Web Development Project with Django

Introduction

This repository contains the source code for a web development project built with Django framework. It is part of the assignments and projects completed during the Web Development with Django courses on Coursera.org

• Web Application Technologies and Django
• Building Web Applications in Django
• Django Features and Libraries

Project Description

My working project can be visited at https://thewhiteowl.pythonanywhere.com/

Some applications require a log in, in this case a guest account can be used: username : Guest password : Pass123!

Folder 'batch' :

Subfolders needed to create a One-To-Many Data Model. Task: Develop a data model from a file of un-normalized data and then build a script to load data in to that model. The data is a simplified extraction of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites registry. The un-normalized data is provided as CSV file whc-sites-2018-clean.csv

Folder 'mysite' :

Various subfolders corresponding to their 'app name':

• 'ads' : Classified ad web site. People can view ads without logging in and if they log in, they can create their own ads.
• 'autos' : Fully working CRUD (Create, Read, Update, and Delete) app to manage automobiles and their makes (i.e. Ford, Hyundai, etc.). Log in required
• 'cats' : CRUD app with CRISPY implementation. Log in required
• 'hello' : Return the sessions count
• 'home' : Main page creation
• 'polls' : Poll app composed by two parts 1) A public site that lets people view polls and vote in them ; 2) An admin site that lets you add, change, and delete polls. Log in required just in the admin site

Setup Instructions

To set up the project, go into your virtual environment, and follow the steps below:

git clone https://github.com/vbb08/django_projects.git
pip install -r requirements4.txt
pip install 'django_extensions'
pip install mysqlclient==1.4.6
cd django_projects
python manage.py makemigrations
python manage.py migrate
python manage.py createsuperuser
python manage.py runscript gview_load
python manage.py runscript many_load

Running Locally

If you have Django installed on your local computer you can test any of the sample applications by going into the folder and starting the server:

cd django_projects
python manage.py runserver

And visit http://localhost:8000.

Note: be sure MySQL is installed.

Running on PythonAnywhere

Once you have checked out the code under django_projects, and ran the migrations and load scripts, go under the Web tab, update the config files to point to your new application:

Source code:                /home/--your-account--/django_projects/mysite
Working Directory:          /home/--your-account--/django_projects/mysite

Use this as your WGSI configuration file:

import os
import sys

path = os.path.expanduser('~/django_projects/mysite')
if path not in sys.path:
    sys.path.insert(0, path)
os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'mysite.settings'
from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application
from django.contrib.staticfiles.handlers import StaticFilesHandler
application = StaticFilesHandler(get_wsgi_application())

Open a bash:

cd django_projects/mysite
python manage.py check

Reload the Web tab and visit http:--your-account--/pythonanywhere.com.

You can edit these files and settings in the Web tab to switch between various projects on PythonAnywhere. Make sure to reload under the Web tab after every file or configuration change.
