Question

How can I add custom actions to Django Admin?

Answer 1

You can add custom actions to perform batch operations on selected objects in Django Admin. Define a method in your admin class and decorate it with @admin.action to register it as an action.

Example code:

# admin.py
from django.contrib import admin
from .models import MyModel

class MyModelAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    actions = ['custom_action']

    def custom_action(self, request, queryset):
        # Perform your custom action here
        for obj in queryset:
            # Do something with each selected object
            obj.some_field = True
            obj.save()

    custom_action.short_description = 'Activate selected objects'

admin.site.register(MyModel, MyModelAdmin)
