[google-appengine] Re: Admin interface that let's me enter dummy data
Thanks for the response. I just dont see a reason why Google can't allow dummy data to be entered via the built in admin interface. If it can create forms when there is data, why cant it create forms without data? I guess the main reason is that the datastore is schema-less, the models can and will change at runtime. Also, the model classes can be defined and re-defined in any module of the project, I guess it's a non-trivial task to figure out what the final model definition would be. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Google App Engine group.

I guess I'm stuck with that--it works nicely despite trouble getting the stylesheets to load. This seems like such a simple feature for google to implement, I don't understand why they dont.

It's a very nice interface, and all you have to do is define the models/properties you want exposed to the forms for view/edit/etc. http://code.google.com/p/appengine-admin/ Nick On Jan 9, 4:38 am, Alexander Kojevnikov alexan...@kojevnikov.com wrote: Thanks for the response.

You can include the 'shell' application from the official appengine samples with your app, and add/edit/delete the entities from Python shell. Source: http://code.google.com/p/google-app-engine-samples/downloads/list Demo: http://shell.appspot.com/ Don't forget to restrict access to shell, e.g. only to the app admins.

Right now I'm stuck manually creating a form class and url for each models--quite messy.
