Django1.3 tutorial内容概要小记

Tutorial 1:

Set up environment

Modify proj/settings.py proj/urls.py

Show django admin site

Python manage.py startapp app_name

Modify proj/app_name/models.py

Tutorial 2:

Show app_name in admin site(create admin.py in proj/app_name/)

Custom the admin form(proj/app_name/admin.py)

Customize the admin change list(list_display, list_filter, search_fields, date_hierarchy)

Customize the admin look and feel(Use django template system, create proj/templates/admin/)

Introduce template language {% tags %} {{ variables }} {{ foo | bar }} {% block %}

Tutorial 3:

Design URLs(regular expression, Python callback function [, optional dictionary])

Write views(callback functions when you type url), you can treat views.py as controllers in MVC

from django.shortcuts import render_to_response, get_object_or_404, get_list_or_404

404 error page and 500 error page: from django.conf.urls.defaults import *, use default error page is recommended, but you also can create your own error page in template root dir

Simplify and decouple the URLconfs

Tutorial 4:

Code-shuffle: Why? It intentionally ensure you must understand the basic django knowledge, then turn your face to advanced solutions.

Use generic views for less code:Convert URLconf; Delete some codes of views; Fix up URL handling for new views
