…ox-custom-objects 0.6.0
The template override was based on 0.5.x and silently dropped upstream
0.6.0 features on the CO detail page: Contacts tab, Config Context tab,
owner display, coordinates rendering with Map button, and the polymorphic
M2M Type column. Regenerated from 0.6.0 stock with only our two deltas
(custom_object_tab_tags load + {% plugin_extra_tabs %} between Contacts
and Journal); the file keeps upstream formatting so future refreshes are
a plain diff against new stock.
The 0.6.0-based template reverses URLs that don't exist on 0.5.x, so the
ready() probe now checks CustomObjectFieldTypeChoices.TYPE_COORDINATES
(added in 0.6.0) and points users at netbox-custom-objects>=0.6.0.
…t.html base template
Two fixes in the typed/combined view plumbing:
- Replace the local filter-form replica in typed.py with upstream's
build_filterset_form_class (netbox_custom_objects.dynamic_forms) — the
same builder CustomObjectListView uses. The replica assigned the dict
returned by polymorphic get_filterform_field() (one form field per
allowed target type) to a single attribute, so polymorphic filters
never rendered in the typed-tab sidebar. Also gains the 0.6.0 owner
filter for free.
- _get_base_template() built "{app}/{model}.html" unconditionally, but
not every model has one (ipam/vrf.html and dcim/macaddress.html don't
exist), so {% extends base_template %} raised TemplateDoesNotExist
(HTTP 500) on those models' tab pages. Delegate to NetBox's
utilities.views.get_default_template(), which falls back to
generic/object.html — the same resolution Journal/Changelog tabs use.
Affected both combined and typed tabs.
Surfaces the 0.6.0 ownership field: sortable Owner column (hideable via
Configure Table, default on), an owner dropdown next to the tag filter,
and owner in the sort keys. Rows fetch owner via select_related — no
extra queries (OwnerMixin is on the CustomObject base, so every dynamic
model has the FK).
Also fixes the Field column sort link, which rendered as literal text
due to a mismatched template brace ({{ sort_headers.field.url %}).

Release 2.5.0: requires netbox-custom-objects >=0.6.0 (0.5.x installs stay on 2.4.1). NetBox floors unchanged (4.5.2–4.6.99).
