Hi,
I'm writing an application which makes a pretty heavy use of the
newforms-admin administrative site.

One recurring need is displaying of informative fields (fields which should
not be editable from the admin site, but only viewed).
For example, imagine to have a DateField field into a Story class, which is
automatically updated every time a user writes a new story. It is
desiderable to see this value in the admin site, but has no sense (actually
is wrong) to allow modifications to it.

Note that this is different from the purpose of the 'editable' attribute,
what I'm talking about is a presentation-only feature, and for this reason
we could put it into ModelAdmin classes:

class StoryOptions(admin.ModelAdmin):
    readonly_fields = ('lastupdate',)

People have been asking this a lot of times, at least here:

http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/342
http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/611
http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/1714
http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/3990

Is there a working solution to display this kind of readonly data in the
admin site?

Thank you
