ViewsDjango Admin escaping text
I recently upgraded Django from 1.3 to 1.8.18 and been having issues with links custom made to pre-fill forms in Django admin. For example, I have the following link:
/admin/miscellaneous/whatsnew/add/?title=...%20competition%20results%20uploaded&pub_date=21-04-2017&body=&link=
When executed the pre-filled data in the form looks like:
Where it should look like this:
When testing directly from the URL bar in Safari it changes to this after pressing enter:
https://flyball.org.au/admin/miscellaneous/whatsnew/add/?title=...%2520competition%2520results%2520uploaded&pub_date=21-04-2017&body=&link=
models.py
class WhatsNew(models.Model):
title = models.CharField(max_length=100,help_text='Title, MAX 100 characters.')
body = models.TextField()
pub_date = models.DateField()
message_expiry = models.DateField(default=datetime.date.today() + relativedelta(years=1))
link = models.URLField(blank=True, null=True)
class Meta:
ordering = ['-pub_date']
verbose_name_plural = "Whats New?"
def __unicode__(self):
return self.title
admin.py
import models
from django.contrib import admin
class WhatsNewAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
list_display = ('title','pub_date','message_expiry','link','body')
admin.site.register(models.WhatsNew, WhatsNewAdmin)
What can I do to resolve this?

So, I'm not sure how to do it on the ModelAdmin, but you can create custom setters on your model to handle this situation. Here's how I would go about escaping the URL encoded strings:
import urllib
class WhatsNew(models.Model):
# Field with custom setter
_title = models.CharField(max_length=100,
help_text='Title, MAX 100 characters.',
db_column='title')
body = models.TextField()
pub_date = models.DateField()
message_expiry = models.DateField(default=datetime.date.today() + relativedelta(years=1))
link = models.URLField(blank=True, null=True)
# Custom getter and setter
@property
def title(self):
return self._title
@title.setter
def title(self, value):
self._title = urllib.unquote(value)
class Meta:
ordering = ['-pub_date']
verbose_name_plural = "Whats New?"
def __unicode__(self):
return self._title

Use + instead of %20 for space and it works.
Your link should be something like:
/admin/miscellaneous/whatsnew/add/?title=...+competition+results+uploaded&pub_date=21-04-2017&body=&link=
