I'm creating a Django app where all the models can be related to each other in an order set by the user. I'm setting all this up using GenericForeignKeys. The kicker is that I need to be able to support multiple collections of these types of relationship/admin. So one object can have a more than one collection of related objects.
Does anyone know of a good GenericForeignKey widget for this situation? Preferably, it would be an autocomplete search that populates the admin form since I can end up having a large number of objects.
Here is the code for my app to get a better idea of what I mean.
from django.contrib import admin
from django.contrib.contenttypes import generic
from django.contrib.contenttypes.models import ContentType
from django.db import models
from django import forms
# Models
class Base(models.Model):
title = models.CharField(max_length=255)
class Meta:
abstract = True
def __unicode__(self):
return self.title
class Related(Base):
""" A generic relationship model for relating resources.
"""
order = models.IntegerField(blank=True, null=True)
limit = models.Q(model = 'Apple') | models.Q(model = 'Orange') | models.Q(model = 'Pear')
content_type = models.ForeignKey(ContentType, related_name="related_%(class)s")
object_id = models.PositiveIntegerField(db_index=True)
object = generic.GenericForeignKey()
related_content_type = models.ForeignKey(ContentType, related_name="related_related_%(class)s", limit_choices_to = limit)
related_object_id = models.PositiveIntegerField(db_index=True)
related_object = generic.GenericForeignKey('related_content_type', 'related_object_id')
class Meta:
ordering = ('order',)
abstract = True
def __unicode__(self):
return self.object.title
class FreshFruit(Related):
pass
class OldFruit(Related):
pass
class Apple(Base):
pass
class Orange(Base):
pass
class Pear(Base):
pass
# Admin classes
class FreshFruitInline(generic.GenericStackedInline):
model = FreshFruit
extra = 1
# Admin classes
class OldFruitInline(generic.GenericStackedInline):
model = OldFruit
extra = 1
class AppleAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
inlines = [FreshFruitInline, OldFruitInline,]
admin.site.register(Apple, AppleAdmin)
class OrangeAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
inlines = [FreshFruitInline, OldFruitInline,]
admin.site.register(Orange, OrangeAdmin)
class PearAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
inlines = [FreshFruitInline, OldFruitInline,]
admin.site.register(Pear, PearAdmin)
I've searched and searched, and found widgets that do this for a ManyToMany relationship, but nothing for my situation.
Thanks for taking the time to look at this.
