Adding links to full change forms for inline items in django admin

You can use the URL resolver directly in a template, there's no need to write your own filter. E.g.

{% url 'admin:index' %}

{% url 'admin:polls_choice_add' %}

{% url 'admin:polls_choice_change' choice.id %}

{% url 'admin:polls_choice_changelist' %}

I've found one way to achieve what I want, by using proxy models to get around the fact that each model may be registered only once.

class PostAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    list_display = ('title', 'pubdate','user')

class MyPost(Post):
    class Meta:
        proxy = True

class MyPostAdmin(PostAdmin):
    def get_queryset(self, request):
        return self.model.objects.filter(user = request.user)


admin.site.register(Post, PostAdmin)
admin.site.register(MyPost, MyPostAdmin)

Then the default PostAdmin would be accessible at /admin/myapp/post and the list of posts owned by the user would be at /admin/myapp/myposts.

After looking at http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/DynamicModels, I've come up with the following function utility function to do the same thing:

def create_modeladmin(modeladmin, model, name = None):
    class  Meta:
        proxy = True
        app_label = model._meta.app_label

    attrs = {'__module__': '', 'Meta': Meta}

    newmodel = type(name, (model,), attrs)

    admin.site.register(newmodel, modeladmin)
    return modeladmin

This can be used as follows:

class MyPostAdmin(PostAdmin):
    def get_queryset(self, request):
        return self.model.objects.filter(user = request.user)

create_modeladmin(MyPostAdmin, name='my-posts', model=Post)
