Django Multiple Views for index/dashboard template
I think you're better of with pulling the data by using ajax from your dashboard, it will be a better UX when you have a lot of data to fetch. For that you can use one of the known 3rd party apps for creating REST API or change your existing views to deliver json response as well.
So im trying to use my django installation to create a dashboard a combination of all the data from the 4 other models and views. For our use of django we mainly use it for stats so it's generally just pulling numbers out onto the main index page. Right now I have my index template set up as a redirect_to_template and it goes straight to a template (since everything is still static). Im trying to figure out if im going to have to create another app and pull in all the data to a new view & model for this dashboard page, or if I should create sub-templates if that would work to pull the data.
Thanks again!
