Django B_project available on gitHub
UPDATE 2021-10-21: the code and project resources mentioned in this post have been archived
I've put together and shared on GitHub a barebones project containing all the files needed to get started with a Django website. Essentially, this is a clean file structure you can use to get started with Django quickly. The idea is that after downloading this, you just have to change a couple of names (see the README file for more details), and there you go—you have a complete Django project that runs and can be customized.
The code is here: bitbucket.org/magicrebirth/django_bproject. Feel free to download or fork it as you like!
Currently, the B_project is set up to work with Django 1.3 and has a few 'batteries' included (i.e., commonly used apps):
- MPTT: Utilities for implementing a modified pre-order traversal tree in Django
- REGISTRATION: A user-registration application for Django
- DJANGO EXTENSIONS: Global custom management extensions for the Django Framework
- PICKLEFIELD: An implementation of a pickled object field
The other things included in the framework are:
- a
settings.pyfile that calls localized settings specifications depending on parameters (eg dev server or live one) - a bunch of generic python utilities
- a few 'enhanced' model classes
- all that is needed for working with trees in the admin (as discussed here: Django admin and MPTT)
- a javascript autocomplete framework, integrated in the admin (as discussed here: Autocomplete in Django)
- some basic templates and templatetags
Enjoy!
