Hi guys, Just taking my first steps with Django and in fact web frameworks in general. I understand that in a Django based CMS a URL is passed via a variable in urls.py which then locates a row in a database containing the html code to send to a template. What I want to know is, is this done with most types of web application or do a lot of programmers create static pages inside views.py as well?
I'm actually about to embark on a web application which will consist of about 200 different page views and 12 different templates, all performing some kind of in depth function. Do I try and integrate my web app with a Django CMS or am I being an idiot if I create each of these pages in views.py? I can't find any information on best practices with Django and not sure where to start. Secondly. As I mentioned in the first paragraph I understand that the URL gets handled in urls.py and the actual URL of a page is stored in a database row with it's content. How do I capture a URL in urls.py, pass it to a view function and grab the info from the related database row without using FlatPages? Sorry if the second question's answer is a bit long but I don't seem to be able to grasp the concept of having a single view function which can grab a URL. Not sure how the URL gets to the function. Many, many thanks in advance if anybody can actually understand what I'm asking. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
