Admin refactoring

2010-02-10 Thread PauloS
Currently it is easy to change the template engine in a Django project, but if you change the ORM layer you lost the whole Admin thing, the very app that made Django so special. If we are talking about refactoring Admin code (not only html/css stuff), do you guys think it can be more decoupled fro

When dealing with FormSets, you can have them arbitrarily ordered because they accept a queryset argument. This is not true for inlines. The patch on Ticket #10263 make InLineFormSet consistent with FormSet and gives you complete freedom to filter/order inlines. I use it a lot and hope to see it

InlineFormSet is perfect to build spreadsheet-like grid interfaces, but for a good user experience the form elements need to have consistent order across GET-after-POST cycles. Currently this happens BY ACCIDENT in most SGBD backends, and I think relying on accidents is bad programming style. The

Hi, I have a related patch (#10263). I have an application where I rendered my inline forms like an spreadsheet, the effect when the user saves the form and the row order changes is very unpleasant. This bug does not show up often because most databases other than Postgres return unordered queri

Hi all, At inlineformset_factory and BaseInlineFormSet? constructor there is no option to specify order_by criteria for the resulting queryset. The record order at the rendered formset will depend on the order returned by the database layer; notably PostgreSQL may change this order after every u
