#10768: Allow for Admin Actions to be applied to an empty QuerySet -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Reporter: andreplebl...@gmail.com | Owner: nobody Status: new | Milestone: Component: django.contrib.admin | Version: SVN Keywords: actions | Stage: Unreviewed Has_patch: 0 | -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Currently if you perform an Admin Action without selecting any rows on the change-list, the action's method doesn't get called at all. I think there are many use cases for actions which do not require an explicit collection. for example if the items are pulled from some external source there could be an action for updating the data, or perhaps various options for exporting the entire list. in this way, an action which gets an empty queryset can be applied to either "ALL" items (which currently isn't possible if the items span more than 1 page) or can apply some generic operation which doesn't pertain to a collection of items. As far as I can tell this has no negative repercussions because any potentially destructive actions, like Delete, will simply attempt to perform their action on an empty queryset, which should do nothing at all.
I haven't created a patch, but the solution is as simple as removing 2 lines (688, 689) from admin/options.py -- Ticket URL: <http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/10768> Django <http://code.djangoproject.com/> The Web framework for perfectionists with deadlines. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django updates" group.
