Django again...

After following tutorial 3 without much problem, stuck at tutorial 4 for a long time. I think the problem is that I kind of stop start with the tutorial, which put me off a bit from my learning rhythm (if there is such a thing). Resume with the tutorial after a 2 or 3 days break make me lost out on the continuity, I just forgot why I change this file and add that codes, etc.

Anyway, that is my excuse for why I can't get the first part of tutorial 4 working. Following the "writing a simple form" steps by steps, till test the app by starting /polls/1 , but get a long error message which I have no idea at all where it come from. Try to rollback to where I started at tutorial 3, steps by steps, and still can't see where I go wrong here.

So, leave it for two days, try again this morning. And finally able to see what should be an obvious error all along, first thing, I didn't create the detail .html as template, second, the results template I create actually named "result.html" instead of "results.html"... This is really silly, why can't I see it much earlier? Hmmm....


So now, I can see the voting screen as below when I run the /polls/1.














And click on a radio button, select either "Not much" or "the sky", submit the vote, get you this.











Phew, I guess finally I get it right. But to be frank, I didn't understand most of the codes in tutorial 3 and 4. Though I try to read through and digest it, but sometimes I get really frustrated that I just follow blindly by copy and paste the code. I know this is not a good approach to learn something, so what I plan is to finish off tutorial 4, and write down what I have learn so far throughout this 4 tutorials, I believe that if one could explain what he is doing, then he should have a good understanding of it.
