I used to use php to handle ajax request, which is pretty easy. Using Django framework is a little complex, here is a simple example, and I’m sure there are other ways.
1. In your views.py:
(1) include the following lines
from json import dumps from django.views.decorators.csrf import csrf_exempt
When using static files in my Django application, the STATIC_URL is empty even I set it in the setting.py, after a few research, here is how I fixed it.
My static image files are located at movie/static/img (my application is movie)
1. in views.py
from django.template import RequestContext
if you use render_to_response, make sure you add context_instance=RequestContext(request) in it,
render_to_response('movie/index.html', {'movie_list': movie_list}, context_instance=RequestContext(request));
In case you want to use Django framework in Godaddy’s Linux Economy Host, here is the steps:
1. Godaddy has virtualenv installed, so first, create a virtual environment venv: (I use $HOME/lib/ for all the installed stuff below)
cd ~/ mkdir lib cd lib virtualenv --no-site-packages venv
The python package folder is $HOME/lib/venv/lib/python2.7/site-packages
2. Install the latest Django through pip
pip install Django
