Added polymorphic admin interface

Extracted from django-fluent-pages, ready for other apps too.
The polymorphic admin is implemented via a parent admin for the base
model, and separate admin interfaces for the child models.

The parent model needs to inherit PolymorphicParentModelAdmin,
and override `get_admin_for_model()` and `get_child_model_classes()`
to find the child admin interfaces.

The derived models have their own `ModelAdmin` class, which inherits
from `PolymorphicChildModelAdmin`. The parent admin redirects it's
change and delete views to the child admin.

By adding `polymorphic` to the INSTALLED_APPS, the breadcrumbs will be
fixed as well, to remain unchanged between the child applications.

Juli 5, 2012, Polymorphic admin interface
=========================================
Added a polymorphic admin interface. The admin interface is able to add polymorphic models,
and the admin edit screen also displays the custom fields of the polymorphic model.

Using polymorphic models in the admin interface
-----------------------------------------------
Naturally, it's possible to register individual polymorphic models in the Django admin interface.
However, to use these models in a single cohesive interface, some extra base classes are available.
The polymorphic admin interface works in a simple way:
* The add screen gains an additional step where the desired child model is selected.
* The edit screen displays the admin interface of the child model.
* The list screen still displays all objects of the base class.
The polymorphic admin is implemented via a parent admin that forwards the *edit* and *delete* views
to the ``ModelAdmin`` of the derived child model. Hence, both the parent model and child model
need to have a ``ModelAdmin`` class. Only the ``ModelAdmin`` class of the parent/base model
has to be registered in the Django admin site.
The parent model
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The parent model needs to inherit ``PolymorphicParentModelAdmin``, and implement the following:
* ``base_model`` should be set
* ``get_admin_for_model()`` should return the model class for the child model.
* ``get_child_model_classes()`` should return a list of all child model classes.
The exact implementation can depend on the way your module is structured.
Either a plugin registration system, or configuration setting could be used.
The parent admin redirects it's change and delete views to the child admin.
The child models
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The admin interface of the derived models should inherit from ``PolymorphicChildModelAdmin``.
Again, ``base_model`` should be set in this class as well.
This class implements the following features:
* It corrects the breadcrumbs in the admin pages.
* It extends the template lookup paths, to look for both the parent model and child model in the ``admin/app/model/change_form.html`` path.
* It allows to set ``base_form`` so the derived class will automatically include other fields in the form.
* It allows to set ``base_fieldsets`` so the derived class will automatically display any extra fields.
By adding ``polymorphic`` to the ``INSTALLED_APPS``, the breadcrumbs will be
fixed as well, to stay the same for all child models.
The standard ``ModelAdmin`` attributes ``form`` and ``fieldsets`` should rather be avoided at the base class,
because it will hide any additional fields which are defined in the derived model. Instead,
use the ``base_form`` and ``base_fieldsets`` instead. The ``PolymorphicChildModelAdmin`` will
automatically detect the additional fields that the child model has, display those in a separate fieldset.
Example
~~~~~~~
::
from django.contrib import admin
from polymorphic.admin import PolymorphicParentModelAdmin, PolymorphicChildModelAdmin
class ModelAParentAdmin(PolymorphicParentModelAdmin):
""" The parent model admin """
base_model = ModelA
def get_admin_for_model(self, model):
# just `return ModelAChildAdmin` would also work, if you don't customize anything.
return CHILD_ADMINS[model]
def get_child_model_classes(self, model):
return CHILD_ADMINS.keys()
# Only the parent needs to be registered:
admin.site.register(ModelA, ModelAParentAdmin)
class ModelAChildAdmin(PolymorphicChildModelAdmin):
""" Base admin class for all child models """
base_model = ModelA
# By using these `base_...` attributes instead of the regular ModelAdmin `form` and `fieldsets`,
# the additional fields of the child models are automatically added to the admin form.
base_form = ...
base_fieldsets = (
...
)
class ModelBAdmin(ModelAChildAdmin):
# define custom features here
class ModelCAdmin(ModelBAdmin):
# define custom features here
# This could be replaced with a registration system:
CHILD_ADMINS = {
ModelB: ModelBAdmin,
ModelC: ModelCAdmin,
}
