When you want to display a field on Django Admin, and this field doesn't exist in your Model or you need to compute some information, like a Image or Link, you will need to create a method on your ModelAdminClass like this:
from django.contrib import admin
class YourAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
fields = ('sum_method', 'some_img', 'is_true')
def sum_method(self, obj):
sum_result = obj.field1 + obj.field2 + obj.field3
return '<b>%s</b>' % sum_result
sum_method.short_description = 'Sum'
sum_method.admin_order_field = 'field1'
sum_method.allow_tags = True
def some_img(self, obj):
return '<img scr="%s">' % obj.image
some_img.short_description = 'image'
some_img.admin_order_field = 'id'
some_img.allow_tags = True
def is_true(self, obj):
return obj.value > 0
is_true.short_description = 'Positive'
is_true.admin_order_field = 'value'
is_true.boolean = TrueIt takes too much lines! =D
With django-admin-easy you can easily create this field with less lines:
from django.contrib import admin
import easy
class YourAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
fields = ('sum_method', 'some_img', 'is_true')
sum_method = easy.SimpleAdminField(lambda obj: '<b>%s</b>' % (obj.field1 + obj.field2 + obj.field3), 'Sum', 'field1', True)
some_img = easy.ImageAdminField('image', 'id')
is_true = easy.BooleanAdminField('Positive', 'value')If you still prefer using a custom method, you can use our decorators, like this:
from django.contrib import admin
import easy
class YourAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
fields = ('sum_method', 'some_img', 'is_true')
@easy.smart(short_description='Sum', admin_order_field='field1', allow_tags=True )
def sum_method(self, obj):
sum_result = obj.field1 + obj.field2 + obj.field3
return '<b>%s</b>' % sum_result
@easy.short(desc='image', order='id', tags=True)
def some_img(self, obj):
return '<img scr="%s">' % obj.image
@easy.short(desc='Positive', order='value', bool=True)
def is_true(self, obj):
return obj.value > 0In all of this extra decorators, you can use short or smart arguments to complement field information.
- Allow HTML tags
@easy.with_tags()
def some_field_with_html(self, obj):
return '<b>{}</b>'.format(obj.value)
# output some as: mark_safe("<b>something</b>")if value is 5, will display:
5 and not <b>5</b> on admin page.
- Cached field
If you, for some reason, need to cache a custom field on admin
@easy.cache(10)# in secondd, default is 60
def some_field_with_html(self, obj):
return obj.related.some_hard_word()If you change something on your model, or some related object, you can clean this cache using this easy way:
import easy
# wherever you want
easy.cache_clear(my_model_instance)
# or
class MyModel(models.Model):
# ... fields
def save(*args, **kwargs):
easy.cache_clear(self)
super(MyModel, self).save(*args, **kwargs)- Django template filter
Can be used with all template filters on your project.
# builtin template filter like {{ value|title }}
@easy.filter('title')
def some_field_with_html(self, obj):
return 'ezequiel bertti'
# output: "Ezequiel Bertti"
# like {% load i10n %} and {{ value|localize }}
@easy.filter('localize', 'l10n')
def some_field_with_html(self, obj):
return 10000
# output: "10.000"
# like {{ value|date:'y-m-d' }}
@easy.filter('date', 'default', 'y-m-d')
def some_field_with_html(self, obj):
return datetime(2016, 06, 28)
# output: "16-06-28"- Django utils functions

don't forget to add your custom field on readonly_fields attribute of your admin class
from django.contrib import admin
import easy
class YourAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
fields = ('custom1', 'custom2', 'custom3' ... 'customN')
readonly_fields = ('custom1', 'custom2', 'custom3' ... 'customN')
custom1 = easy.ForeignKeyAdminField('related')
# ...Another way to use is directly on list_fields declaration:
from django.contrib import admin
import easy
class YourAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
list_fields = (
easy.TemplateAdminField('test.html', 'shorty description', 'order_field'),
easy.ImageAdminField('image', {'image_attrs':'attr_value'}),
# ...
)
# ...To help you to create a custom view on django admin, we create the MixinEasyViews for your Admin Classes
from django.contrib import admin
import easy
class MyModelAdmin(easy.MixinEasyViews, admin.ModelAdmin):
# ...
def easy_view_jump(self, request, pk=None):
# do something here
return HttpResponse('something')To call this view, you can use this reverse:
from django.core.urlresolvers import reverse
# to do something with one object of a model
reverse('admin:myapp_mymodel_easy', args=(obj.pk, 'jump'))
# or to do something with a model
reverse('admin:myapp_mymodel_easy', args=('jump',))Or one HTML template
#<!-- to do something with one object of a model -->
{% url 'admin:myapp_mymodel_easy' obj.pk 'jump' %}
#<!-- or to do something with a model -->
{% url 'admin:myapp_mymodel_easy' 'jump' %}Response for admin actions
Return for the change list and show some message for the user keeping or not the filters.
from django.contrib import admin
from django.contrib import messages
import easy
class YourAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
# ...
actions = ('simples_action',)
def simples_action(self, request, queryset):
success = queryset.do_something()
if success:
return easy.action_response(request, 'Some success message for user', keep_querystring=False)
else:
return easy.action_response(request, 'Some error for user', messages.ERROR)
# or just redirect to changelist with filters
return easy.action_response()So easy, no?
