"Save as new" should redirect to the created item instead of list view

2016-04-03 Thread Markus Amalthea Magnuson

Add support for unsigned primary keys in MySQL

2015-06-10 Thread Markus Amalthea Magnuson
I've picked up this old ticket: https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/56 After some initial discussions on #django-dev it seems like wontfixing it would be an option too, so I wanted to ask about core devs' view on this: Is implementing opt-in support for unsigned primary keys on MySQL still int

Feature proposal: Conditional block tags

2015-01-30 Thread Markus Amalthea Magnuson
