Django admin model Inheritance is it possible?

Question

Is inheritance possible in admin Models ? Like For Example consider the following , File : `models.py` ``` class AbstractModel ( models.Model ): # Meta Information common to all classes author = models.ForeignKey(auth.models.User , null = False ,related_name="%(class)s_related_author" ) # The user who created editor = models.ForeignKey(auth.models.User , null = True,related_name="%(class)s_related_editor" ) # The user who last edited created_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add = True) # Create Time edited_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now = True) # Modify Time class Meta: abstract = True class Topic( AbstractModel ): name = models.CharField(max_length = NameMaxLength , unique = True) version_number = models.IntegerField(default = 0) update_frequency = models.IntegerField() ``` A similar inheritance does not seem to produce the correct result when used in `ModelAdmin` File : `admin.py` ``` class Abstract_Admin_Model( admin.ModelAdmin ): fields = ('author' , 'editor' , 'created_at'…

Accepted Answer

Maybe it is bit to late for you for the answer, but I think others can have similar problem - as I did.

Here is my solution - I am not sure if it is proper, but it works for me and non other from above can do the same (assuming that you want a multitable inheritance (non abstract model), as I do)

```
class SiteEntityAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    fieldsets = [
            (None, {'fields': ['name']}),
    ]

class PhotoAdmin(SiteEntityAdmin):
    fieldsets = [
             ('Photo details', {'fields': ['photo_url', 'description']}),
    ]
    fieldsets.insert(0, SiteEntityAdmin.fieldsets[0])
```
