Installation

Install django-admin-action-tools by running:

poetry add django-admin-action-tools

Add admin_action_tools to INSTALLED_APPS in your project settings before django.contrib.admin:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    ...
    'admin_action_tools',

    'django.contrib.admin',

    ...
    'widget_tweaks'
    ...
]

To use ActionFormMixin you also need to add widget_tweaks to the INSTALLED_APPS

Note that this project follows the template override rules of Django. To override a template, your app should be listed before admin_confirm, admin_form in INSTALLED_APPS.

Configuration Options

Environment Variables:

Caching is used to cache files for confirmation. When change/add is submitted on the ModelAdmin, if confirmation is required, files will be cached until all validations pass and confirmation is received.

• ADMIN_CONFIRM_CACHE_TIMEOUT default: 1000
• ADMIN_CONFIRM_CACHE_KEY_PREFIX default: admin_confirm__file_cache

Attributes:

• confirm_change Optional[bool] - decides if changes should trigger confirmation
• confirm_add Optional[bool] - decides if additions should trigger confirmation
• confirmation_fields Optional[Array[string]] - sets which fields should trigger confirmation for add/change. For adding new instances, the field would only trigger a confirmation if it's set to a value that's not its default.
• change_confirmation_template Optional[string] - path to custom html template to use for change/add
• action_confirmation_template Optional[string] - path to custom html template to use for actions

Note that setting confirmation_fields without setting confirm_change or confirm_add would not trigger confirmation for change/add. Confirmations for actions does not use the confirmation_fields option.

Method Overrides: If you want even more control over the confirmation, these methods can be overridden:

• get_confirmation_fields(self, request: HttpRequest, obj: Optional[Object]) -> List[str]
• render_change_confirmation(self, request: HttpRequest, context: dict) -> TemplateResponse
• render_action_confirmation(self, request: HttpRequest, context: dict) -> TemplateResponse

Usage

AdminConfirmMixin

It can be configured to add a confirmation page on ModelAdmin upon:

• saving changes
• adding new instances
• performing actions

Confirm Change:

    from admin_confirm import AdminConfirmMixin

    class MyModelAdmin(AdminConfirmMixin, ModelAdmin):
        confirm_change = True
        confirmation_fields = ['field1', 'field2']

This would confirm changes on changes that include modifications onfield1 and/or field2.

Confirm Add:

    from admin_confirm import AdminConfirmMixin

    class MyModelAdmin(AdminConfirmMixin, ModelAdmin):
        confirm_add = True
        confirmation_fields = ['field1', 'field2']

This would confirm add on adds that set field1 and/or field2 to a non default value.

Note: confirmation_fields apply to both add/change confirmations.

Confirm Action:

    from admin_confirm import AdminConfirmMixin

    class MyModelAdmin(AdminConfirmMixin, ModelAdmin):
        actions = ["action1", "action2"]

        def action1(modeladmin, request, queryset):
            # Do something with the queryset

        @confirm_action()
        def action2(modeladmin, request, queryset):
            # Do something with the queryset

        action2.allowed_permissions = ('change',)

This would confirm action2 but not action1.

Action confirmation will respect allowed_permissions and the has_xxx_permission methods.

Note: AdminConfirmMixin does not confirm any changes on inlines

Confirm Object Action:

    from admin_confirm import AdminConfirmMixin
    from django_object_actions import DjangoObjectActions

    class MyModelAdmin(AdminConfirmMixin, DjangoObjectActions, ModelAdmin):
        change_actions = ["action1"]

        @confirm_action()
        def action1(self, request, object):
            # Do something with the object

AdminFormMixin

Action Form

    from admin_confirm import ActionFormMixin, add_form_to_action
    from myapp.form import NoteActionForm
    from django_object_actions import DjangoObjectActions

    class MyModelAdmin(ActionFormMixin, DjangoObjectActions, ModelAdmin):
        change_actions = ["object_action"]

        @add_form_to_action(NoteActionForm)
        def action1(modeladmin, request, queryset, form=None):
            # Do something with the queryset

        @add_form_to_action(NoteActionForm)
        def object_action(modeladmin, request, object, form=None):
            # Do something with the object

Chaining tools

    from admin_confirm import AdminConfirmMixin, ActionFormMixin, confirm_action, add_form_to_action
    from django_object_actions import DjangoObjectActions
    from myapp.form import NoteActionForm

    class MyModelAdmin(AdminConfirmMixin, ActionFormMixin, DjangoObjectActions, ModelAdmin):
        change_actions = ["action1"]

        @add_form_to_action(NoteActionForm)
        @confirm_action()
        def action1(self, request, object, form=None):
            # Do something with the object

This will chain form and confirmation. The confirmation page will have the actions & form values displayed. If you only want the action (same as confirm only), you can pass the following argument

    from admin_confirm import AdminConfirmMixin, ActionFormMixin, confirm_action, add_form_to_action
    from django_object_actions import DjangoObjectActions
    from myapp.form import NoteActionForm

    class MyModelAdmin(AdminConfirmMixin, ActionFormMixin, DjangoObjectActions, ModelAdmin):
        change_actions = ["action1"]

        @add_form_to_action(NoteActionForm)
        @confirm_action(display_form=False)
        def action1(self, request, object, form=None):
            # Do something with the object and form

    from admin_confirm import AdminConfirmMixin, ActionFormMixin, confirm_action, add_form_to_action
    from django_object_actions import DjangoObjectActions
    from myapp.form import NoteActionForm, SecondForm

    class MyModelAdmin(AdminConfirmMixin, ActionFormMixin, DjangoObjectActions, ModelAdmin):
        change_actions = ["action1"]

        @add_form_to_action(NoteActionForm)
        @add_form_to_action(SecondForm)
        @confirm_action()
        def action1(self, request, object, forms=None):
            # Do something with the object and forms

This will chain 2 forms and confirmation. The confirmation page will have the actions & form values displayed.

if you want to not display the impacted objects, you can use

    from admin_confirm import AdminConfirmMixin, ActionFormMixin, confirm_action, add_form_to_action
    from django_object_actions import DjangoObjectActions
    from myapp.form import NoteActionForm, SecondForm

    class MyModelAdmin(AdminConfirmMixin, ActionFormMixin, DjangoObjectActions, ModelAdmin):
        change_actions = ["action1"]

        @add_form_to_action(NoteActionForm, display_queryset=False)
        @add_form_to_action(SecondForm, display_queryset=False)
        @confirm_action(display_queryset=False)
        def action1(self, request, object, forms=None):
            # Do something with the object and forms
