It's easy enough to override the form used by Admin, and then its just a
matter of creating the form to meet your specifications. Given a model
defined as:
class Category(models.Model):
title = models.CharField(max_length=40)
parent = models.CharField(max_length=40, null=True, blank=True)
You could put this in your admin.py:
class MyCategoryForm(forms.ModelForm):
parent = forms.ChoiceField(required=False)
class Meta:
model = Category
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
super(MyCategoryForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
self.fields['parent'].choices = [('', '-----')]
self.fields['parent'].choices.extend([(c.title, c.title) for c in
Category.objects.all()])
class CategoryAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
form = MyCategoryForm
class Meta:
model = Category
admin.site.register(Category, CategoryAdmin)
----
which I think would give what you ask for.
