I've always considered the admin interface to be a fallback for administrators to repair any problems that arise with the site's data. That's not its only function, but it's one that I expect would come in very handy on a production site. If you discover a bug somewhere that allows improper data to creep into your database, the admin interface is a good place to fix that. The reason being that any forms you specify are going to rely on your application's logic, and thus might be prone to bugs if the data isn't what it expects. The admin interface, however, doesn't really care about how your app does business, so it will happily let you view/edit/delete whatever you'd like, as long as it doesn't violate database requirements. I don't know if that helps you or not, but it's my thought on the matter. -Gul --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
