v2.0.1

What's Changed

Added

• Typed tabs (per-type) — each Custom Object Type gets its own tab with a full-featured list view: type-specific columns, filterset sidebar, bulk edit/delete, configure table, and HTMX pagination.
• typed_models and typed_weight config settings.
• Third-party plugin model support for both tab modes.

Changed

• Renamed models config to combined_models; label to combined_label; weight to combined_weight.
• Refactored views from single views.py to views/ package (__init__.py, combined.py, typed.py).
• Templates reorganized into combined/ and typed/ subdirectories.

Fixed

• Handle missing database during startup — register_typed_tabs() now catches OperationalError and ProgrammingError so NetBox can start even when the database is unavailable or migrations haven't run yet.
• Bulk action return URL in typed tabs — uses query parameter ?return_url= on formaction for reliable redirect.

Bug Fixes

Templates missing from installed package (#packaging)

When installing netbox-custom-objects-tab from PyPI or a pre-built wheel, the HTML
templates were not included in the package, causing a TemplateDoesNotExist error on
every tab page load. This particularly affected Docker-based NetBox deployments.

Root cause: setuptools does not include non-Python files by default. The
[tool.setuptools.package-data] directive was missing from pyproject.toml, and no
MANIFEST.in existed to cover source distributions.

Fix: Added MANIFEST.in and [tool.setuptools.package-data] in pyproject.toml
so all HTML templates under netbox_custom_objects_tab/templates/ are bundled into
both wheel and sdist artifacts.

Upgrade Notes

If you installed 1.0.0 from PyPI, upgrade with:

pip install --upgrade netbox-custom-objects-tab

No migrations, no configuration changes required.

v1.0.0

What's New

First stable release of netbox-custom-objects-tab — a NetBox 4.5.x plugin that adds
a Custom Objects tab to standard object detail pages, showing any Custom Object
instances from the netbox_custom_objects plugin that reference the viewed object via
OBJECT or MULTIOBJECT fields.

Added

• Custom Objects tab on NetBox object detail pages (Device, Site, Rack, and any
  configured model), showing Custom Object instances that reference the viewed object
  via OBJECT or MULTIOBJECT typed fields.
• Pagination using NetBox's EnhancedPaginator; respects the user's personal
  per-page preference and the ?per_page=N URL parameter.
• Text search (?q=) filtering results by Custom Object instance display name,
  Custom Object Type name, and field label.
• Type filter dropdown (?type=<slug>) to narrow results to a single Custom Object
  Type, populated dynamically from types present in the current result set.
• Tag filter dropdown (?tag=<slug>) to narrow results to objects with a specific
  tag. Tag data is pre-fetched in bulk — no N+1 query cost.
• Column sorting — clicking Type, Object, or Field column headers sorts
  the table in-memory; a second click toggles direction.
• Value column — shows the actual field value: a link for OBJECT fields, or
  comma-separated links (truncated at 3) for MULTIOBJECT fields.
• Tags column — colored tag badges per row; — when none.
• Permission-gated action buttons — Edit (requires change) and Delete (requires
  delete) buttons per row. Users without permissions see no action buttons.
• HTMX partial updates — pagination, sorting, search, type-dropdown, and
  tag-dropdown changes swap only the table zone in-place without a full page reload.
  URL is updated via pushState so links remain shareable and the back button works.
• Configure Table — a "Configure Table" button lets authenticated users show, hide,
  and reorder columns (Type, Object, Value, Field, Tags). Preferences are persisted
  per-user in UserConfig. The Actions column is always visible.
• Efficient badge counts — the tab badge on detail pages is computed with COUNT(*)
  queries only; full object rows are loaded only when the tab itself is opened.
• Wildcard model registration — models config accepts app_label.* wildcards
  (e.g. dcim.*, ipam.*).
• Third-party plugin model support — any installed Django app can be listed in models.
• Default models: ['dcim.*', 'ipam.*', 'virtualization.*', 'tenancy.*', 'contacts.*'].
• Tab is hidden automatically (hide_if_empty=True) when no custom objects reference the
  viewed object.
• Configurable tab label and weight via PLUGINS_CONFIG.

Fixed

• Edit/Delete return URL — after saving an edit or confirming a deletion, NetBox
  redirects back to the Custom Objects tab (preserving active filters) instead of the
  Custom Object list page.

Requirements

• NetBox 4.5.0 – 4.5.99
• netbox_custom_objects plugin installed and configured
