How to include rows of data in a single django model entry? - django

Question

I am working on multiple django sites and have been limited in making my project look nice for clients.
For example in the same app I have two models images and image galleries. It would be so much nicer to just have an admin entry for galleries and in that a table of images.

Answer 1

That's exactly what InlineModelAdmin is for. Taken a models.py like this:
class Gallery(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=100)
class Image(models.Model):
image = models.ImageField()
gallery = models.ForeignKey(Gallery)
You create an admin.py like this and only register an admin class for the Gallery:
class ImageInline(admin.TabularInline):
model = Image
class GalleryAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
inlines = [ImageInline]
admin.site.register(Gallery, GalleryAdmin)

Answer 2

This is my solution thanks to Dirk's help.
from django.db import models
PHOTO_PATH = 'media_gallery'
class Gallerys(models.Model):
title = models.CharField(max_length=30, help_text='Title of the image maximum 30 characters.')
slug = models.SlugField(unique_for_date='date', help_text='This is automatic, used in the URL.')
date = models.DateTimeField()
class Meta:
verbose_name_plural = "Image Galleries"
ordering = ('-date',)
def __unicode__(self):
return self.title
class Images(models.Model):
title = models.CharField(max_length=30, help_text='Title of the image maximum 30 characters.')
content = models.FileField(upload_to=PHOTO_PATH,blank=False, help_text='Ensure the image size is small and it\'s aspect ratio is 16:9.')
gallery = models.ForeignKey(Gallerys)
date = models.DateTimeField()
class Meta:
verbose_name_plural = "Images"
ordering = ('-date',)
def __unicode__(self):
return self.title
import models
from django.contrib import admin
class ImageInline(admin.TabularInline):
model = Images
class GallerysAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
list_display = ('title', 'date', 'slug')
inlines = [ImageInline]
admin.site.register(models.Gallerys,GallerysAdmin)
