About this fork

Far more intrusive, this fork aims to be lighter and to do less HTTP and DB requests: - Locking is no longer done through AJAX, it's done directly in admin.py - JavaScript vars are exported through a template tag, and not through a JS call to a dynamic view. - Views are included directly in LockableAdmin (through get_url()), there is no longer need for custom decorators (to perform permission checks) nor utils (to fetch lockable models...)

Installation

• Add locking to your INSTALLED_APPS.
• Specify settings #FIXME
• Static files

• For any model that requires locking:

  • Specify locking.models.LockableModel as a model base class.
  • Specify locking.admin.LockableAdmin as a ModelAdmin base class.
  • Specify locking.forms.LockableForm as a base class of the ModelAdmin.form.
  • Add original_locked_at and original_modified_at to ModelAdmin.fields.

• Call {% locking_variables %} in the change_form.html (or in a parent), before any call to locking JS scripts.
