Hi Djangonauts, I read chapters 6 and 18 of the django book about the admin interface and how to extend/customize it but I'm still at a loss on if and how can I add custom fields in the add/change form. What I want to be able to do is set in my model's Admin class extra fields that do not correspond to model fields and attach arbitrary logic to them. For instance, I may want to specify an extra textarea field, which once the form is submitted it is parsed appropriately and adds or updates multiple rows in the same and/or other tables, something like:
from django import newforms as forms class MyCustomField(forms.CharField): # add validation and other logic here pass class MyModel: class Admin: fields = ( (None, { 'fields': ('url', 'title', MyCustomField) }), ) Is this possible and is it worth the pain ? I find Django's admin interface perhaps its main killer feature and I'd hate to lose it if it turns out it's not extensible enough.
