Quick installation instruction

1. Put frontendadmin in your INSTALLED_APPS in the settings.py of your django project.

2. Add django.core.context_processors.request to your TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS in the settings.py of your django project. If this is not available (default since some days) put this snippet into your settings:

   TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS = (
       'django.core.context_processors.request',
       'django.core.context_processors.auth',
       'django.core.context_processors.debug',
       'django.core.context_processors.i18n',
       'django.core.context_processors.media',
   )
   

3. Include frontendadmin urls in your urlsconf:

   (r'^frontendadmin/', include('frontendadmin.urls')),
   

4. Load the frontendadmin_tags library in every template you want to use the frontendamin links. (see below):

   {% load frontendadmin_tags %}
   

5. There are three templatetags to either create, change or delete objects:

   {% frontendadmin_add "applabel.modelname" %}
   {% frontendadmin_change "applabel.modelname" object.pk %}
   {% frontendadmin_delete "applabel.modelname" object.pk %}
   

   Assumed that you have a weblog application with a model called Entry your template might look so:

   {% for blogentry in object_list %}
   <div class="entry">
    <h2>{{ blogentry.title }}</h2>
    {{ blogentry.body }}
   <div>
   {% endfor %}
   

   A proper implementation of frontendadmin would be:

   {% frontendadmin_add "weblog.entry" %}
   {% for blogentry in object_list %}
   <div class="entry">
    <h2>{{ blogentry.title }}</h2>
    {{ blogentry.body }}
    {% frontendadmin_change "weblog.entry" blogentry.pk %}
    {% frontendadmin_delete "weblog.entry" blogentry.pk %}
   <div>
   {% endfor %}
   

6. Thats all. Frontendadmin will automatically check whether the current user has add/change/delete permissions for the given model.

   Frontendadmin has build-in ajax support using the jquery library. See the template-sources for details.
