Re: Adding a field to a model after initial migration

Thanks for your reply.

The model.py contains,

class SignUp(models.Model):
    email = models.EmailField()
    full_name =  models.CharField(max_length = 120, blank = True, null = True)
    timestamp = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add = True, auto_now = False)
    updated = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add = False, auto_now = True)

    def __unicode__(self): #__str__ for python3

          return self.email

I had to add the updated field,

updated = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add = False, auto_now = True)

Running make migrations,

[pi@Huawei-HG658c-instalacion src]$ python manage.py makemigrations
/home/pi/src/djangoTest/urls.py:20: RemovedInDjango110Warning: Support for string view arguments to url() is deprecated and will be removed in Django 1.10 (got news.views.home). Pass the callable instead.
  url(r'^$', 'news.views.home', name='home'),

No changes detected

Then running migrations

[pi@Huawei-HG658c-instalacion src]$ python manage.py migrate
/home/pi/src/djangoTest/urls.py:20: RemovedInDjango110Warning: Support for string view arguments to url() is deprecated and will be removed in Django 1.10 (got news.views.home). Pass the callable instead.
  url(r'^$', 'news.views.home', name='home'),

Hi,
I forgot to add a field to a model and wish to add it now.
I added the line to models.py but makemigrations and migrate aren't working now.
Is this possible in Django or do i need to go directly tp the sqlite DB and do it using SQL?
Thanks
Currently following this tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0tvJsUAx7g
