How to create and manage Tags

Creating a new Tag

  1. Create a Tag in django-admin
  2. Add the tag to Allowed Tags under the desired type of object you want to use the Tag with.

Create a Tag in django-admin and set it up in Allowed Tags

  • Go to Allowed Tags django-admin_allowedtags.png
  • Select the desired Content Type, or if a suitable one doesn't exist create a new Allowed Tags object for the desired Content Type. django-admin_allowedtags_list.png
  • If the desired tag does not exist in the list of tags, press + to create a new Tag.
    • Write the name of the tag (use an underscore in the place of a space), and Save
  • Choose the tags you want to show for this Content Type, hold down CTRL (or CMD in Mac) to select multiple.
    • If you mess it up, refresh the page WITHOUT pressing save.
  • When all the desired tags are selected, press Save. django-admin_allowedtags_change.png

Why doesn't my Tag show in the tag selection list?

  • You might not have selected the desired tag for the correct Content Type in Allowed Tags. Only the tags that are selected in Allowed Tags are shown in tag add/change lists.
