Returns a :class:`~django.forms.ModelForm` class for use in the admin add
and change views, see :meth:`add_view` and :meth:`change_view`.
If you wanted to hide a field from non-superusers, for example, you could
override ``get_form`` as follows::
class MyModelAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
def get_form(self, request, obj=None, **kwargs):
self.exclude = []
if not request.user.is_superuser:
self.exclude.append('field_to_hide')
return super(MyModelAdmin, self).get_form(request, obj, **kwargs)
.. method:: ModelAdmin.get_formsets(self, request, obj=None)
Yields :class:`InlineModelAdmin`\s for use in admin add and change views.
For example if you wanted to display a particular inline only in the change
view, you could override ``get_formsets`` as follows::
class MyModelAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
inlines = [MyInline, SomeOtherInline]
def get_formsets(self, request, obj=None):
