Django-shapes

by Kevin Fricovsky

I've yet to dive into GeoDjango completely but I will be in the not so distant future. So compiling a list of reusable apps is always a good idea because you don't want to build the same thing twice. Django-Shapes allows admin users to upload an export shape files. The project page offers some further insight into current features and potential additions.

Django-Batchimport

by Kevin Fricovsky

Allows for automated batch import of django model dats via uploaded Microsoft Excel or CSV file. The django-batchimport reusable application aims to help with this process. It allows you to provide your users with a way to select a model for import, upload an Excel file containing multiple instances of your data (multiple Poll objects, for example) and then either have the system "guess" which column in your spreadsheet goes to which field in your model or have the user select the mapping of column to field, including support for foreign keys.

How to use the same widget as GeoDjango

by Kevin Fricovsky

Code reuse is a good thing! Yann Malet notes "At the end of this post you will be able to use the same widget than the automatically generated admin interface in geodjango. I spent quite sometimes today to rediscover how to do this. Yes, rediscover because I have already written about this a couple of month ago. Happily "jbronn" on #geodjango gave the solution to me."

Django Filebrowser

by Kevin Fricovsky

From prpject site - "The FileBrowser is an extension to the Django Admin-Interface. It allows you to surf directories on the webserver and upload/delete/edit/rename files. It is a tool for editors using the Admin-Interface to make it easier to work with Images/Documents. For the most common cases, it should replace an FTP-Client."

sorl-curator

by Michael Trier

A very cool replacement for the Django Admin. At first it looks just like skinning but you realize there's other nice features like reordering using drag and drop and custom app names and grouping.
