages on each level of my menus, and have a set of template inheritance schemes already set up in my app. I already have a base.htm which my homepage, and 3 other pages already inherit from and that page specifies css styles and custom javascript.

3. Is it safe to put {{csrf_token}} in my app in the page since the cookie isn't there always?
Can I tell python to send the cookie but not insert the token into the dom?

4. What type of django blogs exist? I kind of want to keep my blog data private, and don't know if I should migrate my current blog to wordpress from blogger, or just role something with django.

0. Yep, just delete your secret key and get a new one - wont affect anything negatively.

2. I put things like menus into the base.html template. It means a little bit of hand coding once, but only once.

How to do it depends on your design. I personally am terrible at design, so using bootstrap makes it dead easy. In bootstrap it is called a navbar: http://getbootstrap.com/components/#navbar

3. I've only ever used {{csrf_token}} in forms. If you don't have one in a form, I think it fails. Don't need it in other pages to my knowledge.

4. Django Packages is the best repo of django apps around: https://www.djangopackages.com/ I have recently installed Zinnia. It was dead easy and works well. Depends on what you need.
