Generic Foreign Keys should have a nice widget(ala raw_id)

[Alex Gaynor]

It would be nice if generic foreign keys could have a nice widget for the admin, right now they aren't very usable.

Work on this can be found here:

(sorry not at a machine where I can produce a proper diff right now).

Thanks for this! In case somebody is trying to get this to work on 1.2. you would have to add:

def label_for_value(self, value):
    return ''

to the GenericForeignKeyRawIdWidget class. otherwise it'll fail.

Greetings

Updated patch to current trunk

I've updated the patch to current trunk and fixed the tests. I haven't examined the UI in detail yet though. Feedback and patches welcome.

Updated patch to r17313

I updated the patch to current trunk. I also fixed a typo in one of the raised exceptions and changed the Image model to use a CharField rather than an ImageField. I didn't see a good reason to require PIL to run the tests. I didn't examine the UI.

Thanks for updating the patch. Now that we've got Selenium support, it'd be also quite useful to write some Selenium tests for the Javascript part.
