custom dynamic admin actions

Hello, I need to add custom dynamic admin actions (based on records in a related table), but I'm not entirely sure how to do this, as it's not explained in the docs. Basically, I have two models: "Transaction", which has a foreign key to "Account", and I want to define an admin action that will

Re: Custom linking of models in many-to-one relationship

This looks like django's generic relations ('Content types' in documentation). `select_related` for generic related models is not supported in django. So you should retreive all Notes associated with Account manually. If there are several Accounts you still can fetch all data in 2 queries using

Custom linking of models in many-to-one relationship

I have a model that can be attached to a variety of different models, based on the value of a column. Is there any way to map this relationship in Django? If not, is there a way to automatically do post-fetch processing where I could populate it? Here is a example: class Note(models.Model):

Update only selected fields

Hi all, I was wondering if there is built-in support for updating only selected field(s) when calling model.save(). When I call save() on the object, django call SQL UPDATE for all fields of the model, which is not ideal from performance point of view. I've found this snippet:
