Basically I am a newbie to Django (and Python in general) but I really like the functionality the Admin page gives you; it's absolutely awesome to add a line or two of Python and have, for example, a search bar instantly added, or have a log built in.
I have an idea for an application that 90% of its basic functionality would be handled directly by the Django admin; it doesn't really have a "public facing" site. However, I need some extra stuff that isn't provided by the admin interface; for example I'm going to have a module to send email notifications to people, and maybe have a customized "dashboard" when you first log in. What I want to know is if it's possible to "extend" the admin site by adding my own views and templates (those are the correct terms in Django parlance, right?) so I am using the admin site as-is for managing, let's say contacts, but there's a link added that says something like "Create Notifications" and then lets you create an email and select contacts to send it to, and when you press Submit it will mail them out? That part would be custom written. Is this possible? It wouldn't be such a big deal except for all the bells and whistles that the Django admin comes with out of the box; it seems a shame to rewrite all of that stuff from scratch if it's already included. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
