I am writing a django application, that stores and displays working hours of employees.
The problem is, that for example pediatrists have 2 types of working hours - separate for sick children and healthy ones.
So I thought, it would be cool, to use HTML table to display the hours for each employee. My idea was to have a "ListField" representing each row of table, with ForeignKey to employee. That way, admin could create lists like:
['', 'Sick Children', 'Healthy Children'],
['Monday', '8-12', '12-14'],
['Friday', '12-15']
And it would appear on website, as an HTML table, that would look pretty nice.
The thing is, I would love it to look easy and intuitive for an admin of website. So I would love to keep the table rows as inline of employee in admin panel. So, I have created models:
class TableRow(models.Model):
employee = models.ForeignKey(Employee)
class TableCell(models.Model):
content = models.CharField(max_length=20)
row = models.ForeignKey(TableRow)
And tried stuff like:
class TableCellInline(admin.TabularInline):
model = TableCell
class TableRowInline(admin.TabularInline):
model = TableRow
class EmployeeAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
inlines = [TableRowInline]
admin.site.register(Employee, EmployeeAdmin)
admin.site.register(TableRow, TableRowAdmin)
Which doesn't work (as I expected, but didn't hurt to try). Admin panel shows an option to add table row, when adding/editing employee, but doesn't show any option to add any cell to the row.
Is there any way to allow adding the rows while editing/adding employee? Or maybe a totally different way to solve the problem?
