Using tags in the admin
=======================
By default if you have a :class:`TaggableManager` on your model it will show up
in the admin, just as it will in any other form.
If you are specifying :attr:`ModelAdmin.fieldsets
<django.contrib.admin.ModelAdmin.fieldsets>`, include the name of the
:class:`TaggableManager` as a field::
fieldsets = (
(None, {'fields': ('tags',)}),
)
Including tags in ``ModelAdmin.list_display``
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
One important thing to note is that you *cannot* include a
:class:`TaggableManager` in :attr:`ModelAdmin.list_display
<django.contrib.admin.ModelAdmin.list_display>`. If you do you'll see an
exception that looks like::
AttributeError: '_TaggableManager' object has no attribute 'name'
This is for the same reason that you cannot include a
:class:`~django.db.models.ManyToManyField`: it would result in an unreasonable
number of queries being executed.
If you want to show tags in :attr:`ModelAdmin.list_display
<django.contrib.admin.ModelAdmin.list_display>`, you can add a custom display
method to the :class:`~django.contrib.admin.ModelAdmin`, using
:meth:`~django.db.models.query.QuerySet.prefetch_related` to minimize queries::
class MyModelAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
list_display = ['tag_list']
def get_queryset(self, request):
return super().get_queryset(request).prefetch_related('tags')
def tag_list(self, obj):
return u", ".join(o.name for o in obj.tags.all())
Merging tags in the admin
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Functionality has been added to the admin app to allow for tag "merging". Multiple tags can be selected, and all of their usages will be replaced by the tag that you choose to use.
To merge your tags follow these steps:
1. Navigate to the Tags page inside of the Taggit app
2. Select the tags that you want to merge
3. Use the dropdown action list and select `Merge selected tags` and then click `Go`
4. This will redirect you onto a new page where you can insert the new tag name.
5. Click `Merge Tags`
6. This will redirect you back to the tag list
