Question

I want to have 2 separate admin sites inside a Django project.

First is default admin
And Second is “coursemanager”
Following code i have added with the help of AdminSite

File Path “cms/courses/admin.py”

from courses.models import *
from django.contrib import admin
from django.contrib.admin.sites import AdminSite
from django.contrib.auth.models import User, Group
from django.contrib.auth.admin import UserAdmin, GroupAdmin 

class CourseManager(AdminSite):
    name = 'CourseManager'

course_manager = CourseManager()

class CityAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    list_display = ['__unicode__', 'status',]
    list_filter = ['status',]
    search_fields = ['title',]

 course_manager.register(City, CityAdmin)

“cms/cms/urls.py”

from courses.admin import course_manager
urlpatterns = patterns('',    
    url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
    url(r'coursemanager/', include(course_manager.urls)),
) 

But when i add this http://domain.local/coursemanager/ & http://domain.local/admin/ both panel is working but in http://domain.local/coursemanger/ list register city module but not showing the add or changes links. Event i tried to access links from url but not working. I am checking this as superuser and i have all modules access. But when i change code like bellow

“cms/cms/urls.py”

from courses.admin import course_manager
urlpatterns = patterns('',    
    url(r'coursemanager/', include(course_manager.urls)),
    url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
) 

Then http://domain.local/coursemanager/ working properly and http://domain.local/admin panel is only listing all register admin but not showing the add/change links.

Answer 1

The app_name of AdminSite() is initialized through AdminSite.__init__(). You cannot override it by providing class-level variable, thus you were experiencing instance namespace collision and then some reverse failure, here, which caused add/change links not showing. Try

class CourseManager(AdminSite):
    '...'

course_manager = CourseManager(name='CourseManager')

# or
course_manager = AdminSite(name='CourseManager')
