1. The answer to your model question is "either way". If you combine different types into 1 model you will need a new field called "type" or something similar. This "may" be a good idea if you think you may be adding new types in the future. To be consistent though, it "may" be better to have a model for each type. The correct answer to this decision will only be known in time as you start to implement different parts of your site. 2. Django will add an "id" field to each of your tables which will be the primary key (this is the default behavior but can be changed). The names of your URL's are defined in the URL dispatcher, see http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/http/urls/ Regards, Ray Smith http://RaymondSmith.com P.S. I'm just a newbie as well so I "may" not be 100% correct :) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
