I want the admin to use the non-default one (in my case I can't even give it the default one since it doesn't return instances of the model, but of another model it inherits from). So my solution (It doesn't even merit a patch - its just 3 lines changed in django/contrib/admin/options.py): # my code from django.contrib import admin class MyAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin): model = MyModel manager = MyModel.othermanager # unified diff against django/contrib/admin/options.py svn 8851 --- a/django/contrib/admin/options.py +++ b/django/contrib/admin/options.py @@ -166,6 +166,8 @@ class ModelAdmin(BaseModelAdmin): ordering = None inlines = [] + manager = None + # Custom templates (designed to be over-ridden in subclasses) change_form_template = None change_list_template = None @@ -239,7 +241,10 @@ class ModelAdmin(BaseModelAdmin): Returns a QuerySet of all model instances that can be edited by the admin site.
