Installation

PyPI

pip install django-taggit-helpers

GitHub (development branch)

pip install git+http://github.com/mfcovington/django-taggit-helpers.git@develop

Configuration

Add taggit_helpers to INSTALLED_APPS in settings.py:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    ...
    'taggit',
    'taggit_helpers',
)

Helper Classes

TaggitCounter

Display (and sort by) number of Taggit tags associated with tagged items.

from taggit_helpers import TaggitCounter
# For Django 1.9+, use this instead:
# from taggit_helpers.admin import TaggitCounter

class MyModelAdmin(TaggitCounter, admin.ModelAdmin):    # TaggitCounter before ModelAdmin
    list_display = (
        ...
        'taggit_counter',
    )

Note: Currently, the TaggableManager() field must be named tags.

Note: To avoid overcounting, set distinct=True if further annotating the queryset with Count():

queryset.annotate(m2m_field_count=Count('m2m_field', distinct=True))

TaggitListFilter

Filter records by Taggit tags for the current model only. Tags are sorted alphabetically by name.

from taggit_helpers import TaggitListFilter
# For Django 1.9+, use this instead:
# from taggit_helpers.admin import TaggitListFilter

class MyModelAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    list_filter = [TaggitListFilter]

TaggitStackedInline

Add stacked inline for Taggit tags to admin. Tags are sorted alphabetically by name.

from taggit_helpers import TaggitStackedInline
# For Django 1.9+, use this instead:
# from taggit_helpers.admin import TaggitStackedInline

class MyModelAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    inlines = [TaggitStackedInline]

TaggitTabularInline

Add tabular inline for Taggit tags to admin. Tags are sorted alphabetically by name.

from taggit_helpers import TaggitTabularInline
# For Django 1.9+, use this instead:
# from taggit_helpers.admin import TaggitTabularInline

class MyModelAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    inlines = [TaggitTabularInline]

Upgrading existing projects to Django 1.9+

App loading was refactored in Django 1.9. To make a Django 1.7/1.8 app Django 1.9-compatible with respect to django-taggit-helpers, run the following shell command in your app’s directory.

find . -name '*.py' | xargs perl -i -pe 's/from taggit_helpers import/from taggit_helpers.admin import/'
