Re: [mezzanine-users] Nested inline admins
Hi Tom, I would do something like this:
https://gist.github.com/joshcartme/6856ee5e35c7a6456d9e
I just through that together so there probably are typos and missing
imports, but it's a pattern I've used many times.
If you follow that, you second level inline will have a link that says
Edit third level. Clicking the link will open the SecondLevelAdmin
(which doesn't show in the menus since it already has an inline) from which
you can edit the third level inlines.
It may be a bit hacky, but I think it works pretty well. The key is that
SecondLevel has both an inline created for it and it's own admin class.
The inline for editing most of it's content, and the admin class for
editing it's own inlines.
Good luck!

Hi Eduardo,
Thanks for your advice. What I'm trying to do is a bit like a gallery,
but where individual photos can have several images attached to them. The
purpose of this is for preserving some old photos where some have several
prints of the same negative or where I want to capture both the front and
back of the photo because it has a description written on it and so on. To
do this, I'm using a model like this:
class Gallery(Page):
pass
class GalleryImage(Orderable):
gallery = ForeignKey('Gallery')
caption = CharField(max_length = 200)
description = TextField()
def get_thumbnail(self):
pass # ie fill it in later
class GalleryImageVersion(Orderable):
gallery_image = ForeignKey('GalleryImage')
thumbnail = FileField(...)
small_version = FileField(...)
full_size_version = FileField(...)
That's only a sketch of the model, of course, but it gives you the idea.
So I'd like to have an admin page for each Gallery, with GalleryImage
instances shown as stackable inlines and then each GalleryImageVersion as a
tabular inline within the stackable inline.
As far as I can tell, my options are either to use straight Django admins
(I note that Django-latest has had inlineable admins for the last few days,
not sure if I want to go that bleeding edge) or come up with some other
structure. Is that about right?
Thanks again,
Tom

Hi Tom. For your particular requirements, I would say no, Mezzanine
lacks this feature. There are some projects out there that are meant to do
it for vanilla Django https://github.com/s-block/django-nested-inline
and for Grappelli https://github.com/datahub/grappelli-nested-inlines.
In the case of that last one, remember Mezzanine uses a custom version of
Grappelli which might not be identical to the standard Grappelli. I can't
vouch for these projects, they just came up first on a Google search.
As a side note, I would recommend you reconsider the approach of what
you're trying to do. I've found myself sometimes wishing to have nested
inlines, but most of the times it is because I want sorting functionality
or I'm trying to edit several models related to each other. In the first
case, I've used Django admin sortable
https://github.com/iambrandontaylor/django-admin-sortable (which works
great with Mezzanine) to add a Sort button to the list view of my models.
In the second case, I often add links to edit related objects from one list
view to another (using admin URLs and filters in the GET parameters).
Perhaps you'll be interested in exploring these routes.

Re: [mezzanine-users] Nested inline admins
Hi Tom, I'm guessing you meant page. The answer is yes. Do something like this in your admin.py: from mezzanine.pages.admin import PageAdmin from .models import MyPageModel ...set up some inlines here... class MyPageModelAdmin(PageAdmin): inlines = ['whatever', 'inlines', 'you', 'want'] admin.site.register(MyPageModel, MyPageModelAdmin) Good luck!

Re: [mezzanine-users] Nested inline admins
Hi Josh,
Yes, s/pace/page/. Typing on a phone late at night, I'm afraid.
I don't quite get what you've suggested. Won't that give me several
inlines one after the other? What I mean is a model like this:
class TopLevel(Page):
pass
class SecondLevel(Orderable):
parent = ForeignKey('TopLevel')
class ThirdLevel(Orderable):
parent = ForeignKey('SecondLevel')
and an admin like this:
class ThirdLevelInline(TabularDynamicInlineAdmin):
model = ThirdLevel
class SecondLevelInline(StackedDynamicInlineAdmin):
model = SecondLevel
inlines = (ThirdLevelInline,)
class TopLevelAdmin(PageAdmin):
inlines = (SecondLevelInline,)
admin.site.register(TopLevel, TopLevelAdmin)
Is it possible?
