As has been said in many other place - the Admin interface is designed
for Administrators - people who really do need to add, change and/or
delete data ... not just view it.  If you do need this option - have a
look at:

Use admin interface in public facing pages?

2011-03-10 Thread gbl
The admin interface is perfect for the site I'm working on. Automatic
pagination, customizable search fields, filter via boolean or date
fields in a sidebar, clickable sorting on column headings. Easy to
modify

Is there really no way to use all this code in a read-only situation?

Do I have to rewrite all that code or is there some way to use what is
already built in?

Pointers to relevant docs would be great. It seems a variant of this
question is asked frequently so I'm guessing there is no easy way to
do this...but I ask anyway with fingers crossed.

databrowse is cool as well but not customizable, nor as full featured
as the admin interface

The admin interface is nearly exactly what I need to view and search a
databasebut I don't want people editing what they're browsing and
I need to customize the detail view a bit.

I'm new to django so if this is truly basic and I've missed something
my apologies.
