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.

the element of list will be displayed.

—————-

e.g.,

from django.contrib import admin

Why admin.site.register is needed for model?

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

from django.contrib import admin

otherwise,

django can’t understand

(r’^admin/(.*)’, admin.site.root),
