ScreenShot

Installation

Install django-admin-action-tools by running:

poetry add django-admin-action-tools

Add to INSTALLED_APPS in your project settings before django.contrib.admin:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    ...
    'admin_action_tools',

    'django.contrib.admin',
    ...
]

Note that this project follows the template override rules of Django. To override a template, your app should be listed before admin_confirm, admin_form in INSTALLED_APPS.

Configuration Options

Environment Variables:

Caching is used to cache files for confirmation. When change/add is submitted on the ModelAdmin, if confirmation is required, files will be cached until all validations pass and confirmation is received.

• ADMIN_CONFIRM_CACHE_TIMEOUT default: 1000
• ADMIN_CONFIRM_CACHE_KEY_PREFIX default: admin_confirm__file_cache

Attributes:

• confirm_change Optional[bool] - decides if changes should trigger confirmation
• confirm_add Optional[bool] - decides if additions should trigger confirmation
• confirmation_fields Optional[Array[string]] - sets which fields should trigger confirmation for add/change. For adding new instances, the field would only trigger a confirmation if it's set to a value that's not its default.
• change_confirmation_template Optional[string] - path to custom html template to use for change/add
• action_confirmation_template Optional[string] - path to custom html template to use for actions

Note that setting confirmation_fields without setting confirm_change or confirm_add would not trigger confirmation for change/add. Confirmations for actions does not use the confirmation_fields option.

Method Overrides: If you want even more control over the confirmation, these methods can be overridden:

• get_confirmation_fields(self, request: HttpRequest, obj: Optional[Object]) -> List[str]
• render_change_confirmation(self, request: HttpRequest, context: dict) -> TemplateResponse
• render_action_confirmation(self, request: HttpRequest, context: dict) -> TemplateResponse

Usage

AdminConfirmMixin

It can be configured to add a confirmation page on ModelAdmin upon:

• saving changes
• adding new instances
• performing actions

Confirm Change:

    from admin_confirm import AdminConfirmMixin

    class MyModelAdmin(AdminConfirmMixin, ModelAdmin):
        confirm_change = True
        confirmation_fields = ['field1', 'field2']

This would confirm changes on changes that include modifications onfield1 and/or field2.

Confirm Add:

    from admin_confirm import AdminConfirmMixin

    class MyModelAdmin(AdminConfirmMixin, ModelAdmin):
        confirm_add = True
        confirmation_fields = ['field1', 'field2']

This would confirm add on adds that set field1 and/or field2 to a non default value.

Note: confirmation_fields apply to both add/change confirmations.

Confirm Action:

    from admin_confirm import AdminConfirmMixin

    class MyModelAdmin(AdminConfirmMixin, ModelAdmin):
        actions = ["action1", "action2"]

        def action1(modeladmin, request, queryset):
            # Do something with the queryset

        @confirm_action
        def action2(modeladmin, request, queryset):
            # Do something with the queryset

        action2.allowed_permissions = ('change',)

This would confirm action2 but not action1.

Action confirmation will respect allowed_permissions and the has_xxx_permission methods.

Note: AdminConfirmMixin does not confirm any changes on inlines
