Problem

Default delete_selected action using delete method of queryset so need to use pre_delete and post_delete signals.

Solution

Disable delete_selected action for all applications and models, but for some models this is crazy.

Installing

The easiest way to install package is with pip!

You can install from PyPI (for Django==1.4):

$ pip install django-custom_delete_selected

Or GitHub for Django==1.4:

$ pip install -e git+https://github.com/saippuakauppias/django-custom_delete_selected.git@django_v1.4#egg=custom_delete_selected

Or GitHub for Django==1.3.x:

$ pip install -e git+https://github.com/saippuakauppias/django-custom_delete_selected.git@django_v1.3.x#egg=custom_delete_selected

Or from source:

$ git clone https://github.com/saippuakauppias/django-custom_delete_selected.git
$ cd django-custom_delete_selected
$ python setup.py install

Usage

Import custom_delete_selected.admin.CustomDeleteSelected to extend ModelAdmin class and override delete_model method. For example:

from django.contrib import admin
from custom_delete_selected.admin import CustomDeleteSelected


class MyModelAdmin(CustomDeleteSelected, admin.ModelAdmin):

    # your code

    def delete_model(self, request, obj):
        # pre delete operations
        super(MyModelAdmin, self).delete_model(request, obj)
        # post delete operations

This code allow extends you deleting one object (when delete from change_form) and same objects (when delete from change_list).
