I'm a true novice programmer, brand new to django, but lovin' it so far. I was wondering if there was any way to do something a little tricky via the Admin classes that could help me not write a custom view.
Basically I'd love to do all my data entry from the Admin interface, but I need to filter a set of choices on one Admin input interface based on a choice I make further up the form. I live in a world with: 2 restaurants (McDonalds and Burger King) 4 menu items, the same type of food at each restaurant (mc_burger, mc_fries, bk_burger, bk_fries) Each time I eat at one of those restaurants I want to make a record of the meal in my database. So I do the data entry through the django Admin backend. If I select "Burger King" as the restaurant that I eat my meal at, when it comes time to select the dishes I ate, I really only want to see bk_fries and bk_burger, cuz I ate at BK and not mickey D's. Can this be done just using the Admin class in models.py? Here's the sample code that I'm working with in model.py: class Restaurant(models.Model): def __str__(self): return self.name name = models.CharField('Restaurant Name', maxlength=200, blank=True) class Admin: fields = ( ('Restaurant Name' , {'fields': ('name',)}), ) pass class Dishes(models.Model) def __str__(self): return self.name name = models.CharField('Restaurant Name', maxlength=200, blank=True) class Admin: fields = ( ('Dish Name' , {'fields': ('name',)}), ) pass class IndividualMeal(models.Model): def __str__(self): return self.name restaurant_name = models.ForeignKey(Restaurant, verbose_name="restaurant") date_of_visit = models.DateTimeField('date of visit') dishes = models.ManyToManyField(Dish, verbose_name="individual dishes") class Admin: fields = ( ('Restaurant Name' , {'fields': ('restaurant_name',)}), ('Date of Visit', {'fields': ('date_of_visit',)}), ('Dishes', {'fields': ('dishes',)}), ) pass --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
