Hi Chris, Why pick one over the other? Two potential reasons spring to mind: 1) Foreign keys aren't free, so if you're going to be using the extra data field a lot, you can save yourself some database load (and some syntactic cleanliness). BUT 2) If you get in the habit of just putting everyt

An even better solution is to always work in a virtualenv: that way you can easily try out new packages, and not worry about conflicts. Matt. On Thursday, October 4, 2012 10:30:06 PM UTC+9:30, Ramiro Morales wrote: > > I think so. The usual reason for the problem you are experiencing is a > pre

Hi I have created a Mixin that overrides just the get_form method, to be used with a class that inherits from CreateView. The Mixin inherits from object. In my view, when I include CreateView and my mixin in that order, the mixin code doesn't get executed. But when I swap the order of inheritin

You can use `fixtures` for this purpose! You can have several of them to have exactly the data you need for a test. Have a look there: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/testing/#django.test.TestCase.fixtures Cheers, Thomas 2012/10/4 Daniele Procida > I have started writing my firs

Micah, Here's a summary of how staticfiles works: 1. You place your static files, which are under version control, in app/static folders, or any directory defined in STATICFILES_DIRS. This is configurable, and works very similarly to how templates are placed in a project. The important thing t

Is there some way to use manage.py to create a table and load data into it (where the data is contained in the models.py)? I have a client that wants to have some data contained in the code (so it's part of the code repository), and when they do the initial syncdb, have that data loaded into one o

I think so. The usual reason for the problem you are experiencing is a previous installation of Django on top of which the one you are trying to use was installed without unintalling the older one first *. So, the recommended action in such cases is to ensure you start with a clean slate buy remov
