I'm a front-end dev struggling along with Django. I have the basics pretty much down but I've hit at wall at the following point.
I have a site running locally and also on a dev machine. Locally I've added an extra class model to an already existing app, registered it in the relevant admin.py and checked it in the settings. Locally the new class and relevant fields appear in admin but when I move this all to dev they're not appearing. The app is called 'publish'.
My method was as follows:
- Created the new class in the publish > models.py file:
class Whitepaper(models.Model): title = models.CharField(max_length=200) slug = models.SlugField(max_length=100, blank=True) pub_date = models.DateField('date published') section = models.ForeignKey('Section', related_name='whitepapers', blank=True, null=True) description = models.CharField(max_length=1000) docfile = models.FileField(upload_to="whitepapers/%Y/%m/%d", null=True, blank=True) - Updated and migrated the model with South using:
python manage.py schemamigration publish --auto
and
python manage.py migrate publish
- Registered the class in the admin.py file:
from models import Section, Tag, Post, Whitepaper from django.contrib import admin from django import forms admin.site.register(Whitepaper)
The app is listed in the settings.py file:
INSTALLED_APPS = ( ..., ..., 'publish', ..., )
As this is running on a dev server that's hosting a few other testing areas, restarting the whole thing is out of the question so I've been 'touching' the .wsgi file.
On my local version this got the model and fields showing up in the admin but on the dev server they are nowhere to be seen.
What am I missing?
Thanks ye brainy ones.
