Application design question
Hey guys & girls, I've just started playing with django, and am not sure of the best way to do something. I've got a basic site, where page a displays model a, page b displays model b, etc. Every model has it's own view function and template, all extending a base template with a header, footer, etc. In every page's footer, I would like to add a parsed RSS feed (just an ul of links). I don't want to repeat code, so I don't feel like calculating it and sending it to every render_to_response that I've got (I'll worry about caching later, by the way). So I wonder if there is a way that I could give every template access to this object without adding it to my views... though this seems like a kind of "global variable" type situation that I'm a little wary of too. How would you proceed? Thanks! -e --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

Question about flatpages + registration required
Sorry for the question, but I can't seem to track down a place to start. I've got a fairly simple django site that includes flatpages. I'm trying to require authentication to view one or two of the flatpages (like I would with a .htaccess, for instance). When I go to the admin, and click the "registration required" checkbox and go to the flatpage url, I'm still able to access the page when logged out. I've included django.contrib.auth and django.contrib.contenttypes as installed apps, as well. Can someone let me know what I'm missing here? Is there something more that I have to do to enable authentication for these pages? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

Many-to-many or a better way/read-only admin after creation.
Hi everyone, I've got few questions that my experience can't answer... I'm not sure the best way to proceed. I'm piggy-backing using the admin interface as a sort-of glorified spreadsheet (accessible to everyone). I've created a model that contains information about drivers licenses. Name, address, license #, state, birthday, etc. No problems there. I also want to track dates that I've last seen these people. So if they come in first on Jan 01, next on Feb 02, and last week on March 03, I can look at a list of those dates. My first thought was to create a new model that just stores dates, and create a many-to-many relationship between users and dates, but since that date model would contain just that... a date, it seems a little strange to me. Is there a better way that I'm not thinking of? The second question is more about the admin interface. Once a user's license info has been taken, there's no reason to change it again... only the date that I've last seen them. Is there a way to make some of the user info read-only after creation (maybe based on user permissions)? That would prevent people from accidentily changing anything but the last_seen date.

how to? : non-required admin fields
Hi. I'm looking to find out how you make form fields in the admin section non-required. I've done a few hours of searching, but haven't found the answer yet. If anyone can let me know where I can find it, it would be much appreciated.

Trying to understand project structure w/apps
Hi guys+gals, I'm new to django, and I'm trying to wrap my head around a project structure. I have a simple case that I'm thinking about, but can't put together a reasonable mental model for it. I've got a site that has a schedule component (events), and a news component (news items). So I can easily create two apps, one for events, and the other for news, and I can create varying ways to display these components. My problem is that when I start thinking about the homepage... where I'd like to display both some events, and some news items. I can't figure out how I would use templates to do such a thing... place both on the same page. Ideally, I would like to have a template that displays an event, and one that displays a news item. But I'm not sure how that would work, with both of them extending the same base template. I could, of course, create one app which has all of these models internal, which would let me easily pull them into a single template, but I would really rather not couple the two distinct models together in both the view and the templates. If someone could give me a few pointers in a direction they'd approach this problem, it would be greatly appreciated. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

Re: manage.py command not found
If you're talking about the line that imports your app, that usually means you have an error in your application code (the views or the models). Try starting the shell and run "import x" manually and see what errors you get. -Eddie On Mar 30, 11:57 am, "jay K." wrote: > hi, Shawn > > I finally managed to get python manage.py shell to work, by commenting > out those INSTALLED_APPS that had an issue with 'import x' > > it turns out that 'import x' was the problem. > > do you have any suggestions to fix 'import x'? > > thanks > > On Wed, Mar 30, 2011 at 12:25 PM, jay K. wrote: > > > > > Hello, Shawn > > > I type python manage.py shell in my project directory and get the following > > error > > > Error: No module named xx > > > regards > > > On Wed, Mar 30, 2011 at 11:52 AM, Shawn Milochik wrote: > > >> Check the permissions on manage.py.
