Django Snippets Required

Question

Hey guys,

I'm a really tight schedule to code up a prototype for a website. I'm working with Django and am just starting out. Can you suggest open source Django snippets for the following:

1) A User Registration system (Registration/Authentication/Sessions) 2) A Rating System (Preferably a x/10 or 5 stars rating system) 3) A tags based search system

I'm really a noob and I need to get the version 1 out in 4 hours. So I'll just use open source code and modify it. I will make sure to keep the final version open sourced as well.

Thanks in Advanced

Answer 1

Check out the Pinax Project. That should cover #1 (OpenID) and #3 (tagging).

Answer 2

I never searched for your exact two examples, but django snippets is usually a really good place to start when looking for django code examples.

Answer 3

Your basic Django installation will provide users, authentication, and session handling right out of the box. For your user registration needs, you might consider django-registration. It's written by James Bennett, a well-respected Django contributor. For tagging, I've always used django-tagging.

I've never used a rating system in a Django application, but you might consider using django-ratings.

Good luck!
