newbie: concept question
Hi all, I looked for FAQ, but I couldn't find any. Here's my question. I've been working through the tutorials. I've taken a community college class on Python. So, I have some background there. I've gotten Django installed and working. So far, I've used sqlite3. Here's the question: If you have an MySql database that is already establised with data, etc, how do you get Django to set up the abstraction of the db, so that you can access the data. I've worked with the tutorials where you use Django to create the database. You use syncdb command to setup the "abstraction" of the data. How do you do it the other direction? Thanks for all your help. Steve -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group. To post to this group, send email to django-us...@googlegroups.com.

newbie question: @login_required, can't get it to work
Hi All, I'm a newbie. I would like to use the @login_required decorator, but I don't want to redirect to the standard default accounts/login. I would like to redirect to '/login/' The book says add the following to the end of the settings.py file.: import django.contrib.auth django.contrib.auth.LOGIN_URL = '/login/' The server says: GET /accounts/login/?login/=/save/ HTTP/1.1 404 2273 I assume that it is going the path: /account/login/login Any help would be appreciated!

Re: newbie question: @login_required, can't get it to work
Thank you sooo much. That was great. I was using a book base on Django .96. I couldn't fully understand the online documentation. You saved me a great deal of time.
