Django import-export: only export

Question

I'm using the third party library Django-import-export for importing/exporting data.

It's working properly but I only want the export functionality (not import one).

How could I use only export without import?

Answer 1

from import_export.admin import ExportMixin

class BookAdmin(ExportMixin, admin.ModelAdmin):

Just in case someone runs into my same mistake, the order in which you inherit the ExportMixin is relevant (first the mixing, then the modeladmin, just as indicated by user2947136). For some reason i was writing it in reverse and wasn't working. – Terrigenous

Just in case someone has the same confusion as I had: admin.ModelAdmin is a subclass of django.contrib or, in full, django.contrib.admin.ModelAdmin and not a subclass of import_export.admin: See here. – Alleris

Additional FYI, ExportMixin comes from here from import_export.admin import ExportMixin – Pitiless

If you want the action of Export Selected Books, you can use

class BookAdmin(ExportActionModelAdmin,admin.ModelAdmin):

As your question is not really described, I can only guess, that you want to remove the "import" button in the Admin view?

As described here you have to set the ExportMixin on your ModelAdmin. So it looks something like this

class BookAdmin(ExportMixin, ModelAdmin):
