Question

I want to modify the django admin for a particular model to provide the following behaviour.

A user make a search on the change_list page. The the user click a specific entry and he lands on the change_form for that entry. Nothing different to the usual.

Now, what I want is a mean to navigate the former search results. Basically next and previous buttons on the edit page.

What would be the best approach to implement this feature without modifying the admin site too much?

I will need to memorize the search in the user session, then when an entry is clicked I will need to known which place it has within the results to place my “cursor” accordingly. But I’m a bit in the cloud as the implementation side.

Answer 1

I ended writing a fully custom admin for that.
