i finally learned how to setup and extend django custom user model with django admin :D

bye friends see you tomorrow

Hi, I'm quite new to programming. Somehow I went for react for frontend and django for backend, truly fascinating. What I'm wandering is if there are any CMS'es if I come to decision to try freelancing...

wondering* that is

@alrondo now that you've started with django + react I think you'd be happier sticking with those. You can freelance with just those 2 under your belt. Try to avoid the insanity of keeping up with web development trends. There are lots of CMS'. Avoid, deflect and distract from all of them. Save yourself. Get out while you can.

@bmjh thanks, I really appreciate that input of yours

@alrondo lol do you!?!? I love working with django, and python generally. Everything else can go die in a fire, tbqh. Ruby is cool. Actually have a look at the wagtail CMS - code and docs are very nice for it.

@bmjh will do just now

thanks alot btw

There is a nice demo app for Wagtail - bakery

clone that and play with it

@cnk will do that, thanks

looks like shit tho, pardon my tongue

by that I mean not end-user friendly

There has been some talk about how to put a drag and drop editing interface onto Wagtail - a la Squarespace. It might happen

guess nothing like that will ever happen

anyways, django and react seems to be suitable cobination only for serious applications anyways

sure it will. i believe in the wagtail devs.

otherwise client could just jus any of the services available out there

jus=use

A lot of projects that are very custom code still end up needing a CMS for the 'static pages' but you may find that something lighter weight does an OK job for that

but anyone willing to pay for React development is probably picky about their UI so may not like any of the out of the box solutions in the Django eco system

cnk good point

wagtail is not nice

It is horrible

What is your objection to it mcspud?

I think its internal structure makes baby kitten-angels cry

It has a super nice admin login though

kittens are hellspawn anyway

not the angel versions

They're ok

murder floof <3

xD

hi all, im hittin a really odd problem with django caching, using memcached, both manage.py runserver and gunicorn complain :

(stack trace (load middleware)) results in django. core .cache invalid Cache Backend Error: could not find config for "sitename" in settings.CACHES

I've searched all over, but no idea.

so when you use ./manage.py shell, what do you have in settings.CACHES?

or will manage.py not give you a shell?

yah, I tried manage.py shell, and i took a look at settings.CACHES, looks like it's just the default in their

that's why I couldn't understand what's going on. I've got something misconfigured, i just can't figure out what

anything if you grep your project for sitename?

interesting, i removed some of the cache alias settings and now im getting a 'memcache' module not found error out of memcached.py in django core cache backends

Sorry. No insight and it's time for me to head home

good luck
