Hello fellow djangonauts, I'd like to implement an admin page (field, widget, template... whatever) to edit xml-formatted contents of TextFields. Every child node of the xml data has to be editable in a *separate* TextField.
Simple example: I want to store some information about books, but for every book there is a different set of information available. So I am going to store the xml-formatted information set into a single TextField. (Unfortunately it is not possible to split up the information set into a 1:n-relation - for internal reasons). The only information available for all books is the book's name. So I define this Book class: class Book(models.Model): name = models.CharField('name of the book', max_length=200) infoset_xml = models.TextField('additional info') The contents of infoset_xml are expected to look like this: <infoset> <info type="author">John Smith</info> <info type="pagecount">234</info> </infoset> or <infoset> <info type="publishing_date">>1987-06-05</info> <info type="pagecount">42</info> <info type="price">$1,50</info> </infoset> The "ordinary user"'s admin page should contain one TextField for the book's name and one additional TextField for every info-node within infoset_xml. The "administrator"'s admin page should contain one TextField for the book's name and one TextField for editing the raw infoset_xml. Unfortunately I've failed in implemeting the "ordinary user"'s admin page (using MultiValueField and MultiWidget, and lxml for xml parsing). The problem is, that it's not determined how many info-nodes infoset_xml may contain. So the admin page has to dynamically adapt to the number of info-nodes. Is that possible? I'm desperately hoping that somebody can give me a hint on how to implement it.
