Creating a Content Management System
In the previous chapter, you created the application models for the e-learning platform and learned how to create and apply data fixtures for models. You created a custom model field to order objects and implemented user authentication.
In this chapter, you will learn how to build the functionality for instructors to create courses and manage the contents of those courses in a versatile and efficient manner.
You will be introduced to class-based views, which offer a new perspective to build your application compared to the function-based views you have built in previous examples. You will also explore code reusability and modularity through the use of mixins, which are techniques that you can apply in future projects.
In this chapter, you will learn how to:
- Create a content management system (CMS) using class-based views and mixins
- Build formsets and model formsets to edit course modules and module contents
- Manage...
