OK, I've gotten more done after watching your video and going over the Django tutorials covering `admin.py`. My `admin.py` looks like this now. I renamed the classes...:
from __future__ import unicode_literals from copy import deepcopy from django.contrib import admin from django.utils.translation import ugettext_lazy as _ from .models import ProjectLinkPage, ProjectCategory # Register your models here. admin.site.register(ProjectLinkPage) admin.site.register(ProjectCategory) So now "Project links" appears in the admin page lefthand side. When I add a new project link, then try to view it on site, I get an error saying: NotImplementedError: The model ProjectLinkPage does not have get_absolute_url defined I will add a `get_absolute_url()` method to my `ProjectLinkPage` class. But here's the thing. I want this Projects Page to have links to different, customized pages. One of the links on the Projects Page could go to an HTML file that has an interactive map on it. Looking at `get_absolute_url()` in Mezzanine's BlogPost class, I'm unsure how I'd edit ProjectLinksPage's `get_absolute_url()` to do what I want. Any tips? Examples of other custom-made `get_absolute_url()` methods? Or maybe I'm looking at this all wrong?
