AFAIK this is a non-issue with BSD. Under BSD, LJW can do anything with code that becomes part of Django, and so can anybody else. If you copyright your code, that's independent from you submitting it as a patch or committing it to the project. Committers must be able to attest that the code they

I think it's great you were able to get that much mileage out of the admin styles in your app. If other people see a benefit in doing the same, you've certainly proven it's possible. I still don't consider it within the scope of the admin application to provide a public interface for your app. On

That should be possible with the changes to stylesheets in magic-removal. Also, nothing should be preventing you from copying the admin styles and modifying them to be specific to your own needs. On 4/10/06, Christopher Lenz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Am 07.04.2006 um 17:03 sc

My point is not that you should or shouldn't have to write your own form code. My point is that (in my mind anyway) needing to write your own styles is not a barrier to reusing the admin form code. Styling forms (once) is a lot less tedious than writing them (over and over). And style is somethin

I'm open to being convinced otherwise, but I don't see it as within the scope of the admin CSS to accomodate being embedded in other interfaces. We've discussed this internally before and the general consensus was that if you're reusing the admin templates and code in your public site (which is g

The whole concept of projects in Django is that they aren't tied to sites. You can use the same project across multiple sites and use multiple projects on one site. On 3/2/06, Ian Holsman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > a 'site' in django terminology refers to a instance of your > application runn

I think we should be as toolkit-agnostic as we are templatesystem-agnostic and ORM-agnostic. We deliver one with Django,and all Django code builds on the delivered ones. But we don't enforcethose on users, if they want to use something else. +1 - well putĀ

That's a red herring. Nothing in that plan precludes using an existing AJAX library. If Dojo or Mochikit or whatever else out there does what we need it to for the admin, then the end result will be that we "integrate" that particular AJAX framework and build in some access points to make it easy f

I think this all sounds great. I also think Adrian's point in his post about AJAX support is very valid here. Any support for AJAX in Django should come from real needs in a real project.As Rob pointed out in an earlier thread, once the new-admin changes are rolled in, the project to fix the edit_i

The arrow next to "Local vars" on the 500 page seems the wrong wayround to me.

+1 for hugo's suggestion. A tarball now gives us a "stable" version to point people to before we start knocking off backwards-incompatible changes. A finalized roadmap for 1.0 puts the target in sight. And 0.9 says "we're almost there". All in favor On 11/9/05, Jeremy Dunck <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrot
