In this guide I’ll walk you through how to modify and extend Django default admin panel/interface, making it more user-friendly.
1. Set up the Project:
Start by creating a brand new project and app in Django
django-admin startproject myprojectname
cd myprojectname
python manage.py startapp developerscommunity
** Note**
Do not forgot to add your app ti the INSTALLED_APPS in settings.py
2. Run migrations:
python manage.py makemigrations
python manage.py migrate
3. Resgister Models in Admin Panel:
Register of models is compulsory to see it in django admin
interface
from django.contrib import admin
from .models import DevCommunity
admin.site.register(DevCommunity)
Above Steps will lead you to Django Admin Panel Now comes the customization part
4. Customize the Admin Panel:
class CustomAdminSite(admin.AdminSite):
will appear at the top-left corner
site_header = “Dev Admin”
will show in the browser tab
site_title = Developer Admin Portal
will be displayed on the admin home page.
index_title = “Welcome to Developer Community”
custom_admin_site = CustomAdminSite(name=”dev_admin”)
#All code at one place
class CustomAdminSite(admin.AdminSite):
site_header = "Dev Admin"
site_title = Developer Admin Portal
index_title = "Welcome to Developer Community"
custom_admin_site = CustomAdminSite(name="dev_admin")
5. To register:
