A Django Primer - Creating a Simple Blog Application

Started by Daniel Ha · 1 year ago

Preface

A couple of months ago, Daniel and I began drafting ideas for a new website. When it came down to choosing a language to begin our work, we had a tough decision to make. We both traditionally stuck to PHP for web development in the past, but we wanted to use a web […] ... Continue reading »

    How do I get my DJango to redirect the / directory. I've setup various rules for / but cannot get it to work

    How do I get Django to redirect the / directory. Ive set up the URL's in the project as well as app directory

    The error is as follows.
    Using the URLconf defined in mproject.urls, Django tried these URL patterns, in this order:

    1. ^foo/
    2. ^/
    3. ^bar/

    The current URL, , didn't match any of these.

    Use the regular expression r'^$' to match /

    Great tutorial. I've been looking around for something simple and well-explained to get my feet wet with Django. This was perfect; not too much, but not an overly-simplistic "helloworld" either. I was a developer on the Prado framework project some time ago. Developers often reason that if a framework is sound and feature rich users will come. But, I learned a long time ago that it is actually documentation that keeps them interested in learning. Now, I actually am looking forward to learning more about Django. Good work!

    nice tutorial - thanks for taking the time to post it.

    one question about a possible correction. should the line:

    first_post.date = datetime.now

    be

    first_post.date = datetime.now()

    ?

    Have you customize the script? By reading datetime.now(), it will be referred to a function. Unless you have a function declared, youu will not be using datetime.now()

    Hi,

    I like this django tutorial! Though simple, it covers some of the things that other tutorial didn't! Wish there's more to come.

    I have a doubt... if django is powerfull, and you made an easy and simple blog application, why you still using wordpress for your blog?

    I’ve got an Amazon gift certificate burning holes in my pocket,
    and I want to get the most bang for my buck.

    Enter the Secret Amazon Web Pages:

    http://tinyurl.com/38sojf

    This is where you’re going to find the "latest sales, rebates, and limited-time offers" from
    Amazon, and you can score some pretty deep discounts if you’re a savvy shopper.

    Next, there’s the special Sale link. This is open every Friday, and ONLY on Fridays.

    You can find the same good discounts here as you would in hidden Deals, although some
    Fridays you can really get lucky and make off like an Amazon bandit - I’ve seen discounts
    there as low as 75% off sticker price.

    The "Controller" from MVC is also there, somehow at least. It's the urls.py that controls which view is to be used.

    Thanks for the tutorial, this really helped me understand and appreciate the basic architecture of a django site.

    One note, I think this caused a warning, shown after performing first_post.save():
    first_post.date = datetime.now
    Should probably be:
    first_post.date = datetime.now()

    I guess

    should be
    first_post.date = datetime.now()

    Can you fix that?

    Note that maxlength has been changed to max_length, so if you are getting this error:

    TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'maxlength'

    then you need to change the line in models.py to:

    title = models.CharField(max_length=100)

    In case anyone wants to know, some stuff in this tutorial are pretty out of date; and that's expected in a 2 year old post.

    But I still found this very helpful, mainly because gave me an 'objective'. And I still followed the tutorial, as much of it still applies. When I ran into errors or problems, I just headed over to http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/intro to hunt down the more up-2-date methods of doing things (for example, I had problems implementing the 'admin class' column sorting).

    So, THANKS! :)
