How do I Display Intermediary Fields for M2M Models in admin interface?
I have following model.py file in which Charges model have M2M field farms with an intermediate model Membership.
class Farm(mode开发者_运维问答ls.Model):
farmNo = models.CharField(max_length=100)
size = models.CharField(max_length=50)
description = models.TextField()
class Charges(models.Model):
chargeDescription = models.TextField(verbose_name="Description")
chargeType = models.CharField(max_length=10,choices=CHARGE_TYPE)
farms = models.ManyToManyField(Farm,through='Membership')
class Meta:
verbose_name_plural = "Charges"
class Membership(models.Model):
farm = models.ForeignKey(Farm)
charges = models.ForeignKey(Charges)
paymentDate = models.DateField()
paymentStatus = models.BooleanField(default=False)
My problem is that when i create a new object using django admin app for Charges model "farms" M2mM field doesnot shows up and that way i cannot assign charges to farms.I am wondering why the widget is not showing up and how can I again show that widget for user to select farms while create a charge.
I tried overriding def formfield_for_manytomany(self, db_field, request=None, **kwargs):
method which is causing widget not to show on screen but still its not appearing on screen.
Please help Thanks
It won't because it can't add a Farm without collecting the additional data on Membership. You have to use inlines, but even then, you have to inline Membership, not Farm.
class MembershipInlineAdmin(admin.TabularInline):
class Meta:
model = Membership
extra = 1
class ChargesAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
inlines = [
MembershipInlineAdmin,
]
admin.site.register(Charges, ChargesAdmin)
You can then select an existing Farm or create a new Farm in the normal way on each Membership you add.
