Admin integration
=================
django-reversion can be used to add rollback and recovery to your admin site.
.. Warning::
The admin integration requires that your database engine supports transactions. This is the case for PostgreSQL, SQLite and MySQL InnoDB. If you are using MySQL MyISAM, upgrade your database tables to InnoDB!
Overview
--------
Registering models
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.. include:: /_include/admin.rst
.. Note::
If you've registered your models using :ref:`reversion.register() <register>`, the admin class will use the configuration you specify there. Otherwise, the admin class will auto-register your model, following all inline model relations and parent superclasses. Customize the admin registration by overriding :ref:`VersionAdmin.register() <VersionAdmin_register>`.
Integration with 3rd party apps
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
You can use :ref:`VersionAdmin` as a mixin with a 3rd party admin class.
.. code:: python
@admin.register(SomeModel)
class YourModelAdmin(VersionAdmin, SomeModelAdmin):
pass
If the 3rd party model is already registered with the Django admin, you may have to unregister it first.
.. code:: python
admin.site.unregister(SomeModel)
@admin.register(SomeModel)
class YourModelAdmin(VersionAdmin, SomeModelAdmin):
pass
.. _VersionAdmin:
