I am new at Django.

and I am creating one college project now I need to add some good functionality at the admin panel.

I want to add blog post type features with ajax to auto-save and all.
I want to create data visualization using charts, etc.

now the problem arises is I am confused about is this possible in the Django default admin panel?

if not available then it's good to create a custom admin panel?

need strong suggestions!

thank you.

Why do you want to add this to the admin panel?

This sounds like something you would do by creating a "normal" django app.

It is definitely possible, but not in the "default" admin panel without
customizing it.

No, I don't think a custom admin panel is what you're looking for.

Start by implementing a simple blog. The djangofirls tutorial is often
recommended here:

https://tutorial.djangogirls.org/en/

I would suggest you start following that tutorial and implement a simple
blog and once you have a good understanding of the basics, you can move
on to the more advanced features you mention.

Kind regards,
