Right, I've worked out why this is: django/contrib/admin/options.py - def changelist_view(self, request, extra_context=None): contains the line:
context = { 'title': cl.title, 'is_popup': cl.is_popup, 'cl': cl, 'media': media, 'has_add_permission': self.has_add_permission(request), 'root_path': self.admin_site.root_path, 'app_label': app_label, 'action_form': action_form, 'actions_on_top': self.actions_on_top, 'actions_on_bottom': self.actions_on_bottom, } So, it doesn't add "has_delete_permission" to the context (nor "has_change_permission") for that matter. Simple fix: context = { 'title': cl.title, 'is_popup': cl.is_popup, 'cl': cl, 'media': media, 'has_add_permission': self.has_add_permission(request), addedhere ---> 'has_delete_permission': self.has_delete_permission(request), <----- added here 'root_path': self.admin_site.root_path, 'app_label': app_label, 'action_form': action_form, 'actions_on_top': self.actions_on_top, 'actions_on_bottom': self.actions_on_bottom, } ... but ... but ... surely that comes from the land of Harry the Hacker? Isn't there a better way to do this, or is this a genuine bug?
