From 2e72445fce44d95914921448af846ff7a2f70167 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Brian Rosner Date: Wed, 9 Jul 2008 16:01:33 +0000 Subject: newforms-admin: Added autodiscover functionality to django.contrib.admin. This makes the admin aware of per-app admin.py modules and does an import on them when explicitly called. Docs show how this is used. Fixed #6003, #6776, #6776. git-svn-id: http://code.djangoproject.com/svn/django/branches/newforms-admin@7872 bcc190cf-cafb-0310-a4f2-bffc1f526a37 --- docs/admin.txt | 9 +++++++++ 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+) (limited to 'docs') diff --git a/docs/admin.txt b/docs/admin.txt index 996930fc2b..08cafc2450 100644 --- a/docs/admin.txt +++ b/docs/admin.txt @@ -609,11 +609,16 @@ In this example, we register the default ``AdminSite`` instance # urls.py from django.conf.urls.defaults import * from django.contrib import admin + + admin.autodiscover() urlpatterns = patterns('', ('^admin/(.*)', admin.site.root), ) +Above we used ``admin.autodiscover()`` to automatically load the +``INSTALLED_APPS`` admin.py modules. + In this example, we register the ``AdminSite`` instance ``myproject.admin.admin_site`` at the URL ``/myadmin/`` :: @@ -625,6 +630,10 @@ In this example, we register the ``AdminSite`` instance ('^myadmin/(.*)', admin_site.root), ) +There is really no need to use autodiscover when using your own ``AdminSite`` +instance since you will likely be importing all the per-app admin.py modules +in your ``myproject.admin`` module. + Note that the regular expression in the URLpattern *must* group everything in the URL that comes after the URL root -- hence the ``(.*)`` in these examples. -- cgit v1.3
