django-admin-extra-buttons

This is a full rewriting of the original django-admin-extra-url. It provides decorators to easily add custom buttons to Django Admin pages.

Will be possible to create wizards, actions and/or link to external resources as well as api only views.

It provides 3 decorators:

• button() to mark a method as extra view and show related button
• link() This is used for "external" link, where you don't need to invoke local views.
• view() View only decorator, this adds a new url but do not render any button.

Install

pip install django-admin-extra-buttons

After installation add it to INSTALLED_APPS

INSTALLED_APPS = (
   ...
   'admin_extra_buttons',
)

How to use it

from admin_extra_buttons.api import ExtraButtonsMixin, button, link, view

class MyModelModelAdmin(extras.ExtraButtonsMixin, admin.ModelAdmin):

    @link(label='Search On Google', change_form=True, change_list=False)
    def search_on_google(self, button):
        obj = button.context['original']
        button.href = f'http://www.google.com?q={obj.name}'

    @button() # /admin/myapp/mymodel/update_all/
    def consolidate(self, request):
        ...
        ...

    @button() # /admin/myapp/mymodel/update/10/
    def update(self, request, pk):
        # if we use `pk` in the args, the button will be in change_form
        obj = self.get_object(request, pk)
        ...

    @button(permission=lambda request, obj: request.user.is_superuser)
    def empty_table(self, request):
        if request.method == 'POST':
            self.model.objects.all().delete()
        else:
            return extras._confirm_action(self, request, self.truncate,
                                   'Continuing will erase the entire content of the table.',
                                   'Successfully executed', )
