===========================================================
Customising ``CreateView``, ``EditView`` and ``DeleteView``
===========================================================

**NOTE:** ``modeladmin`` only provides 'create', 'edit' and 'delete'
functionality for non page type models (i.e. models that do not extend 
``wagtailcore.models.Page``). If your model is a 'page type' model, customising
any of the following will not have any effect:

.. _modeladmin_edit_handler_customisation:

-------------------------------------------------------------
Changing which fields appear in ``CreateView`` & ``EditView``
-------------------------------------------------------------

``edit_handler`` can be used on any Django models.Model class, just like it
can be used for ``Page`` models or other models registered as ``Snippets`` in
Wagtail.

To change the way your ``MyPageModel`` is displayed in the CreateView and the
EditView, simply define an ``edit_handler`` or ``panels`` attribute on your
model class.

.. code-block:: python

    class MyPageModel(models.Model):
        first_name = models.CharField(max_length=100)
        last_name = models.CharField(max_length=100)
        address = models.TextField()
        
        panels = [
            MultiFieldPanel([
                FieldRowPanel([
                    FieldPanel('first_name', classname='fn'),
                    FieldPanel('last_name', classname='ln'),
            ]),
            FieldPanel('address', classname='custom1',))
        ]

Or alternatively:

.. code-block:: python

    class MyPageModel(models.Model):
        first_name = models.CharField(max_length=100)
        last_name = models.CharField(max_length=100)
        address = models.TextField()
        
        custom_panels = [
            MultiFieldPanel([
                FieldRowPanel([
                    FieldPanel('first_name', classname='fn'),
                    FieldPanel('last_name', classname='ln'),
            ]),
            FieldPanel('address', classname='custom1',))
        ]
        edit_handler = ObjectList(custom_panels)
        # or
        edit_handler = TabbedInterface([ObjectList(custom_panels), ObjectList(...)])
