Radmin the totally rad django admin console.

Install & Config

Make sure the django.template.loaders.app_directories.Loader is enabled

Ex:

TEMPLATE_LOADERS = (
	'django.template.loaders.filesystem.Loader',
	'django.template.loaders.app_directories.Loader',
)

Add radmin to your installed apps. Make sure you place it before the django admin

Ex:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'django.contrib.sites',
    'django.contrib.messages',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles',
    'radmin', # !!! This needs to come before django.contrib.admin
    'django.contrib.admin',
    'myapp',
)

Add radmin urls to you projects urls.py

Ex:

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    url(r'^radmin/', include('radmin.urls')), #NEED
    url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
)

Usage Examples

Register radmin items in your apps admin.py

Ex:

from myapp.models import Thing
from radmin import console

admin.site.register(Thing)

# ----------------------------------------------radmin starts here-------------------------------------
# shows up everwhere
console.register_to_all('Everywhere Action', 'myapp.views.current_datetime', True) # True means show the return value of the method called.

# shows up only at /admin
console.register_to_admin_index('Admin Index Action', 'myapp.views.current_datetime', True) 

#shows up at app index /admin/app
console.register_to_app('MyApp', 'App level action', 'myapp.views.current_datetime') 

#shows up when you are at the model list eg /admin/app/model
console.register_to_model_list(Thing, 'Model List Level Action','myapp.views.current_datetime') 

# shows up at single model /admin/app/model/id. The call back should expect to recieve the model id back
console.register_to_model(Thing, 'Model Level Action', 'myapp.views.get_current_model_name') 

Sample Callbacks

Call backs should return something. Here are some examples of callbacks I use.

154 def clear_memcache():
155     try:
156         import memcache
157         mc = memcache.Client(['127.0.0.1:11211'], debug=0)
158         mc.flush_all()
159         return "Memcache cleared"
160     except ImportError:
161         return "Failed: python-memcache not installed"
