I see what you're saying now. Admittedly, I hadn't done a lot of research into newforms-admin yet, but you're right that it seems most appropriate to make use of ModelAdmin (or a subclass or a replacement thereof) as much as possible, I just didn't know how it would be tied in to the existing system. Right now, it seems that newforms-admin is very model-centric (and with good reason), which does make it a bit of a challenge to add in functionality that's not tied to a particular model. As it stands right now, I can make a ModelAdmin subclass that would allow editing of these values on a per-model basis, but as far as I can tell, it would require users to go into django-values, then pick out a model whose values need editing. I'd just rather be able to tie into the per-model perspective somehow. Something like adding a "values" link next to "add" and "change". All in all, this isn't really an urgent need, since django-values won't really need it until newforms-admin is ready to be merged into trunk. I'm just trying to get the ball rolling so that once I get to that point, it's a bit more finalized. I'm probably not the best person to ask for ideas on how to get it to work though, unfortunately. -Gul --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
