raw_id_fields widget replacement that handles display of an object's string value on change and can be overridden via a template.
Project description
A Django admin raw_id_fields widget replacement that handles display of an object’s string value on change and can be overridden via a template. See this example:
Installation
Install the package with pip:
$ pip install django-salmonella
Put salmonella to your list of INSTALLED_APPS:
INSTALLED_APPS = ( # ... other apps 'salmonella', )
And add the urlpattern:
urlpatterns = [ # ... url(r'^admin/salmonella/', include('salmonella.urls')), ]
salmonella comes with some static files so don’t forget to run manage.py collectstatic.
Usage
To start using django-salmonella in your application all you need to do is implement SalmonellaMixin in your ModelAdmin class and add the desired fields to a list of salmonella_fields:
from salmonella.admin import SalmonellaMixin class UserProfileAdmin(SalmonellaMixin, admin.ModelAdmin): salmonella_fields = ('user',)
You can use Salmonella widgets in a Admin filter as well:
from salmonella.admin import SalmonellaMixin from salmonella.filters import SalmonellaFilter class UserProfileAdmin(SalmonellaMixin, admin.ModelAdmin): list_filter = ( ('salmonella_fk', SalmonellaFilter), )
Customizing the value of the dynamic widget
The coolest feature of django-salmonella is the ability to customize the output of the value displayed alongside the SalmonellaIdWidget. There is a basic implementation if all you want is your object’s __unicode__ value. To change the value displayed all you need to do is implement the correct template.
Django-salmonella looks for this template structure salmonella/<app>/<model>.html and salmonella/<app>/multi_<model>.html (for multi-value lookups).
For instance, if I have a blog post with a User salmonella field that I want display as Firstname Lastname, I would create the template salmonella/auth/user.html with:
<span>{{ object.0.first_name }} {{ object.0.last_name }}</span>
