Import/Export admin buttons not showing up if another mixin is loaded first

See original GitHub issue

Howdy,

I’m facing an issue where the import/export buttons don’t show up in the admin page (Django 1.9) if I have another mixin loaded first.

The mixin being loaded first is from django-advanced-filters: https://github.com/modlinltd/django-advanced-filters/blob/develop/advanced_filters/admin.py#L57

eg.

class WhateverAdmin(AdminAdvancedFiltersMixin, ImportExportMixin, admin.ModelAdmin):
    pass

Anyone ever experienced that?

Thanks.

@taut-and-yare It was so long ago that I barely remember what I did, but as far as I recall there was something missing in the template and I just had to add it there to work.

@matthewhegarty FYI, the problem persists with 3.0.0 I managed to get it to work by adding one include tag in the template mentioned above: admin/advanced_filters.html:

{% block object-tools-items %}
  {% include "admin/import_export/change_list_import_item.html" %}
  {{ block.super }}
  {# Add a link to the end of the tool items #}
  {% if advanced_filters %}
	<li><div class="afilters">
		<a class="ajax-popup-link icons-object-tools-add-link" href="#advanced_filters" >{% trans "Advanced Filter" %}</a>{% if '_afilter' in request.GET %}<a class="edit-link" href="{% url 'admin:advanced_filters_advancedfilter_change' current_afilter %}" >{% trans "Edit" %}</a>{% endif %}
</div></li>
  {% endif %}
{% endblock object-tools-items %}
