Django admin distribution of 1000 users

Hypothetically: I have a model called Car that applies to a single user. My problem is with the default Django admin. I assign the user to the machine via the drop-down menu (this is the default Django behavior, so they tell me).

What happens when I have 1000 + users who can be selected from the drop-down list. The administrator copes with this, if so, how?

The administrator will still display the default selection window, but you need to use the prominent id id instead using the option raw_id_fields: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/ref/contrib/admin/#django.contrib.admin .ModelAdmin.raw_id_fields

By default, the Djangos administrator uses the select-box () interface for the ForeignKey field. Sometimes you do not want the overhead associated with the need to select all relevant instances to display in the drop-down list.

You can see django-grappelliwhich is an application that improves the admin interface. The documentation describes autocomplete relationships ForeignKeyor ManyToManyusing raw_id_fields.

class CategoryChoices(AutoModelSelect2Field):
    queryset = models.Category.objects
    search_fields = ['name__icontains', 'code__icontains']

class NewsAdminForm(forms.ModelForm):
    category = CategoryChoices()

    class Meta:
        model = models.News
        exclude = ()

# register in admin
class NewsAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    form = NewsAdminForm
admin.site.register(News, NewsAdmin)
