Update: Read the Docs for your version of Django, e.g. the latest version or old LTS versions: 3.2, 2.2, 1.11 Original answer from 2011: I had the same issue about a year and a half ago and I found a nice template loader on djangosnippets.org that makes this easy. It allows you to extend a … Read more
I’ve found one way to achieve what I want, by using proxy models to get around the fact that each model may be registered only once. class PostAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin): list_display = (‘title’, ‘pubdate’,’user’) class MyPost(Post): class Meta: proxy = True class MyPostAdmin(PostAdmin): def get_queryset(self, request): return self.model.objects.filter(user = request.user) admin.site.register(Post, PostAdmin) admin.site.register(MyPost, MyPostAdmin) Then the default … Read more
It is easy, just overload has_add_permission method in your Admin class like so: class MyAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin): def has_add_permission(self, request, obj=None): return False
Well well, it seems like the Meta class approach still works. So placing a meta class inside your model will still do the trick: class Category(models.Model): class Meta: verbose_name_plural = “categories” Note that we use the lower case here, as django is smart enough to capitalize it when we need it. I find setting this … Read more
You can use the URL resolver directly in a template, there’s no need to write your own filter. E.g. {% url ‘admin:index’ %} {% url ‘admin:polls_choice_add’ %} {% url ‘admin:polls_choice_change’ choice.id %} {% url ‘admin:polls_choice_changelist’ %} Ref: Documentation
As of Django 1.7 you don’t need to override templates. You can now implement site_header, site_title, and index_title attributes on a custom AdminSite in order to easily change the admin site’s page title and header text. Create an AdminSite subclass and hook your instance into your URLconf: admin.py: from django.contrib.admin import AdminSite from django.utils.translation import … Read more
If you want to be able to specify ManyToMany relation without making it required just use blank=True: class Group(models.Model): … events = models.ManyToManyField(Event, blank=True)
Any field with the auto_now attribute set will also inherit editable=False and therefore will not show up in the admin panel. There has been talk in the past about making the auto_now and auto_now_add arguments go away, and although they still exist, I feel you’re better off just using a custom save() method. So, to … Read more
As another option, you can do look ups like: class UserAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin): list_display = (…, ‘get_author’) def get_author(self, obj): return obj.book.author get_author.short_description = ‘Author’ get_author.admin_order_field = ‘book__author’ Since Django 3.2 you can use display() decorator: class UserAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin): list_display = (…, ‘get_author’) @display(ordering=’book__author’, description=’Author’) def get_author(self, obj): return obj.book.author
