Re: To Use or Not to Use the admin backend

My $.02 cents.  It's great to have around while you're working, but my n00b experience taught me it left a lot to be desired so I rolled my own for the last two projects I built. 

FWIW, a local dev gave this quick presentation, and they did an incredible job on hacking the default admin https://speakerdeck.com/u/pamelafox/p/django-admin-widgetry-and-witchery but she has also said that she's working on a custom admin

So my advice. Use it as the tool that it is. Build what it can't do, don't spend more time on it than you have to.

Hi,

I'm creating a site in Python/Django and feel that the admin backend, as good as it is, may not be a one-fit-for-all situations.

My question is this:

Have any of you ever had a need to have a custom admin backend?

In what example situations would one create his/her own admin backend rather than using the default admin panel that ships with Django?

What are the disadvantages of rewriting your own backend?

Regards,

Frank
