django admin_tools et file edition

[vassilux]

Hi alls,

It is my first django project and   I look for a solution to edit files, for exemple allow to an "advanced user" editing configuration files.

I looked into django-ckeditor  but it is not clear for the moment

Where  I can look for informations / examples ?

Thanks

CKEditor is appropriate for files that need solid typography and formatting. If you're looking for something simpler, Markdown is a common solution. Markdown is a markup syntax widespread on internet forums.

None of those really address "configuration files," though. Is fancy formatting actually the problem you're trying to solve? Are you trying to find a way to save and edit files on a hard drive? Save text to a database to affect the behavior of your website? Something else?

One part of the configuration can be loaded from the database and it works well. 

I have to edit some files of asterisk ipbx.

 

May be I can overload save / load methodes of djaongo model ?

Or make a "service for file " into server side of my application, à la "restful"  ?

Ignoring security concerns for a moment, you could make a view that loads a file (using the standard os library) and passes the contents to a textarea in a template if the request has the GET method, and saves the contents back to the file if the request has the POST method.
