I'm doing a bit of volunteer work right now to help my community's "Residents Association" put together a website.
The desire so far, would be something along the lines of a newspaper/TV station website (ala ljworld.com), but without as many fancy features. The association currently puts out a season newsletter (PDFs here http://www.brianmchattie.ca/awwca/intro.htm). What I'd really like is for the editors of the newsletter to just be able to use the Admin of a Django site to add stories to the new website. I don't want all content to have to come through me before going up on the site. So what I'm looking for, is any tips or suggestions people have on setting up models such that that will be feasible and flexible. If possible, I don't want my users to have to learn any HTML. I would like them to be able to put a picture or two with the story, if they want. So a basic model might be something like: class Article(models.Model): title = ... slug = ... author = ... body = ... lead_in_picture = models.ImageField(... inline_left_picture = models.ImageField(... inline_right_picture = models.ImageField(... So that would give some basic options to them. Does that seem a reasonable way to go? It feels a bit restricting to me. Adrian/Jacob/Jeff/etc.: If you're allowed to divulge it, how do you guys get custom content into the occasional story that needs it? This, for example: http://www2.ljworld.com/news/2006/jun/08/gala_aims_raise_museum_funds/?city_local You've got a Google map there. Obviously the reporter of the story didn't put that JavaScript in (or maybe they did, and you have the world's most technically advanced reporters), and I'm guessing you don't write a new template for each story. So when someone comes up with an idea for something like that, do you just put another conditional into the generic template and go from there? Thanks in advance for any suggestions anyone might have.
