In this screencast I cover converting an existing application to the NewForms-Admin Branch of Django. We will cover hooking the NewForms-Admin into our urls.py module, extracting out the inner Admin class information into a NewForms-Admin class, handling the prepopulate_from, and organizing our admin class information into a separate module.

Thanks. Very interesting.
Thanks, you helped me out with this transition. Looking forward to part II!!!
The iTunes feed is still stuck at episode 7.
The address of the website in the iTunes store, points to http://www.djangonetcasts.com/screencasts/ which is not available.
Panos: you’re correct, episode 7 is the latest one. So I’m not sure why this is an issue. The address is the location of a new site being rolled out for the screencasts. It’s not up yet but should be shortly as soon as I find the time. Sorry for the confusion.
