Hi,

Hmm, Daniel Greenfeld (pydanny) seems to have written another one, 
DjangoAdmin 2.0 as well:

Re: Django Admin Revamp - Any updates?

[Victor Hooi]

Hi,

I just found ActiveAdmin, which seems to be a third-party Admin app for RoR:

http://activeadmin.info/

What are people's thoughts on this?

It seems to share quite a bit with Django's admin, but also has some nice 
features:

   - Inbuilt CSV/XML/JSON downloads
   - Easily customizable navigation bar
   - "Scopes" - subsections?
   - "Index Styles" - different versions of the index page (table, grid, 
   blocks, blog)
   - Customizable Sidebar

Anything we could use here to give us ideas for our own Admin efforts?

Cheers,
Victor

Héllo Victor,

I moved everything to an orgnanization named django-composite, I took the
name from *Travis S. *from the wiki, thanks to him, I find it great, it is
exactly that: https://github.com/django-composite/django-composite-admin

That said I didn't push for sometime now. I will probably make a
mini-annoucement on the user list so that people can give their feedback
regarding current admin solutions and AdminNext.

I prepared a presentation, so you might want to look at it:
https://speakerdeck.com/amiramazig/django-composite

Spoiler: It's somekind of
HMVC
or
since Django use MVT name, HMVT. So far it has been proven overkill for the
admin, but can be useful for middly complex widgets (Modal, Caroussel,
Collapse), at least it looks promising to me, I don't have editing yet, so
I will probably send a mail once this is done.

Thanks for your interest,

Amirouche

Could you provide more insights about the issues you encounter while using 
and trying to extend the admin or better update the wiki page

creating such a wiki page, gathering requirements and so on, would be a
good next step.

The other thing I would point out is that admin is a contrib app for a
reason -- it's a standalone app. It's entirely possible to recreate
everything Django's admin does as a third party application. If a third
party admin implementation were to appear that had a better feature set
than the existing admin, and/or a better codebase to start from, and there
was a reasonable migration path from old admin configurations to new admin
configurations, *that* might be a viable way to get a new admin into Django.

However, all of this is dependent on someone having enough of an itch, and
enough spare time to scratch it.

Yours,
Russ Magee %-)

Is there a wiki page on the admin and changes that are planned for it?  This 
comes up every few months with a "hey, I've done X with the admin, can we just 
use it to replace/update contrib.admin?"  Would be nice to have everyone's (and

I'm not sure if it's worth mentioning ...

2. Secure CRUD one-liner goal

The new admin app should, like the current admin app, allow the user to 
enable full secure (permission-based) CRUD in one line of code.

As I just blogged: "Last year, I sent a letter to santa asking for 12 
transformers with super laser powers. I waited nicely and then received a 
little playmobil."

A couple of "clear, simple goals", you ask:

0. Loose coupling goal

The new admin app should not include ChangeList (ie. django-tables2), form 
rendering (ie. django-floppy-forms), queryset filtering (ie. 
django-filter), etc, etc 

1. KISS goal

The new admin app should not try to abstract the basics of Django elegant 
design. Instead of: admin.site.register(Foo, FooAdmin). I could use: 
url(r'myapp/foo/', admin.ListView.as_view(table=FooTableClass, 
filters=FooListFilters), name='myapp_foo_list'). Of course, I could use a 
shortcut / factory / something cool. But the new admin app would be so 
simple I wouldn't need ModelAdmin and I could override anything easily and 
I could even reuse parts of it in my own views (see "Loose coupling").

Hope this helps.

Re: Django Admin Revamp - Any updates?

[Riccardo Forina]

The problem with the external app approach is that it will break the
integration between different apps. There is no way to avoid it.
Besides, developing something for the django.contrib.admin with an UI up to
the recent standards is quite difficult.

Going Bootstrap is not only the thing of the moment, is a great way to open
the admin app to a wide range of custom widgets already available to the
Bootstrap ecosystem, with the nice plus of an out-of-the-box support for
mobile devices. Commercially speaking, it's a winning choice.

I think that the actual fragmentation of the admin-bootstrap
implementations is pretty bad for the django ecosystem. No one sane of mind
would base his project on any of the available solutions because there is
no official one, and new releases of Django may (will) break it.

In my opinion, the solution is easy. The core team should choose a
project/team, bless it and wait to see how it will evolve. When ready,
integrate it on the core and made it available as an _alternative_ to the
default admin package.

Re: Django Admin Revamp - Any updates?

[James Pic]

There are *many* apps providing bootstrap templates for
django.contrib.admin, here a few:

- https://github.com/michaelhelmick/django-bootstrap-admin
- https://github.com/gkuhn1/django-admin-templates-twitter-bootstrap
- https://github.com/riccardo-forina/django-admin-bootstrapped
- https://github.com/aobo711/bootstrap-django-admin
- I myself did such templates.

My thoughts, in case it helps:

- it takes just a few hours to convert Django admin to bootstrap, that's
probably why there are so many admin/bootstrap apps out there,
- but it's better to tweak colors, just converting the HTML to bootstrap
ends in a too "grayish", "sad" interface IMHO,
- it's a very popular demand - again that's why there are so many apps out
there,
- it's a great opportunity to make a cool navbar,
- forms don't have .as_bootstrap() method, but django-forms-bootstrap
provides |as_bootstrap. That's required for the admin/bootstrap integration
to be "perfect", but optional to make it "good enough".
- this can live in external apps anyway ...

If I'm not mistaken the new admin interface couldn't be builded because none of 
the django core developers had the resources and time to start on such a large 
task.
Has the perhaps changed ?

Re: Django Admin Revamp - Any updates?

[Victor Hooi]

Hi,

Wow, that does look nice =).

I know it's just a re-skin, but I do like the look.

It'll be curious to see whether the Django Core team would look at using 
this, and/or whether they're doing a deeper overhaul of the Admin 
interface...

Cheers,
Victor

Re: Django Admin Revamp - Any updates?

[Riccardo Forina]

Hi all,

I have an alpha version of a restyling of the django admin done with 
Bootstrap here: https://github.com/riccardo-forina/django-admin-bootstrapped
Based on my personal experience - I'm using it on several production sites 
- it's working pretty well. 

Maybe it can be a starting point for the UI revamp everybody is expecting. 
What do you think?

Riccardo

Hi,

Aha, I didn't realise he live in Tel Aviv. Perhaps I should FB stalk people
more *grins*.

Well, our prayers are with you, Idan, hope you're keeping safe =).

Re: Django Admin Revamp - Any updates?

For the record: It's bad timing for Idan.  He lives in Tel Aviv which
is currently receiving intermittent rocket attacks.  He may be a bit

Let's wish him and his family safety and the luxury of worrying about

Re: Django Admin Revamp - Any updates?

There is a project to create a third-party django admin. It is currently 
moving slowly, but it does have basic admin functionality.

https://github.com/django-djam/django-djam
irc: Freenode/#django-djam (if you want to ping me about it.)

Re: Django Admin Revamp - Any updates?

[Christian Bertschy]

Hi everyone

At Divio we are working on a new look of the Django Admin for our projects. 
To be clear, it's just the looks. I agree 100% with Idan that a real revamp 
should consider not only the looks but also rethink the way the admin works 
(and we all know that this is a huge difference :-)). 

But in the meantime: https://github.com/divio/djangocms-admin-style

It's still in beta, but feel free to use it or even better contribute to it.

Here are some screenshots:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/oicwr3g4wu9x1z1/VymKkK2FZM

Have fun,

Christian

Re: Django Admin Revamp - Any updates?

[Christian Bertschy]

Hi everyone

At Divio we are working on a new look of the Django Admin for our projects. 
To be clear, it's just the looks. I agree 100% with Idan that a real revamp 
should consider not only the looks but also rethink the way the admin works 
(and we all know that this is a huge difference :-)). 

But in the meantime: https://github.com/divio/djangocms-admin-style

It's still in beta, but feel free to use it or even better contribute to it.

Here are some screenshots:
https://docs.google.com/a/divio.ch/folder/d/0BzukahwPSnHuVjZWdUtrcndBUVE/edit

Have fun,

Christian

Re: Django Admin Revamp - Any updates?

[Victor Hooi]

Hi,

I'm guessing there aren't any updates on this? Lol.

Idan - you mentioned you'd like to get thoughts on what we hope to achieve 
in a new admin - basically, what is the purpose of Django's contrib.admin - 
is that right?

Is there some place that people can brainstorm or contribute their thoughts 
on this? Should somebody make a wiki page for collecting all this?

Cheers,
Victor

Re: Django Admin Revamp - Any updates?

I agree with Idan. We mainly did Grappelli because of the look & feel (and 
then added some functionality like autocompletes).

However, it just doesn´t make sense to simply "beautify" the existing 
admin-interface. Rethinking the functionality, adding flexibility, being 
able to customize ... these are all necessary steps IMHO, but I´m still 
missing a clear approach/roadmap on how/when this should happen.

I planned to give a talk on djangocon.eu about how to improve the 
admin-interface. Unfortunately, I had to step back from that idea because 
of some customer-related projects. Still, the thoughts are there and I´m 
happy to discuss this issue anytime. This discussion could start with 
defining the so-called "trusted editor" – what does he/she knows resp. 
needs to know when dealing with the admin-interface? What are the 
consequences (e.g., does an editor care about an app-list, does he even 
know what it is)? What working-groups do we need (python, html/css, js, 
...)? How can we publish the process/discussion? And much more ... let´s 
start ... but how?

Fair enough, but that sort of flexibility is available now. Nothing is 
preventing you from starting your 3rd-party admin app today.



The issue is Django's officially-blessed, officially-documented admin. I'm not 
sure it's better to have admin in contrib (or contrib at all, but that's a 
separate ball of wax). I have a feeling that this issue will probably be 
addressed once again now that we're on github.

All the same, if there's going to be an official django admin, I'd like it to 
give some thought to the issues I've raised. I have no problem (read: would 
love) to draw upon existing solutions for an admin revamp, but right now I 
don't have a fitness function to guide my decisions, and I think that is 
necessary. Not a spec, just an attempt to step back and think about what the

Re: Django Admin Revamp - Any updates?

[Brett H]

Now that django is on github the best thing that could happen is to
set it free and split it out as a separate django-admin repository
that people can build on, and making site something like site =
load_admin_site(settings.ADMIN_SITE) so that people can do drop in
replacements. Not just that but splitting out the templates and static
assets into a django-admin-originaltheme repository.

In this fashion projects like grappelli can proceed in an opinionated
fashion on making changes to the admin as they see fit but remaining
compatible with the ModelAdmin specifications, and django can pull
back in the consensus commits. Grappelli does a lot of things right,
but now I'm wanting to drop twitter bootstrap in on top of it, and
tomorrow something else might be flavour of the month.

Increasing the flexibility for development and integration is more
important than trying to 2nd guess where we are going to be in 5 years
time.

Re: Django Admin Revamp - Any updates?

[Idan Gazit]

As I wrote, I'd like to have a clear idea of what a new admin will accomplish 
before starting to bolt on enhancements, even great enhancements like grappelli.

The admin was an impressively future-proof design, given that it is still so 
useful years after it was designed. We should aim to make an admin that will be 
relevant and useful five years from now; we can't design for that without a 
couple of clear, simple goals. Grappelli may or may not align with those goals.

Re: Django Admin Revamp - Any updates?

[Idan Gazit]

Hey all,

Yeah, you aren't missing anything — originally I wanted to wait for the 
formrendering stuff, but that never panned out, and then I got busy.

Grappelli is lovely. Without knocking it at all, I think that the next version 
of the admin should be as forward-looking as the last version, which means 
rethinking what the admin does, not just how it looks. Unfortunately, I haven't 
stepped up to champion this beyond idle thoughts.

As noted, "don't hold your breath" would be wise. Even if we did jump in on an 
admin rewrite tomorrow, the fruits of that labour won't be one release in the 
making. The transition would probably resemble newforms, with "newadmin" 
appearing alongside "admin" in one release, then admin deprecated to "oldadmin" 
for one release, and finally disappearing after that. We wouldn't even release 
"newadmin" as a thing until we had something functional and mostly stable. I 
don't see much point in speculating when that might happen.
