Sithembewena,

  I recognized this the first time I considered using django.


The problem you describe of managing users etc is just a requirements
specification. The advice in the book is general enough across
implementations of solutions in broad problem domains. It's not a recipe
book, but more a collection of chefs' knives.


  My original question was not about structuring django code but the logical
design of the project itself. I believe that question was answered by a
message on another thread: there is at least one plug-in package that allows
individual users to work in their own database area and keeps users from
areas assigned to others. This is independent of the django project/app code
arrangement.

Thanks again,

Rich

Hey Rich,

Do take the time to peruse the book. It would be time well spent. Also, do
keep in mind that the recommendations therein do not apply to a Django blog
or CRM sustem etc, per se. They would apply just as well if you were
building a RESTful mobile app backend.

The problem you describe of managing users etc is just a requirements
specification. The advice in the book is general enough across
implementations of solutions in broad problem domains. It's not a recipe
book, but more a collection of chefs' knives.

Sithembewena,

  I have that book (the 1.8 version); pulled it off the shelf earlier today
to read again.


There are various factors to consider and this book (to me, at least) best
encapsulates all those. I believe that it also applies for newer versions
of Django than v1.8.


  What I need to build is different from a blog, newspaper, e-commerce, and
similar sites ... I think. In those, every visitor/user sees the same views
and has the same options.

  My proposed application needs to be slightly different for each category
of user and keep each in his/her own private section. How to do this may be
in 2 scoops, or may not. If I don't see how to do this I'll be back with
more questions.

Thanks,

Rich

Hey Rich,

My best recommendation for structuring Django projects (and for
optimization and a myriad other goodies) would be the book Two Scoops of
Django by Daniel and Audrey Roy Greenfeld. I could say a lot but the bottom
line is, check the book out. It's at https://www.twoscoopspress.com/

There are various factors to consider and this book (to me, at least) best
encapsulates all those. I believe that it also applies for newer versions
of Django than v1.8.

Best regards,
Sithembewena
