django-model-admin-autocomplete 0.2.0

Installation

pip install django-model-admin-autocomplete

and then add this to your settings.py module

SILENCED_SYSTEM_CHECKS = ['admin.E039', 'admin.E040']

Usage

Consider you have a few models as,

# models.py
class Article(models.Model):
    headline = models.CharField(max_length=100)
    pub_date = models.DateField()
    publications = models.ManyToManyField(Publication)
    reporter = models.ForeignKey(Reporter, on_delete=models.CASCADE)

    def __str__(self):
        return self.headline

and you need autocomplete fields for publications and reporter in models admin.

# admin.py
from django.contrib import admin
from .models import Article
from model_admin_autocomplete import ModelAdminAutoComplete


class ArticleModelAdmin(ModelAdminAutoComplete, admin.ModelAdmin):
    autocomplete_fields = ('publications', 'reporter')


admin.site.register(Article, ArticleModelAdmin)
