Configurable landing page in admin site

[Gagan Deep]

Greetings of the day,

I have use case where I want to show a custom landing page after a user logs into the admin site. One way to do it will be to override the index_template attribute of AdminSite, but doing so will not let me use the index page generated by Django admin . 

I want to keep the index view intact while also providing a custom landing page logged in users on Django's admin site. I think such feature will be helpful for all users of Django. 

Best, 

Gagan Deep

You can do this already by changing where the login redirects to in your custom AdminSite class

def login(self, *args, **kwargs):
        response = super().login(*args, **kwargs)
        if isinstance(response, HttpResponseRedirect):
            response = HttpResponseRedirect("/custom-page/")
        return response

Thanks for sharing Adam. This should take care of my use case. 

Do you think there can be a potential use for introducing a setting/attribute dedicated for adding a landing page? 

Best,

No I don’t think so given that customisation is already possible.
