django-admin-autocomplete-all 0.2.5

django admin: use select2 (autocomplete_fields) everywhere

Django admin: 1) Get more context for filtering in get_search_results, 2) use select2 (autocomplete_fields) everywhere (because implicit is better than explicit).

Documentation

The full documentation is at https://django-admin-autocomplete-all.readthedocs.io.

Quickstart

Install django-admin-autocomplete-all:

pip install django-admin-autocomplete-all

Add ‘autocomplete_all’ into INSTALLED_APPS, then collectstatic (both not required if you don’t play with get_search_results filtering.)

Features

1. Get more context in get_search_results. Implement filtering into get_search_results of target ModelAdmin and add this to the source ModelAdmin:

class MyModelAdmin(ModelAdmin):
    class Media:
        js = ('autocomplete_all/js/autocomplete_params.js',)

You can also implement dynamic filters based on current value of other form fields. See Usage for details or read in source code: autocomplete_all/js/autocomplete_params.js

2. Use select2 (autocomplete_fields) everywhere.

In your admin.py import ModelAdmin, StackedInline and/or TabularInline ‘from autocomplete_all’ instead of ‘from admin’.

import autocomplete_all
class MyModelAdmin(autocomplete_all.ModelAdmin):
    ....
