Hi, I'm trying to figure out how to use a custom form for when editing objects inline in the admin. The case is something like this: I have Images that have foreign keys to image galleries. When editing a gallery, the images associated with it are edited inline. The image model has quite a few options, so the listing on each gallery page gets pretty long. Images also have a field for sorting weight. I would like to implement simons snippet for sorting inline objects with drag and drop (from http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/1053/), which is pretty unusable with a very long page. I would therefore like the image form to collapse, showing only the ordering field, title and hopefully a thumbnail of the image.
I know I could probably do this via a custom template, but that felt a bit messy for some reason. So, I decided to take a shot at learning a bit about customizing the admin form stuff via formset factories. I tried reading the docs, googled a bit but couldn't get it working. So far I've done the following: 1. Create a normal ModelAdmin-subclass for both Image and ImageGallery 2. Created a ModelForm-subclass for the galleries to get the extra JS stuff in to get the draggable stuff working 3. Created an ImageInline (subclass of admin.StackedInline) 4. Pointed to the ImageInline from the ModelAdmin options for ImageGallery 5. In the ImageInline-class, I specified the formset-option, pointing to... 6. ...the ImageInlineFormset, which a formset created with inlineformset_factory, that in turn specifies a form in the function call, namely... 7. ...ImageInlineForm, which is a subclass of ModelForm. There, I've specified exactly how I want my fieldsets laid out. My admin.py is up at http://dpaste.com/83994/ Nothing seems to take in changing the inline form for the image though. I get no errors, but the form stays the same... I'm not 100% sure about everything I'm doing every step of the way here, so... Have I got all this backwards? I just assumed that since I can specify a formset-option on the inline, I should be able to use a formset created through inlineformset_factory, and, in creating that, pointing to a custom ModelForm... //emil --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
