Hi, I am moving from MT and EE to Django. Having heard a lot of positive stuff from users of Django.
Reading the website, it seems Django is not a readymade CMS but a "framework". More like CodeIgniter from the EE guys. Which is a bit confusing because I don't know the out of box capabilities of Django. (I hate Drupal for its needless geeky complexity and am hoping Django is not like that). My requirements are as follows. I would appreciate if someone can confirm if Django is worth my effort: 1. I don't want to have to use Python. The system itself can use Python and be developed in it, but once installed the interface should be simple. I am good with PHP and HTML. 2. I want one central install of Django. On my root host Apache server. Then I want different domains (which are setup as VirtualHost in my httpd.conf) to be able to use the *same* installation of Django using some directory "Alias" such as http://domain1.com/cms and http://domain2.com/cms and so on. This is similar to EE's "Multisite Manager" or MT's central install: http://snipurl.com/mtmulti2 (and hopefully should be MUCH better than the drivel that goes on in the name of Wordpress MU). Each domain may have a different design for its website, and it may or may not be a blog. 3. I'd like to have some templates for design, kind of like MT's "template sets", which allow for easy XHTML-valid skinning of websites. Does Django allow for something like that? 4. I can define Expression Engine as a CMS by using "custom fields". In each blog, I can define what my content section looks like. Is this possible with Django? 5. Does Django work with postgresql? I'd rather not use MySQL. 6. Where can I see an out of the box output of Django? For example, to start with the very basic thing, can Django produce a simple blog type website without ANY tinkering to the code, and if so, where can I see what this website can look like? I think that's it for now. I hope these are not silly questions. Thanks in advance. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
