How To Show Related Objects In Django/admin?

I have 2 models: from django.db import models class Category(models.Model): icon = models.ImageField(upload_to = 'thing/icon/') image = models.ImageField(upload_to = 'thin

Solution 1:

You can use "Inlines" to visualize and edit Things of a certain Category in the admin detail for that category:

In the admin.py file, create an Inline object for Thing (ThingInline) and modify your CategoryAdmin class to have an inline of type ThingInline like this:

...
classThingInline(admin.TabularInline):
    model =Thing

classCategoryAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    inlines = [
        ThingInline,
    ]
...

For further details, this is the docs for admin inlines: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/admin/#inlinemodeladmin-objects

Solution 2:

update admin.py file like this.

from django.contrib import admin
from .views import Category, Thing

classCategoryAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    inlines = [
        ThingInline,
    ]

classThingInline(admin.TabularInline):
    model = Thing

admin.site.register(Category, CategoryAdmin) 
admin.site.register(Thing)

There are two inline options TabularInline and StackedInline

Solution 3:

Few minutes ago, searching how to solve a similar problem, I finally found a solution.

You actually have to follow @Matteo Scotuzzi answer as well, then

Inside admin.py located in the app your created those models, you have to declare as follows right bellow @Matteo snippet:

admin.site.register(Category, CategoryAdmin)

and that would be enough to make all "Things" appear in "Category" inside your Django Administration respective page which is "Category".
