Django bulk admin enables you to bulk add, bulk edit, bulk upload and bulk select in django admin.

Project description

django-bulk-admin

Django bulk admin enables you to bulk add, bulk edit, bulk upload and bulk select in django admin.

View the screenshots below to get an idea of how django bulk admin does look like.

Requires Django >= 1.7.

Quick start

  1. Install with pip:

    $ pip install django-bulk-admin
  2. Add “bulk_admin” to your INSTALLED_APPS setting like this:

    INSTALLED_APPS = (
        ...
        'bulk_admin',
    )
  3. Inherit from bulk_admin.BulkModelAdmin instead of django.contrib.admin.ModelAdmin:

    from django.contrib import admin
    from example_project import models
    
    import bulk_admin
    
    
    @admin.register(models.Image)
    class ImageAdmin(bulk_admin.BulkModelAdmin):
        search_fields = ('title',)
    
    
    @admin.register(models.Project)
    class ProjectAdmin(bulk_admin.BulkModelAdmin):
        raw_id_fields = ('images',)
  4. Enjoy!

Bulk Upload

By default, django bulk admin provides a bulk upload button for each field type that has an upload_to attribute, like FileField or ImageField. If you want to customize the provided buttons (or disable bulk upload at all), set bulk_upload_fields in the BulkAdminModel:

@admin.register(models.Image)
class ImageAdmin(bulk_admin.BulkModelAdmin):
    bulk_upload_fields = ()

When files are bulk uploaded, a model instance is created and saved for each file. If there are required fields, django bulk admin tries to set unique values (uuid) which can be edited by the uploading user in the next step. For setting custom values or to support non string fields that are required, override generate_data_for_file:

@admin.register(models.Image)
class ImageAdmin(bulk_admin.BulkModelAdmin):

    def generate_data_for_file(self, request, field_name, field_file, index):
        if field_name == 'data':
            return dict(title=field_file.name)
        return super(ImageAdmin, self).generate_data_for_file(request, field_name, file, index)

Caveats

  • No admin logs are generated for bulk operations

Customize Inline

Django bulk admin provides two inlines that are similar to those provided by django admin:

  • bulk_admin.TabularBulkInlineModelAdmin (which is the default)

  • bulk_admin.StackedBulkInlineModelAdmin

You can configure them exactly like django admin one’s:

from django.contrib import admin
from example_project import models

import bulk_admin


class ProjectInline(bulk_admin.StackedBulkInlineModelAdmin):
    model = models.Project
    raw_id_fields = ('images',)


@admin.register(models.Image)
class ImageAdmin(bulk_admin.BulkModelAdmin):
    search_fields = ('title',)


@admin.register(models.Project)
class ProjectAdmin(bulk_admin.BulkModelAdmin):
    raw_id_fields = ('images',)
    bulk_inline = ProjectInline
