Hallo everybody! I've got problem exteding the admin's index view. I need to pass extra_context to the index of the admin, after the administrator logged in, that's why I'm trying to extend the view. So...
What I've got is: In the root of the project I modified urls.py like following: (r'^admin/$', project.admin.admin_site.index), (r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)), Again in the root of the project I've got admin.py with the following snippet of code: [...] class AdminSiteRegistryFix( object ): ''' This fix links the '_registry' property to the orginal AdminSites '_registry' property. This is necessary, because of the character of the admins 'autodiscover' function. Otherwise the admin site will say, that you havn't permission to edit anything. ''' def _registry_getter(self): return default_site._registry def _registry_setter(self,value): default_site._registry = value _registry = property(_registry_getter, _registry_setter) class MyAdmin(sites.AdminSite, AdminSiteRegistryFix): @never_cache def index(self, request, extra_context={}): last_report_date = models.Reports.objects.latest().entry_date now = datetime.now() delta = now - last_report_date extra_context['last_report_interval'] = delta.days return super(MyAdmin, self).index(request, extra_context) admin_site = MyAdmin() And it works. I've got the last_report_interval in the index.html template and I can write my lovely message to the admin. The problem is, that the ^admin/$ address swiches between the login and index view, despite of users authentication status. And this is nice, but not working after my changes, written above. Now I see only the app list of the index. When I'm not logged in, I just see an empty list, but I've got no login form... Can anyone help me, understanding why has my login form disappeared? What I can see from the django.contrib.admin.sites is that the admin_view function is the one, calling the login view. But I have noting to do with it, I haven't modify it and I don't understand what disturbs it's functionallity. Thank you in advance for your help!
