I remember we've discussed that on the dev-list a while ago: ​http://groups.google.com/group/django-developers/browse_thread/thread/611425acc40b78bb

I think something in the lines of:

class MyModelAdmin (admin.ModelAdmin)
    fields = ['name', 'bio', 'url', 'date_signup']
    readonly = ['date_signup']

I can see 2 cases where you'd want to display the field but not edit it:

  • fields that have editable=False and that are present in the fields/fieldsets admin options. Those would automatically be rendered read-only.
  • fields that are intrinsically editable, but that you want to be editable only by some administrators and not by others.
