Re: [pinax-users] pinax vs plain django decision

[Alen Balja]

I would definitely suggest that you do both. First roll your own simple solution for account management so that you know how it works. This is very useful to know in any case. Use django-registration and some of the tutorials for it.

http://www.michelepasin.org/techblog/2011/01/14/setting-up-django-registration/

Once you do that, use Pinax to see how to build a large, feature rich application. Last but not least, I think a new version of Pinax should be coming in some time and based on what it's supposed to do it's going to be great. So, maybe there's no point wasting time with current versions of Pinax, which are quite confusing if you want to do some custom development around it.

I plan to build a subdomain for my website that features a variation
on the Django Bookmarks application, plus account management (self-
register, email confirmation, login, logout, manage password and email
address, possibly a Profile). When I say "variation", my application
closely parallels Bookmarks in most ways - in fact the data model
would likely be the same, with the addition of one extra field. I
don't know whether voting/likes is part of the Bookmarks application,
but I would want that as well. The website that resembles closely what
I have in mind is:

http://pinaxtutorial.paolocorti.net/ (except that the objects are not
bookmarks, they're quotes - a text string and author string.

My question is, what would be the most direct approach to implement
this - just take the Django Bookmarks and user registration +
(possibly) voting and (possibly) Profile, and integrate them, or start
with Pinax (as used in the example site) and cut/comment all of the
functionality (most) that I don't want?
