Wagtail Quick Create

Wagtail Quick Create offers shortcut links to create objects from models specified in your settings file.

A panel is added to the admin home, offering a type:

Clicking a create link will offer a parent selection for the new item

Note on parent pages

Wagtailquickcreate needs the parent_page_types set on the model you wish to include so it can successfully provide the parent page selection. If this isn't specified, you will likely see every page offered as a parent, this will not work as it's looking up pages using wagtail.core.models.Page and this core wagtail class has is_creatable = False

Configuration

Install using pip:

pip install wagtail-quick-create

After installing the module, add wagtailquickcreate to your installed apps in your settings file:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    ...
    'wagtailquickcreate',
]

Also add the models you would like to create quick links for to your settings file as 'your_app_name.YourModelName':

EG:

WAGTAIL_QUICK_CREATE_PAGE_TYPES = ['news.NewsPage', 'events.EventPage']

If you want the Quick Create links panel to replace the wagtail summary panel, you can set this by adding the following to your settings

WAGTAIL_QUICK_CREATE_REPLACE_SUMMARY_PANEL = True

If you would like to offer image and or document links, this can also be done by specifying the following in your settings:

WAGTAIL_QUICK_CREATE_DOCUMENTS = True
WAGTAIL_QUICK_CREATE_IMAGES = True
