django-multiselectfield 0.1.6.dev2

Install with pip

$ pip install django-multiselectfield

Configure your models.py

from multiselectfield import MultiSelectField

# ...

MY_CHOICES = (('item_key1', 'Item title 1.1'),
              ('item_key2', 'Item title 1.2'),
              ('item_key3', 'Item title 1.3'),
              ('item_key4', 'Item title 1.4'),
              ('item_key5', 'Item title 1.5'))

MY_CHOICES2 = ((1, 'Item title 2.1'),
               (2, 'Item title 2.2'),
               (3, 'Item title 2.3'),
               (4, 'Item title 2.4'),
               (5, 'Item title 2.5'))

class MyModel(models.Model):

    # .....

    my_field = MultiSelectField(choices=MY_CHOICES)
    my_field2 = MultiSelectField(choices=MY_CHOICES2,
                                 max_choices=3,
                                 max_length=3)

Configure your admin.py

For list_diplay you can simply specify the list of fields, but you must use the msf_filter helper function for fields in list_filter:

from django.contrib import admin

from multiselectfield.admin import msf_filter

from .models import MyModel

class MyModelAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    list_display = ('my_field', 'my_field2')
    list_filter = (msf_filter('my_field2'),)

admin.site.register(MyModel, MyModelAdmin)

Alternatively, you can use the more explicit specification for list_filter:

from django.contrib import admin

from multiselectfield.admin import MSFChoiceListFilter

from .models import MyModel


class MyModelAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    list_display = ('my_field', 'my_field2')
    list_filter = (
        ('my_field2', MSFChoiceListFilter),
    )

admin.site.register(MyModel, MyModelAdmin)

In your settings.py

Only you need it, if you want the translation of django-multiselectfield

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'django.contrib.sites',
    'django.contrib.admin',

    #.....................#

    'multiselectfield',
)

Django REST Framework

Django REST Framework comes with a MultipleChoiceField that works perfectly with this:

from rest_framework import fields, serializers

from myapp.models import MY_CHOICES, MY_CHOICES2

class MyModelSerializer(serializers.HyperlinkedModelSerializer):
    # ...
    my_field = fields.MultipleChoiceField(choices=MY_CHOICES)
    my_field2 = fields.MultipleChoiceField(choices=MY_CHOICES2)
    # ...
