Hello,

I am trying to get the company that I work at to use Django and Python
for future webdevelopment (whereas now that is done with PHP). We have
lots of different customers with lots of different website needs so
the datamodel is different so webframeworks are good choice (over CMS
maybe) and Django rocks so use that, is the reasoning :P.

To make a use case and test the framework out I'm making an app called
treepages that with models Page (tree) and Field I can make a
structure of webpages with editable fields in the backend. I could use
the admin to add and remove fields and maybe even disable that
functionality in production for that site so they can only change page
content, not structure.

The way I'd like it to work is to change the index view of the page
model of the treepages app in the admin to my custom view function.
The problem here for me is that even if I make a route to my own app
controller instead of the admin one I don't know if and how I can get
my own view function to behave like an django admin view but then
include my own logic i.e. how do I integrate with the admin 'session'.

Later I might be interested in changing other views in the admin as
well to for example have a custom 'dashboard' on the index view when
enabled in the 'misc settings' view etc.

I understand that this might have been asked before but even if the
admin wasn't really made for this (though it's all strictly adminny
stuff meant for the client administrators and not the frontend users
of the site..) is it possible?

Greetings,

Tom Wieland
