This is indeed a very common use case and has been requested many times (e.g. here [1]). The good news is that Django has scheduled the 1.0 release early September. This means it’s very probably not going to be addressed right now. But once 1.0 is out the door the ancient ticket #13 [2] will be (hopefully) revisited :) It has a mock-up of the admin interface proposed [3] but no patch yet. On the JS-lib/flamewar issue. If I recall correctly the admin is not considered to belong to the core of Django (even though it’s _the_ killer feature for many). It's merely an application. As such it has to use the techniques necessary. Unless someone volunteers to rewrite a JS for Django from scratch this includes using a lib. I don't think that's that much of an issue though. Let's just come up witch a sensible list and have people with commit privileges vote on it :) But post 1.0 ;) Cheers, Jonas [1] http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/6118 [2] http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/13 [3] http://media.wilsonminer.com/images/django/related-objects-mock.gif --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
