As seen in Add created_at and updated_at in base class, we can add automatic date and time fields in Django models. But, Django does not show these fields in admin by default. We need to add them manually.
Add readonly field in Django admin
pythonclass BaseAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
readonly_fields = ('created_at', 'updated_at')
class Meta:
abstract = Truepythonclass BaseAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
readonly_fields = ('created_at', 'updated_at')
class Meta:
abstract = Trueand then add this class in admin.py
pythonclass MyModelAdmin(BaseAdmin):
passpythonclass MyModelAdmin(BaseAdmin):
passregister the model with this admin class.
pythonadmin.site.register(MyModel, MyModelAdmin)pythonadmin.site.register(MyModel, MyModelAdmin)🐣🐣🐣
