How do I get the add button next to my custom Django widget.

Let's say I have some classes:

class Resource(models.Model):
    files = models.ManyToManyField("File")
class File(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=255)
    file = models.FileField(upload_to="path/here")

In the Admin View, instead displaying the select multiple box, I want to display something like this:

Name of File [Delete]

So I create a custom widget by subclassing form.SelectMultiple and write custom render and render_options fields. Then I do this in my form definition:

files = forms.ModelMultipleChoiceField(queryset=File.objects.all(), widget=EasyView)

And everything works fine. Except now I don't see the '+' icon next to the widget. The FileAdmin Form is registered with the admin site and it works when I use the standard widget. I believe I want RelatedFieldWidgetWrapper to wrap my field, but I can't figure out how to make it do that.

Thanks.
