I want to customize my Django Admin Search form.
Like this picture, I want to add select box to choose search fields.
Is there any built in parameter in Django? or Is there other way to make this possible?
enter image description here
I think you have to add search_fields to your model admin class, like below:
# admin.py
class MyModelAdmin(ModelAdmin):
...
search_fields = (
'field1',
'field2',
'field3',
)
This way the search will only apply to these fields of your model.

On a Django admin edit page, I would like to add a little search box to be able to filter a list of tags. The field tag is a many to many field.
Is there a special trick?
you can't add search field inside the box but you can search for the same field value at the top
add this to your admin.py file
#admin.py
from django.contrib import admin
from Your_app.models import Your_model
class example_class(admin.ModelAdmin):
search_fields = ['ManyToManyFiledname']
admin.site.register(Your_model,example_class)
I found the documentation on https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/admin/#django.contrib.admin.ModelAdmin.autocomplete_fields
The code below adds a search box:
class TagAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
search_fields = ['name']
class CompanyAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
autocomplete_fields = ['tags']
I have a user, admin and employee models, both employee and admin are related to the user model with a oneToOne field what i would like to do is in the admin form i have one field "user"
instead of having a drop down field with all users i would like to have a search box so that when i search for a specific user i find him and choose him to be an admin.
how?
i also tried to add user's fields to admin's form but i couldn't
i tried the inline thing, the parent_link in the admin's model... but i couldn't find a solution
Now i would like to minimise the search through the long users list by adding a search box to the field
I have solved this type of problem using django-ajax-selects package. Hope this will help you.
app/admin.py:
from ajax_select import register, LookupChannel
#register('users')
class UsersLookup(LookupChannel):
model = User
def get_query(self, q, request):
return self.model.objects.filter(username__icontains=q)
class EmployeeAdminForm(forms.ModelForm):
user = AutoCompleteSelectField('users', required=False,
help_text=None)
class Meta:
model = Employee
fields = '__all__'
settings.py
AJAX_LOOKUP_CHANNELS = {
'users' : {'model': 'auth.user', 'search_field': 'username'},
}
Use django's raw_id_fields. With that you can declare a foreign key object searchable.
I am building out a restaurant website and using Wagtail CMS Snippets for the owner to manage menu items. The list of menu items are getting rather long and I was wondering if there is any way to add a search input field to the Snippets admin window? Below is an annotated screenshot for visual reference. Thank you.
This can easily be solved by using Wagtail's ModelAdmin module (http://docs.wagtail.io/en/v1.8.1/reference/contrib/modeladmin/), all you need is to add this piece of code to your wagtail_hooks.py file:
from wagtail.contrib.modeladmin.options import (
ModelAdmin, modeladmin_register)
from .models import Product
class ProductAdmin(ModelAdmin):
model = Product
menu_label = 'Product' # ditch this to use verbose_name_plural from model
menu_icon = 'date' # change as required
menu_order = 200 # will put in 3rd place (000 being 1st, 100 2nd)
add_to_settings_menu = False # or True to add your model to the Settings sub-menu
exclude_from_explorer = False # or True to exclude pages of this type from Wagtail's explorer view
list_display = ('title', 'example_field2', 'example_field3', 'live')
list_filter = ('live', 'example_field2', 'example_field3')
search_fields = ('title',)
# Now you just need to register your customised ModelAdmin class with Wagtail
modeladmin_register(ProductAdmin)
It'll create a separate menu entry for your Products model that's customisable much like default Django Admin listing. Which means you can easily add different filters and sorters to a listing.
This is a very powerful feature and I myself don't show clients the "Snippets" section at all; it's just too simple and ugly. Instead, I create a separate ModelAdmin per snippet and this gives me the power of customisation.
The search bar will appear automatically once you set up your model to be indexed with the search system. You can do this by inheriting from the wagtail.wagtailsearch.index.Indexed class and defining a search_fields list on your model, as described here: http://docs.wagtail.io/en/v1.8.1/topics/search/indexing.html#wagtailsearch-indexing-models
(Note that if you're using Elasticsearch, you'll also need to run ./manage.py update_index to add the items to the search index.)
My model looks like this:
class Asset(models.Model):
serial_number = models.CharField(max_length=100, unique=True)
asset_tag = models.CharField(max_length=100, unique=True)
class WorkOrder(models.Model):
asset = models.ForeignKey(Asset)
Essentially, a work order is submitted and then an admin assigns an asset to the work order. The asset_tag field is a barcode that we can scan in. When editing the work order in the Django admin, by default the asset field is displayed as a <select> widget. What we want to be able to do is have a search field so that we can scan the asset tag and then search for the right asset in the DB to associate with the work order.
I know you can customize the Django admin foreign key to a hard coded query, but I can't figure out how to get it so it does a search based on a field on the admin page.
Did you take a look at raw_id_fields?
It should be pretty to close to what you're after.
If you are using Django >= 2.0, you can take advantage of a feature called autocomplete_fields. You must define search_fields on the related object’s ModelAdmin because the autocomplete search uses it.
Since you have a ForeignKey relationship to Asset in WorkOrder, in the admin.py of your app add the following:
from django.contrib import admin
#admin.register(Asset)
class AssetAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
search_fields = ["serial_number", "asset_tag"]
#admin.register(WorkOrder)
class WorkOrderAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
autocomplete_fields = ["asset"]
Add the fields you want to use for searching to search_fields, and add define autocomplete_fields as shown in the code above.
Now you can use the autocomplete_fields from django 2.0.
It's quite neat.
I have a model with lots of say CharField fields, that I would like to edit in the admin.
The problem is that each field takes up one line. How should I make them display like this (horizontally):

(they are not foreign keys)
Django 1.2 has ListEdit extension for the Admin
This is how you use it:
class AccountAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
list_display = ( 'Name','Type')
list_editable = ( 'Type', )
And this is how it looks like:
