Admin classes

mptt.admin.MPTTModelAdmin

This is a bare-bones tree admin. All it does is enforce ordering, and indent the nodes in the tree to make a pretty tree list view.

Usage:

from django.contrib import admin
from mptt.admin import MPTTModelAdmin
from myproject.myapp.models import Node

admin.site.register(Node, MPTTModelAdmin)

You can change the indent pixels per level globally by putting this in your settings.py:

# default is 10 pixels
MPTT_ADMIN_LEVEL_INDENT = 20

If you’d like to specify the pixel amount per Model, define an mptt_level_indent attribute in your MPTTModelAdmin:

from django.contrib import admin
from mptt.admin import MPTTModelAdmin
from myproject.myapp.models import Node

class CustomMPTTModelAdmin(MPTTModelAdmin)
    # speficfy pixel amount for this ModelAdmin only:
    mptt_level_indent = 20

admin.site.register(Node, CustomMPTTModelAdmin)

If you’d like to specify which field should be indented, add an mptt_indent_field to your MPTTModelAdmin:

# …
class CustomMPTTModelAdmin(MPTTModelAdmin)
    mptt_indent_field = "some_node_field"
# …
