Django admin site

  • $ python manage.py creatsuperuser creates users with attr is_superuser or is_staff
  • class ModelAdmin from django.contrib.admin
    • if you need to make changes to the default admin interface, you need to create a object of ModelAdmin like so: class AuthorAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):, this represent Author model on admin dashboard
    • instead of registering like this: admin.site.register(Author), you have to use a decorator to your AuthorAdmin class like so: 
      from django.contrib import admin
from .models import Author
from myproject.admin_site import custom_admin_site
    
# Reader and Editor objects have to have a ForeignKey field pointing at Author
@admin.register(Author, Reader, Editor, site=custom_admin_site)
class AuthorAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
	pass
    • Create InlineModelAdmin object to display extra info on a model in admin add page.
