A Django admin theme with a horizontal, tabbed navigation bar
Project description
Django Admin Menu Theme
An alternative theme for the Django admin that has a horizontal navigation bar with drop down menus for your models. Fully themeable from settings.py
.
Installation
Install the package:
pip install django-admin-menu
Then add admin_menu
to your INSTALLED_APPS
setting, before django.contrib.admin
(or it wont work). For example:
INSTALLED_APPS = [
'admin_menu',
'django.contrib.admin',
...
]
Settings
There are a couple of options you can adjust in your settings.py
to influence the theme.
To adjust the logo, change:
ADMIN_LOGO = 'logo.png'
The logo is used in the top left of each page and on the login page.
You can adjust the order of the menu items with the MENU_WEIGHT
setting:
MENU_WEIGHT = {
'World': 20,
'Auth': 4,
'Sample': 5
}
Items with a higher weight will be pushed to the end of the menu. You don't have to fill in all the menu items, just the ones you would like to adjust the position of.
ModelAdmin Settings
There are a few settings on your ModelAdmin
class to adjust the menu:
class MyAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
menu_title = "Users"
menu_group = "Staff"
will change the title for this model to Users
and place it on a drop down titled Staff
.
You can use the same menu_group
on multiple ModelAdmin
classes and they will be grouped on the same menu.

Theming
To adjust the theme, you can add and edit these options in your project's settings.py
file:
ADMIN_STYLE = {
'primary-color': '#164B36',
'secondary-color': '#092117',
'tertiary-color': '#51B48E'

These variables are usually enough to add a brand flavour to the admin. There are other variables you can add, to change text colour etc. These are listed under Custom Theme.
