Enhancement: raw JSON admin fields for DictField and ListField (with sample code) about djangotoolbox HOT 6 OPEN

(I just edited the SerializedObjectWidget code to remove a pointless serialize-deserialize step in DjangoJSONEncoder, which was messing up sub-sub-objects.)

Any opinions from other contributors? I don't have any (yet).

Hey, first of all thanks for sharing this. As this looked like it would pretty much solve my trouble with the ListField i tried to implement it, but ...

i run into an issue with the Field part in
defaults = {'form_class': Field, 'widget': SerializedObjectWidget}

If i use it as stated i get:
'global name 'Field' is not defined' -> which is truely understandable

then i thought i need to define the Field-Type i'm using inside the ListField, so i tried:

defaults = {'form_class': EmbeddedModelField, 'widget': SerializedObjectWidget}

with the following result:
'init() got an unexpected keyword argument 'widget''

As a beginner here i would be grateful if you could point me into a direction to solve this.

Thanks a lot,

Oh no .... damn it ..... feeling like the ultra noob ;)

Just fixed it ....

it was just an import missing in my models.py:

from django.forms import Field

Thank you really for sharing your code ...

Best,

FWIW, I think this should be the default behavior for DictField fields. This then opens up the admin interface by default and enables other things like djangorestframework to work properly.
