Django admin - how to change breadcrumbs 'Home' into 'Main menu'

[Mike Dewhirst]

We are using 'Home' in a different, more public, part of the site and
have to adjust that first item in the Admin breadcrumbs to 'Menu' or
'Main menu' in order to keep the UX masters happy. Some of the Admin is
public facing.

Looking at the source, I would have to override an awful lot of
templates with ...

<a href="{% url 'admin:index' %}">{% translate 'Home' %}</a>

It looks impossible to do elegantly. I shudder at scripting a global
search and replace.

Is this worth putting in the effort to make 'Home' a setting - if that
is even possible.

If so, how do I get started on that?

Thanks

Mike

haven't tried it but you could potentially just override the "/admin/base.html" template in your templates directory

although I think you'd have to override the breadcrumb block in each of the public facing admin templates, it doesn't look to be easily done and making a home setting it's probably overkill

That does change it but only at the top level admin:index page which
shows all the apps

Doesn't seem to be inherited by child pages.

Overkill, underkill - looks like no other solution at the moment. I'll
look a bit deeper.
