django-admin

How do I add a custom button to the admin listing?

What I want is to put a custom button in each row of a page of the admin listing.
These buttons will have a function associate to it acting over that line.
I've already knew the "admin actions", but it's not what I want, ok?

Thank you!

Solution

  • You can declare in your ModelAdmin a function to generate the html for your button, e.g.

        def button(self, obj):
        return mark_safe('<input type="...">')
    title.short_description = 'Action'
    title.allow_tags = True

    And then put it in your in your list_display-tuple.

    class MyAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin)
    list_display=('name', 'button')
