Keeping filters in Django Admin

Question

What I would like to achive is:

• I go to admin site, apply some filters to the list of objects
• I click and object edit, edit, edit, hit \'Save\'

Answer 1

In my opinion its better to override methods from ModelAdmin changelist_view and change_view:

Like so:

class FakturaAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):

[...]

def changelist_view(self, request, extra_context=None):
    result = super(FakturaAdmin, self).changelist_view(request, extra_context=None)
    request.session['qdict'] = request.GET
    return result

def change_view(self, request, object_id, extra_context=None):
    result = super(FakturaAdmin, self).change_view(request, object_id, extra_context)
    try:
        result['location'] = result['location']+"?"+request.session['qdict'].urlencode()
    except:
        pass
    return result

As you wish, after save object you go back to list of objects with active filters.
