django admin code modification

[Carl Brubaker]

So there are lots of things I like about the django admin, and somethings I would like to change. Since django is kinda about not reinventing the wheel, is there an "app" or file or something where I can find the admin information to modify it to what I want, and then save it as a new app? Thanks!

Hi.

It would be helpful to know what changes you're after.

Admin is designed to be datacentric view to your models. Trying to make admin something more is quite a job.

That's why there exists generic class based views. They allow to create much more flexible views and incorporate for example business logic.

I am trying to make a customer database (name, address, etc) and I need to be able to add new customers, edit customer info, delete customers, and search for them through name and phone number (and possibly more). When I enter the admin site and select my app, I have all of those fields given to me as well as a search field.

Also, is there documentation as to what the generic views are? I have tried to find them and failed miserably.

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

Generic views are documented at https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.0/topics/class-based-views/
