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.
