Question

I have a demo product built on django framework and is running live. Prospective customer will login to the UI with superuser access privilege. I wanted to show the delete option but when they execute the delete option, I want to show the message like ‘not allowed for demo login’.

Is there a way to achieve this quickly in django framework. What is the best option to do this.

Thanks
Siva

I fixed this by creating a demo user and adding the following code to the middleware class:

                    if request.user.username == 'demo':
                            if '/delete' in path:
                                    request.user.message_set.create(message='Delete/Edit option is disabled for demo account.')
                                    return HttpResponseRedirect("../../")
                            if path.startswith ('/admin/') and request.method == 'POST' and request.POST.has_key('action'):
                                    axnname   = request.POST.get('action')
                                    if axnname == 'delete_selected':
                                            request.user.message_set.create(message='Delete/Edit option is disabled for demo account.')
                                            return HttpResponseRedirect(path)
                            if path.startswith ('/admin/') and request.method == 'POST' and request.is_ajax() is False:
                                    request.user.message_set.create(message='Add/Edit option is disabled for demo account.')
                                    return HttpResponseRedirect("../")
