Re: Is there a way to add operations to an entity admin form?

well you can do it with a minimal overhead...

copy the django/contrib/admin/templates/change_form.html file to your
project/templates/admin/ folder.
The line with {% submit_row %} is what your are searching for: add
whatever you need.

Unisng the context parameter, pass to render_change_form whatever you
want to find in the change_form template. Remember to use mark_safe()
Then in your model admin.py you can do also some dirty (well I advised
you they are dirty) hacks like (in my case they works easily because
I know that my app will run in Italian only:

class ABCAdmin(admin.modelAdmin):
def render_change_form(self, request, context, add=False,
change=False, form_url='', obj=None):
ret = super(ABCAdmin, self).render_change_form(request, context,
add, change, form_url, obj)

# remove "add another"
ret.content = ret.content.replace('<input type="submit" value="Salva
e aggiungi un altro" name="_addanother" />', '')

# remove "add and continue"
ret.content = ret.content.replace('<input type="submit" value="Salva
e continua le modifiche" name="_continue" />', '')

# change the save button text to "send"
ret.content = ret.content.replace('Salva', 'Invia')

# add a link to import data using a csv (the link will point to a
url that is mapped to a custom view)
ret.content = ret.content.replace('Aggiungi messaggio inviato',
'Invia messaggio')
return ret
