How do I get the actual object id in a Django admin page (inside formfield_for_foreignkey)?

Question

I \'ve already solved the problem of getting the object id being edited using this code:

class CompanyUserInline(admin.StackedInline):
    \"\"\"
    Defines         


        

Answer 1

I made it work by rewrite change_view()

class CartAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):

def change_view(self, request, object_id, form_url='', extra_context=None):
    self.object_id = object_id
    return self.changeform_view(request, object_id, form_url, extra_context)


def formfield_for_foreignkey(self, db_field, request, **kwargs):
    print self.object_id
    return super(CartAdmin, self).formfield_for_foreignkey(db_field, request, **kwargs)

then you can call self.object_id inside formfield_for_foreignkey()
