how to disable bulk_action in django 1.1 beta

Question

Hi,

I am using django 1.1 beta release. In my project I want to use bulk_action in some models only. How can I disable bulk_action from the remaining models? I want to totally remove action label along with the checkbox; in other words as it would look in Django 1.02.

Answer 1

Not sure if this is what you're looking for - I can't find any reference to bulk_action online. Bulk actions were introduced in Django 1.1 (see the release notes), so I guess you're referring to removing bulk actions for certain models' admin pages.

If you want no bulk actions available for a given ModelAdmin, simply set ModelAdmin.actions to None:

class MyModelAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    actions = None

from the docs.

I don't think this method will remove the checkboxes, or make the listings page look like Django 1.02, it'll just remove the list of bulk actions from the dropdown.

Answer 2

i used the solution provided in django docs

def get_actions(self, request):
    actions = super(MyModelAdmin, self).get_actions(request)
    if request.user:
        del actions['delete_selected']
    return actions

this removed all the actions from my change page
