Extending Your Admin

ExpandableModelAdmin allows for forms in the admin to have fields dynamically defined and added to them. If a ModelAdmin that inherits from this class is registered in the admin, then creating a form definition with the key <app_label>_<object_name> and adding fields will add fields you your admin.

Adding a form definition using the admin with the key “myapp_mymodel” would add dynamically fields to the MyModel admin below:

from django.contrib import admin
from fieldmaker.admin import ExpandableModelAdmin

from myapp.models import MyModel

class MyModelAdmin(ExpandableModelAdmin):
    pass

admin.site.register(MyModel, MyModelAdmin)
