I've got a model with boolean fields visible and hidden in using the admin.py I think it's possible to add a default filter to the page /admin/articles/article/ so it has filter by visible=True and hidden=True 

class ArticleAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    list filter = [...]
    ...
    def changelist_view(self, request, extra_context=None):
        if not request.GET: #No filter
            #Perform filter to queryset for visible and hidden = True
        return super(ArticleAdmin,self).changelist_view(request, extra_context=extra_context)

Register your model in admin.py file and mention your model fields in list_filter property. 

class ArticleAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):

    list_filter=["hidden", "visible", "created", "modified"],
    ...

    def changelist_view(self, request, extra_context=None):
       if not request.GET: #No filter
          #Perform filter to queryset for visible and hidden = True
          return super(ArticleAdmin,self).changelist_view(request, extra_context=extra_context)

hope that helps!

  • I already know about list_filter I wanted to have a default filter on the page /articles/article/ so it looks more neat – Samuel Muiruri Nov 10 '16 at 14:17
