Re: how to create webpage

[Sol Chikuse]

Hi Dachawar.

As much as Django, which is a web framework is designed to simplify your 
web development life, you will need to build the basic understanding of how 
it works. 
The best way to do this is to go through the Django  
documentation. Django has Tutorials 
 that take you by the hand 
through a series of steps to create a Web application including web pages. 
You need to 
start here if you’re new to Django or Web application development. If you 
are patient enough, you will never go wrong and you will find Django code 
very familiar to Python code. This is how I and most of Django developers 
started and continue to build on our knowledge and skills.

Re: Tutorial writing views help

[Sol Chikuse]

Hi Kareem,

Regarding the 404 page error, you do not have to put a dot (.) at the end 
of your URL. Django does not have such kind of a pattern match in your 
urls. *127.0.0.1:8000/polls/  *is the correct 
URL. Having said that, how does your index template look like? It might be 
that you are getting a blank page because you are not declaring your 
variables correctly in the template itself. Meaning it might not be 
specifically a Django back-end error but a front-end html (template) error. 
Have a look at your template variables and tags and see if your data is 
correctly being presented to the template. You will need some code like:

{% if latest_question_list %}
{% for question in latest_question_list %}

 Have a look at the template documentation 
 
for details.

Re: Tutorial writing views help

[Sol Chikuse]

Hi Kareem,

In your template you have your code as: 

{% for question in latest_question %}

According to your context dictionary in your index view, the above template 
code should be:

{% for question in latest_question_list %}

And then you should go to the url 127.0.0.1:8000/polls/

Regards.

Re: how can i create web app like twitter with django

[Sol Chikuse]

Hi there,

Creating a web app like twitter is no easy task especially for someone with 
a little idea of Django. So before you attempt to develop a clone of such a 
gigantic project you should immense yourself in getting to know Django, 
work on some small projects, taking small baby steps *(Don't worry, they 
will get you there)*.  As you code along, you will get to know the software 
(stack) that is required to build such kind of applications because Django 
is not the only thing you will need to learn. There are softwares that will 
make your web app look nice and beautiful like html/css/bootstrap, and 
others like javascript/jquery to add dynamic content etc. There is so much 
going on with Twitter on both the front and back end that for a programming 
newbie you will find quite challenging to tackle. For a beginner like 
yourself, I am surprised you were given such kind of a project at school.

Have a look at *this * to 
get you started and remember: Rome was not built in a day.

Regards

Re: Can only get "manage.py runserver" if I use python3 instead of python

[Sol Chikuse]

Hi Ja,

Just to add to what Antonis said, you can also create virtual environments 
with Python3 using the below code:

*python3 -m venv your_virtual_dir_name*

For instance to create a virtual directory with name *mysite* you will have 
to type:


*python3 -m venv mysite*


And then you can install django and other packages in that environment. You 
will have to activate it first just like with virtualenv.

Happy Coding!
