Re: ImportError cannot import name DetailView

That could be it. I downloaded the latest official version, 1.2.4.  I
totally overlooked that comment at the top.

ImportError cannot import name DetailView

[Anthony Pearce]

While completing "Writing your first Django app, part 4", I ran into
an error. I have almost completed the online tutorial, but using the
code verbatum, I get this error. I even went as far as to cut and
paste the code, rather than typing it as I usually do, just in case I
made a simple error I could not see.

Exception Location: C:\DjangoProjects\mysite\polls\urls.py in
, line 2

Copy of line 2 of urls.py. from django.views.generic import
DetailView, ListView

Anyone have any ideas?

Re: Templates Directory Question

[Anthony Pearce]

Now I feel stupid. That intelligent comment flew right over my head.
I'm not sure yet where apache is falling in here yet, nor do I know
what htdocs is.

I should mention I'm using Windows 7 also, in case any terminology is
based on another OS.

Templates Directory Question

[Anthony Pearce]

In Tutorial 2, I was instructed to make a templates directory. It is
located at:
 C:\DjangoProjects\mysite\templates

Now again in Tutorial 3, section "Write views that actually do
something", I am given the instructions:
  create a directory, somewhere on your filesystem, whose
contents Django can access. (Django runs as whatever user your server
runs.) Don't put them under your document root.


I think the document who's root I cannot put them under is the
views.py document, as that's what I had been editing.  It is located
at:
 C:\DjangoProjects\mysite\polls\views.py

I guess my question is, where is the best place for this new templates
directory?  Can I simply make a subdirectory in the templates
directory for the views.py template?  For example, like this:
 C:\DjangoProjects\mysite\templates\views\

Sorry for a question with likely a quite obvious solution, but thanks
again for any assistance.

Re: Customize the admin look and feel

[Anthony Pearce]

That has worked. Puzzling to me though since we left off the admin
directory in TEMPLATE_DIRS

None the less, thank you very much. I will continue with the tutorial
and see how much farther I can get.

Re: Customize the admin look and feel

[Anthony Pearce]

TYVM for your response. My first reply does not show, so hopefully I'm
not double posting.

This is what I have so far:

TEMPLATE_DIRS   "C:/DjangoProjects/mysite/mytemplates/"
base_site.html location   C:\DjangoProjects\mysite\mytemplates

This is what base_site.html reads.
{% extends "admin/base.html" %}
{% load i18n %}
{% block title %}{{ title }} | {% trans 'Django site admin' %}{%
endblock %}
{% block branding %}
{% trans 'Django Administration' %}
{% endblock %}
{% block nav-global %}{% endblock %}

If this supposed to help me change the appearance?  I don't see how to
change anything here.

Re: Customize the admin look and feel

[Anthony Pearce]

OK, this is  now what I have:

Project location. C:\DjangoProjects\mysite\
base_site.html locationC:\DjangoProjects\mysite\templates
\base_site.html
TEMPLATE_DIRS reads "C:/DjangoProjects/mysite/templates/"

There are no apparent errors, but I also do not see how this helps
me.

base_site.html reads as follows:

{% extends "admin/base.html" %}
{% load i18n %}
{% block title %}{{ title }} | {% trans 'Django site admin' %}{%
endblock %}
{% block branding %}
{% trans 'Django Administration' %}
{% endblock %}
{% block nav-global %}{% endblock %}

What am I supposed to do with this to change the appearance?

btw, tyvm for your response  :)

Re: Customize the admin look and feel

[Anthony Pearce]

"DjangoProjects/mysite/mytemplates/admin/"  but I created the
"mytemplates" and "admin" directories for this purpose.

What exactly is this supposed to do for me anyway? I thought it would
allow me to edit the "Django administration" bar at the top, but I
can't as of yet.

Customize the admin look and feel

[Anthony Pearce]

I have made it to the "Writing your first Django app, part 2" page
down to "Customize the admin look and feel", at the bottom.  I'm stuck
with this paragraph..

Now copy the template admin/base_site.html from within the default
Django admin template directory in the source code of Django itself
(django/contrib/admin/templates) into an admin subdirectory of
whichever directory you're using in TEMPLATE_DIRS. For example, if
your TEMPLATE_DIRS includes "/home/my_username/mytemplates", as above,
then copy django/contrib/admin/templates/admin/base_site.html to /home/
my_username/mytemplates/admin/base_site.html. Don't forget that admin
subdirectory.

I found the "base_site" at C:/Django-1.2.4/django/contrib/admin/
templates/admin/base_site.html.

I have no idea where this is supposed to be copied and pasted to.

Any help please?

Quote from "Writing your first Django app, part 1":

>From the command line, cd into a directory where you’d like to store

This will create a mysite directory in your current directory.

Put your code in some directory outside of the document root, such as /
home/mycode.


OK, please explain where /hom/mycode should be located.  Is it
directly on the C:, or like I have a www folder for playing with html,
or within the Python directory somewhere?   Sorry, but I'm looking at
