Maybe you are right and this is the solution my current Python/Django knowledge seems to be sufficient for. But, this is 'quick and dirty' solution and I'm affraid I can't present it to my Boss without a risk I'd be fired and we can't interface out users/customers to such kind of interface in 21th century... > admin != user > Atleast that's my view. I don't agree in that point - from my perspective Django seems to be the system, which is used by admins only (admin == user), because admin's interface is pretty and much more user friendly comparing with techniques for building ordinary user interface described in documentation/tutorials, even if admins are used to talk to machines via text mode consoles :-O I'm going mad if it is true that there is a valuable piece of software, which is not possible to reuse in Django based applications. Please, is there any other solution than copy functions from admin.main module and modify source code properly?

admin != user Atleast that's my view. As tempting as the pretty admin interface might be, I think you would be better off rolling your own form and view for end users. Then you have complete control. Using the form_for_* functions you could have the whole thing done in a few minutes. fetch user profile. form_for_instance on user profile in the post procesing double check userid then do a form.save() and redirect. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

How to use Admin modules in my application
Hi everybody, I'd like to take advantage of Admin modules to edit some my models e.g. user profile by navigating user to /admin/myapp/// to open change form. 1. I should check, whether is the same as request.user.id to prevent user from editing a foreign user record. But I don't know how to implement this. Perhaps by overriding some model's method or listening for a suitable signal. 2. In the related admin's template I need somehow override tag submit_row to hide all buttons except Save one. As well, I have no idea how to do this. 3. Finally, is my conception of using Admin modules this way feasible per se? Please, could somebody enlighten me on this?
