Hi Eliezer, The trick is to add a ModelAdmin for Exercise.
The obvious consequence of this is that you'll get a "top level" menu option to add exercises. However, a side effect is that everywhere that you have a model with a foreign key to exercise (like in your Segment inline), you'll get a little green "plus" sign next to the foreign key selector. If you click on that plus, you'll get a popup that will let you create a new Exercise. The popup will have the same layout as the "Add Exercise" page you get if you go through the top level menu, but without the navigation elements. When you hit "save" on the new Exercise, the foreign key you clicked on will be updated to point at the newly added exercise instance. Yours, Russ Magee %-) On Wed, Oct 8, 2014 at 10:02 AM, Eliezer Kanal <eyka...@gmail.com> wrote: > I'm writing a rudimentary exercise app in django, with the following table > structure: > > Routine Exercise Segment > ===== ===== ===== > routine_name exercise_name routine_id (fk) > routine_id exercise_id exercise_id (fk) > order > duration > > * (fk) = foreign key > > In practice, this looks as follows: > > > <https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-TBTlJazPPBA/VDSaG6O_PFI/AAAAAAAAAUE/UftSycm-NYg/s1600/Screen%2BShot%2B2014-10-06%2Bat%2B8.48.54%2BPM.png> > A Routine contains numerous Segments, and each segment contains one > Exercise, the order number (where the segment appears in the routine – > first, second, third, etc), and the duration of that segment. > > My question is, is there an way to allow someone to add a new exercise > type from the "Add routine" view?
