Python Django CRM Course - Adding leads - Part 2

[@madusan1]

On the leads_list.html, move the bg-gray-100 to the empty quotes to the right in the cycle. The first quotes should now be empty quotes. This makes the even lines grayed. The odd lines will be white. You already have the header having a bg

Nice, great tip 👍🏻

Greetings! Hope you're doing great. Can you paste an example?

Thank you for this series 🙏

You’re welcome

I hope you add other projects like this for example a school management with all its activities: management + education

I liked your coding skills from down to up ☝️

Thanks 😄

I made the footer a sticky footer by adding 'fixed inset-x-0 bottom-0' to the footer class. I also made the footer narrower by preference by changing py-8 to py-4. Picky, I know but gives more screen space.

Nice! Love it when my subs goes beyond what I’m teaching and making things better 😁

[@briangreenberg153]

I found that quite handy. Thanks for the tip!

Thanks, the tutorial is well explained in a simple format, but I am having challenges updating the forms for lead and clients.

[@CodeWithStein]

Hey, thanks :-D Hmm, are there any errors?

[@emmanuelsofolawe9704]

@@CodeWithStein No errors , after submission to goes to the else block that is returning me to the initial page

[@CodeWithStein]

Hmm, that is weird. It sounds like you have a typo or similar in the code. Have you compared it one more time with my code?

[@emmanuelsofolawe9704]

Is there a link where I can get the source code for comparison

I dont have it at my mobile (using it now). But check the description for the video or just search me up on GitHub (steinovehelset) and find the series there 👍🏻

Stein, first let me start by thanking you for putting this together. This was perfect timing, as I was in need of making my own crm. Nothing I could find available was suitable for my business. I have been following along since part one and everything has been really smooth. I have ran into an issue at 19 :18 in this video. When you created the new lead on the front-end, I followed the steps, but I went back to the admin area and noticed the new lead didn't get committed to the database. I can create a new lead from the admin area with no issues. I was hoping you might be able to provide some insight. I look forward to working my way through the rest of this series. Thank you for sharing this project.

[@CodeWithStein]

Hey, Thanks for the feedback ☺️ it is a bit hard to explain here in the comments since it will require some code. Are there any errors in the stuff you made so far?

[@timbryant9869]

@@CodeWithStein There are no errors that I can see. After I create a new lead in the front-end, I get redirected as expected back to the dashboard. I tried looking at the code on your github, but with all the refactoring, I can't tell if i've just made a typo somewhere.

[@timbryant9869]

@@CodeWithStein Thank you for the reply. I found my issue finally. It was a typo, that I just wasn't catching. Now I can continue on..lol

Thanks 😁😁

Hi Stein, thanks again for an informative and interesting tutorial. one question about the architecture of the project: you are using function-based-view not a class_based_ones - your habit or for educational purposes? Looking forward to your parts to come. Have a Nice Day!

[@CodeWithStein]

You’re welcome 😁 It is a mix. First of all, I love FBV. And they are easier to teach since it is so clear how they work. With CBV, a lot of magic is happening in the background. And that can be confusing for many people ☺️

Learning to code is like learning to speak a new language. If you move to a foreign country that doesn't speak your language, and you have to be communicating with the locals on a daily basis, and you start practicing the basics of their language (Local greetings, names of commodities like sugar, butter), a few years down the line, you will find yourself speaking the local language fluently. It just takes time and commitment. You will make a lot of grammatical errors when start out, you will not understand some more complex sentence constructions at the beginning, but with time, it will all start making sense.

[@CodeWithStein]

Yes, you are really right about that ☺️ great words 😁

Deleting the lead is dangerous. It is much better to mark a book field as a deleted field or inactive. This ensures history is kept. Reports complete and ensures a recovery path for any accidental removals. A dB command can be used at a later date if the record should be removed but this is done by admins or backend staff which would be rare. They records could be moved to another table for historical data. Prevents recalling cold calling lead again. Of course, you would just filter the view to not show anything marked as deleted.

[@CodeWithStein]

This is absolutely a good idea! Maybe i can implement this later in the series ☺️
