Automatic Admin Systems - Semantics with Rails & Django
January 18th, 2008
The Magically Appearing Admin
Web developers using an MVC framework produce their websites playing with their models, views and controllers. Then by adding a few lines of magic an admin system appears which allows users to add/edit/delete/view/search their models.
Examples:
Django’s Magic Admin (Also NewFormsAdmin - a branch of Django focused on making it easier to customise auto-admin)
Ruby on rails Plugins:
- Streamlined framework - http://streamlinedframework.org/
- Admin magic/config - outside of the models
- Auto-Admin - http://code.trebex.net/auto-admin
- Admin magic/config - inside the models
