Comment (by chipx86):
Curious if there's been any further discussion with this change. I've been
trying to deploy an instance of the admin UI with a dynamic prefix
(basically, hosting instances of a webapp grouped by some identifier), and
have a custom subclass of AdminSite that can take the parameters and do
the right thing.
Now, this works, except that reversing admin URLs fails because of the way
namespaces and captured arguments in the prefix of the URL works. This
behavior has actually delayed our launch by about a week, so I'm eager to
find a solution of some sort. I think where things seem confusing is that
namespaced URLs just do not work the way standard URLs do.
I played around with a couple patch ideas. One thing off the top of my
head would be to have the namespaces dictionary build up the possible
matches in place of the raw prefix. In a sense, it'd act like
reverse_dict, except keyed off by namespace. Then the right possibilities
could be received based on namespace.
The trick at that point would be to pass that information to
RegexURLResolver.reverse. Maybe the namespace could be passed to it, or
the list of possibilities to use instead of those in reverse_dict.
Or I may be on totally the wrong path. However, from the CC list and my
own experiences, it doesn't seem that the current design is really
sufficient for more advanced use, and I'd be happy to work on this but
want to make sure I'm not about to waste any time by going in a direction
you guys don't want to go in.
