I have a model that looks like (working example)
from django.db import models
from django.contrib.contenttypes import generic
from django.contrib.contenttypes.models import ContentType
class Dependency( models.Model ):
target_ct = models.ForeignKey( ContentType, related_name='dependency_for_set' )
target_id = models.IntegerField()
target = generic.GenericForeignKey( 'target_ct', 'target_id' )
source_ct = models.ForeignKey( ContentType, related_name='dependent_on_set' )
source_id = models.IntegerField()
source = generic.GenericForeignKey( 'source_ct', 'source_id' )
and I want to be able to edit it inline with other models, but the current implementations only support edit_inline for foreign key relations. With the attached patch I can do something like this:
from django.contrib import admin
class SomeModel( models.Model ):
text = models.TextField()
class SomeModelOptions( admin.ModelAdmin ):
inlines = [ admin.TabularInline( Dependency, name='source_ct:source_id', formset=generic.GenericInlineFormset ), ]
admin.site.register( SomeModel , SomeModelOptions )
The patch is very rough, but working (tested adding and editing).
I have some questions for the authors (I will post it to django-dev):
- InlineFormset?.rel_name is not really applicable in this case, what would be best to use as a prefix (the value in tha patch - 'aaa' is far from ideal ;) )
- I moved some of the functionality to FormSet? (add_fk), to allow for custom binding between objects and use content_type_field:object_id_field as the foreign key name to pass that information. I feel that its not the most elegant solution, could anybody help me out here with some ideas?
btw. Great work, Joseph Kocherhans, your implementation of edit_inline really made this easy for me, thanks.
