Re: Project Structure - Lots of scattered custom views

Héllo again,

I don't see where Django makes things easier for you at all. Why no just use static files and include a menu via Javascript and serve all the thing like static files instead of using Django ?

Regards

Sanjay, you were hitting things pretty close. I think that making sure slug names match up to real *static* locations is the key. I am hosting with Apache, and I thought about using some configurations to cheat a little bit, and get some of the static-files burden off of Django and let Apache resolve any requests that point to actual files on disk (with some security in mind).

What about a view that can determine if it should be pointing at a file on disk, and if so, do a custom Http_Response, and read the actually binary contents from disk by hand. Im just curious on this one; it could be an alternative means of file storage and recognition. I understand this may have some performance implications, but this is not going to break Django, correct? Is this bad Django etiquette?

Amirouche, a different way to describe what I am trying to achieve might be this: I would like to bypass the admin as much as possible when it comes to these "Articles". But when rendered, all of these articles do need at least a small HTML wrapper, and probably some kind of of global template that helps with navigation. If I could handle navigation without the admin, i would be very excited, but it does seem that I will need to use the admin for at least this purpose. The navigation would probably help render hierarchical  "menus" for use as templates within the Articles. I would like to keep this navigation as light as possible.

Thanks for the feedback.
