URLs for project/app may be edited visually with a help for regexps.

New model can be submitted with visual tools in Application edit pane. For existing models should be implemented an edit (remove?) option.

Applications panel shows a list of 'INSTALLED_APPS' for project. It has feature to create new application (using Django's internal machinery).

It still lack an ability to edit list of applications, e.g. - check/uncheck django.contrib.* apps, remove user defined apps.

Could you give any hint in the readme about how to run this project?

Project Navigator shows a tree of files in project. It lacks an operations on files and folders, e.g. - create file/folder, remove file/folder, rename file/folder.

It is good idea to have more project templates. Currently we have new empty project, new blog, new app, new CMS.

Templates are in https://github.com/vsergeyev/django-visual/tree/master/django_visual/conf

They are regular Django projects snd use same mechanism as django-admin.

Thank you for contribution!

The idea is to have Visual Django IDE as an application, user can run on his system without a need to install python/django/dependencies.

• Windows
• Mac OS
• Linuxes

PyInstaller may be used https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/wiki/Recipe-Executable-From-Django

Currently run project implemented with "subprocess.Popen" with a little interactivity.
E.g. - tracebacks wouldn't show up and no interactive logs displayed. The idea is to run project in separate subprocess with multiprocessing module.

Current code use Python 2.x and Django 1.x. It was originally a believe this will help to pack it as a standalone application for desktop.

I was able to get past the error in the other thread by changing line 35's (open_project.py) exception handler from ImportError to general Exception.

However, the error then just shows up under app errors when I'm in the IDE. Then running the project results in "could not concat bytes to string" somewhere in Python.

Anyway, I'm looking for a drag-n-drop visual editor, so when will this be supported?

This is a feature request.

There's django-bootstrap5 library, but I you might want to start from scratch without that library.

I'm currently using django-bootstrap5 and hand-editing an example's template files. It's very difficult. I can understand now why frontend developers are paid more than backend.
