add button to admin change list at row level.

[Wayne]

Hi,

We are trying to customize Django admin change list displaying model
objects. We want to add two buttons (Change, delete) to each row of
the record, something very similar to "Add" and "Change" buttons on
application list beside the model name. Could somebody give us some
hint on this? The "list_display" can only take existing fields, but
not the extra buttons we want to add, right? We do not want to provide
user with batch admin actions option. That is why we want to add
action to each row. Drop down actions menu is not our design
preference.

Thanks for your help.

The docs explain how you can use arbitrary ModelAdmin methods in
list_display, which will do what you want.
