Customize Page or PageAdmin

[Robert Slotboom]

Hi guys,

For one of my projects I definitely need to change the look for the page admin.

The point is that some fields from page extensions should move up from the tabs to a new fieldset underneath the first fieldset (the one with active, title, slug...)   

I tried to customize the admin (seo extention as an example)

from feincms.module.page.models import Page

from feincms.module.page.modeladmins import PageAdmin as OrigPageAdmin

from feincms.admin import item_editor

class PageAdmin(OrigPageAdmin):

    fieldsets = [

(None, {

'fields': [('active', 'in_navigation'), ('title', 'slug')],

}),

('Metadata', {

'fields': ['meta_keywords', 'meta_description',],

}),

(_('Other options'), {

'classes': ['collapse'],

'fields': [

'template_key', 'parent', 'override_url', 'redirect_to'],

}),

        # <-- insertion point, extensions appear here, see insertion_index

        # above

        item_editor.FEINCMS_CONTENT_FIELDSET,

    ]

admin.site.register(Page, PageAdmin)

But that leads to a fieldset containing the correct fields + a tab with the same fields.

Is it possible at all to customize things this way?

Best regards,

Rob

Hi Rob

If you modify the page admin this way, I suggest you also add the SEO extension to your own project, and remove the `modeladmin.add_extension_options` part.

https://github.com/feincms/feincms/blob/master/feincms/module/extensions/seo.py

This also means that you have to pass your own extension instead of 'feincms.module.extension.seo' to register_extensions.

I hope this is helpful.

Best regards,

Matthias

Hi Matthias,

Yes very helpfull, thanks.

A was afraid I had to define a custom Page Model....

Ze code.

settings

FEINCMS_USE_PAGE_ADMIN=False

SOUTH_MIGRATION_MODULES = {

'page': 'website.migrate.page',

}

models

Page.register_extensions(

'website.cms_extensions.page.seo',

'feincms.module.page.extensions.navigation',

)

custom extensions

class Extension(extensions.Extension):

    def handle_model(self):

        self.model.add_to_class('meta_keywords', models.TextField(

            _('meta keywords'),

            blank=True,

            help_text=_('Keywords are ignored by most search engines.')))

        self.model.add_to_class('meta_description', models.TextField(

            _('meta description'),

            blank=True,

            help_text=_('This text is displayed on the search results page. '

                        'It is however not used for the SEO ranking. '

                        'Text longer than 140 characters is truncated.')))

    def handle_modeladmin(self, modeladmin):

        modeladmin.extend_list(

            'search_fields',

            ['meta_keywords', 'meta_description'],

        )

Hi Matthias,

And after revisiting the admin page, it does not work anymore :-( Fieldset gone, tab returned...

FIX

I added 'classes': ['collapse'].

Removing this solved the question.
