Description

Django-generic-admin-actions are admin actions without an item selection. They work exactly like original admin actions but without taking a queryset. This is useful for actions that are model (and not object) related or that should manipulate model objects as a whole.

Installation

Install from pypi.org:

pip install django-generic-admin-actions

Getting started

Add generic_admin_actions to your installed apps:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    'generic_admin_actions',
    'django.contrib.admin',
    ...
]

Since we overwrite the change_list.html template the app must be listed before django’s admin-site.

Use the GenericActionsMixin for your ModelAdmin classes and add some actions:

from django.contrib import admin
from generic_admin_actions import GenericActionsMixin

def my_action(modeladmin, request):
    # Do some stuff here.

class MyModelAdmin(GenericActionsMixin, admin.ModelAdmin):
    ...
    generic_actions = [
        my_action,
        ...
    ]

Generic admin actions working all the same as original admin actions with the difference that their don’t take a queryset. So for more advanced setups like actions with intermediate pages please follow django’s official documentation.

Usage

On your model’s change-list-view choose the generic action from the dropdown and press the “Go” button.
