Enterprise web application with admin interface

[Mario Daniel Carugno]

Hi everyone !

My question is simple:

Is possible (or good) to build an enterprise web application using only the admin interface ?

I've heard that the admin interface is very customizable/extensible, so it sounds like a great idea.

Thanks !

It's very flexible indeed. But depending on the requirements of it you could end fighting the framework. For instance, the permissions check are model based (not instance based neither fields based), the list view has a lot of responsibilities and it'is not so easily extensible.

Again it will depend a lot on your requirements. If you have to change much of it's usual behavior maybe it's better to build something without using Django's admin.

Its been appropriate for our use case and its far more customisable than people realise.  Plus if you use tools like Grappelli or Django Suite you can create a really slick looking interface, into which you can plug customized views  and reporting apps that "go beyond" the basic admin functions.

But it really depends on your use case.  For internal users that are familiar with spreadsheets and, possibly, databases it can work well.  But for external users that really only need access to some simple views and highly customised forms, it will not work.

I would second that - it is completely doable - I have created a corresponding admin interface that is used as a order handling system. It is incredibly expandable and you can create your own views / layouts and so on.

Andréas
