Is it possible to add action button to ModelAdmin?

[rani....@snip.today]

Hi,

I built a simple ModelAdmin page to my posts and I would like to add more buttons to it.

In the explorer page it was pretty easy using the hooks: http://docs.wagtail.io/en/v1.5/reference/hooks.html#register-page-listing-buttons

I couldn't find how to do it in a ModelAdmin page.

Would appreciate you help!

Hi Rani,
There's some new documentation about customising ModelAdmin, currently in review here:
https://github.com/torchbox/wagtail/pull/2902
In particular, I believe the section on button_helper_class will be relevant:
https://github.com/rkhleics/wagtail/blob/932392ba165d5077c626710b1a3635d67459943b/docs/reference/contrib/modeladmin/primer.rst#L345

Cheers,

Hi,

Great! It works.

Is it possible to call JS function using my new button? :)

Thanks

My code, in case someone would need it in the future:

class MyButtonHelper(PageButtonHelper):
    def test_button(self, pk, classnames_add=[], classnames_exclude=[]):
        classnames = self.copy_button_classnames + classnames_add
        cn = self.finalise_classname(classnames, classnames_exclude)
        return {
            'url': self.url_helper.get_action_url('copy', quote(pk)),
            'label': _('test'),
            'classname': cn,
            'title': _('test this %s') % self.verbose_name,
        }

    def get_buttons_for_obj(self, obj, exclude=[], classnames_add=[],
                            classnames_exclude=[]):

        pk = quote(getattr(obj, self.opts.pk.attname))
        btns = super(MyButtonHelper, self).get_buttons_for_obj(obj, exclude, classnames_add, classnames_exclude)

        if 'test' not in exclude:
            btns.append(
                self.test_button(pk, classnames_add, classnames_exclude)
        )
        return btns

Just add this to the modelAdmin:

button_helper_class = MyButtonHelper
