Customizing the Dashboard view
|
|
==============================
|
|
|
|
When you first log into django-admin2, just like ``django.contrib.admin`` you are presented with a display of apps and models. While this is useful for developers, it isn't friendly for end-users. Fortunately, django-admin2 makes it trivial to switch out the standard dashboard view.
|
|
|
|
However, because this is the dashboard view, the method of customization and configuration is different than other django-admin2 views.
|
|
|
|
In your Django project's root URLconf module (``urls.py``) modify the code to include the commented code before the ``djadmin2_site.autodiscover()``:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
from django.conf.urls import include, url
|
|
|
|
from djadmin2.site import djadmin2_site
|
|
from djadmin2.views import IndexView
|
|
|
|
|
|
######### Begin django-admin2 customization code
|
|
# Create a new django-admin2 index view
|
|
class CustomIndexView(IndexView):
|
|
|
|
# specify the template
|
|
default_template_name = "custom_dashboard_template.html"
|
|
|
|
# override the default index_view
|
|
djadmin2_site.index_view = CustomIndexView
|
|
######### end django-admin2 customization code
|
|
|
|
djadmin2_site.autodiscover()
|
|
|
|
urlpatterns = [
|
|
url(r'^admin2/', include(djadmin2_site.urls)),
|
|
# ... Place the rest of the project URLs here
|
|
]
|
|
|
|
In real projects the new IndexView would likely be placed into a ``views.py`` module.
|
|
|
|
.. note:: Considering that dashboard is more intuitive of a name, perhaps the ``IndexView`` should be renamed ``DashboardView``?
|
|
|
|
Customizing the Login view
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
The login view could also be customized.
|
|
|
|
In your Django project's root URLconf module (``urls.py``) modify the code to include the commented code before the ``djadmin2.default.autodiscover()``:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
from django.conf.urls import patterns, include, url
|
|
|
|
from djadmin2.site import djadmin2_site
|
|
from djadmin2.views import LoginView
|
|
|
|
|
|
######### Begin django-admin2 customization code
|
|
# Create a new django-admin2 index view
|
|
class CustomLoginView(LoginView):
|
|
|
|
# specify the template
|
|
default_template_name = "custom_login_template.html"
|
|
|
|
# override the default index_view
|
|
djadmin2_site.login_view = CustomLoginView
|
|
######### end django-admin2 customization code
|
|
|
|
djadmin2_site.autodiscover()
|
|
|
|
urlpatterns = patterns('',
|
|
url(r'^admin2/', include(djadmin2_site.urls)),
|
|
# ... Place the rest of the project URLs here
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
In real projects the new LoginView would likely be placed into a ``views.py`` module.
