There are two different Django tutorials. I'm assuming you viewed the more basic of the two (Up and Running with Python and Django, Smith). I watched the sections on creating models and migrations, and the only piece that I saw was confusing was changing the app name part way through the tutorial, which requires changes in a couple of other places. I didn't go through the tutorial entirely, though. I'm not entirely sure what happened, but I can assure you that the app name should not be necessary assuming that everything else is correct. I've never had to enter the app name. Doing so will limit your migration creation to the specific app, which will likely lead to issues down the road if you have multiple apps. -James -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
