Thanks for reply, I also wanted to ask how would one implement a "approving mechanism". I have a boolean field which says whether an article has been published or not. And I need to have a "Publish" button with each article entry, available only to admins. Does Django support something like this? I just don't want force editors to change 0 to 1 (or False to True, whatever...) when they want to send an article to the frontpage... Another thing is that I need to allow authors to write and edit articles but not publish them but -- wouldn't the approving action be taken as a regular "edit" permission level? So, provided this all, is it more productive to hack that functionality to Django admin or to write a standalone app for this?
