============= django-ticker ============= django-ticker is a reusable Django_ application that provides a ticker like news section including row level permissions. What does this mean? In django-ticker you have a fine grained permission control what the (administrative) user can do and what not. Besides the default Django permissions -- add, change, delete -- there are some extra permissions: - change_foreign - publish Originally this was created for the news section of the `German Django community`_ where foreign users could add articles but had no permission to publish them, cause a moderator must check these articles first. It's easy to create a pressroom like workflow, assumed we have different people with different permissions: The freelance journalist: Granted permissions: add, change - can add articles - can change his articles (only his own) - can not delete his articles - can set the status of the article to "closed" or "draft". Draft means, that the article is ready for check by a moderator. - in the admin list of articles, they see only they own The journalist: Granted permissions: add, change, delete, publish - can add articles - can change and delete his articles (only his own) - can set the status of the article to "closed", "draft" or "published" - in the admin list of articles, they see only their own The chief editor (or moderator): Granted permissions: add, change, delete, publish, change_foreign - can add articles - can change and delete all (!) articles - can set the status of the article to "closed", "draft" or "published" - in the admin list of articles, they see all articles The proofreader (or subject specialist): Granted permissions: change, change_foreign - can not add articles - can not delete articles - can not publish articles - can change all articles (e.g. for correction) - in the admin list of articles, they see all articles So, you can mix these permissions and create a workflow that perfectly fits your needs. .. _`Django`: http://www.djangoproject.com/ .. _`German Django Community`: http://django-de.org/
