Do we need to Integrate an admin solution

[pfouque]

Multiple libraries were created to handle django-fsm from the admin (but none of them have been updated in the last 3 years)

• django-fsm-admin: The main one
• django-fsm-admin-lite: Pure backend solution created by @etchegom
• django-fsm-admin2: Was created to handle transitions' arguments

To me, it would make sense to embed such a solution in the main project (if it doesn't increase too much the maintenance duty)

What do you think?

After a first investigation, I'd like to mix these 2 solutions as they are light and have interesting features:

• django-fsm-admin-lite is really light and works with a secured POST request.
• django-fsm-admin2: the ability to declare an intermediate form is a real game changer.

On top of that, it would be nice to add fsm-log support

NB: They are both licensed as MIT, but I'll try to contact the maintainers

@pfouque Please let me know what I can do to assist. I'd like to see your idea of incorporating the best of those packages into an integrated admin module for this project.

Hi @peterfarrell,

This one is almost complete: #49

It recently reached the feature set of django-fsm-admin (but with an alternative solution, lighter).
It's mainly waiting for feedback, especially from people migrating from django-fsm-log (I'm still wondering if the best strategy is to override the template, or declare a read_only property...)

Feel free to test and share your experience!

Thanks

NB: This one was much easier, especially on the scope to target and I already started the next step (unpublished yet) to provide the custom form integration (inspired from django-fsm-admin2).
