Adding a ManyToManyWidget to the reverse of a ManyToManyField in the Django Admin

Question

Let\'s say I have a simple blog app in Django 1.4:

class Post(models.Model):
    title = …
    published_on = …
    tags = models.ManyToManyField(\'Tag\')

c         


        

Answer 1

A bit late to the party, but this is the solution that works for me (no magic):

# admin.py

from django.contrib import admin
from models import Post

class TagPostInline(admin.TabularInline):
    model = Post.tags.through
    extra = 1

class PostAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    inlines = [TagPostInline]

admin.site.register(Post, PostAdmin)
