Re: Is Django the right tool for the job?

It sure does. I can see in my minds eye what I want to create. Now I
just have to learn how to write it. I am eagerly awaiting the release
of each chapter of the DjangoBook.

Is Django the right tool to use?

2006-11-04 Thread elake

I am working with a small team to create a new web site for our church.
We have found a site (http://www.prestonwood.org) that we would like to
use as a model and I am wondering if django is the right tool for the
job. I looked at other django powered sites (http://www.ljworld.com/,
http://www.lawrence.com/) and they have some of the same features. What
I am wanting to do is give login access to the pastors and other
leaders to update the pages that go with their ministries.

OK, so now to the questions (assuming that django is the right tool to
use).

1. Would it be best to do this all as one app or a separate app for
each page?
2. Should there be one database instance or multiple (one for each
page/app)?
3. Is the admin page the tool to use for the posters to use to update
the site?

I am still very new to django and I know that these questions may not
be the easiest to answer but any help that you could provide would be
great. I want to do this right the first time if at all possible.

Thanks.

Thanks. Thats what I thought. I think that we are going to put up a
site that is all from a WYSIWYG and in the background I am going to
work on a Django powered site. Would you recommend Postgres over MySQL
or the other way around?

Whitespace in posts

2006-06-09 Thread elake

I have gone through the tutorial on IBM's site and I am really liking
django. The question that I have is how do I put whitespace into posts
that are made using the admin interface?

I want to be able to type a line, hit enter a few times, then type more
and have the blank space between the lines.
