If a song can only belong to one album, you don't have a many-to-many relationship between songs and albums, you have a many-to-one relationship. In Django, you use ForeignKey to define this (on the Song model). Check out https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/db/models/#many-to-one-relationships if you're curious.

This is the exact problem that Vagrant http://vagrantup.com/ is trying to solve. It uses VirtualBox, which is free. I've just gotten into it myself but so far it's really useful.

You're correct, the syncdb command will not modify tables in your database. What you're looking for is called database migrations, and a lot of (most?) people using Django use something called South for that. Have a look at http://south.aeracode.org/docs/, the tutorial is great. Best regards, Martin Melin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

I'm assuming your question is how you can access the logged-in user's
information in subsequent views and templates. If I've misunderstood
your question please let me know.
You need to make sure that you have the Session and Authentication
middlewares installed. Have a look at this link:
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/auth/#authentication-in-web-requests

I assume that the rest of the admin is working? What version of Django are you using? Have you done anything out of the ordinary in urls.py? The problem seems to be that there is no URL pattern for the password change form, which means the user edit URL pattern will match instead, or that the pattern for password change comes after a broader pattern.

In that case, you don't want to run this only at application start. Generally it is not recommended to do anything at start, because depending on your environment it can be kind of undefined when "application start" actually occurs. "python manage.py runserver" is the so-called development server, and you should not rely on using it in production (when the app is on a server, not your local computer) A common way to solve problems like the one you're describing is to have a standalone script that runs periodically, triggered by cron. For info on writing scripts that have access to your Django project's models etc., have a look at Google's results for "django crontab" or similar. Good luck!

I think it would be bad form for startapp to edit your settings file.

Isn't this simply the matter of running it through the template tag
"safe"? {{ your_output_string|safe }} should output the unicode data
