Django admin inline: select all for delete? - django

Question

In django admin inline forms, there are checkboxes for deleting individual inline objects. Is there a way to enable selecting all of them at once for deletion?

Answer 1

Here's a solution I worked out:
In templates/admin/edit_inline/tabular.html
{% if inline_admin_formset.formset.can_delete %}<th>{% trans "Delete?" %} <input type="checkbox" class="selectall_checkbox"/></th>{% endif %}
and
<script type="text/javascript">
$('.selectall_checkbox').click(function(e) {
$(e.target).closest('table').find(':checkbox').filter(function () { return /DELETE/.test(this.name); }).each(function () {
this.checked = e.target.checked;
});
});
</script>

And here is a similar solution, but checkbox inserts with jQuery in footer block of admin/base_site.html template:
{% extends "admin/base.html" %}
...
{% block footer %}
<script type="text/javascript">
var $ = django.jQuery;
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.tabular table th:contains({% trans "Delete?" %})').each(function(index) {
var text = $(this).text();
$(this).html('<input type="checkbox" class="selectall_checkbox"> ' + text);
});
$('.selectall_checkbox').click(function(e) {
$(e.target).closest('table').find(':checkbox').filter(function () { return /DELETE/.test(this.name); }).each(function () {
this.checked = e.target.checked;
});
});
});
</script>
{% endblock footer %}
