Hello!
Django ModelAdmin class has a nice way to create custom admin views with
get_urls(). What is missing however is a way to expose them in the admin
index page.
Frank Wiles created the (now abandoned) django-admin-views package [1] as a
workaround and there are many questions regarding this in StackOverflow
[2][3][4][5].
What do you think about exposing custom views in admin index page via a new
ModelAdmin.extra_views attribute?
extra_views would be a list of dictionaries/objects with 'url' and 'name'
fields.
They would be visible in the index page with the following change to
django/contrib/admin/templates/admin/index.html:
