I guess what I'm am trying say is that I was under the impression that when you go to a URL, a view is called. And only one view can be called per URL. And that view needs to serve all of the data for that page. It seems like there is a way to have multiple views being rendered simultaneously. Is i

As your site gets bigger, as mine does, you can choose to split up your views over multiple .py files based on e.g. functional sections. I recently created a file named views_admin.py. Following the Django docs, I also named files based on contents. So a mydecorators.py, etc ( the my.. prefix is to

I have a site that has quite a few Django based pages plus login etc. and I certainly had to structure the code over multiple modules. I suggest that you do both a top-down and a bottom-up design (actually, iterate between these). Start with a top-down view which is the urls - list those and plan

Django architecture question

2010-06-14 Thread Joel Klabo
I am working on a simple site right now and the views are pretty easy. Usually just iterate a loop of objects. But, I am trying to figure out how a website with all different kinds of data, including a sign in form, is setup in django. Is that all in one big view? Or, is there some way to combine t
