Admin problem launching a non-Admin page

[Mike Dewhirst]

I'm studying the Admin docs trying to figure out how to launch a
non-Admin page when required.

Django 1.11 and Pythons 2.7/3.6

The parts which look promising are ...
[1]    ModelAdmin.response_add()
[2] ModelAdmin.response_change()
[3]    ModelAdmin.add_view()
[4]    ModelAdmin.change_view()
and
[5]    admin.ModelAdmin.form

The use-case is ...after saving, detect whether a token (from a payment
gateway) exists in a subscription record and if not, launch a non-Admin
Django page/form to interface with the payment gateway.

I have tried unsuccessfully to launch any of a form, view or template
from the model save() method.

Has anyone had a similar Admin use-case and found a good way of tackling it?

Thanks for any suggestions

Mike

Hi Mike

Normally I have just used the functionality in a third-party admin "wrapper", for example, Django Suit  (https://django-suit.readthedocs.io/en/develop/configuration.html#id1).

I see others such as Jet (https://jet.readthedocs.io/en/latest/dashboard_custom_module.html) allow you to do the same.

Maybe you can get some ideas from them?  Basically you can create your own view and use that to display data in a template that inherits from, for example, the Django admin form template. A bit tricky first time but then it seems straightforward.
