Here is a tutorial for adding a plus sign for custom dropdown box in custom admin pages

[Asim Yuksel]

If you registered your models with adminCreate a widgets.py and put
the following code there

from django.template.loader import render_to_string
from ivl.views import *

def SelectWidgetWithPopUp(url):
class SelectWithPopUp(forms.Select):

def render(self, name, *args, **kwargs):

html = super(SelectWithPopUp, self).render(name, *args,
**kwargs)
popupplus = render_to_string(url, {'field': name})
return html+popupplus
return SelectWithPopUp

url will be the link where it will open a popup for adding new data.

now create the following html file anywhere in your template dir.

  
 
 

href location is where my tblpeople model is and I am pointing the
"add" view.

Now in the admin.py
#Import the widget
from yourapp.widgets import SelectWidgetWithPopUp

#This is the form I will use for people dropdownlist
class PeopleForm(forms.Form):

peopleid=forms.ModelChoiceField(label='Authors',queryset=Tblpeople.objects,
widget=SelectWidgetWithPopUp("people_popup_plus.html"))

people_popup_plus.html is the url for pop up.

Re: Please help me make a SELECT box!

[Asim Yuksel]

Why dont you use a widget with charfield

forms.CharField(max_length=1, widget=forms.Select
(choices=CHOICES))

and your choices are

 CHOICE = (
('A', 'A'),
('B', 'B'),
('C', 'C'),
)

How to set the size for Inline Dropdown lists

[Asim Yuksel]

Hi
I have an inline model. It lists the foreign keys in a dropdown list.
It adjusts its size according to the largest text in it. How can I
have a small dropdown list? It is too big.

Re: Dynamic Inline fileds

[Asim Yuksel]

Hi Asim :)

Here is the solution step by step:

1) Go to Lib\site-packages\django\contrib\admin\media\js directory and
copy the following js files to js folder

 jquery-1.4.2 from jquery website

 dynamic_inlines_with_sort.js from 
http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/1489/

and create the following css under css folder

dyynamic_inlines_with_sort.css:
.inline-group .tabular tr.has_original td { padding-top:0.5em; }
.inline-group .tabular tr.has_original td.original p { display:none; }

2)Add following media class to your inline admin model


class Media:

js = ['/media/js/jquery-1.4.2.js',
 '/media/js/dynamic_inlines_with_sort.js',]
css = { 'all' : ['/media/css/dynamic_inlines_with_sort.css'],}


You will see a plus sign or add new row text below. I was able to
duplicate text fields,dropdown lists successfully.

ModelMultipleChoiceField and plus sign

[Asim Yuksel]

I have a field called peopleid. The default admin page displays this
as a dropdown list and shows a green plus sign near it. Instead of
dropdown, I want to use MultipleChoiceField. But if I define this
field. I dont see the plus sign? How can I make it appear near the
ModelMultipleChoiceField?

Here is the form field I am using

peopleid =
forms.ModelMultipleChoiceField(label='Authors',queryset=Tblpeople.objects.all())

2 Views In One Admin Template

[Asim Yuksel]

How can show two different views in one admin view(change_form.html)?

I have a custom change_form.html for a model view. In that model's
view, I want to include another view
I tried the following but it shows same view again

{% for fieldset in adminform %}
  {% include "admin/includes/Brdgauthorseditors/
authors_editors_fieldset.html" %}
{% endfor %}

{% for fieldset in adminform %}
  {% include "admin/includes/Brdgmediapublications/
media_publications_fieldset.html" %}
{% endfor %}


I understand the reason why it shows the same view. Because it is
accessing the current model's adminform. How can I access another
view's adminform?

Re: How to display other field(not the foreign key) in admin dropdown list

Okey I want to answer this :) just add a unicode method to your model
something like this

def __unicode__(self):
return "%s" % self.name

How to display other field(not the foreign key) in admin dropdown list

I have a people table and a bridge table which are related. bridge
table has a foreignkey field for people table.

When I click add from django admin it shows the peopleid in a drop
down list. What I want to do is I want to show the people.name field
instead of peopleid foreignkey field? How can I do this?

Re: Displaying the fields of two tables on the same admin page

I am entering them on the same page otherwise I will have to note down

and insert the ids there. So the reason I want to enter in the same

Re: Displaying the fields of two tables on the same admin page

[Asim Yuksel]

Sorry for not making it clear. The idea is to use default admin
template and help the admin to enter data from admin interface. I will
enter data via admin's default template. Lets say I have People and
Publications Table in my database. So when I click admin's add button,
it will display some fields to enter data for People and Publication
Tables. When I click save, the data will be saved to People and
Publications table. People and Publications are not related. They are
different tables. I cant use inlines option ind admin,py because the
tables should be related.

Displaying the fields of two tables on the same admin page

[Asim Yuksel]

I have two questions.
1)I have two tables(People, Publication) and they are not related and
I want to display the fields of these tables on the same admin page.
So when I fill all the fields, I want to insert these values into
people and publication tables.
2) I also want to insert the id values of people and publication to a
bridge table(lets say PeoplePublication) whenever I do the first step.

I guess I cant do the 1st one with inlines. How can I do this?

Re: ForeignKeyField

[Asim Yuksel]

I've tried this.
The model is

class Advisors(models.Model):
advisorid = models.IntegerField(primary_key=True,
db_column='advisorId') # Field name made lowercase.
maphdid = models.ForeignKey(Tblmaphds, db_column='maPhDId') #
Field name made lowercase.
rank = models.SmallIntegerField()
def __unicode__(self):
return self.maphdid
class Meta:
db_table = u'Advisors'

in admin.py I have

def AdvisorAdmin(model):
class BrdgadvisorsAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
model = Brdgadvisors
list_display = [f.name for f in model._meta.fields]
return BrdgadvisorsAdmin

admin.site.register(Brdgadvisors,AdvisorAdmin(Brdgadvisors))

So this doesnt work.

ForeignKeyField

[Asim Yuksel]

I have a question about model.ForeignKey field.Foreign key fields are
shown as object in admin page. How can I show them in other types like
integer type
for example I have a Model like this:

class Advisor(models.Model):

advisorid = models.IntegerField(primary_key=True,
db_column='advisorId')
maphdid = models.ForeignKey(Tblmaphds, db_column='maPhDId')
def __str__(self):
return smart_str('%s' % (self.maphdid))
def __unicode__(self):
return smart_str('%s' % (self.maphdid))
class Meta:
db_table = 'Advisor'

The problem is I see the maphdid value as "Tblmaphds object" instead
of a normal integer value.

What should I do to see a integer value?
