Description

There is a very useful documentation page describing how to quickly port 0.96 application to 1.0. I found the following problems while porting a real world application:

  • No information on how to update manage.py in your projects.
  • The following section should be moved up, since one might complete the translation by hand before even encounter the comment below:

"See also

A contributor to djangosnippets has written a script that'll scan your models.py and generate a corresponding admin.py."

  • Typos:

"the framework as been rewritten" => "the framework has been rewritten"

The porting HOWTO does not mention that the js attribute won't work any more for the Admin classes, but they should be moved into the new nested class Media. It is mentioned in the newforms documentation, however. It affects the application only if it has any custom scripts for the admin interface, like the ones required to integrate FCKEditor or TinyMCE for easy HTML authoring.

Instead of:

class ContentAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    ...
    js = ('/media/fckeditor/fckeditor.js',
          '/media/js/admin_content.js')

You have to write:

class ContentAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    ...
    class Media:
        js = ('/media/fckeditor/fckeditor.js',
              '/media/js/admin_content.js')

So you have such a nested class structure as before.

No changes to manage.py are required in normal porting, so that's a moot point. For the rest, please create a patch to make it easier to apply this.
