ModelAdmin - added a model_modified hook for full CRUD support

Description

I added a simple hook called model_modified that is called after each insert, update, and delete via the ModelAdmin class. There are times when it's useful to know when a model changes in any way by the user (via the admin app), including delete. The current methodology of overriding the save_model hook does not include delete. The usefulness of this hook over using the model signals for model changes is that you have access to the response object. I used this hook to clear certain session variables that were dependent on the correlating models.

Can you clear up for me why you need a hook here? You have access to model.form.has_changed() in any other hook on the modeladmin, and this looks like overkill for me. Maybe I am missing something.

The has_changed hook doesn't look like it triggers on the delete of a record.

1.2 is feature-frozen, moving this feature request off the milestone.

I think we should go for signals here. There is no need to have some new hooks. If there is a wish for changing the response it can always be passed as an argument. Or a sender can be an admin object itself.

In this way it is not necessary to subclass the admin class.

I'm ok with that. I'll do up the changes.

Resolution: wontfix
Status: newclosed

model_modified duplicates existing functionality for hooking on model changes; I don't like that.

This is really a feature request, please take it to django-developers and try to get consensus on a better way of achieving this goal.

What about my proposal about signals?
