This is not currently doable, AFAIK. You may be able to hide the fields by judicious use of CSS ( display: none). However, the patch I have been making to clean up the admin and metasystem, on ticket #535, includes a feature that may help. Rather than doing edit_inline=meta.TABULAR or meta.STACKED, it is also possible to do edit_inline="path/to/template" (TABULAR and STACKED are redefined to point at included templates) . This template could simply not show the fields you don't want. You can also control the layout of the inline objects, I've been attempting to make a horizontal scroller one without resorting to tables ;-) Anyway, it is a work in progress, and not documented. It will NOT work without applying the patch at http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/535/, and there is no guarantee that this patch will be applied any time soon or in its current form.
