The current admin (and the newforms one) doesn't allow enough
customization to make it user-friendly. That may be a feature, but
that is really boring to need to write its own admin because of the
limitations of the existing one.
In my case, I just have a ForeignKey to an User. At the first save,
user is automatically filled with the request.user. But after that, I
would like to display the author on the editing page, for information.
Simple (and generic) demand, and that patch allows it.
I am just against the special "readonly_fields" because that would
prevent us to organize fields like we want.
I would prefer that, imo :
fields = (
(None, {'fields': ('title','url','text')}, {'readonly_fields' :
('author')}),
(_("Options"), {'fields': ('date','lang'), 'classes':'collapse'}),
)
