The Django admin allows to list rows in an easy way. Some feature that seems to be "missing" is to jump in an efficient way to the detail view of a related object. For example if a model A has a ForeignKey to B, then the ModelAdmin of A can show the __str__ of B, but without a link.
This package provides a mixin to effectively add such links.
You can install the package with:
pip install django-adminlink
Once the package is installed, you can use the LinkFieldAdminMixin mixin in the admins where you want ForeignKeys and OneToOneFields to be linked to the corresponding admin detail view of that object:
from django.contrib import admin
from django_adminlink.admin import LinkFieldAdminMixin
@admin.register(Movie)
class MovieAdmin(LinkFieldAdminMixin, admin.ModelAdmin):
list_display = ['__str__', 'genre']If genre is a ForeignKey to a Genre model for example, and Genre has its own ModelAdmin, it will automatically convert genre into a column that adds a link to the admin detail view of the corresponding genre.
