网站的Django Url结构

Question

So I ran through a lot of Django tuts and I seem to understand the basics.

I know everything about the urls.py.

But now I need to design the urls for the whole site.

It seems not as easy as I imagined.

I would like to achieve the following.

overall structure:

main-site/

main_site/projects/

main_site/projects/project1
         /project2
        /project3
        /projectn

Project structure:

Every project has components that every Project shares:

projectn/description
projectn/criteria_to_participate
projectn/other

And components that just that project has.


projectn/section1/paginatorgallery1
projectn/section2/paginatorgallery2
projectn/final_summary/

If somebody lands in projectn/section1/paginatorgallery1

So my questions:

1. Is this a good structure?
2. Is there a site, resource to get some nice overview of django site structures for certain purposes? eg Webgallery, Photosite, Blog, Professional Site etc..
3. Is there a way to prevent people to go back eg to main_site, once in one project?

So if the user would just manually take away urls:

eg He is actually is on:

/main_site/project1/gallery

and manually takes away gallery in the browser.

/main_site/project1/

Can I say that is forbidden? How can I achieve this?

4. Can I solve that by letting people login in?

And how can I achieve a url system that deals with the logged in user different?

In other words how do I have to design the urls if I have a login and a non login part?

I know a lot of questions.

But I hope that everybody had to go through this part sooner or later and might be able to share some insights..

Thanks

Is this a good structure?

This is a subjective question. You project layout looks OK to me but that doesn't mean much. I suggest that you use this as a starting point and change if and when you find it inadequate.

Is there a site, resource to get some nice overview of django site structures for certain purposes? eg Webgallery, Photosite, Blog, Professional Site etc..

There a bunch of good Django projects out there (take this listing of blog engines for instance). A Google search should yield some nice examples.

Is there a way to prevent people to go back eg to main_site, once in one project?

Why do you want to do this? Giving specific reasons for this would help people provide better answers.

In other words how do I have to design the urls if I have a login and a non login part?

One way to achieve this would be to decorate the views that require login with the appropriately named login_required decorator. Other views that do not need logging in can be left alone.
