I have two models, Room and Image. Image is a generic model that can tack onto any other model. I want to give users a form to upload an image when they post information about a room. I've written code that works, but I'm afraid I've done it the hard way, and specifically in a way that violates DRY. Was hoping someone who's a little ...
I've got a CMS that takes some dynamic content and renders it using a standard template. However I am now using template tags in the dynamic content itself so I have to do a render_to_string and then pass the results of that as a context variable to render_to_response. This seems wasteful. What's a better way to do this? ...

I want to modify a few tiny details of Django's built-in django.contrib.auth module. Specifically, I want a different form that makes username an email field (and email an alternate email address.

A bit more context, in case this question is too general: the uses I have in mind are running django and serving static content and name-based virtual hosting. I am vaguely aware of the performance/resource tradeoffs between the different servers, but that is a secondary concern. Anyone who has deployed all three in production? ...
