In my django app I have modified the User entity to include a worker field (OneToOneField). But from the django admin site that field yiels so many result , so it is difficult for the logged user to select a worker. Is there any way to use the select2 (ModelSelect2Widget) widgets from the django admin site? For any regular form I have define the widgets in the following way:
from django_select2.forms import ModelSelect2Widget
class ProcessForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = ProcessModel
exclude = ('id',)
widgets = {
'name':forms.TextInput(attrs={'class': 'form-control'}),
'code':forms.TextInput(attrs={'class': 'form-control'}),
'description':forms.Textarea(attrs={'class': 'form-control'}),
'geom': LeafletWidget(),
'product': ModelSelect2Widget(model=ProductModel, queryset=ProductModel.objects.filter(),
search_fields=['name__icontains'],
attrs={'style': 'width: 100%;'}),
}
Is there any way to use the ModelSelect2Widget for the worker field in the admin site form? Here is my code:
class User(AbstractUser):
worker = models.OneToOneField(WorkerModel, on_delete=models.CASCADE,
related_name="user", verbose_name=_("Trabajador"), null=True, blank=True)
class Meta:
default_permissions = ()
verbose_name="Usuario"
verbose_name_plural="Usuarios"
permissions = (
("secretario", "Secretario(a)"),
("director", "Director"),
)
from django.contrib.auth.admin import UserAdmin
class UserAdminInherited(UserAdmin):
fieldsets = (
(None, {'fields': ('username', 'password')}),
(_('Personal info'), {'fields': ('first_name', 'last_name', 'email')}),
(_('Worker info'), {'fields': ('worker',)}),
(_('Permissions'), {
'fields': ('is_active', 'is_staff', 'is_superuser', 'groups', 'user_permissions'),
}),
(_('Important dates'), {'fields': ('last_login', 'date_joined')}),
)
admin.site.register(User, UserAdminInherited)
Since Django 2.0., we can use autocomplete_fields
.
autocomplete_fields is a list of ForeignKey and/or ManyToManyField fields you would like to change to Select2 autocomplete inputs.
ModelAdmin
(is parent of UserAdmin
) has the property autocomplete_fields
(Django Docs):
from django.contrib.auth.admin import UserAdmin
from django.contrib.auth import get_user_model
User = get_user_model()
class UserAdminInherited(UserAdmin):
autocomplete_fields = ['worker']
...
admin.site.register(User, UserAdminInherited)
You must define search_fields on the related object’s ModelAdmin because the autocomplete search uses it.
from django.contrib import admin
@admin.register(WorkerModel)
class WorkerModelAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
search_fields = ['model_field']
