django-nested-inlines

Overview

Django issue #9025

The easy-to-install package from silverfix (https://github.com/silverfix/django-nested-inlines) didn't seem to work directly for Django 1.7. There's other forks that provide some separate fixes, but none seemed to work alone, so I just merged a couple of forks and now I can use this for my Django 1.7 project.

The installation and usage info below is copied from silverfix.

Installation

pip install -e git+git://github.com/oknuutti/django-nested-inlines.git#egg=django-nested-inlines

Usage

nested_inlines.admin contains three ModelAdmin subclasses to enable nested inline support: NestedModelAdmin, NestedStackedInline, and NestedTabularInline. To use them:

1. Add nested_inlines to your INSTALLED_APPS before django.contrib.admin. This is because this app overrides certain admin templates and media.
2. Import NestedModelAdmin, NestedStackedInline, and NestedTabularInline wherever you want to use nested inlines.
3. On admin classes that will contain nested inlines, use NestedModelAdmin rather than the standard ModelAdmin.
4. On inline classes, use Nested versions instead of the standard ones.
5. Add an inlines = [MyInline,] attribute to your inlines and watch the magic happen.

Example

from django.contrib import admin
from nested_inlines.admin import NestedModelAdmin, NestedStackedInline, NestedTabularInline
from models import A, B, C

class MyNestedInline(NestedTabularInline):
	model = C

class MyInline(NestedStackedInline):
	model = B
	inlines = [MyNestedInline,]

class MyAdmin(NestedModelAdmin):
	inlines = [MyInline,]

admin.site.register(A, MyAdmin)
