alright, I´ve been trying to implement the most basic functionality
and here´s what I came up with. Please note that this is just a draft
in order to explain what I´ve been talking about. It works ok, but it
probably can be done better.
thanks,
patrick
– SETTINGS.PY
ADMIN_COLLECTIONS = [
{
'name': 'Main Content',
'classes': 'highlight',
'show_apps': True,
'apps': ['movies', 'stars', 'trailer']
},
{
'name': 'User Management',
'show_apps': False,
'apps': ['auth', 'grappelli']
}
]
– SITES.PY
for collection in ADMIN_COLLECTIONS:
app_list = []
for app in collection['apps']:
app_list.append(app_dict[app])
collection['app_list'] = app_list
context = {
'title': _('Site administration'),
'app_list': app_list,
'collection_list': ADMIN_COLLECTIONS,
'root_path': self.root_path,
}
– INDEX.HTML:
{% for collection in collection_list %}
<div class="module">
<table summary="{% blocktrans with app.name as name %}Models
available in the {{ name }} application.{% endblocktrans %}">
<caption><a href="{{ app.app_url }}" class="section">{%
blocktrans with collection.name as name %}{{ name }}{% endblocktrans %}
</a></caption>
{% for app in collection.app_list %}
{% if collection.show_apps %}
<tr>
<th>{{ app.name }}</th>
</tr>
{% endif %}
{% for model in app.models %}
<tr>
{% if model.perms.change %}
<th scope="row"><a href="{{ model.admin_url }}">
{{ model.name }}</a></th>
{% else %}
<th scope="row">{{ model.name }}</th>
{% endif %}
{% if model.perms.add %}
<td><a href="{{ model.admin_url }}add/"
class="addlink">{% trans 'Add' %}</a></td>
{% else %}
<td> </td>
{% endif %}
{% if model.perms.change %}
<td><a href="{{ model.admin_url }}"
class="changelink">{% trans 'Change' %}</a></td>
{% else %}
<td> </td>
{% endif %}
</tr>
{% endfor %}
{% endfor %}
</table>
</div>
{% endfor %}
