#django

I have a question, how do you guys make django page pretty? for example, admin page has basic graphic but regular pages don't have anything

iman: I mostly use bootstrap

iman, django does not ship with any designs for user-facing templates; you can search the web for homepage templates

jessamynsmith: fuuu

bootstrap is good to get started quickly.

lots of people hate bootstrap and prefer to write their own css

do you mean use something like this, https://django-bootstrap3.readthedocs.io

you can also use whatever front end framework you like, and have django serve an api

iman: frontend is django-independent. Go on and learn html & css

iman: myself, I just use npm to install whatever packages I want, and reference them

I do use a form package

Tomatosoup-: I know html and css, I am debating to see what opportunities are available for django

this package uses some front-end packages, if you are interested in seeing how I set it up https://github.com/jessamynsmith/eggtimer-server

as Tomatosoup- said you can do whatever front end you want with django

if you had known html css you would not ask such question. Frontend is not dependent on backend

would have not*

jessamynsmith: thanks to share github

I'm getting NOT NULL constraint failed: lovelies_profile.user_id (lovelies = app name) with this view + template: https://dpaste.de/xPkL https://dpaste.de/hh7S

have you ever had to just give in and use raw sql?

fission6, yes

fission6: once or twice, in 5 years of django :)

postgres-specific sql, even

ya, i can not get the ORM to do what I want here

my issue, http://dpaste.com/2901ZQ0 line 52, sql and orm query included

ah I think I found my issue

what about my issue dang`r`us !

fission6, no time

also what about the tone lolwtf

just joking, haha

greetings. I am working with a DateTime, and using |date to output it. I set a format that includes "Z" (timezone). I get an offset in seconds when I expect "EST" or similar.

https://gist.github.com/mekhami/5fd879f6752e8ff... does this seem like a 'normalized' schema for the data set in the gist?

If I have <div id='javascript'><script>somejavascript();</script></div> and then an AJAX action is performed and ('#javascript').html('<script>somenewjavascript();</script>') is executed, will somenewjavascript(); take affect?

or is javascript only processed on page load and on a javascript call?

I want to be able to replace some onclick javascript with other onclick javascript that is called from the initial onclick javascript using AJAX, is this possible without a page reload?

blackcross: I've had issues where I needed to wrap the script inside another element to get jQuery to execute it when I put it in the page.

you know what i never thought of

and this seems obvious in hindsight

but there's totally a use case for web applications that don't need the internet

take your average GUI application that just manages an internal database and that could be a browser-based application instead

for some reason i always thought web apps have to be deployed to web servers and accessible via the www

There's a blogging engine that uses a django application installed locally, and then you publish to a web server when you need to (static files)

schinckel: that reminds me... need someone to write a blog index page generator for graaf :)

hahaha

I'll read that as "oh, if only I had the free time!"

Indeed.

I've been attempting to run Django on a remote vm. A guide says to: Check the permissions for the Django installation files and confirm they're accessible by the user that owns Apache. Could someone explain this please?

steam_bell: well, if you're using Apache/mod_wsgi ... the user it runs as needs to be able to read the source code for your django project

I am using both of those. There are only two relevant users: root and user correct?
