Hey Stein ! This will be the second project I'll be doing along for learning purposes. Wanted to thank you for taking the time and effort to share your knowledge. Greatly appreciated ! 😊

[@CodeWithStein]

Great 😁 glad you liked it 👍🏻

[@anon1.9.8.7.6]

Thanks a lot for this! Easy to follow, great for beginners such as myself

[@CodeWithStein]

Thanks! Glad to hear 😁

You’re welcome 😁😁

Hello, can you tell me what is written in the first line at 1:39:46 ?

@ 1:53:53 I get an error ./bin/unicorn_start: 21: exec: ../bin/gunicorn: not found

[@CodeWithStein]

Hey, did you install gunicorn using pip?

[@phillybruhhh7344]

@@CodeWithStein I did install it using pip. Does it matter if it says it's a read-only file?

[@CodeWithStein]

Maybe it has to be writable. At least there are several other files/folders that needs to be 😉

one of the most clear tutorials about django on KZbin😀 after watching this vidoe, it seems that i have better understanding about django, and can apply various concepts in my blog project Thank you very much teacher!

[@CodeWithStein]

Thank you so much for the feedback 😁😁

[@sim9955]

this really really great! Thank you Stein! wondering, is there a way have a dark/light theme toggle?

[@CodeWithStein]

Hey, sure that is possible. Its a bit too much to explain here though. But search for tailwind + dark mode on Google ☺️

[@trevormadden4301]

Hi Mr Stein.Thanks so much for your brilliant tutorial. Just started learning Django and it exactly what ive been looking for. Im just wondering how i could set up another grouping of posts like you have done with category. Say im building an art site and i want a link in the detail page with the name of the gallery under the post exactly like you have with category. i dont really want to use tags. it would help a lot with my learning about slugs and urls too.

[@CodeWithStein]

Hey, Thanks for the feedback ☺️ its a bit much to explain here, so my suggestion is to keep practicing my tutorials and you will soon understand how to solve this ☺️

[@OlafKoch-j5y]

wonderful, thank you

[@mrj1997]

Awesome course, thank you

[@CodeWithStein]

Thanks 😁

[@miraclechinwe6262]

The included URLconf '' does not appear to have any patterns in it. If you see valid patterns in the file then the issue is probably caused by a circular import. how can i fix this?

[@CodeWithStein]

Hey,are you sure there is content in that urls.py file?

[@arun.sekher]

Thank you so much for this video. This has been enormously helpful for me to start learning Django. Could you create a video about setting up VSCode IDE for Django development featuring the plugins and settings that you use in VSCode. Thanks again.

[@CodeWithStein]

Thanks for the feedback 😁 maybe, i will add this idea to my list 😁

[@Johan87577]

what is the benefit of using virtualenv package over python -m venv envname ?

[@CodeWithStein]

It is more or less the same ☺️ venv is just a bit newer, so just stick with that 👍🏻

[@AlfredOtieno-kh4dg]

Stein, Thank You so much. However, I have a question, why didn't you use heroku or paid for webhosting to deploy your app to the internet?

[@CodeWithStein]

Hey, Thanks ☺️ I dont like heroku 🤷🏼‍♂️ and i didn’t think that deployment should be a part of a crash course 😉

[@meowbyte4]

i dont have input box for comment. why?

[@CodeWithStein]

Hmm weird, then you’re probably missed something in the video 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@mickaelrichard7255]

Amazing! Do you think in the futur you could make a tuto that focus on authentification and security with Django? Nobody make that kind of content even on udemy. :/

[@CodeWithStein]

Hi, thanks for the tip! I'll add it to my list :-D

[@tranlu_salelee3416]

Top tutorial I have come across on youtube. Excellent job!. As a beginner, I learned so much from this tutorial I followed step by step and all successful and working....... I have encountered a problem though that is when click submit comment button; I get the NoReverseMatch error. Not sure what went wrong. I would be grateful if you could help.

[@CodeWithStein]

Hello! Thanks :-D Hmm, that sounds weird :s it's hard to say where there error is based on that error message. But it's most likely in the redirect after the comment is added ;-)

[@tranlu_salelee3416]

@@CodeWithStein That's correct. The error occurred when I inserted comment in the comment box then clicked submit button. I have multiple times looked at your tutorial for that segment. I followed every step correctly; I had an error, but you didn't.

[@karthigeyan88]

Hello Stein, Hope you are doing good. After al long time, I completed this blog. It was really nice and thanks again for your effort. It would be good if you could add a video on disabling the copy command on the browser so user cannot copy any content from the blog. thanks in advance. :-)

[@CodeWithStein]

Hey, all good here 😁 how about there? Making it impossible to copy isn’t worth the effort in my opinion. If someone wants to copy, they will find a way 🤷🏼‍♂️ anyways, to prevent the typical right click/copy, you can use javascript ☺️

[@PureTheOne]

Hi , is this project east to deploy on heroku ?

[@CodeWithStein]

Hey, I have never tried Heroku. But this application is very basic, so I don't think there will be any problems :-)

[@ahsin.shabbir]

How do you add more posts that have styling in them? For example, code blocks in the post or headings and subheadings, images, audio, video, gifs, etc?

[@CodeWithStein]

Hey, it's a bit much to explain here in a comment how to solve this. But maybe the best solution is to set up a Wysiwyg editor? If you search on my channel you will find out how :-)

[@iwilllearneverything]

hey man, how long does it take to learn python & django from scratch for web development? no prior programming knowledge except basic JS.

[@CodeWithStein]

Hey, it depends on what you mean with "learn" django. You should be able to understand the basics and build simple things in a month or so. I have been using Django for many years, and I still learn :-) So it's always something new :-D

[@juricapuljiz5738]

How to make search bar return message for invalid or empty inputs as its not handled properly here?

[@CodeWithStein]

Do a check in the backend somewhere, and use the messages framework to show it 👍🏻

[@BananaPeelStudio000]

Great tutorial first time using Django and you made it really easy to understand. I'm stuck on the last part about deploying it on a server . Would you have any tutorials to suggest on how to setup a server because I'm not sure what I have to do .(I'm using windows).

[@CodeWithStein]

Hi :-) The setup of the server doesn't have anything to do with windows. This is done on the servers of Digital Ocean ;-)

[@tigreonice2339]

How is it done that for the image it is with a jpg or png uploaded by the admin? And how also so that he can upload pdf?

[@CodeWithStein]

Hey, you can change to UploadField instead of ImageField to support pdf ;-)

[@You_Create_shorts]

template does not exist detail.html ??????????????????????

[@CodeWithStein]

Try restaring your server 👍🏻

[@TahaExplains]

2:23 that only works for linux instructions not clear

[@CodeWithStein]

Ah, sorry. I don't have windows, so not sure how it's solved there :-s I know you can use virtualenv on windows as well, so just try to google it :-)

[@jakubturner8044]

the part with server deploy is not really clear...there is a lot of copy-pasting stuff without explaining why you do that - which is not helpful when you need something debug. So I spent 4 hours doing that blog without the possibility of deploying that. Now I feel frustrated so I want to move on without result...

[@yonrotem340]

The first hour of this has been great, but the second hour was a little rushed. Would a class Based view approach work with this blog? Also, for those who are experiencing the NoReverseMatch error, I troubleshooted the solution and this seems to have worked. Because we added 'category_slug', we need to let the "return redirect" in the detail function in 'views.py'/blog pass 'category_slug=category_slug' or else one of the arguments is not defined. The solution I have is: def detail(request, category_slug, slug): post = get_object_or_404(Post, slug=slug, status=Post.ACTIVE) if request.method == 'POST': form = CommentForm(request.POST) if form.is_valid(): comment = form.save(commit=False) comment.post = post comment.save() return redirect('post_detail', category_slug=category_slug, slug=slug) else: form = CommentForm() return render(request, 'blog/detail.html', {'post': post, 'form': form})

[@CodeWithStein]

Hey, class based views can be used for everything (almost) a function based view can. A typical approach to this is to use classes where they make sense (not much customizations and similar), and function based views everywhere else. Or you can do as me, just use functions for everything (which is also normal) :-D
