How to Toggle Boolean Values in Wagtail with a Custom Button

Managing boolean values in a CMS like Wagtail can sometimes present challenges, particularly when you want to change a value with a custom action. This guide tackles the issue of creating a button in the Wagtail admin interface to toggle a boolean field. We’ll look at how to implement this feature and ensure that the page refreshes after the change is made.

The Problem

You have successfully added a custom button to your page list in the Wagtail admin panel. Now, you want that button not just to look good but also to toggle a specific boolean field from false to true and vice versa upon clicking. Furthermore, you want to refresh the page to immediately reflect this change for the user.

This scenario is quite common in content management systems where admin interactions can control page features dynamically.

The Solution

To accomplish this, you will need to follow these steps:

Step 1: Create the Button in admin.py

First, we need to ensure that the button is created and added to the Wagtail admin interface. Here's a basic implementation you can use:

Step 2: Define the URL in urls.py

To handle the button click, we need to map a URL where we will define the logic to toggle the boolean value.

Step 3: Implement the View Logic in views.py

Here’s how we can define the logic to toggle the boolean field:

This view retrieves the page using its primary key (pk), toggles the ne_propustite boolean field, and then refreshes the page by redirecting the user back to where they were, showing the updated state.

Conclusion

With these simple steps, you have successfully created a Wagtail admin button that toggles a boolean value and refreshes the page accordingly. By structuring your code this way, you ensure clarity and maintainability, allowing others (and your future self) to understand your implementation.

Implementing custom buttons in Wagtail enhances the administrative experience, making it more interactive and efficient. Hopefully, this guide assists you in creating dynamic functionalities in your Wagtail projects!
