Django-Draft

===============

Allow the creation of drafts in the admin. It is compatible with both the default django admin and django-grappelli.

Installation

------------

    pip install git+git://github.com/platypus-creation/django-draft.git

or:

    git clone git://github.com/platypus-creation/django-draft.git

    cd django-draft

    python setup.py install

Add `draft` to your INSTALLED_APPS

    INSTALLED_APPS = (

        ...

        'draft',

    )

Create the database table

    

    python manage.py syncdb

or if you are using South (you should)

    python manage.py migrate draft

You are done.

Django-draft detects if grappelli is installed and will display accordingly.

Usage

-----

Add draft support in the admin to your model by registering them with a DraftAdmin Class which inherits the ModelAdmin Class

    from myapp.models import MyModel

    from draft.admin import DraftAdmin

    class MyModelAdmin(DraftAdmin):

        """

        Declare everything as usual here

        """

        pass

    

    

    admin.site.register(MyModel, MyModelAdmin)

    

You should now have a save as draft button available in the admin for this model !

As soon as you have a draft, you'll be able to reload it later, or discard it

Under the hood

--------------

Django draft save the serialized current form and is able to reload it later. It has no knowledge of your models whatsoever, it simply saves a query dict and is able to reload it in Javascript.
