Hi, I am creating a website that lists my states congressional districts based on the US census (i.e. 2000, 2010 and ultimately to update when the 2020 survey is completed). The entire exercise is to track how the representation could possibly change based on the US census.
So far, I have a mock-up for two user inputs: one for 2000 and one for 2010 entering their zip codes on the homepage. The user is prompted to input their zip code (for each census year) in order to see their representative for 2000 and 2010 (basically pulling from a db to show the results) and the results show on the results page (new tab). My confusion: 1. Should I combine the DB's to "respond" to the users input or keep DB's (2000, 2010) separate? 2. I understand how to create models and I understand how to create views, but I am confused on creating the form (specifically "GET" vs "POST". 3. Is POST what the user inputs? If so, how do I "search through the existing DB"? 4. I have reviewed the form docs within Django but still am lost. Please help. As you suspected, I am new to Django but want to "get over this hump". I feel I am reaching too far and the answer is in front of my face. My github is: https://github.com/NinaMaxberry/Cornerstone-Project. Once you visit, you will see, I've tried a lot of options. Any help would be greatly appreciated. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
