Django Admin Interface

 When you start a project with Django it
also provides a default admin interface
that can be used to perform create, read,
update, and delete operations on the
model directly.
 It reads a set of data that explains and
gives information about data from the
model.
 Provides an instant interface where the
user can adjust the contents of the
application.
 This is an in-built module designed to

Customization of Django Admin Interface

 Change site title, site header and

index title (urls.py)
 Change the path of the admin
(urls.py)
 Making fields optional (models.py
blank=True, null=True setting).
Needs remigration.

driven app, chances are you’ll
have forms that map closely to
Django models
 DRY philosophy
 ModelForm offers a lot of
methods and features which
automate the entire process and

Need of Django Generic Views

 Writing web applications can be
monotonous, because we repeat certain
patterns again and again. Django tries to
take away some of that monotony at the
model, template and view level.
 Django’s generic views were developed to
ease that pain by facilitating writing
quickly common views of data without
having to write too much code.
 Eg: displaying a list of objects, and
displays a list of any object.

Capabilities of Django Generic Views

 Perform common “simple” tasks:
redirect to a different page and
render a given template.
 Display list and detail pages for
a single object.
 Present date-based objects in
year/month/day archive pages,
associated detail, and “latest”
pages.
 Allow users to create, update,
and delete objects—with or
without authorization.

views with Non-HTML content

 Normally a Django view receives
HttpRequest request and returns
HttpResponse
 By using mime-type in the
constructor of HttpResponse, one
can return Non-HTML content
 One can return image, XML, CSV,
PDF etc by including appropriate
mime type
