Redirect on admin Save
To change the redirect destination after save in the admin, you need to override response_add()
(for adding new instances) and response_change()
(for changing existing ones) in the ModelAdmin
class.
See the original code in django.contrib.admin.options
.
Quick examples to make it clearer how to do this (would be within a ModelAdmin class):
from django.core.urlresolvers import reverse
def response_add(self, request, obj, post_url_continue=None):
"""
This makes the response after adding go to another
app's changelist for some model
"""
return HttpResponseRedirect(
reverse("admin:otherappname_modelname_changelist")
)
def response_change(self, request, obj, post_url_continue=None):
"""
This makes the response go to the newly created
model's change page without using reverse
"""
return HttpResponseRedirect("../%s" % obj.id)
To add to @DanielRoseman's answer, and you DON'T want the user redirected when they choose Save and continue and not the Save button, then you could use this solution instead.
def response_add(self, request, obj, post_url_continue="../%s/"):
if '_continue' not in request.POST:
return HttpResponseRedirect(get_other_app_url())
else:
return super(MyModelAdmin, self).response_add(request, obj, post_url_continue)
def response_change(self, request, obj):
if '_continue' not in request.POST:
return HttpResponseRedirect(get_other_app_url())
else:
return super(MyAdmin, self).response_change(request, obj)
