Please do a series about django admin. For me, Django Admin is one of the best features of all frameworks available. It is extremely under used. The docs are hard, and customizing it is not obvious...
Thanks a lot for the video. As always very interesting. I have a quick question: How much of a "bad practise" is it, to create model admin actions, which are not related to the queryset / the selected model objects? E.g. if I have a model with many entries and I want to delete all entries older than six months from the current date. I could write a admin actions for this. Or is there a better way of doing such thing? I would need to select one object, to make the action work, but it would work ... Thanks or your time.
Thank you! Interesting question - I would say a better way to approach that would be to create a scheduled task that runs once per day, and removes any entries older than 6 months. That would avoid having to start the task via an admin action, where you need to select a random object to trigger the task. However - I just released a video on django-unfold (an admin theme for Django). I didn't cover this in the video but it provides different "action types" on top of the default Django action mechanism. Here's a link: github.com/unfoldadmin/django-unfold?tab=readme-ov-file#actions Note the Global option: "General actions for model, without selecting specific instances" So this would be possible that way, too, and might be easier to setup if you're not already using a task queue like Celery.
It would potentially be possible, yes. However, for more complex actions (including side-effects), I think the action function is possibly a better approach.

@@bugbytes3923 Thanks a lot - I will have a look at it.
Could you show how intermediate pages can be used to add a tag to several products, which can be selected from a list or created a new one?
I'll add a quick follow-up on intermediate pages soon.
would it be to much hassle to be able to modify lets say, the status, directly in the row field as a dropdown select?
It would potentially be possible, yes. However, for more complex actions (including side-effects), I think the action function is possibly a better approach.
thanks for sharing, please can you make a video on how we can change default admin dashboard using tailwind or customer CSS because its ugly
i commented before watching full video, waiting the admin dashboard
and I like his videos before watching it full. 😅
@@alexdin1565 coming up in the next video, using a tailwind admin theme!
