Simon,
I think we're both looking for the same feature. Here's another
example. Say I have an address model:
class Address(models.Model):
address1 = models.CharField(maxlength=100)
address2 = models.CharField(maxlength=100)
city = models.CharField(maxlength=32)
state = models.StateField()
zip = models.CharField(maxlength=11)
I want to apply it to a School and Restaurant model:
class School(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(maxlength=32)
description = models.TextField()
address = models.ForeignKey(Address,
edit_inline_here=models.STACKED)
class Restaurant(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(maxlength=32)
address = models.ForeignKey(Address,
edit_inline_here=models.STACKED)
Note that I used a fake keyword "edit_inline_here". What this would
theoretically do is, instead of putting School and Restaurant sections
in the Address admin view, the School and Restaurant's admin view
would get an Address section. Using "edit_inline", the Address admin
view would have both School and Restaurant blocks, which doesn't
really make sense.
I wouldn't mind trying to add this to the admin app myself; could
someone point me to where in the code I should start looking?
Thanks!
-berto.
