Usage

The recommended way to install django-admin-enhancer is via pip:

pip install django-admin-enhancer

Add 'admin_enhancer' to your INSTALLED_APPS to avoid getting TemplateDoesNotExist errors.

Make sure to mix EnhancedModelAdminMixin when dealing with django.contrib.admin.ModelAdmin subclasses and EnhancedAdminMixin when dealing with django.contrib.admin.InlineModelAdmin at both ends of the relationship. The mixins are located at admin_enhancer.admin.

If edition and deletion controls appears but the popup is not closed nor is the select box updated your ModelAdmin subclass referenced by the field in question is probably not mixed with EnhancedModelAdminMixin.

For some examples take a look here.

Django CMS support

Django CMS (https://www.django-cms.org/) defines a plugin system to create pluggable applications; its plugin system relies on standard Django admin framework so it’s easy to enhance plugins using this project.

...
from admin_enhancer.admin import EnhancedAdminMixin

class MyOwnPlugin(EnhancedAdminMixin, CMSPluginBase):
    name = "whatever"

    ...
plugin_pool.register_plugin(MyOwnPlugin)

...
from other.app.cms_plugins import ThirdPartyPlugin
from admin_enhancer.admin import EnhancedAdminMixin

class EnhancedThirPartyPlugin(EnhancedAdminMixin, ThirdPartyPlugin):
    pass

    ...
plugin_pool.unregister_plugin(ThirdPartyPlugin)
plugin_pool.register_plugin(EnhancedThirPartyPlugin)

Django Filer support

django-filer (https://github.com/stefanfoulis/django-filer) has its own enhanced widget which conflicts with django-admin-enhancer; to enhance filer-based applications, use enhance_exclude attribute on your ModelAdmin to exclude filer-based fields from enhancement while allowing other fields to be enriched.

cmsplugin_filer (https://github.com/stefanfoulis/cmsplugin-filer) can be extended to support django-admin-enhancer like any other django CMS plugin; for better support admin_enhancer.contrib.filer defines a new ModelAdmin for ThumbnailOption class. To install it add admin_enhancer.contrib.filer to INSTALLED_APPS, before admin_enhancer.contrib.djangocms.
