Django 1.7 removing Add button from inline form

Question

I\'m having problems achieving a (probably) rather simple task. I have fully modifiable models (Prodotto, Comune) which are shown as \"addable\" fields, as shown in picture

I think this is a less hacky solution than the one you ended up with. It worked for me, anyway.

Basically, it's the inline equivalent of what you suggested doing with the overriding the get_form method of ModelAdmin. Here we override get_formset in the inline class, get the form off the formset, and do the exact same thing. Seems to work fine, at least in 1.9, which I am using.

class VersionEntryInline(admin.TabularInline):
    template = 'admin/edit_inline/tabular_versionentry.html'
    model = VersionEntry
    extra = 0

    def get_formset(self, request, obj=None, **kwargs):
        """
        Override the formset function in order to remove the add and change buttons beside the foreign key pull-down
        menus in the inline.
        """
        formset = super(VersionEntryInline, self).get_formset(request, obj, **kwargs)
        form = formset.form
        widget = form.base_fields['project'].widget
        widget.can_add_related = False
        widget.can_change_related = False
        widget = form.base_fields['version'].widget
        widget.can_add_related = False
        widget.can_change_related = False
        return formset
