Displaying HTML fields in django admin change list
You can create a function clickable_site_domain()
which returns a HTML link as per the value of site_domain
. Then you need to add this method name to the ModelAdmin.list_display
attribute. Finally, you need to mark the string safe to avoid HTML escaping with mark_safe
.
Prior to Django 1.9, you would need to set allow_tags=True
for this function to avoid HTML escaping. (Docs)
from django.utils.text import mark_safe # Older versions
from django.utils.html import mark_safe # Newer versions
class MyModelAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
list_display = (..,'clickable_site_domain', ..) # add the custom method to the list of fields to be displayed.
def clickable_site_domain(self, obj):
# return HTML link that will not be escaped
return mark_safe(
'<a href="%s">%s</a>' % (obj.site_domain, obj.site_domain)
)

from django.contrib import admin
from django.utils.html import format_html
@admin.register(MyModel)
class MyModelAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
list_display = [..., 'custom_field', ...]
def custom_field(self, obj):
return format_html('<a href={}>URL</a>', obj.url)
