Hello, I have a Zope background and new to Django and mainly interested how people build large websites with it. Imagine a portal with many kinds of sections: blogs, forums, articles, faqs, etc.
Building such site on Zope platform is more or less straightforward. As underlying storage is an object oriented database, every page is an object. Different sections can exhibit different behavior because they're different objects. Very simple. If you need to build a sitemap or menu or breadcrumbs, you can travel the objects tree and build it. You can attach a new page (section) with arbitrary functionality to any node of the site tree with no effort. On the other hand, Django uses ORM and this means that each site section must be separate application with corresponding database and URL mappings. It seems to me that building large site with different kinds of sections would be harder in Django. There would be code duplication and too much manual work to maintain url mappings and hardcoded hierarchy. I don't want to start Zope vs Django flame. I just want to know what approaches people use for building large sites on Django.
