Easily add tabs to django admin forms.

Django tabbed admin

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.

Grappelli:

Install

It is strongly recommanded to install this theme from GIT with PIP onto you project virtualenv.

From Github

https://github.com/omji/django-tabbed-admin#egg=tabbed_admin

setup

Simply add the app in your installed apps list in settings.py

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    ...
    'tabbed_admin'
    ...
)

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.

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)
    ]

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.

class BandAdmin(TabbedModelAdmin):
    model = Band

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

    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)
