I'm not entirely clear what you're trying to accomplish, but in general when I hear "dummy" anything, I have to think there's a better solution. Perhaps what you're looking for is an abstract model class, from which you can subclass your two concrete ones? See http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/db/models/#id6.
If you really need to restrict the queryset for the model admin's list page, then yes, you can override the default queryset method defined in ModelAdmin just as the link describes. jeff On Jul 19, 12:40 pm, Some Guy <djul...@gmail.com> wrote: > hrmm, I found this > too..http://blog.dougalmatthews.com/2008/10/filter-the-django-modeladmin-set/ > > the method used is def queryset(self, request): in the model admin > class... > This method is not in the docs, though. > > Should any of these methods be preferred over the others? > any advice is appreciated :-) > > On Jul 19, 12:17 pm, Some Guy <djul...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > I was wondering if it's possible to have an admin page always show a > > filtered (or other non-default) queryset? > > > i.e. I would like the default admin page to show a queryset without > > any rows that have a particular boolean field set to false. > > > I've looked in the admin views.py, but haven't found anything that > > looks possible. > > > I just need to know if it's possible, and where to look... > > > TIA > > > (longer version follows) > > I have a Model that I would like to display with two different > > list_displays, based on whether a boolean is true or false. > > > I've noticed that any model inherited with no additional fields > > specified shows up in the parent model's admin page listing.
