Re: Foreign key with tons of items
Use "raw_id_field" useful when you have a Foreign Key on another model with lots of records.

I haven't yet get rid of those too-much-long inline drop down menus. I was thinking to use js to open up a window and let the user choose from some hyerarchical menu... something like a first drop down menu for the category and then a second drop down menu for the real product, the latter being properly filtered by category. Could anyone provide some tips on how to get this?

Re: Foreign key with tons of items
Hello everybody, I have a similar problem: a too long drop-down menu inside an inline element in the admin page. Is it possible to limit the items displayed in the drop-down list, filtering them by the value of other fields?

Re: Foreign key with tons of items
Dear Lars, thank you very much for your kind and fast reply. Lars Stavholm wrote: [...] > Have you tried filter_horizontal? > http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/admin/#filter-horizontal I am not sure I can really use filter_horizontal in my scenario. The actual structure I am using fom my models.py is this [0]. Hence, my "too-much-populated" drop down menu appears inside an inline element. Which, I think, makes things even worse. I really wish someone of you can help me and shed a bit of light on this. Cheers, Fabio.

Foreign key with tons of items
Hi everybody. In my admin page I have a field for a foreign key with hundreds of items. That results in a drop down menu which is very difficult and annoying to use. This is my models.py: class Prod2(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=30) class Prod1(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=30) belongs_to = models.ForeignKey(Prod2) class Prod0(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=30) belongs_to = models.ForeignKey(Prod2) price = models.DecimalField(max_digits=10, decimal_places=2) #...some more details... class Purchase(models.Model): product = models.ForeignKey(Prod0) amount = models.DecimalField(max_digits=10, decimal_places=2) #...some more details... My drop-down-menu-excessive-lenght problem arises when you want to create a new Purchase item via the admin page. As you can see my products are organized in a hyerarchy, Prod0 being the real products and Prod1 and Prod2 groups and super-groups of products, respectively. I wonder which is the best way to have a nice, friendly drop down menu, possibly taking advantage of the product hyerarchy (with some kind of multi level structure...). Is there a way to customize the admin page without having to write the whole page from scratch? Shall I have to add some Javascript? Any tips will be really appreciated. Links to code, docs and whatever are welcome. All the best, -- Fabio Natali --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
