admin/ vs. admin/(.*)

Jun 272009

1. (r'^admin/', admin.site.root)
2. (r'^admin/(.*)', admin.site.root)
If you type in browser

/admin/xx/ with 1, you will get the below error:
root() takes exactly 3 arguments (2 given)
So, use 2.

In admin interface,

the element of list will be displayed.

—————-

e.g.,

from django.contrib import admin
from mailer.models import Message

class MessageAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
list_display = (‘id’, ‘to_address’, ‘subject’, ‘when_added’, ‘priority’)

After you generate a model, if you register the model at admin site,

admin can create data based on your model design (even if you haven’t built the input page yet.)

————

e.g.,

from django.contrib import admin
from yourapp.models import Post

class PostAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
prepopulated_fields = {‘slug’: (‘title’,)}

admin.site.register(Post, PostAdmin)

In urls.py please add
