I do not see the point in explicitly disallowing calling the action if no item is selected. I would like to have "reset selected items" and "reset all items" in the same actions list.
Currently, I should have some admin actions in the ModelAdmin classes and some in the views and admin templates, which doesn't feel right. Maybe there should be a way to define model-wide actions as well as the current ones. -- omat On Apr 8, 3:10 am, Alex Gaynor <alex.gay...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Tue, Apr 7, 2009 at 8:04 PM, Malcolm Tredinnick <malc...@pointy-stick.com > > > > > wrote: > > > On Tue, 2009-04-07 at 06:55 -0700, pault wrote: > > > I want to run an action from my admin when I press the GO button > > > without having to select any objects. > > > > But it seems actions are only triggered when at least one object is > > > selected.
