irgmedeiros 9b50409986 Update the second code example
Update the second code example to reflect the last change in the first example.
2013-09-27 18:22:33 -03:00
irgmedeiros d9e0fdc9aa Update practices.rst
With this modification scrapy runs the spider with project settings. The previous example ran only with default settings resulting in ignoring all user settings as pipelines for example.

Pablo Hoffman fc388f4636 Make ITEM_PIPELINE setting a dict
This is for consistency with how spider and downloader middlewares are
defined. ITEM_PIPELINE_BASE was also added and both remain empty.

Backwards compatibility is kept (with a warning) with list-based
ITEM_PIPELINES.

Emanuel Schorsch f9b130da12 Proposed Changes
I was very confused as to how you actually import DjangoItem.
I searched extensively on the internet looking for actual code so I could see how it worked.
I finally found http://blog.just2us.com/2012/07/setting-up-django-with-scrapy/. It is much easier to understand with full files instead of code fragments.
I also edited where it says "we can see that the model is already saved" as I don't see how it's already saved.
