It's relatively simple to customise the admin homepage entirely.
Firstly, you can write your own view and use a urlconf that occurs
earlier than the admin one to cause it to be displayed instead (but
just for the homepage). Secondly, you can define your own admin
subclass and customise that. For example:
from django.contrib import admin
class MyAdmin(admin.AdminSite):
# Use a different template for the admin homepage
index_template = 'path/to/my/admin_index.html'
def index(self, request):
# You can write your own index logic here if you like
# OR... you can add your own bits and pieces to the context
and
# call the default admin view, like this:
return super(MyAdmin, self).index(request, extra_context = {
'extra_variable': 1,
})
Does this give you the flexibility you need?
Cheers,
