django-admin-anchors 3.0.0

Link related objects in Django admin using decorators

Django Admin Anchors

Turn Django admin list display items into clickable links to related objects using decorators.

Clicking admin anchors will redirect to a filtered changelist view showing the related objects. This allows you to get a quick overview and run actions on the filtered objects.

Installation

pip install django-admin-anchors

Usage

Take a look at the tests/project directory to see a runnable example project.

Add links to the object list page

from django.contrib import admin
from admin_anchors import admin_anchor
from yourapp.models import Team


@admin.register(Team)
class TeamAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    list_display = ["__str__", "captain_link", "captains_profile_link", "members_link"]

    @admin_anchor("captain")
    def captain_link(self, instance):
        return str(instance.captain)

    @admin_anchor("captain.profile")
    def captains_profile_link(self, instance):
        return "Captains profile"

    @admin_anchor("members")
    def members_link(self, instance):
        return f"{instance.members.count()} members"

Add links to the object update page

from django.contrib import admin
from admin_anchors import admin_anchor
from yourapp.models import Player


@admin.register(Player)
class PlayerAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    readonly_fields = ["profile_link"]

    @admin_anchor("profile")
    def profile_link(self, instance):
        return "Profile"
