Beginner problem linking pages from homepage?
Missing something basic here even after scouring web and running thru
online tut a few times.
Started a project 'mysite' and added twitter bootstrap then created a
static homepage "index.html' to act as a simple launchpad to other more
information & feature laden pages. Used direct_to_template to access the
first page and it renders fine under the development server and a
virtualenv (the latter is in the path). The homepage has a number of hrefs
to the other pages which I filled in with './foo1', './foo2', etc.
Using the hello function placed in ~/.../mysite/mysite/views.py, I've tried
to branch off the main page as such in urls.py (goal is /homepage/foo1).
*Note the extra code required in the file isn't represented here.
from mysite.views import hello
...
urlpatterns = patterns('',
url(r'^foo1$', hello),
url(r'^foo2$', hello),
url(r'^foo3$', hello),
url(r'^foo4$', hello),
)
have also tried:
urlpatterns = patterns('homepage',
url(r'^foo1$', hello),
url(r'^foo2$', hello),
url(r'^foo3$', hello),
url(r'^foo4$', hello),
)
This causes the site to break with a 404 error even though I think I am
supplying a correct regex and a toy function. I suspect there is something
with the mysite views.py not being found but not sure. I have tried to
more explicitly reference the views.py file with mysite.views.py trials.
I am not even sure if philosophically this is considered a good practice of
django. Thanks in advance for your assistance. V.

Re: Beginner problem linking pages from homepage?
Thank you for the timely advice. Before I move my "base/homepage" site to
its own app dir, thought I would give it another pass using your changes.
Verified 'mysite.urls' in settings.py, added 'mysite' to the urlpatterns
arg and put quotes around the hello func. I have had debugging from the
outset of installation. views.py in the mysite/mysite dir is simply:
def hello(request):
return HttpResponse('Hello World!')
The 404 error which comes up is:
Page not found (404) Request Method: GET Request URL:
http://192.168.1.126:8000/homepage/foo1
Using the URLconf defined in mysite.urls, Django tried these URL patterns,
in this order:
1. ^foo1$
2. ^foo2$
3. ^foo3$
4. ^foo4$
The current URL, homepage/foo1, didn't match any of these.
You're seeing this error because you have DEBUG = True in your Django
settings file. Change that to False, and Django will display a standard 404
page. Could be a permissions thing or some subtle backslashes nuance I
haven't picked up on yet?
Thanks again. V.

Re: Beginner problem linking pages from homepage?
Addendum: the views.py also has the required 'from django.foo import" lines
naturally.

Re: Beginner problem linking pages from homepage?
Thanks all. Just getting up to speed on regex, need to re-read some
chapters. Changing these to the suggested above, fixing the mismatched
from "mysite.views import hello" by importing * in the urls.py and removing
the quotes around the func got me to my targeted basic site. Best, V.

django<-->twitter bootstrap philosophy
Been thru the Django manual, bootstrap website instructions and other resources a few times so have working understanding of MVC structure. However, the incorporation of bootstrap throwing me off a little. Working on a ecommerce idea, for now plan is to create homepage (using bootstrap) as a launchpad to other pages (using bootstrap) providing services for two different target audiences (producers and consumers of service). Once at the second site(?), this is where the MVC comes in for login/registration/EULA agreements/data io, etc. Is bootstrap considered to be substitute template for parts of the website then the django templating system takes up the rest? Any trailheads for these concepts would be much appreciated. TIA, V. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

Re: django<-->twitter bootstrap philosophy
Yes, thanks. Templating remains the last piece of the puzzle I have yet to really work on and it wasn't clear how different it was from a framework. Appreciate your explanation. V.

Re: Help implement CSS into Django!!!!
Running a dev server, is the following required or not--> "manage.py collectstatic"? The official docs would indicate no and there is too much mis-information floating around so it is hard to verify one way or the other for a noob. Django 1.4 would appear to be able to find static files in dev mode and only in an external production setup is the command required. TIA, V.

Simple Static Content Site on Heroku?
Fairly new to the framework and have been reading a ton of material. While I have found a couple of great git repos using Bootstrap with Django, I haven't found too many examples of dead simple sites other than some single page blogs. I am working on an informational site with at most 5 pages and potentially a blog down the road for a customer (thinking S3, compressor, boto, etc. usage within). Do I even need to incorporate the PostgreSQL RDBMS at this juncture or should I set it up for future proofing purposes? Django is most likely too feature packed for such a rudimentary project, yet using it is fulfilling a secondary role of giving me a learning stepping stone to a few more projects with greater complexity. So I am not looking for other tools to use, just some mention of what I can safely do at this point (elimination wise) and still have a robust, well designed, responsive offering.

Should add running the normal django-storages, boto setup for serving
