Weird issue with a form

I've been scratching my head over this one. I have a user registration form but when I submit data on it and it always returns a 404 (it wants to go to the /users/accounts/ URL) but there are no URLs there. It initially went to /user/ but I created the view it was looking for but it just then m

Registration form in template

I have a register user template with a form which works well but I have a problem where there is lots of other text next to the form elements such as password length and what characters need to go in a password. Is their a reasonable way to hide that text or do I need to do it with JavaScript?

Unit test to make sure correct template is returned from a specific URL?

I can write a unit test which checks say the title on a page and compares it to a string but that is really prone to breakage. What I want to do instead is to check that the template that is returned by the URL is the same one that is expected in the unit test. Is there an easy way to do this?

Splitting views.py and urls.py into a directory rather than single files

Hi, I have an app which has a lot of views and URLs and keeping them in just one file makes it really hard to manage because it is so long. I'd like to make a views and URLs folder which will allow me to break up views and URLs into different categories but I'm not sure what the best way to go

UpdateView and DeleteView

I want to make sure that the only people who can update and delete an object are either superusers or the person that originally created them but I'm not sure how to go about doing it. Can someone point me in the right direction? I'm not sure which method(s) to override. Thank you. -- You rec

Hi, I want to make a blogging platform and have a question about organising the project. With my blog, I'll have the blog in one Django app and then have something like a forum in another app, along with additional functions in other apps. Also, I'd like to have a single-user system that uses
