Hello All,
I'm in my final year of computer science engineering and for my final
year project, i'm creating a hospital erp. I'm a bit confused about
where to start from. Any sort of help will be appreciated. Thanks a
lot.

Not sure from your post, which piece you are stuck on.

1. Have you used Django before?
If not start with the tutorial

https://www.djangoproject.com/

2. If you have a basic understanding of Django, have you been able to
set up a basic project /app and connect run syncdb.
One can always connect to the sqllite database, because it is built
in, but getting some other database to connect can be a time consuming
process if the procedure has not been established on your machine.

3. If you have done the above 2 items then you should move in a
parallel path.

a. Start defining your database model to support the business and the
workflow that you intend to create.
b. Use some sort of wire frame (framework) to lay out your web pages
to support and interact step 3 a.

I had not completed my previous post, and hit the send button by
mistake.

One wire frame work is
http://www.balsamiq.com/products/mockups/manifesto

And you can download a free trial.

If you search on Frameworks then you will find a number of others that
are open source, or you can simply use yellow stickies, as some of
these web sites suggest as an alternative.

Then convert the yellow stickies into web pages and link them to the
backend database.

Good luck

What about choosing a system development methodology? A simple one could
you give some clues, the code is always the last thing to do.

Hi Patricio
I dont understand what you mean by System Development methodology.
What exactly do you want me to let you know?

Thanks

Thank you Python_junkie
I've created the poll app and I'm working on this Hospital ERP thing.
I've also created the database schema and put some dummy values for
testing. Then I created the models using 'inspected' command and saved
the models in models.py file. Now I'm confused where to put the
models.py file and what to with it. Guide me please.

Thanks a lot.

Now that you have your file >>models.py >>>> place this file in the
app folder after creating your app

1. python manage.py start app My_Erp (for example)
2. a blank models.py file will be created, overwrite this with your
models.py
3. run the command to sync the database, assuming that your set up the
settings.py file has been set up correctly to connect to the database
of your choice.

python manage.py syncdb

Let me know if this works for you

+1 to @Patricio Valarezo's comment :

If you want to build a system for hospitals, you've got to know how an
hospital works first. So, make interviews, draw mockups, more
interviews, code a prototype, more interviews, and so on ... and only
then you'll know what you need to do.

Now that you have your file >>models.py >>>> place this file in the
app folder after creating your app

Thanks Sebastien, I already have the info about the various
departments of the hospital. I also created a sample database with
tables being Patient detail, Then I created the admin interface and I
could login and see the app over there. I could also access and edit
the details of the tables thru the admin interface. Now, how do i
create the view for normal user who is not an admin. What do i have to
do with the templates? Thanks for everything.

Hi all, I created a view today and I could access the database
contents using Templates. Now I wish to create a listbox that would
have the names of doctors. When an item from the list is selected, an
sql query should be sent which will return all the details of that
doctor, where doc_id is the primary key? how do we create buttons? do
we need to use html or django can handle them also?

Thanks a lot people.

When you're doing template stuff, read:
- HTML
- CSS
- JS
- Python

tutorials.

Also, get a book. The questions you are asking are textbook level questions.

check this:

btw, this seems to me a very basic web dev related question, so maybe
it will be better for you to spend some time learning general web dev
related stuff before doing things by your own.

Design doesn't matter one bit for what you're doing.

Don't try and win design awards by having CSS dropdowns.

Concentrate on solving their business logic rather than adding images
of sexy nurses

And get that book. There are free books online, there's the official
django tutorial also.

Is the project referenced in this link written in Django.

Was your goal for your class project to write a Django app?

Yeah, the project is to be written in Django and it was meant to be
written in Django only.

A lot of ERP is general across any field.

I recommend working from the AGPL licensed OpenERP into Django
(http://apps.openerp.com/addon/4533): http://openerp.com

Then just build in all the hospital ERP related functions, streamline
all the interfaces (including config and admin interfaces).

If you find yourself finishing the project early, just throw in some
scope-creep :P, it's an ERP afterall!

Good luck ;)

Maybe DRY can help you and start from OpenERP <http://www.openerp.com>.
Its wrote in python, MVC, WS, etc.
