Re: admin site questions

2015-01-31 7:14 GMT+01:00 Mike <mike.thon@gmail.com>:

I'm building a simple CRUD application to hold some data for our research group.  After 2 hours I have the basic functionality working using the admin site only and no custom views.  I just need to figure out if I can go ahead and deploy it using the admin site as the main user interface. So, my questions are:

1) Is it ok to use the admin site as the main interface to the project? It will not be public facing and will be used by 4-5 people.

2) On the admin page, 'Select [model] to change' can I have those links point to a read only view of the model data and then have that page link to an editable view? I'm thinking that having an extra step will help to prevent accidental updates.

Thanks

Mike

Hi Mike,

1. Sure you can use the admin pages as the main interface for the project. They do work very well and you shouldn't have any issues with them. We are using the admin interface as a backend interface for one of the projects I am working on. The only issue is that sometimes the admin pages are a bit cumbersome to use, otherwise it all "just works".

2. I don't think you can do that easily in django. What you can do is rewrite the index page and use an intermediate page before you go to the change page. But django does not support this functionality without a lot of changes.

Regards,

Andréas
