django-admin-sortable2 0.5.0

Generic drag-and-drop sorting for the List, the Stacked- and the Tabular-Inlines Views in the Django Admin

A replacement for django-admin-sortable using an unintrusive approach.

This plugin is a generic drag-and-drop ordering module for sorting objects in the List, the Stacked- and the Tabular-Inlines Views in the Django Admin interface.

This module offers simple mixin classes which enrich the functionality of any existing class derived from admin.ModelAdmin, admin.StackedInline or admin.TabluarInline.

Thus it makes it very easy to integrate with existing models and their model admin interfaces. Existing models can continue to inherit from models.Model. No special base class is required.

News

Version 0.5.0 changed its naming convention.

Unfortunately, because both libraries django-admin-sortable and dkango-admin-sortable2, use the same package name: adminsortable, it is rather difficult if not impossible to use them side-by-side in the same project during transition. It also means that all of my migration history has to be either rewritten or discarded, because the existing migrations reference adminsortable.SortableForeignKey, which does not exist in this package.

Build status

Why should You use it?

All available plugins which add functionality to make list views for the Django admin interface sortable, offer a base class to be used instead of models.Model. This abstract base class then contains a hard coded position field, additional methods, and meta directives.

This inhibits to create sortable abstract models. django-admin-sortable2 does not have these restrictions.
