Hello all, I have a suggestion for improving the tabular inline view of the admin site (contained in <django path>/contrib/admin/templates/admin/edit_inline/tabular.html). I recently overloaded this template for my own purposes, and am wondering if the Django community would find my changes useful. If so, I suppose I'll polish the code a bit more and submit a patch.
Currently, the tabular inline view looks like this (below). Please note that in this picture the fields are marked as read only, but the option to edit them in-place is provided by Django. <https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-vb6vgkMkYmQ/UDzpoC1JmFI/AAAAAAAAARg/pq-NU-IQDEI/s1600/Original.png> I modified the template to look like this: <https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-5Sna636H1xo/UDzqOHIyFZI/AAAAAAAAARo/NFzOPnRxl2U/s1600/Modification.png> My initial thoughts for the improvement are: - If the first field in the row is *read only* then: - Provide a link to the relevant object. - Compact the height of each row by not displaying the object's string representation (i.e. the __unicode__ function). - No link would be provided if the user does not have permission to change the object. - Otherwise, if the first field in the row is *editable* then: - Provide a link to the relevant object by keeping the object's string representation (as displayed in the first picture, above). Thoughts? If I get a +1 from some of the core devs on this then I'll start working on a patch. -- Dylan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
