Fedora 36 : Install django-hypergen and test it.

Today I test the last version of python version 3.11.0a7 with the Django-hypergen example.

The install process can be found on the GitHub page project.

You can see the full tutorial here.

Fedora 35 : Testing the new Django web framework version 4.0.1 with channels.

Today I tested in Fedora 35 the new version 4.0.1 of the Django framework and the channels package.

Channels augments Django to bring WebSocket, long-poll HTTP, task offloading, and other async support to your code, using familiar Django design patterns and a flexible underlying framework that lets you not only customize behaviors but also write support for your own protocols and needs. see the GitHub website.

The entire tutorial can be viewed on my blog about python programming language.

The result shows that it works with the admin webpage:

Fedora 28 : Integrate tinymce editor with Fedora and Django.

This is a raw tutorial about how to integrate the python module named django-tinymce with a Django project.
I used the raw word because you need to have a working Django project into your Fedora distro.
You can see my old tutorial about Django to see how to build a Django project.
About this python module, you can read more here.
The django-tinymce is a Django application that contains a widget to render a form field as a TinyMCE editor.
I have a project named trydjango with a Django application named products into my django folder.
I used activate command to activate my virtual environment:

[mythcat@desk django]$ source bin/activate

I install this python module named django-tinymce:

(django) [mythcat@desk django]$ pip install django-tinymce4-lite
Collecting django-tinymce4-lite
...
Installing collected packages: jsmin, django-tinymce4-lite
Successfully installed django-tinymce4-lite-1.7.2 jsmin-2.2.2

Let's see my folder project django named src:

(django) [mythcat@desk django]$ cd src/
(django) [mythcat@desk src]$ ll
total 136
-rw-r--r--. 1 mythcat mythcat 135168 Sep 28 12:21 db.sqlite3
-rwxrwxr-x. 1 mythcat mythcat    541 Sep 23 18:56 manage.py
drwxrwxr-x. 4 mythcat mythcat    142 Sep 26 21:45 pages
drwxrwxr-x. 4 mythcat mythcat    142 Sep 28 18:30 products
drwxrwxr-x. 3 mythcat mythcat    112 Sep 28 12:04 templates
drwxrwxr-x. 3 mythcat mythcat     93 Sep 28 12:14 trydjango

The installation is simple and star with to your settings.py and url.py file:

(django) [mythcat@desk src]$ cd trydjango/
(django) [mythcat@desk trydjango]$ vim settings.py 

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    'django.contrib.admin',
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'django.contrib.messages',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles',
    'products',
    'tinymce',
]
(django) [mythcat@desk trydjango]$ vim urls.py

from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path, include

from pages.views import home_view, about_view, contact_view
from products.views import product_detail_view

urlpatterns = [
    path('', home_view, name='home'),
    path('about/', about_view),
    path('contact/',contact_view),
    path('admin/',admin.site.urls),
    path('product/',product_detail_view),
    path(r'^tinymce/', include('tinymce.urls')),

This is my change I used to add the tinymce editor into my django application named products.

(django) [mythcat@desk products]$ vim models.py
from django.db import models
from tinymce.models import HTMLField

# Create your models here.
class Product(models.Model):
    title = models.CharField(max_length=120)
#    description = models.TextField(blank=True, null=True)
    description = HTMLField()
    price = models.DecimalField(decimal_places=2, max_digits=1000)
    summary = models.TextField(default='this is cool!')

You can see I used HTMLField and default come is TextField.
The result of this changes can see into the next output:

Fedora 27 : Testing the new Django web framework .

Today I tested the Django web framework version 2.0.3 with python 3 on my Fedora 27 distro.
The main reason is to see if the Django and Fedora working well.
I used the pip to install and activate the virtual environment for python. First you need to create your project into your folder. I make one folder named django_001.

$ mkdir django_001
$ cd django_001

The next step is to create and activate the virtual environment for python language and your project.

$ python3 -m venv django_001_venv
$ source django_001_venv/bin/activate

Into this virtual environment named django_001_venv you will install django web framework.

pip install django

If you have problems with update pip then update this tool. Now start the django project named django_test.

$ django-admin startproject django_test
$ cd django_test
$ python3 manage.py runserver

Open the url http://127.0.0.1:8000/ with your web browser.
The result is this:

If you try to use the admin web with password and user you will see errors.
One of the most common problem for django come from settings, let's see some file from the project:

• manage.py - this runs project specific tasks (the django-admin is used to execute system wide Django tasks) and is used to execute project specific tasks;
• __init__.py - this file that allows Python packages to be imported from directories where it's present and it's a generic file used in almost all Python applications;
• settings.py - the configuration settings for the Django project;
• urls.py - contains URL patterns for the Django project; 
• wsgi.py - is WSGI configuration properties for the Django project ( you don't need to setup WSGI to develop Django applications).

The next step is to create first django application.

$ python manage.py startapp django_blog

This make a folder named django_blog into the main django_test folder. Into the main django_test folder you have another django_test folder with settings.py file. Add into settings.py file the django_blog application.

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    'django.contrib.admin',
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'django.contrib.messages',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles',
    'django_blog',
]

Let's fix some issues about admin and the django_blog application.
Into the main django_test folder with manage.py file use this:

$ python3 manage.py migrate
$ python3 manage.py createsuperuser

This fix the django framework and let you to add your superuser using the admin page, see:

The next issue is: create the website ( see the django_blog folder) using the Django web framework.
I don't have a issue for this django_blog but you can follow this tutorial link.
