Is there a plan to modernize Django-admin?

[xliiv]

Hi!

Like the topic, though I don't mean only frontend.

Backend could be also rewritten with for example class-based views and other stuff used in regular Django apps?

Would it be a waste? I'm just curious what is your opinion. :)

Hi Tymoteusz,

As a volunteer project, what gets added to Django is whatever gets contributed. We don't make plans and then execute on those plans. I'm not aware of anyone who is actively working on a major rewrite/refactor of Django's admin at the moment.

The state of Django's Admin is a topic that has been discussed many times, over many years. I don't think you'd get any disagreement that there is room for improvement; but it's also a big project. There have been a number of third party projects that propose to replace Django's admin (most notably django-admin2, but it's by no means the only project with this goal). 

The key thing here is that a new admin could be entirely constructed as a third-party project. Django's existing admin doesn't do anything special - it's "just" a Django app, like any other. If you're particularly motivated, you could build your own Django admin using the tools that Django provides (and, as of 1.8, documents as official, stable API).

For what it's worth, I've got my own crazy ideas about what a "new" Django admin would look like, which I've hinted at at various conferences (hunt down any of my conference talks about class based views). However, I'm not likely to get any time soon to look at this as a project - I've got plenty of other yaks that I'm shaving at the moment :-)

Thanks for clarification, I'll check both: django-admin2 and django-xadmin.

Unfortunately their homepage just swears at me in Chinese.

I haven't lost my mind...
...it's backed up on a tape somewhere.

You can also look at http://djangosuit.com/ - works very well.  Free for non-commercial projects.  In the middle of an upgrade to Bootstrap 3.

Looks very good, but it is not responsive and suitable for mobile, right?

I use djangosuit.

It's great. I recommend.

But is better skin with some new features for django admin. Not a new "django admin"

A relatively new 'suit' in the block might be worth looking into: http://forms.viewflow.io/

I've tried it myself and I think although not complete in its implementation entirely, its a good start too.

[Derek]

Well, 'responsive' is not a very well defined term...  I have been using this package in projects for over two years, and it works well.  As for mobile - no, users are not going to want to interact on an *admin* site via their mobile!  But I have used this comfortably with a (standard) iPad.

Ignore the home page (its just for the company I think).  Rather work with github and readthedocs.  Also see the many comments here:
