Django - ChoiceField - Option Buttons instead of Select box

Question

Is it possible to display the option buttons instead of select box (in the admin interface) for ChoiceField? Any suggestions?

Answer 1

The following ModelAdmin subclass (in your admin.py) does what you're after:

class PersonAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    radio_fields = {"group": admin.VERTICAL}

HORIZONTAL is also possible.

From the Django docs.

Answer 2

There's a snippet on djangosnippets that seems to do something like this for forms given a list of choices, but it doesn't seem to specifically do it for the admin app. You might be able to either leverage this or the ideas within it to get you the rest of the way though.
