🔧 Advanced Features

Tabbed Inline Admin

Create tabbed inline interfaces for related objects:

from django_daisy.mixins import NavTabMixin

class ChoiceInline(admin.TabularInline, NavTabMixin):
    model = Choice
    extra = 1

@admin.register(Poll)
class PollAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    inlines = [ChoiceInline]

Tabbed Fieldsets

Convert fieldsets into navigation tabs:

@admin.register(MyModel)
class MyModelAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    fieldsets = (
        (None, {
            'fields': ('username', 'password')
        }),
        ('Personal Info', {
            'fields': ('first_name', 'last_name', 'email'),
            'classes': ('navtab',),  # Creates a tab
        }),
        ('Permissions', {
            'fields': ('is_active', 'is_staff', 'is_superuser'),
        }),
    )

    path("i18n/", include("django.conf.urls.i18n")),
    # ... other patterns
]

MIDDLEWARE = [
    'django.middleware.locale.LocaleMiddleware',
    # ... other middleware
