admin: allow changlist view but not changeform

Hi! I'm working on a site where I'd like to allow changelist view with sorting, filters, search and links to other custom views, but I want to block users from using changeform. I'm thinking of overriding the change_form template and adding a check there for user.is_superuser (for whom I do want

Re: Possible Basic kwargs question.

When the definition is method(self, **kwargs), you ARE asking variable named kwargs. If you want to accept one dict object, it should be: method(self, mydict). If you want to accept variable list of args, it should be method(self, *mylist) -ak On Wednesday, April 17, 2013 12:59:21 AM UTC-4,

modular CBVs

Hi, I've written modular class-based views, based on generic views distributed with Django, and uploaded the initial version today: http://lightbird.net/mcbv/ The main difference vs. generic CBVs is that you can easily combine different views together, e.g. detail, create, list - in a single

Combinable generic CBVs

When I use CBVs, I nearly always end up needing to mix different types in the same view, e.g. detail view and list view, list view and modelform view, etc. I really like CBVs but I feel this is the one shortcoming that I constantly run into that makes CBVs much less flexible and helpful than
