Remove "add another" in Django admin screen
django, django-admin, python
Solution
DEPRECATED ANSWER
Django has since made this possible.
Have you considered instead, using CSS to simply not show the button? Maybe that's a little too hacky.
This is untested, but I'm thinking...
`no-addanother-button.css`
#_addanother { display: none }
`admin.py`
class YourAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
# ...
class Media:
# edit this path to wherever
css = { 'all' : ('css/no-addanother-button.css',) }
Django Doc for doing this -- Media as a static definition
Note/Edit: The documentation says the files will be prepended with the MEDIA_URL but in my experimentation it isn't. Your mileage may vary.
If you find this is the case for you, there's a quick fix for this...
class YourAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
# ...
class Media:
from django.conf import settings
media_url = getattr(settings, 'MEDIA_URL', '/media/')
# edit this path to wherever
css = { 'all' : (media_url+'css/no-addanother-button.css',) }
Problem
Whenever I'm editing object A with a foreign key to object B, a plus option "add another" is available next to the choices of object B. How do I remove that option? I configured a user without rights to add object B. The plus sign is still available, but when I click on it, it says "Permission denied". It's ugly. I'm using Django 1.0.2
