Hi guys!
I'm porting a webware application to django. I really like the autogenerated admin interface of django and the url design is terrific :D, these project I'm porting has an own way to manipulate the data from database, it uses MochiKit and SQLObject to do that. So I change from SQLObject to django models but I wanted to keep the admin interface I devel on webware. No problem. I start to made views extending the admin/base_site.html. I could get the same layout of the other admin sections. Now, my questions: 1) I couldn't hack the /admin/appname/modelname/ url, instead of this, I need to rewrite the index page of administration and point to another url like /appname/admin/, I think this is because admin URLConf is loaded after my application URLConf (even if my application is the last of the INSTALLED_APPS. Is there a way to hack that url? 2) I could use the same layout of the admin pages extending admin/base_site.html but I couldn't use the login information, e.g the welcome line does not appear on the top of admin page, nor the logout link. Can I have access to user login? 3) My application is a yoga scholl website, the part I want to keep my way is a classes manipulation. First I give to the user a calendar with the 3 next months, it should select a day and with MochiKit+json I do all the insert/remove/update of classes. I work with dates, the database model return the dates as datetime.date or datetime.time objects. When I used sqlobject I do a property that converts the date to a proper strftime string. What is the recommended approach with django? I can do a property like in sqlobject but I want to know if it's better to keep this conversion on the view instead of the model. 4) I make use of json in my application, reading the django docs I don't find anything pointing on how to work with json so I think on 2 ways, the first I could make an decorator to the function, the function will return a python object and the decorator should take care of create the HttpResponse and write the json to it. This way is too turbogears :D, on a django way I can make a shortcut function, say json_to_response. I already done this function, do you are interested in this function (it's very simple, it made use of simplejson), I can send a patch to the django/shortcuts.py. Well, I certainly have more questions I can't remember now, it's 3:00 am, sorry :D. I'm very happy with django, thanks for this great framework. I only miss a independent form validation, or I don't find it yet, but i'm reading all I can ;).
