I'm skeptical of moving anything JavaScript related from admin into core as this makes a stronger endorsement of and coupling to jQuery. On Thursday, May 26, 2016 at 10:22:31 AM UTC-4, is_null wrote: > > There are a lot of interresting things to do, perhaps we could extract > code from the

Re: Rewriting admin internals

There are a lot of interresting things to do, perhaps we could extract code from the admin into the core ? An example of this is the django-addanother app, which replicates the pattern used by the admin add another widget in an app for usage outside the admin. Would moving that kind of things

Re: Rewriting admin internals

Hi Asif - I don't think a DEP is the right approach. The problem isn't a controversial feature or a hard-to-design-API; it's that this is going to take a lot of time or money, and probably both. Writing a DEP won't answer the question of "how the heck are you going to find a half-dozen people who

Hi jacob, happy to see your insightful reply. I think I'm going to start the process with a draft dep soon and I'm planning to devote my engagement in the development too. Will keep you suggestions in mind :) thanks, Asif On Wednesday, May 25, 2016 at 2:45:42 PM UTC+6, Asif Saifuddin wrote:

Re: Rewriting admin internals

Hi Asif - You're probably noticing some pushback already, so I want to give you some background as to why that's the case. The admin may look simple on the surface, but it's shockingly complex and represents a ton of work. The original version was the work of a whole team (Simon, Adrian, Wilson,

Re: Rewriting admin internals

There are certainly elements of forms refactoring you would want to pull from the admin - read only fields and fieldsets being the two most obvious. At a guess, James is alluding to https://github.com/mjtamlyn/django-adapters, my currently stalled project to think about reworking the

Re: Rewriting admin internals

Sure, give me 12 months of two full time experienced Django developers and we can rewrite the admin. Honestly, I think everyone knows the admin would benefit from a significant rewrite. However, as the efforts of admin2 proved, it's a huge job to undertake. The admin has a huge number of features

Rewriting admin internals

Hi, the admin app of django is consists of many old day codes. How about rewriting it with present day approaches? adopting ideas from django-admin2 where possible? and how about using jinja2 templates as default for admin? thanks, asif -- You received this message because you are
