django-tabbed-admin-u 1.0.4

Patched with 'ugettext/gettext' support for django-tabbed-admin

Django tabbed admin u

Simple library to easilly add tabs to admin forms. It also allows users to re-order inlines and fieldsets. Django tabbed admin is compatible with django-grappelli and django-gipsy. Patched with ‘ugettext/gettext’ selection to solve import error with later versions of Django, and to keep backwards compatibility for previous versions.

Django-tabbed-admin by default requires Jquery UI tabs plugin in order to work. It is packaged with the static files required to make it funcitonnal, however, they are not activated by default to avoid a conflict with other libraries.

In order to activate the Jquery UI statics, add the following line to the project settings:

TABBED_ADMIN_USE_JQUERY_UI = True

Configure admin tabs

In order to add tabs to a model admin, it should inherit from tabbed_admin.TabbedModelAdmin and contain a tabs attribute. The tab attribute configuration tries to remain similar to the fieldsets and inlines setup logic.

Basically, a tuple can be created for each tab exactely the same way as for fieldsets, except that inlines can be added anywhere in between.

tab_overview = (
    (None, {
        'fields': ('name', 'bio', 'style')
    }),
    MusicianInline,
    ('Contact', {
        'fields': ('agent', 'phone', 'email')
    })
)

Then each tuple have to be passed to a tabs attribute prefixed by the verbose name to display within the tab:

tabs = [
    ('Overview', tab_overview),
    ('Albums', tab_album)
]

A full example would give:

from django.contrib import admin

from tabbed_admin import TabbedModelAdmin
from .models import Band, Musician, Album


class MusicianInline(admin.StackedInline):
    model = Musician
    extra = 1


class AlbumInline(admin.TabularInline):
    model = Album
    extra = 1


@admin.register(Band)
class BandAdmin(TabbedModelAdmin):
    model = Band

    tab_overview = (
        (None, {
            'fields': ('name', 'bio', 'style')
        }),
        MusicianInline,
        ('Contact', {
            'fields': ('agent', 'phone', 'email')
        })
    )
    tab_album = (
        AlbumInline,
    )
    tabs = [
        ('Overview', tab_overview),
        ('Albums', tab_album)
    ]

Configure tabs dynamically

Be warned that the tabs will completely reset the fieldsets and inlines attributes in order to avoid conflicts during the form saving. Both attributes are overwritten with the entries passed to the tabs attribute. For the same reasons, it is highly recommanded not to overwrite get_fieldsets or get_inlines.

You can pass and modify the tabs dynamically the same way you would do for fieldsets or inlines.

def get_tabs(self, request, obj=None):
    tabs = self.tabs
    if obj is not None:
        tab_overview = self.tab_overview + ('Social', {
            'fields': ('website', 'twitter', 'facebook')
        })
        tab_ressources = self.tab_ressources + (InterviewInline, )
        tabs = [
            ('Overview', tab_overview),
            ('Ressources', tab_ressources)
        ]
    self.tabs = tabs
    return super(BandAdmin, self).get_tabs(request, obj)

Change the jquery ui

You can change the jquery ui css and js by either overriding the media in the admin class

class Media:
    css = {
        'all': ('css/jquery-ui.theme.min.css',)
    }

or by changing the the following settings,

TABBED_ADMIN_JQUERY_UI_CSS and TABBED_ADMIN_JQUERY_UI_JS

TABBED_ADMIN_JQUERY_UI_CSS = 'static/css/my-custom-jquery-ui.css'
TABBED_ADMIN_JQUERY_UI_JS = 'static/js/my-custom-jquery-ui.js'
