Found a really tidy way of doing this.
Created a new css style based on the Django Wide and Collapse styles
calld Hide
/* CUSTOM TYPE hide */
.hide label { width:15em !important; }
.colM .hide select { visibility: hidden; }
fieldset.hide * { display:none; }
Then in the model simply grouped together the fields I wanted to hide
and applied the Hide class to that fieldset
class Question(meta.Model):
fields = (
meta.ForeignKey(Student),
meta.ForeignKey(Group),
meta.ForeignKey(QuestionType),
meta.CharField('question', maxlength=250),
)
admin = meta.Admin(save_as=True,
fields = (
(None, {'fields': ('question', 'questiontype_id')}),
('Hidden Info', {'fields': ('student_id', 'group_id', ),
'classes': 'hide'}),
),
)
