Re: create models from the admin page?

It looks like I'm not the only one thinking about these ideas, Django devs themselves have proposed this as one of the ideas for SOC coders: "create a project and super user with one command line statement, fire up the development web server, and import/create/refine your model using live data fr

Re: create models from the admin page?

A web-based model editor is not an easy task. I think vi is the right modeller tool (after a paper/pencil session) or emacs if you're a pianist. For GUI-tools-aficionados I'd rather devote the effort to write code generators for apps like umbrello [http://uml.sourceforge.net/index.php]. A lot ea

Re: create models from the admin page?

By users I meant users of the Django framework, not end-users. Since my last post I came across a few models (the ones you suggested) that do have a great deal more logic than I expected. I still believe that many 'developers' could benefit from defining simple to moderately complex models on th

Re: create models from the admin page?

create models from the admin page?

I just started looking at Django, looks very interesting. However, couldn't models be defined in the admin page, rather than in python code? In fact, is there a reason why we couldn't download django, run the embedded web server, go to the admin page and do every thing there (except templates)?
