[Fixed]-Django Admin Action Confirmation Page

βœ…

Edit: I was more missing then I thought

The corrected my_action

def my_action(modeladmin, request, queryset):
    if request.POST.get('post'):
        print "Performing action"
        # action code here
        return None
    else:
        request.current_app = modeladmin.admin_site.name
        return TemplateResponse(request, "admin/my_action_confirmation.html")

admin/my_action_confirmation.html

{% load l10n %}
<form action="" method="post">{% csrf_token %}
    <div>
        {% for obj in queryset %}
        <input type="hidden" name="{{ action_checkbox_name }}" value="{{ obj.pk|unlocalize }}" />
        {% endfor %}
        <input type="hidden" name="post" value="yes" />
        <input type="hidden" name="action" value="my_action" />
        <input type="submit" value="Confirm" />
    </div>
</form>

Just in case of anyone wanting to add a confirmation view to something more than an action.

I wanted to make the save of an admin creation view go to a confirmation view. My model was very complex and created a lot of implications for the system. Adding the confirmation view would make sure that the admin was aware of these implications.

The solution would be overriding some _changeform_view method which is called on the creation and the edition.

The full code is here: https://gist.github.com/rsarai/d475c766871f40e52b8b4d1b12dedea2

Here is what worked for me:

Add confirm action method (in admin.py)

from django.template.response import TemplateResponse

def confirm_my_action(modeladmin, request, queryset):
    response = TemplateResponse(request, 
                                'admin/confirm_my_action.html', 
                                {'queryset': queryset})
    return response

and point to it from your admin model (in admin.py)

class SomeModelAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    actions = [confirm_my_action]

Add template, which has a form whose action is pointing to my_action endpoint.

{% extends "admin/base_site.html" %}
{% block content %}
<div id="content" class="colM delete-confirmation">
    <form method="post" action="/admin/my_action/">
        {% csrf_token %}
        <div>
            {% for obj in queryset %}
            <input type="hidden" name="obj_ids[]" value="{{ obj.pk }}" />
            <ul><li>Obj: ">{{obj}}</a></li></ul>
            {% endfor %}
        </div>
        <input type="submit" value="Yes, I'm sure">
        <a href="/admin/app/somemodel/" class="button cancel-link">No, take me back</a>
    </form>    
    <br class="clear">
    <div id="footer"></div>
</div>
{% endblock %}

Add appropriate endpoint (e.g. in urls.py).

urlpatterns = [
    url(r'^admin/', admin.site.urls),
    url(r'^admin/my_action/', my_action_method),
]
