Hey @s4starb4boy,

It is good you are using Cookiecutter Django but I would like to give you some advice.

1. The issue you have is a Django one, not a Cookiecutter Django problem.
2. This is a "how to build" question, meaning that you will get better help from a place like Stackoverflow. This board is for issues that come up between the parts that make up Cookiecutter Django.
3. If you have a money-paying project and yet you would like free help, you will need to do a bit more homework on your end or pay someone to spend time pair-programming with you while building it.
   Why? Going back to 1., there is be no reason to begin with Cookiecutter Django and yet you area beginner in using Django. This will be very frustrating for you.

I hope I did not come out as not being empathetic with your situation but I think this is better for you than all of us here being silent about your question.

What do you think?

"This board is for issues that come up between the parts that make up Cookiecutter Django." being a newbie I really do apologize for my question. and Thanks for your advice >"Going back to 1., there is be no reason to begin with Cookiecutter Django and yet you area beginner in using Django. This will be very frustrating for you." though it discouraged me but I'd keep doing and find an other forum for help.Thx

As @Afrowave said, it's a general Django topic, not specific to Cookiecutter Django.

These types of questions would reach a far broader audience elsewhere than on this issue tracker, where only a handful of people are notified. Here are a few places I would suggest:

• The official Django documentation, I think the part about migrations might help you.
• The Django forum
• The django-users google group
• Stackoverflow with the tag #django

Stackoverflow or not, I would recommend following some of their tips to ask a good question. Please keep in mind that you're asking people for some of their time.

English is not my first language (like many out there), and reading your original post, I'm not sure I understand your question.

I'm going to close this issue, it's out of scope of the project, I hope the links I gave will be helpful.

Thanks all of you. I've already found the solution. you can delete my question/post/thread or whatever you want to.
