Question

I need to override the an add form within the admin panel.

I’m thinking of accomplishing this by writing a view which would then point to the admin view for the final result.

Something similar to this (where admin_basic_ass_user_view is the admin view)

@required_login
def add_user(request):
    if condition:
        return admin_basic_add_user_view(request)
    return render_to_response("admin/auth/user/add_form.html", { ... })

Any ideas?

Why not just override the relevant methods with your ModelAdmin subclass? That’s why it’s a class, after all.
