thanks for the info...
is there perhaps a better way to put arbitrary info into the
Recent_Actions list?
or maybe i'll describe the scenario:
the application is 99% django-admin.
plus, we need a VERY simple filemanager so that the user can manage his
files on the server. it's a very basic os.listdir => table-with-foreach
style view.
now, i have a model called DirectoryMapping:
class DirectoryMapping(Model):
name = SlugField(maxlength=100,unique=True)
directory = CharField(maxlength=500)
which are created in the admin interface.
and then there's a view where i list all these mappings, and when the
user picks one,
i list him the content of the "directory" directory. here he can delete
files and/or upload files.
(for now let's ignore the fact that if the user could learn/user winscp,
things would be simpler :-)
now the question is, how to integrate these views the best way into the
admin?
for now i have a custom index.html, which simply contains a link to the
list of directoryMappings. and when the user uploads/deletes files, i
create the "yellow" status messages (request.user.add_message), and the
LogEntry objects.
are there any better approaches?
gabor
is there perhaps a better way?
