Re: Django way to design this model

Point 4 above is a little ambiguous:

Can anyone help out?

thanks in advance.

Re: Django way to design this model

[Divesh Gidwani]

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.

It sounds like you've created something with MySQL and imported it to  
a database that's used by Django.  This is not the same as creating  
actual models in your `models.py` file, which is required if you want  
to make use of Django's querying methods.

You need to take this one step at a time.  You seem to be mixing model  
creation (defining the data structure) with writing views and  
templates (the radio button, pagination, criteria).

  1. Design the model[1] to the specification that is your current  
MySQL schema.
  2. Fill the model with some test data[2].
  3. Use the shell to try to retrieve the objects[3] according to the  
criteria you would get from your user through the view.
  4. Move the queries you've created to a view that renders results to  
a template.  If you start doing this by accepting GET parameters and  
displaying the search results through the template, you can get the  
query functionality working and test it by changing the URL before  
creating the actual search form.
  5. Create the search form, probably using `django.forms`[4] and use  
a `ChoiceField(widget=RadioSelect, choices=...)`[5] to present the  
options to users.

If this is all sounding like nonsese to you, it probably means you  
should spend some time reading up on Django's excellent documentation,  
and if you haven't already, finish the tutorial.

(Species 1 & 2). And then you write a view, that will do the searching

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.

Re: Django way to design this model

[urukay]

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)

But more details would help definetely.

Mhh... I don't fully understand your question. Regarding the radio
buttons I think it is in the tutorial.

What search fields are you talking about?

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!
