Re: Django way to design this model

[Divesh Gidwani]

Point 4 above is a little ambiguous:

>4. Move the queries you've created to a view that renders results to

Can anyone help out?

thanks in advance.

Re: Creating radio button search app

[Divesh Gidwani]

Also, what kind of views do I need? I'm really confused about that
part.

If somebody has snippets of their code that they may have written,
it'll be great to see how its done.

Thanks.

Creating radio button search app

[Divesh Gidwani]

I have this site that I want to design on Django. I have already
created the mysql side of it, and the mysql database is ready. Also,
i
have loaded mysqldb it works too.

This is the site I have to re-design on Django:

http://gomezlab.bme.unc.edu:8080/~kdauria/search.php

so far i have this in my models.py:

class Groups(models.Model):
group_id = models.IntegerField(primary_key=True)
school = models.CharField(max_length=60, db_column='School',
blank=True) # Field name made lowercase.
position = models.CharField(max_length=60, db_column='Position',
blank=True) # Field name made lowercase.
class Meta:
db_table = u'groups'
def __unicode__(self):
return self.position

class Persongroups(models.Model):
pg_id = models.IntegerField(primary_key=True, db_column='pg_ID') #
Field name made lowercase.
person_id = models.IntegerField(null=True, blank=True)
group_id = models.IntegerField(null=True, blank=True)
class Meta:
db_table = u'persongroups'
def __unicode__(self):
return unicode(self.pg_id)

class Persons(models.Model):
person_id = models.IntegerField(primary_key=True)
firstname = models.CharField(max_length=60, db_column='Firstname',
blank=True) # Field name made lowercase.
lastname = models.CharField(max_length=60, db_column='Lastname',
blank=True) # Field name made lowercase.
class Meta:
db_table = u'persons'
def __unicode__(self):
return self.firstname


How can I get those radio button like search fields? How to bring up
the search?

Any suggestions, or resources would be helpful.

Thanks in advance!

Re: Django way to design this model

Thanks so much for all the advice.. Yes, you are right, a lot of it
sounds like rubbish, and i'm just lost! Yes, I am going to finish up
the tutorial today, and read up on the documentation.

Thanks so much for your help. I will surely keep you updated on how
things go!

Much appreciated once again.

Re: Django way to design this model

>Don't know if i understand you right, but you have to create two models
(Species 1 & 2). And then you write a view, that will do the searching
according parameters (Tolerance, pagination, species 1&2)

So I have to create something like the website above on Django. Was
just wondering if there was any easy way of doing this.. I don't fully
understand Django yet, and am not sure if  have to make a form or
what? I'm really confused.

Basically what I want to do is create that type of a site, with only
one species, and then have it such that when you click the radio
button next to one species, it shows you what that species corresponds
to in the mysql database.

Thanks for your help guys.

Django way to design this model

[Divesh Gidwani]

Hey,

Newbie to Django, and have just finished part 2 of the tutorial on the
website, and need to speed up with work in the office.

I have this model that I want to design on Django. I have already
created the mysql side of it, and the mysql database is ready. Also, i
have loaded mysqldb and i think it works.

This is the model I have to follow:

http://gomezlab.bme.unc.edu:8080/~kdauria/search.php

How can I get those radio button like search fields? How to bring up
the search?

Any suggestions, or resources would be helpful.

Thanks in advance!

Re: Admin page set up.

Kamal,

This is of the django project website. I was having similar
difficulties when I typed it up, but if copy and paste from this, and
then match it to your code, you will see minor flaws (from my
experience.)

Hope this helps

Re: Tutorial 2 - Template Dirs

Okay, I have experimented with this for sometime, but for some reason
the site is still showing 'Django Administration' on top. I open it
with Text/Edit and changed the name. What exact files from the Django
directory should i copy to my project one.

Thanks

Re: Tutorial 2 - Template Dirs

Now that I created the templates folder, should I take the base.html
and index.html files and paste them in this folder?

That being done, how can I edit these files? Is there a particular
program to use?

Tutorial 2 - Template Dirs

[Divesh Gidwani]

So I have had a pretty smooth transition so far, but am now stuck when
at the end of tutorial 2, it asks to specify my directory of tempaltes
in the settings.py file under the template_dirs tuple.

Where are the templates i created stored?

Sorry, Newbie at Django, but looking to help out in the near future!

Thanks,
Divesh

Hey Karen,

Thanks a ton for that. I used the activate admin way suggested in
tutorial 2 of the djangoproject website and that worked just great!

I'm sure this Django journey is not going to be very smooth, and i'll
keep having questions along the way, especially since this is my first
ever programming experience. Thanks to people like you, it becomes a
lot easier.

Thanks once again.

Divesh

Activate Admin Tutorial 2

[Divesh Gidwani]

Hey Guys,

I'm new to Django and computer programming and am currently following
a tutorial from this website:

http://www.zabada.com/tutorials/django-quick-start.php

Everything worked until the activate the admin part.

My code to activate the admin in my records/urls.py is as such:

from django.conf.urls.defaults import *

# Uncomment the next two lines to enable the admin:
from django.contrib import admin
admin.autodiscover()

urlpatterns = patterns('',
# Example:
# (r'^djangotest/', include('djangotest.foo.urls')),

# Uncomment the admin/doc line below and add
'django.contrib.admindocs'
# to INSTALLED_APPS to enable admin documentation:
(r'^admin/doc/', include('django.contrib.admindocs.urls')),

# Uncomment the next line to enable the admin:
(r'^admin/', include(divesh.records.urls)),
)

I don't exactly know what i'm doing, so please help.

divesh is my username
records is the app

This is the error i get when i try to runserver and display the page.

Webapp creation: Check box like search to find common ground

[Divesh Gidwani]

Hey Guys,

This is my first post on this group.

I'm a newbie to Django, Python and mysql, and have recently been asked
by my boss to make a web page of a Database.

What I have to do:

Take the tables from the database(which is in mysql) and create a web
application to show which groups belong to which. By that I mean say
we have Two groups in a table : X and Y. In X we have numbers 1 - 20.
In Y we have letters A - D.

Now say 1,5,7 correspond to A and 1,9,15 correspond to B and 2,11,13
correspond to C and so on for D, I want to see what each selection in
Y (when checked in a check box) has which numbers?

Its an ongoing project, and will post more as I come across it.

I hope this benefits other users out there too.

Thanks in advance.

Best,
Divesh A Gidwani
