I have implemented this solution successfully with a standard model, but when I try to use it on one which is subclassed I get an error because it is trying to validate the model before it knows about the subclass. I can work around this by defining an Admin class for each of the subclasses, but it seems to me this should work?
Model.py class Directory(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=60) pic1 = models.ImageField(upload_to='pics', blank=True, null=True) class Business(Directory): cat = models.ForeignKey(Subcategory) Admin.py AdminImageWidget defined .... class DirectoryAdminForm(forms.ModelForm): pic1 = forms.ImageField(widget=AdminImageWidget()) class Meta: model = Directory class DirectoryAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin): form = DirectoryAdminForm fieldsets = [ (None, {'fields': ['cat','name','is_live']}), <-------- CAT FIELD IS PART OF BUSINESS NOT DIRECTORY SO CAUSES ERROR ('Contact', {'fields': ['phone','mobile','fax','email','web','address']}), ('Details', {'fields': ['description','pic1','pic2','pic3','pic4']}), ] admin.site.register(Business,DirectoryAdmin) Error ImproperlyConfigured at /admin/town/business/14/ 'DirectoryAdmin.fieldsets[2][1]['fields']' refers to field 'cat' that is missing from the form.
