django-admin2
One of the most useful parts of django.contrib.admin is the ability to configure various views that touch and alter data. django-admin2 is a complete rewrite of that library using modern Class-Based Views and enjoying a design focused on extendibility and adaptability. By starting over, we can avoid the legacy code and make it easier to write extensions and themes.

djadmin2_site.autodiscover()
urlpatterns = [
...
url(r'^admin2/', include(djadmin2_site.urls)),

How to write django-admin2 modules
# myapp/admin2.py
# Import your custom models
from django.contrib.auth.forms import UserCreationForm, UserChangeForm
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from djadmin2.site import djadmin2_site
from djadmin2.types import ModelAdmin2
from .models import Post, Comment
class UserAdmin2(ModelAdmin2):
# Replicates the traditional admin for django.contrib.auth.models.User
create_form_class = UserCreationForm
update_form_class = UserChangeForm
# Register each model with the admin
djadmin2_site.register(Post)
djadmin2_site.register(Comment)
djadmin2_site.register(User, UserAdmin2)
Migrating from 0.6.x
- The default theme has been updated to bootstrap3, be sure to replace your reference to the new one.
- Django rest framework also include multiple pagination system, the only one supported now is the PageNumberPagination.
Therefore, your settings need to include this:
# In settings.py
INSTALLED_APPS += ('djadmin2.themes.djadmin2theme_bootstrap3',)
ADMIN2_THEME_DIRECTORY = "djadmin2theme_bootstrap3"
REST_FRAMEWORK = {
'DEFAULT_PAGINATION_CLASS': 'rest_framework.pagination.PageNumberPagination',
'PAGE_SIZE': 10
}
The default admin2 site has move into djadmin2.site make sure your use the news djadmin2_site in your urls.py:
# urls.py
from django.conf.urls import include
from djadmin2.site import djadmin2_site
djadmin2_site.autodiscover()
urlpatterns = [
...
url(r'^admin2/', include(djadmin2_site.urls)),
]
Migrating from 0.5.x
Themes are now defined explicitly, including the default theme. Therefore, your settings need to include this:
# In settings.py
INSTALLED_APPS += ('djadmin2.themes.djadmin2theme_default',)
ADMIN2_THEME_DIRECTORY = "djadmin2theme_default"
Drop-In Themes
The default theme is whatever bootstrap is most current. Specifically:
# In settings.py
INSTALLED_APPS += ('djadmin2.themes.djadmin2theme_bootstrap3',)
ADMIN2_THEME_DIRECTORY = "djadmin2theme_bootstrap3"
If you create a new theme, you define it thus:
# In settings.py
# Mythical theme! This does not exit... YET!
INSTALLED_APPS += ('djadmin2theme_foundation',)
ADMIN2_THEME_DIRECTORY = "djadmin2theme_foundation"
