ListColumn API

Arguments:

• field_name - callable function or string with model field, Model method name or current ModelAdmin method name.

Keyword arguments:

• header - change list column header. If not provided standard algorithm to header column calculation will be used.

• filter - template filters will be applied to value on output. It is string like this 'filter1|filter2:"arg"'.

• load_filters - list of required template tags libraries. This libraries will be load before apply template filters to output value. Eg.: ['tagging_tags', 'tagging_autocomplete_tags'].

Note: In admin area you can use "boolean_icon" template filter (it is provided by "admin_list" template library, this used to render admin change list). It is useful to display values of boolean fields or callables. It show green or red mark instead of True or False values. It is applied for boolean model fields by default (but not for callables) on render admin change list.

• order_field - string with model field name witch will be used to provide order by this column. If it provided for callable functions, its will be called with this field value in first argument instead of current object instance (this feature exists at least at svn rev. 14188 but currently is not documented).

• value_map - choices used to mapping display value. This can redefine choices from model field for shown in admin change list. If filter argument is provided, this is applied before template filters.

Example

Current way to admin change list view customization:

class Account(models.Model):
    foo = model.BooleanField(...)
    bar = model.CharField(...)
    baz = model.CharField(...)
    bonk = model.CharField(...)
    ends = models.DateTimeField()

    def get_bar_column(self):
        return ...
    get_bar_column.allow_tags = True
    get_bar_column.short_description = 'Bar'

    def timeuntil_ends():
        return ...


class AccountAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    list_display = ['foo', 'get_bar_column', 'baz', 'bonk', 'timeuntil_ends']

Proposed way:

class Account(models.Model):
    foo = model.BooleanField(...)
    bar = model.CharField(...)
    baz = model.CharField(...)
    bonk = model.CharField(...)
    ends = models.DateTimeField()

    def get_bar(self):
        return ...

class AccountAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):

    def formated_bonk(bonk):
        return ...

    bar_column = admin.ListColumn('get_bar', filter='safe', order_field='bar')

    list_display = [
        bar_column,
        admin.ListColumn('foo', header='Foo Description', filter='boolean_icon'),
        'baz',
        'bonk',
        admin.ListColumn('ends', filter='timeuntil', header="Ending in"),
        admin.ListColumn('formated_bonk', order_field="bonk")
    ]
    list_display_link = [bar_column, 'bonk']
