Admin interface fields should be customizable

[RahmCoff@…]

While radio_admin is useful, this should be more general. If someone wants a custom date field, it shouldn't require tinkering with the source code. Personally, I want to use it for ForeignKey fields when the reference table has over 1000 entries.

An example of how I see it.

class Album(meta.Model):
    title = meta.CharField(maxlength=30) 
    artist = meta.ForeignKey(Artist, admin_interface = 'app/my_artist_template')
    format = meta.CharField(maxlength=4, choices = CD_OR_LP, admin_interface = django.whatever.radio_admin)

I create a small template (that gets used again in the public interface) that creates just the code for the field. Somewhere there's an example template that's just perfect for radio choice fields.

ha ha, radio fields for your music admin, that's wonderful :)

This is one of the design goals in the NewformsAdminBranch. However it won't be changed in the current admin branch.
