It's all very bitty, and unpicking the automagic stuff in such a way that I can adapt it to my needs seems rather daunting. However, the book you refer to above seems to have some examples that are more at my level. FWIW, I used PHP/MySQL to create a bespoke application for a client. I've now been asked to do another site, and I'd love to use Python as the syntax is much nicer than PHP. Django seems to be the obvious place to start, but as mentioned above I'm struggling a little. With PHP I was able to write a custom session handler two weeks after getting started. With Django, I'm still trying to work out with which directory I should put my files in. Eg, the tutorial mentions 'polls/ detail.html'. Does it mean 'mysite/pools/details.html', or 'templates/ polls/details.html'. I assumed the later, eventually tried both, but still could not make it work. As I don't really understand what it going on, I can't begin to fix it. Anyway - I will persevere, and your link above looks very useful. Thanks, Nick -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
