Render a select box as radios buttons in Django Admin

Question

I want to show select box options as raido buttons in Django Admin change model view. I don't want to write custom model forms. I'm looking for a way to render some select boxes as radio buttons while keeping auto generated model forms of the Django admin. I'm using django v 1.11.

Answer 1

Assuming my_field is the field, we want to be rendered as Radio Button

# admin.py
from django.contrib import admin
from django import forms

from .models import MyModel

class MyModelAdminForm(forms.ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = MyModel
        exclude = ()
        widgets = {'my_field': forms.RadioSelect}

class MyModelAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    form = MyModelAdminForm

admin.site.register(MyModel, MyModelAdmin)
