Installation guide

Install from pypi, with pip:

pip install django-admin-customizer

Or with setuptools:

easy_install django-admin-customizer

Add admin_customizer to INSTALLED_APPS:

INSTALLED_APPS += ("admin_customizer", )

Add the admin customizer’s urls to your root url conf. This is the url where your will access your custom admin instances. Eg: in your project’s urls.py add:

(r'^admin/_/', include('admin_customizer.urls')),

After that you need to run:

manage.py syncdb

Or if you use south:

manage.py syncdb --migrate

You need to update admin_customizer’s models to get it working, initially and after each model change with:

manage.py refresh_available_fields

Note:

If you delete models the registered admins will be deleted for them.

If you delete fields from models the registered admins will have them removed after you run refresh_available_fields.

django-admin-customizer has static files for widgets in the edit interface. If you use staticfiles just run:

manage.py collectstatic

If you do not use django.contrib.staticfiles you must manually symlink the site-packages/admin_customizer/static/admin_customizer dir to <your media root>/admin_customizer.
