Here is update and improvement of this answer. It works with django 1.6 and redirects to where you came from.
class ActionInChangeFormMixin(object):
def response_action(self, request, queryset):
"""
Prefer http referer for redirect
"""
response = super(ActionInChangeFormMixin, self).response_action(request,
queryset)
if isinstance(response, HttpResponseRedirect):
response['Location'] = request.META.get('HTTP_REFERER', response.url)
return response
def change_view(self, request, object_id, extra_context=None):
actions = self.get_actions(request)
if actions:
action_form = self.action_form(auto_id=None)
action_form.fields['action'].choices = self.get_action_choices(request)
else:
action_form = None
extra_context=extra_context or {}
extra_context['action_form'] = action_form
return super(ActionInChangeFormMixin, self).change_view(request, object_id, extra_context=extra_context)
class MyModelAdmin(ActionInChangeFormMixin, ModelAdmin):
......
Template:
{% extends "admin/change_form.html" %}
{% load i18n admin_static admin_list admin_urls %}
{% block extrastyle %}
{{ block.super }}
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2805701/{% static"admin/css/changelists.css" %}" />
{% endblock %}
{% block object-tools %}
{{ block.super }}
<div id="changelist">
<form action="{% url opts|admin_urlname:'changelist' %}" method="POST">{% csrf_token %}
{% admin_actions %}
<input type="hidden" name="_selected_action" value="{{ object_id }}">
</form>
</div>
{% endblock %}
