Admin template variable reference

2006-11-03 Thread iain duncan
Sorry if this is not the right place to ask, but I got no response on the user list, so I guess no one knows or something. Does there exist somewhere a full reference to every template variable available to the admin templates? I think this would be very useful. I looked but couldn't find one, s

2006-10-27 Thread iain duncan
Possibly unneeded, but may be useful. It seems to me that Django is hitting the point now where the biggest problem ( or at least soon ) will be figuring out to properly manage development growth. And python has such a massive talented hacker base that there is both the possibility of attracting a

Hello fellow djangoers. I've been doing a gallery site that is too image heavy for it's own good ( yes, I'm subcontracted by a graphic designer ... ), and am trying to find good ways to control image loading so that the user will wait and then see all the numerous and large images at the same time

I asked about this on the user list and was told it has been noticed as an issue, but in the meantime, I need to find a way to make sure that in the admin interface related entries ( through tables connected by a foreign key ) do not get automatically deleted, but rather have the foreign key in qu
