django-smart-admin
SmartAdmin is a set of small Django Admin utilities that aims to remove some of the common annoying configuration issues:
It is not intended to be a fully replacement of the official Admin, but only offers a set of mixin/utilities the often ( at least for me) need to be copied/pasted in each project.
Bonus
- easily group models by context instead by app
- display admin logentry for any user
- display group members
- display user permissions
- display permission owners
- Display all columns ModelAdmin mixin
- log added/removed permissions for User/Group
- log added/removed groups for User
- ability to set
readonly_fields = ('__all__',)(ReadOnlyMixin) - display all model fields in
changelist(DisplayAllMixin) - automatically creates filter for each indexed field (SmartAutoFilterMixin)
- improved fieldset allows the use of
__others__to include any field not included in others fieldsets (FieldsetMixin) - ability to customise Autocomplete labels
- user defined "site panels"
Components
- LinkedObjectsMixin
- ReadOnlyMixin
- FieldsetMixin
- DisplayAllMixin
