List columns, rename columns, etc. about flask-admin HOT 2 CLOSED

Probably I don't understand question right...

Administrative interface is built on top of python classes. If you inherit from existing class, you're inheriting its functionality. So, for example, if you create something like this:

class MyAdmin(ModelAdmin):
    list_columns = ('test', 'foo')

it will be still sqlalchemy adminstrative class. Its just sqlalchemy admin implementation knows that it should look for list_columns in self and work accoridingly.

As for passing customization parameters through the constructor, do something like this::

class MyView(ModelView):
    def __init__(self, model, session, name=None, category=None, list_columns=None, rename_columns=None, ...)
        self.list_columns = list_columns
        self.rename_columns = rename_columns

        super(MyView, self).__init__(model, session, name, category)

And then just use your class::

admin.add_view(MyView(User, db.session, list_columns=('test','foo'))

from flask-admin.

Hmmm I think I asked a bad question. For some strange reason my brain was thinking that you coudl only inherit from the BaseModelView class.
