Django MPTT Admin

[Matthias Kestenholz]

Hey,

A topic which comes up on this list from time to time is an automatic
admin interface for django-mptt. I'd like to advertise a piece of code
we have written at our company a little bit, and I'd also like to invite
everyone to give comments and feedbacks. I do have many more ideas
floating around, and there are a couple of issues still open, but I think
the code is ready for wider review and maybe usage, who knows?

The current version of the code generates an interface with drag/drop
capabilities for managing mptt-based trees. It's still very clear that the
code was extracted from a `classical' page cms. All you need to do
is the following:

-- 8< --

from django.db import models

class Category(models.Model):
title = models.CharField(max_length=200)
parent = models.ForeignKey('self', related_name='children',
blank=True, null=True)

-- 8< --

from django.contrib import admin
from feincms.admin import editor

class CategoryAdmin(editor.TreeEditorMixin, admin.ModelAdmin):
pass

admin.site.register(Category, CategoryAdmin)

-- 8< --

The generated admin interface looks like that:

The page cms feeling is still very much there, but we'll see.

In any case, you'll find the code on github:

Thanks,
Matthias

It seems very nice. I'm going to give it a try. :)

How to use Django Mttp Admin as an Inline in admin.py ?

[Neeraj Sharma]

Thanx for your quick response Matthias Kestenholz, but i actually i want to use MPTT Admin as an inline form, code you have written will work as a normal admin form
