Reverse URL django-admin

[dtdave]

I apologise in advance for the length of my post but I have included all the detail I can.

I have the following structure for an app. The list view template uses Bootstrap DataTables. My question is how to amend the urls to return the change url in django-admin.


models.py

def get_absolute_url(self):
        return reverse('contact_detail', kwargs={"id": self.id})

urls.py


from django.conf.urls import url
from .views import (
    contacts_list,
    contacts_detail,
)


urlpatterns = [
    url(r'^$', contacts_list, name='contact_list'),
    url(r'^(?P<id>\d+)/$', contacts_detail, name='contact_detail'),
]


views.py
from django.contrib.auth.decorators import user_passes_test
from django.shortcuts import render, get_object_or_404
from .models import Contact


@user_passes_test(lambda u: u.is_staff)
def contacts_list(request):
    c = {}
    contacts = Contact.objects.all()
    c['contacts'] = contacts
    return render(request, 'contacts/contacts_list.html', c)


def contacts_detail(request, id=None):
    instance = get_object_or_404(Contact, id=id)
    context = {
        "title": "Contact Details",
        "instance": instance,
    }
    return render(request, "contacts/contacts_detail.html", context)

contact_list.html
<td><a href='{{ contact.get_absolute_url }}'>{{ contact.id }}</a></td>

Any advice would be appreciated.
