Can anyone point me to a good tutorial on how to use Django or GeoDjango with OpenLayers. I can't seems to find a good tutorial. I'm a beginner in both and haven't used these before. I just need to get a website with maps up and running really fast. So if someone can just tell me how to display a map on a django website I'd be really grateful!!
Thanks in advance!
I'm still learning how to work with both, but here's a small overview which might help clarify some things: link
You'll want a way to pass data from Django to OpenLayers in a format that OpenLayers can understand. After that, you can use OpenLayers library to manipulate that data.
Here are some examples: http://openlayers.org/en/master/examples/

I am pretty new to the coding world and django, I am pretty far along within a site and I would like to add a forum function
does anyone have suggestions, I am currently using 1.8.2
I was able to get spirit working on its own, but could not figure out how to integrate it. I also tried djangobb, but the same as spirit.
any help would be great
You should check Pybbm. It is fully documented and easy to customize.
still a newbie so I have a bunch of questions which might seem silly. However, here I go:
as a project to learn python, I decided I would start with something simple. The idea I had was to go to craigslist and find the prices of motorcycles, go through the first 10 pages of each city and give a mean, median and price trends. the result of that work can be found here (http://craigslistcompanion.co.nf/) as well as the codes.
now in order to make things better i decided that i should let the user input what they want (motorcycle/ car/ bikes) and from where (sfbay/ austin etc) and get the same results as shown in that page. as i started looking into it i was told that learning django would be a good place to start and i have been trying to do that for the last couple of days. however, what i have learn so far is mostly setting up databases and handling them.
I was wondering if there is a tutorial somewhere which will show me how to take input from the user and then manipulate it. i want to do this completely using python/ django.
for example lets say i want the user to input their first and last name and then try to play with that string and output something. how would i go about doing that?
thanks
First some clarification. Do you want to develop a web interface for your users? If so, then Django is a great start. The Django Book is a very good introduction to Django and teaches you with examples. The task of getting user information, validating it, manipulating it and saving it in a database is the most basic of task and it is explained well in the book.
The next thing is web scraping craigslist. From how you structured your question, it seams that you have solved that part of the problem. right?
I a new to django and python. I have however managed to build a small part of my application and I am in the point where I want to add a user registration feature.
I have downloaded and installed django-administration and so far I have been impressed with the basic and default configuration. BUT upon trying to customize some of it's behaviour I am stuck for 3 hours now.
How do I go about changing the success_url?
How do I go about using RegistrationFormTermsOfService()?
The docs make it sound so easy but for a newbie like I am stuck and frustrated. It is too vague and assumes too much from newcomers.
Can anyone show me a very quick example on how to do this? What files to edit, etc.
Any reply would be greatly appreciated as I have been trying to figure this out for the last few hours.

From django-registration FAQ
How do I pass custom arguments to the views?
Part 3 of the official Django tutorial, when it introduces generic views, covers the necessary mechanism: simply provide a dictionary of keyword arguments in your URLconf.
Hi All I am new on Django and python.I want to wirte program with Django .So please share me useful ideas and concept.How can I set up djanog in my window OS.
I little confuse and occur some errors while I read ebooks.
Share me with all experiences please in step by step.
Thank for all
http://www.djangobook.com is your friend. Free, well written and generally ace.
First, if you're new in python read dive into python, you must use python 2.5 or 2.6 not 3 (for django at least)
For windows here's a good tutorial. Then read the djangobook
For further information you can read Pro Django
And remember the oficial docs is very well written.
This may help you to start
This is great resource for you Getting Started with Django
Enjoy.
The first thing you should do is get yourself a project, it can be anything. The classic django-learning project is a blog.
Python is fairly easy to learn once you have some programming experience. I recommend that you go through the official tutorial. This google class also looks pretty good. You don't need to know the standard library all that much -- just enough python to find your way around whenever you need something. I'd say you can pick up python in a few afternoons of work.
After that, go through the django tutotial to get an idea of how to get started. Then start with your project using the docs which are quite good. They also contain an overview and installation section which may be handy. After you've gotten your feet wet, read the django book and then go fix all the things that could be better about your project.
Just like with any kind of programming, the key is to be constantly practicing and improving your code.
I'm building a site with a Flex frontend and Django backend.
The problem I'm facing is that it's tedious to write a CRUD frontend for every model.
I've checked out django-rest-interface but it is not obvious on how to do anything other than read/GET (i.e. create/POST, update/PUT, delete/DELETE) and couldn't find any related examples.
The usual answer I get on asking this question is "Use AMF" but what I am trying to learn is how to actually do the interfacing, not the protocol format.
So, bottom line, what are the best practices and simplest ways to integrate Flex and Django?
#Matt Briggs, The DjangoAMF tutorial wasn't clear enough and I was unable to make headway there.
I've finally gotten hold of how to use PyAMF and so far, so good.
Asked a buddy who is doing just that, he said he uses the DjangoAMF library
