Registering Django Models with Wagtails ModelAdmin

In the land of Django and Wagtail, sometimes you need custom Django Models but Wagtail doesn't let you edit these models by default. And personally, I don't believe in giving a client 2 admin dashboards to operate in. So let's add a custom Django Model to our Wagtail website using a Wagtail ModelAdmin.

This helped me on my internship. Thanks Calob :D :D

Tutorial about menus would be great :)

[@CodingForEverybody]

Menu video is coming! Should be here in about a week (hopefully!)

[@voronov_ad]

Nice lesson! Now we have a challenge to copy all Djang-admin interface to the wagtail-admin)

[@CodingForEverybody]

It's actually SUPER easy. The only one I think you'll find a bit strange is the default User model and handling the passwords. But in Wagtail, Users have Wagtail User Profiles (different model with a 1-to-1 relationship), so you can register all the users with that Model. Or extend the User model and register your customer model. It works REALLY well in Wagtail, overall.

[@voronov_ad]

@@CodingForEverybody Yeah, that's what I did) Thank you!

How can I register an API endpoint for creating the subscribers from frontend, and also list them in the wagtail dashboard?

[@mounamani3001]

Thanks for the great video, but i get this issue 'RequestContext' object has no attribute 'items' when i go to /admin/subscribers/subscribers/ , i didn't get why ? :)

[@mattmoloney1]

at the end of the video you mention using a form on a different page to add the subscriber. Could you please explain how...been trying for a while now. Thanks in advance!

[@jellejanwillie]

How do you deal with check constraints within wagtail-admin. Is there a way to warn the user of a violated check constraint? Thanks!

[@juanmonster6232]

I love you bro.......that is all I can say

[@lengo7167]

Can you add checkboxes next to them?

[@drew_scottsdale]

What if we wanted to do this but with a class we created that inherited from the page model. class restaurants(page):. Most examples I see are when a regular django model was used.

[@ktee55]

Is there a way to send emails to those subscribers all at once with Wagtail way?

[@keretlen]

at wagtail 6 the wagtail-modeladmin needs to be installed separately

How to add custom custom action button

[@jaradfisher5256]

Fantastic.. Thanks for this.. Would one register with Django admin also?

[@CodingForEverybody]

You could if you wanted to, and it'll work perfectly fine. For most cases I find you don't need to though. I like one admin instead of two. There are some cases where you might want to manage data more privately, like Users, so I typically keep those in the Django Admin. But it's entirely up to you!

[@mindeyi]

Wagtail admin is so good, that I would like to use it as primary user interface for all users, to avoid having to create separate UI. I wonder, how can we give all users access to the admin, and manage permissions about what they can do in the admin? And then, ideally, having the admin at the top route.

[@CodingForEverybody]

This is what I do. It's RARE I ever need access to the Django Admin these days. You can set permissions on models when creating a new Group in your settings!

[@aakashbhaikatti2823]

IntegrityError at /admin/blog/sample/create/ FOREIGN KEY constraint failed Can u please help me with this error.

[@CodingForEverybody]

You'll need to provide a lot more detail than this. Feel free to join us on slack at wagtail.io/slack - that's a better place to post this question along with your traceback and maybe some of your code.

[@compusaveit]

Excellent videos, please correct , wrong spelling

[@CodingForEverybody]

Where did you catch this typo?

[@mindeyi]

A real situation. I have a page, that needs to have many parents. In Django, I'd simply do: class Topic(models.Model): parents = models.ManyToManyField( 'self', blank=True, symmetrical=False, related_name='children') I wonder, how can I override the behavior of the parent relationship, to allow multiple parents...

[@CodingForEverybody]

For Page's you likely wouldn't. Wagtail uses a tree for creating page hierarchy. So you'd have to create copies of the page. Instead what we'd do is create a Snippet (or an Orderable if you need more than one selection option). You can then customize your get_context() method and query your database using Djangos ORM for the data you're looking for.

10:20 Add SUSBCRIBER xD

[@Pmarmagne]

Me trying to type along: "Susriber", "Subscsiber", "Subcriber", "Subsicirber"

[@CodingForEverybody]

That was me trying to write Subscriber during recording, too haha
