thanks, the template error went away but adding this code to views.py
still gives search error.
def search(request):
error = False
if 'q' in request.GET:
q = request.GET['q']
if not q:
error = True
else:
books = Book.objects.filter(title__icontains=q)
return render_to_response('search_results.html',
{'books': books, 'query': q})
return render_to_response('search_form.html',
{'error': error})
Which views.py should i add that code to? -- mysite/views.py OR
mysite/books/views.py ??
Should every folder in mysite have the path set? I mean to ask if I should
have "os.path.join(PROJECT_PATH, 'models')," for databse folder and
"os.path.join(PROJECT_PATH, 'picture')," for my jpg images and "
os.path.join(PROJECT_PATH, 'test'), for the test files and
os.path.join(PROJECT_PATH, 'documentation'), for documentation. Maybe this
is a silly question but its not very clear what to do for the path. thanks.
