Django admin display multiple fields on the same line

Question

I have created a model, it will automatically display all the fields from the model and display it on the admin page.

Now, I have a problem, I would like to have two fields on the same line, to do this I have to specify the fieldsets at ModelAdmin:

fieldsets = (
        (None, {
            'fields': (('firstname', 'lastname'),)
        }),
       )

Do I have to specify all the fields? Because there are many fields in the database I need to specify.

Answer 1

Wrap those fields on their own tuple.

class TestAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    fields = (
        'field1',
        ('field2', 'field3'),
        'field4'
    )

In the above example, fields field2 and field3 are shown on one line.

Answer 2

I'm afraid there's not an easy way to do it.

One option is to override the change_form.html template for that ModelAdmin and style the form as you like.

Another alternative is to do custom ModelForm and define a field with a widget that renders two input fields, in the form's .save() method, set the widget resulting value (a tuple) to both fields.
