I need to add tags to my blog posts. Each tag should be available on many posts and also posts can have multiple tags.
How can I change the admin sites so that I can add multiple (existing) tags to a post? The standard view only lets me add by creating new ones.
model.py
# blog post tags
class Tag(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=20)
slug = models.SlugField(max_length=40, unique=True)
date_created = models.DateTimeField(default=timezone.now)
class Meta:
ordering = ['name']
def __str__(self):
return self.name
# blog posts
class Post(models.Model):
title = models.CharField(max_length=100)
content = models.TextField()
date_posted = models.DateTimeField(default=timezone.now)
last_modified = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True)
author = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE) # 1 author per post
tags = models.ManyToManyField(Tag, related_name='tags') # n tags per m posts
class Meta:
ordering = ['title']
def __str__(self):
return self.title
I know I need to edit my admin.py file in my blog application but everything i tried so far did not work. Is there a recipe for these admin views?
I want to achieve something like this (1st answer - filtered view).
