---------------------------+-------------------------------
A multi-db bug in django.contrib.contenttypes is triggered via the "View
on site" link on the admin site change form when the model uses a
different db from the contenttypes app (see discussion at
https://groups.google.com/d/topic/django-users/Y50SimNd8zo/discussion and
related ticket at #15610). If I follow the logic correctly, there is no
need to route the "View on site" link through
django.contrib.contenttypes.views.shortcut b/c the admin view has already
determined that the model has implemented get_absolute_url, and the
shortcut view simply repeats the process -- i.e. by a convoluted method
that gets the object and calls get_absolute_url -- except that it trips
the aforementioned bug. While this bug should obviously be fixed, the
change form can be patched with the attached file.
