I'm trying to use an API called BigBLueButton in my website, and after a little researches, i figured how to install it in my project using the command pip install django-bigbluebutton. I add it to my INSTALLED-APP in setting.py.
Until this step, everything is OK and i have no errors. But i don't know how use its models and its views and how to show it in my website. Does anyone have an idea of the next steps? Thank you everyone.
According to docs , it provides a admin section which is named as Meeting.
So fron there you can manage meetings (create, join, share, etc.)

I hope you are fine.
I want to customize my django admin panel by tailwind. I know how to use tailwind in the templates of my django apps but unfortunately I am not able to use tailwind in the admin template and I have also tried multiple ways to solve this such as putting cdn in the admin base.hml or installing django-tailwind but all of them hasn’t worked for me yet.
I will thank if anyone who has experience about this matter give me a piece of guidance.
The django-tailwind package is not for django admin customisation. The first step could be this package django-admin-tailwind from here, you can add some more code to the package to suit your needs, probably make a PR as well. Happy coding!
My little podcast backend written in Django contains a ShowModel. I have also written a custom management command to update episodes for each show from an external API.
For ease of use I'd now like to put a button next to the list of shows in the Django admin to be able to update them from there. I know there's call_command() that also takes the argument but I'm getting a bit stuck in how to bring this into the admin area where the shows are already. Also, if possible I'd also pass the output to the web admin.
You can use this lib https://github.com/vint21h/django-mcadmin
Or try to read the code and pull some pieces to your project.
I was solving the same puzzle of running management commands from the admin interface, so here is what I found pip install -i https://test.pypi.org/simple/ django-run-command
This package helps you to run management commands from the admin dashboard
I have already finished setting up my home, about and contact us page using bootstrap in one project. I wanted to use the django-oscar for the e-commerce configuration and use it in my products page.
Do I need to add another project or just create another app for django-oscar?
By the way I created another project and am currently stuck on how to connect it the first project I have made
You don't need to create another project for your product's page. You can easily install Oscar (which will install Django as a dependency). It supports a simple design built with Twitter's Bootstrap.
You can read this: Getting started with Oscar and How to customise templates for create home, about and contacts pages.
Hope I help!
I was wondering what is the best way for customizing zinnia because by default when installing via pip it installs in site packages do I need to open the site package directory and edit it from there? Just want to know. Plus do I need to do some extreme tweaking to zinnia in other for it to work since all I want is a simple post that, displays entries as a list and detail or I just leave it as it is after installation.
As written in the comments, you need to create the static dir and collect the templates.
The best place to look and get an explanation is the Django documentation. Here is the link to the deployment section. Please make sure you read the other sections as well: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/howto/static-files/#deployment
I'm following the tutorial contained here:
http://www.djangobook.com/en/2.0/chapter06.html
They say that the admin site should look like this:
http://www.djangobook.com/en/2.0/_images/admin_index.png
When I start the admin site, though, it looks really simplistic, just plain text and links:
Django administration
Welcome, admin. Change password / Log out
Site administration
Auth
Groups Add Change
Users Add Change
Recent Actions
My Actions
None available
I noticed that it looks all nice like the link when I uncomment django.contrib.staticfiles from the INSTALLED_APPS, although that wasn't mentioned in the tutorial...can someone please explain this behavior to me?
Thank you for your help!
The Django Book is a little out of date (although an update is in the works I believe):
This book was originally published by Apress in 2009, and covered Django 1.0. Since then, it’s languished. We’re working on getting the book updated to cover Django 1.4, 1.5, and beyond
Static files are all the CSS/JS & images that your site (and the django admin) uses. They need to be collected and placed somewhere that your server (or development server) can serve them. This is the job of django.contib.staticfiles.
You can read more about this in the 'Managing Static Files' documentation
Websites generally need to serve additional files such as images, JavaScript, or CSS. In Django, we refer to these files as “static files”. Django provides django.contrib.staticfiles to help you manage them.
