I love the admin interface, and it works perfectly for almost every aspect of the application I am writing. However, I have discovered that the default behavior of the admin interface to list all models in one grouping is not ideal in my case...
I have a *large* number of models (that are based on a few "abstract" model classes) . Ideally I'd like to add behavior to the admin interface so that when listing all the models for an application like mine, it sorts them out based on the abstract class they subclass. My current solution (which is less than ideal) involves subclassing AdminSite, over-ridding the app_index method and creating a separate template. In the over-ridden app_index I sort out the models into three lists. In the custom index template I display the 3 lists of models under different headings. Allow me to present some cobbled together and primitive text-based examples for those who are still following.... What happens by default in the admin section for my app: [django admin heading etc] (My app name) Model1 Model2 Model... Model... Model... Model... Model_n Ideally I'd like the admin to generate a listing like this: [django admin heading etc] (My app name) Model1 Model2 (Group for models that subclass abstract class A) Model... Model... (Group for models that subclass abstract class B) Model... Model_n I am guessing I am not the first to run into this type of issue and any help would be greatly appreciated! -Matt (Please let me know if anything needs more explanation as well) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
