can I have more links in Admin Controller?

[D R Dinesh Kumar]

Hi,

I see that only models can be passed to Admin controller which displays them as links in admin page.

Can also have some custom made links at /admin page?

My code looks like this:

class RootController(BaseController):   

    admin = AdminController([model.User, model.Group, ...], DBSession)

now when I go to /admin it shows my the group item with links to /admin/users and /admin/groups.

Here I would like to add some more items in the same page ex: /admin/task1 and /admin/task2 etc.

How do I achieve this? Using default_index_template is completely loosing the /admin/users and /admin/groups links.

Please help.

With Regards,

Dinesh.

The admin itself allows only to provide the entities that it should manage, if you want to provide further customisation you can:

1. Provide a `index_payoff ` option to the admin configuration and add there HTML with any additional links

2. Use tgext.pluggable Template Patches to edit the admin template however you need ( https://github.com/TurboGears/tgext.pluggable#patching-templates )

3. Replace the whole default_index_template copying the existing template ( https://raw.githubusercontent.com/TurboGears/tgext.admin/7b0cf2cb2894d44840f3c46fb1dd6e5efccc2736/tgext/admin/templates/bootstrap_index.xhtml ) inside your own project and customising it however you prefer

I usually just go for 3, on long term maintaining patches and configuration options gets far more messy than just providing a custom template.

Hi Alessandro,

Thank you for the response.

I have used custom_template option to load my own template where it has links to the admin generated pages. 

This way I could manage my custom links and also admin links.
