How to I show a list of ForeignKey reverse lookups in the DJango admin interface?

Django short description for property
The solution by Masatsugu Hosoi works fine, but you can also use the decorator and set short_description on the property getter (fget): @property def my_property(self): return u’Returns some calculations’ my_property.fget.short_description = u’Property X’
Show a ManyToManyField as Checkboxes in Django Admin
From this answer it seems like it is possible to use ModelAdmin.formfield_overrides to override the ManyToManyField to use CheckBoxSelectMultiple: from django.db import models from django.contrib import admin from django.forms import CheckboxSelectMultiple class MyModelAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin): formfield_overrides = { models.ManyToManyField: {‘widget’: CheckboxSelectMultiple}, } I haven’t tried it and am merely quoting from the source, but it seems plausible. … Read more
different fields for add and change pages in admin

change list display link in django admin
I believe the correct way of doing it, is subclassing ChangeList and override the url_for_result method to create the correct change url you want. Override the get_changelist in the admin.ModelAdmin subclass to return the new class: from django.contrib.admin.views.main import ChangeList from django.contrib.admin.util import quote class FooChangeList(ChangeList): def url_for_result(self, result): pk = getattr(result, self.pk_attname) return ‘/foos/foo/%d/’ … Read more

Filtering by custom date range in Django admin

Make boolean values editable in list_display?
ModelAdmin.list_editable is what you need, see its doc here. Below you also have an example: class TaskAdmin(models.ModelAdmin): list_display = (…, ‘is_finished’) list_editable = (‘is_finished’,) # this MUST only contain fields that also are in “list_display” #list_display_links = (‘foo’, ‘bar’) # this MUST NOT contain a field in common with “list_editable”
