Question

In brief, i’m trying to get Django Admin to render inlines for more than one relationship to self. Can it be done? How? Take the following untested *illustration*; Assuming it worked i’d go to admin portal, select person, and add children (sons/daughters) and students.

Model Example (models.py)

class Person(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=400)
    parent = models.ForeignKey('self',related_name='children')
    teacher = models.ForeignKey('self',related_name='students')

Django Admin (admin.py)

class ChildrenInline(admin.TabularInline):
    model = Person
    fk_name = 'parent'

class StudentsInline(admin.TabularInline):
    model = Person
    fk_name = 'teacher'

class PersonAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    inline = [ChildrenInline,StudentsInline]
    model = Person

admin.site.register(Person,PersonAdmin)

If the above code it technically correct i’ll need to figure out what’s going on.

Thanks!

You have a typo !

inline = instead of plural inlines = like in the docs.

I tested, it works with inlines = 🙂

Also, kudos for posting the right code to reproduce !
