Feature Request: Integration with django-filer
Overview
I'd like to request support for [django-filer](https://github.com/django-cms/django-filer) in Django Unfold. Django-filer is a widely used file management application that provides a polished and user-friendly interface for handling files and images within Django projects.
Why I'm requesting this
First, I want to express how much I love using Django Unfold. The clean, modern UI and thoughtful UX improvements have made admin development a joy rather than a chore. Your attention to design details and performance has made Unfold my go-to choice for all new Django projects.
Value proposition
Integrating django-filer with Unfold would:
- Enhance media management capabilities - django-filer provides robust image/file organization features (folders, categories, permissions) that many businesses require
- Increase adoption potential - Many companies rely on django-filer's functionality, and having native support would make Unfold more attractive to these organizations
- Provide a complete solution - A polished file management UI that matches Unfold's aesthetic would create a more cohesive admin experience
- Benefit the entire community - This integration would make Unfold substantially more valuable for all users, especially those managing content-heavy sites
Technical considerations
The integration would likely involve:
- Custom styling for the django-filer admin views to match Unfold's design system
- Potential enhancements to the file browser/picker to align with Unfold's UX patterns
- Ensuring django-filer's popup windows work seamlessly with Unfold's admin templates
Would you like me to contribute?
I'd be happy to discuss how I might help with this integration. However, I'm currently lacking some fundamental background on how such an implementation would work. If you could point me to any blog posts or examples where something similar has been done, or provide guidance on which principles should be applied for this integration, I'd be eager to give it a shot.
Thank you for considering this request and for your excellent work on Django Unfold!
