Actually, there is an empty block defined in base.html to serve this
purpose:

{% block nav-global %}

Main |
Grants |
Global |
Site

{% endblock %}

I use the above in a custom base_site.html and it works great

Re: Stupid noob question - admin link

Hi Daniel.

I think this is way more complex than what I want.
I have a main page (e..g. the default page in my web root). It is
really just a title page with several links, one of which is to my
admin site to add/update objects. I just want a straight link back on
the admin page to the page in my root where I came from, so the user
can navigate there after completing whatever they were doing in admin.

You should probably read :
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/admin/#overriding-admin-templates

Summary : You could simply copy the file base_site.html from admin
templates to a directory called "admin" in your own template directory
and add a link to your own pages in {% block branding %} so you would
have access to the link on every admin page.

Have fun with Django.

If you define a get_absolute_url() method on your model, you'll get an
automatic 'view on site' link from the editing page in the admin which
goes to the view defined by that method - see
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/models/instances/#get-absolute-url
. Is that what you want?

Stupid noob question - admin link

2008-09-09 Thread Peter Bailey

Hi all, starting to think there is so much stuff in django and python
that I will never learn it all. I am building a site that used the
admin piece for most of the CRUD and a few other pages for the rest of
my requirements. I link to the admin from my main app page, and would
like to be able to link back the other way. Don't see an obvious way
to do this. Can anyone tell me a easy way to add a hyperlink from the
main admin page to somewhere else outside the admin app.

Thanks, and sorry for the dumb question.

Peter
