Django cradmin 4.0.0 releasenotes¶

What is new?¶

Cleanup of most of the leftovers from cradmin 1.x
cradmin_legacy compatibility. The cradmin_legacy library is a fork of the django_cradmin 1.x branch, which can be used alongside django_cradmin >= 4.0.0.

Migrate from 3.x to 4.x¶

Update for ievv buildstatic builds¶

If you use ievv buildstatic to build your sass, you need to update to ievv-opensource >= 4.5.0. You can, and should:

update your ievvbuildstatic.sassbuild.Plugin in the IEVVTASKS_BUILDSTATIC_APPS setting to cradmin_ievvbuildstatic.SassBuild. You will also need to add from django_cradmin.utils import cradmin_ievvbuildstatic.

Remove:

ievvbuildstatic.mediacopy.Plugin(
    sourcefolder=ievvbuildstatic.filepath.SourcePath('django_cradmin_styles', 'media'),
    destinationfolder='media'
),

Add @import 'autogenerated_partials/variables'; to the top of your main.scss, or whatever your main scss source file is.

The reason why you do not need to mediacopy the “media” directory is that cradmin_ievvbuildstatic.SassBuild sets the sass variable $media-path to point to the files from django_cradmin_styles. The $media-path variable is imported from autogenerated_partials/variables.

Deprecated apps, and how to handle the deprecation¶

Deprecated: cradmin_imagearchive¶

The django_cradmin.apps.cradmin_imagearchive app has been deprecated and moved to django_cradmin.deprecated_apps.cradmin_imagearchive`, and the database model has been renamed from ``ArchiveImage to ArchiveImageDeprecated.

The cradmin_imagearchive module should have been removed in django_cradmin 2.0.0, but it was forgotten. If you need to use this app, you should consider:

Installing cradmin_legacy. Make sure you follow the guides in the cradmin_legacy for adding it to an existing django_cradmin > 2.0 install.
Change from django_cradmin.apps.cradmin_imagearchive -> cradmin_legacy.apps.cradmin_imagearchive in INSTALLED_APPS.

This should just work, since the appnames are the same, and their migrations match.

If you do not want to depend on cradmin_legacy, you can update your INSTALLED_APPS with django_cradmin.apps.cradmin_imagearchive -> django_cradmin.deprecated_apps.cradmin_imagearchive. When you migrate this change, the database table for ArchiveImage will be renamed so that it ends with deprecated. This avoids problems if you add cradmin_legacy in the future.

Deprecated: cradmin_temporaryfileuploadstore¶

The django_cradmin.apps.cradmin_temporaryfileuploadstore app has been deprecated and moved to django_cradmin.deprecated_apps.cradmin_temporaryfileuploadstore`, and the database models has been renamed from ``TemporaryFileCollection -> TemporaryFileCollectionDeprecated and TemporaryFile -> TemporaryFileDeprecated.

The cradmin_temporaryfileuploadstore module should have been removed in django_cradmin 2.0.0, but it was forgotten. If you need to use this app, you should consider:

Installing cradmin_legacy. Make sure you follow the guides in the cradmin_legacy for adding it to an existing django_cradmin > 2.0 install.
Change from django_cradmin.apps.cradmin_temporaryfileuploadstore -> cradmin_legacy.apps.cradmin_temporaryfileuploadstore in INSTALLED_APPS.

This should just work, since the appnames are the same, and their migrations match.

If you do not want to depend on cradmin_legacy, you can update your INSTALLED_APPS with django_cradmin.apps.cradmin_temporaryfileuploadstore -> django_cradmin.deprecated_apps.cradmin_temporaryfileuploadstore. When you migrate this change, the database tables will be renamed so that they end with deprecated. This avoids problems if you add cradmin_legacy in the future.
