From GitHub

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

Setup

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

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    ...
    'django_tabbed_admin2',
    ...
)

Django-tabbed-admin, by default, requires the Jquery UI tabs plugin to work. It is packaged with the static files required for functionality, but they are not activated by default to avoid conflicts with other libraries.

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

TABBED_ADMIN_USE_JQUERY_UI = True

Configure Admin Tabs

To add tabs to a model admin, it should inherit from tabbed_admin.TabbedModelAdmin and contain a tabs attribute. The tabs attribute configuration is similar to the fieldsets and inlines setup logic.

A tuple can be created for each tab in 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 has 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 be:

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 to avoid conflicts during form saving. Both attributes are overwritten with the entries passed to the tabs attribute. For the same reasons, it is highly recommended 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 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'
