Is it correct? Then the front is also some how dynamic it must have a way to pull all the «content» dependencies and render them. The front you can use something similar to this<https://gist.github.com/4476673> . For the backend, the admin can do that, you will need to tweak a bit the admin so that it renders the correct form (or formset) depending on the user permissions. If this is correct, I don't know any app or framework that does what you are looking for in generic way except the admin with tweaking, but it could be fun to do ;) Regards, Amirouche -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
