Django or redsolutions?

Question

Django

I just started learning django - I read and made a project djbook.ru
Installed django on apache via mod_python, i.e. a little familiarized.
The question is, is it better to first make a site on django or immediately try to pick redsolutions cms (written in django)?

Answer 1

I am at about the same stage, but I also wrote a “project manager” for my organization in Django.
now on django, I am rewriting one site that I wrote 2.5 years ago on PHP + Joomla ...
IMHO, after the jaybook it's too early to poke into such as Django CMS \ redsolution
, you need more experience, for example, try to change the functionality in the admin panel a little bit to the side, and not just change the display and fields with sorting

Answer 2

After mastering Django itself at a certain level, I recommend using DjangoCMS .
I haven’t used this stuff for half a year already, but earlier it was very convenient to use DjangoCMS in conjunction with django-admin-tools (admin panel decorations).
Pros of DjangoCMS: a lot of plugins, new ones are easy to write, I18n, blah blah blah. And, most importantly, it does not change the framework itself too much.
Advantages of django-admin-tools: you can quickly and easily build a custom admin panel that you are not ashamed to show to the customer. In the same vein, the grapelli project is said to look very decent.

Answer 3

What about deadlines?
If you have time - of course Janga. If not, see the CMS specifications to see if it's possible to do it "in haste".

Answer 4

In any case, you will have to study django itself in more depth in order to better understand the issue. But besides Redsolution CMS and DjangoCMS , there is a GAE framework (although this is, of course, a framework, but similar to django and making up for the shortcoming that django is not fully supported in GAE), which is also worthy of study.
What is better? I agree with what was written above: if you have time, study django further. If there is no time or desire, use CMS, and choose which one to your taste, especially since the choice is not very large :).
