Re: Displaying And Selecting Tags in Admin Site

Hi again

Have tried out this app and it is exactly what I was looking for!

I strongly recommend it for anyone who wants an easy way to manage attaching and removing tags in the admin site

Thanks again for your help : )

Hi All

New to Django and coding in general, so sorry if this has been covered - I did search the group postings, have read the documentation, trawled the net etc, but couldn't find anything directly relevant

I have been following various tutorials (django homepage, youtube etc) for how to start creating a blog site

What I would like to do seems really simple, but I cannot find a solution

Django 1.5 on Ubuntu Server 12.04LTS

It uses Taggable Manager, so in models.py we see

#models.py

from taggit.managers import TaggableManager

class Post(models.Model):

    title = models.CharField(max_length=100)

    ....

    tags = TaggableManager()

#admin.py

from blog.models import Post

class PostAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):

    fieldsets = [

        ('Title',      {'fields': ['title']}),

        ......

        ('Tags',     {'fields': ['tags'], 'classes': ['collapse']}),

    ]

admin.site.register(Post, PostAdmin)

____

This works fine

What I would like to do is change the way that tags can be viewed and selected in the admin site

Currently, it is as a comma separated list

I would like to pre-create the tags, then see them in a drop down, or table, or similar, so that one or more may be selected

The view I am looking to achieve would be as if 'filter_horizontal = ['tags']' had been applied

However, I cannot find a way to do it

I have tried to give the tags a separate class, with a ManyToManyField link into Post, but any tags that are created are not displayed - and this is probably really not the right approach

So is it possible to change the way that tags from TaggableManager is displayed? Can it be as a selection box, or check boxes or anything else? Or are we stuck with the list approach?

Any advice would be gratefully received

Many Thanks

Jon
