Hello,
I came across the idea of having a new permissions widget that display basic permissions (add,change & delete) in a tabular format, and fall back to FilteredSelectMultiple for any extra custom permissions
The merits of having this widget are:
1- Setting the permissions is more easy and user friendly, especially when the project have dozens of models.
2- The permissions are translated (fixes ticket
1688), since the html table is initially constructed via the apps and models themselves which give access to verbose_names.
I created a ticket
#25891 marked wont fix with a suggestion to build it in a third party and come back to you when i have something working, which exactly what i'm doing now. :-)
The newly created widget
django-tabular-permission can be found here
https://github.com/RamezIssac/django-tabular-permissionsWith screen shots available right on the README.
Congratulations on the MOSS grant,
Django (& you valuable community) are the best.
Kind regards;
Ramez
