Re: How to design a new website? (about apps)

[Parag Shah]

If the extra user information will be needed by other apps (forum and poll,
etc) then it should be a separate app such that other apps can depend on it
(I do not know if there is a formal way in Django to specify such a
dependency) The image upload form and browser can be one app, and the forum
can (as you mentioned) be a separate app as well.

I am somewhat new to Django as well, so these suggestions are from my
limited knowledge of Django design.

if in doubt, do a separate app.  each app should handle one specific
job. if it doesn't go in the same sentence, it's a different app.

check the djangoCon videos on youtube, there's a lot of insights on
this (don't remember who gave that talk, and i can't access youtube
from work)

How to design a new website? (about apps)

[Léon Dignòn]

Ok, I have finished the tutorials and learned a lot about Django. I
created a polls application and tuned the admin site, etc.

Now I want to continue in a bigger application. After some successful
coding I ran into a big problem not covered by any piece of
documentation out there:

1. Do I need apps and
2. when to create them?


I plan to create a site where users can basically upload specific
images, rate images of other users and -if they like - to download
them. Any user should have a profile with additional information.
Images are categorized and users can browse them and filter them.
Maybe in future other functions like a forum or stuff will follow.

Well, the forum is, just like the poll, an application, because it is
not a basic function but a separate and autonomous function. But the
additional user information and the upload form and the image browser
are basic functions which interact with each other little more than
poll and forum.

I am highly confused …

These questions I would love to see answered:
- Do I create an app for the additional user information, or do I
create a model.py in the site root because it's a main functionality?
- Do I create an app for the image upload and browser, or do I create
a model.py in the site root because it's a main functionality?
