Re: Rendering TabuarInline inside ModelAdmin without a foreign key

Hi list,

I have a table of orders where one of the columns is a IntegerField containing the id of a user who created the order. 

Since it's not a FK field django admin can't display these orders inline inside the user details page.

I would normally use something like:

class OrderInline(admin.TabularInline):

    extra = 0

    model = Order

And then add that to the user model like this:

inlines = [OrderInline]

But it won't work without the FK.

I've Googled around and tried everything I found on SO but I can't figure out how to add orders inline to my user model.

I'm looking at https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/_modules/django/contrib/contenttypes/admin/#GenericTabularInline and I'm thinking do I need to write a similar class or is there something easy and simple I'm missing.

Cheers,

Mario

You don't show your models, but why is it not a ForeignKey? After all, a FK field is exactly what you describe, an integer field that contains the ID of the model it is pointing to. So why not declare it as one?
