Customizations

App Configuration in apps.py

Customize application-specific settings using the apps.py file. Here's an example for a Polls app:

class PollsConfig(AppConfig):
    name = 'polls'  
    icon = 'fa fa-square-poll-vertical'  # Optional FontAwesome icon  
    divider_title = "Apps"  # Optional title for the section divider
    priority = 0  # Order of the app in the sidebar
    hide = False  # True to hide from the sidebar

Global Settings in settings.py

Define project-wide settings for customizing the admin interface through the DAISY_SETTINGS dictionary. Example:

DAISY_SETTINGS = {
    'SITE_TITLE': 'Django Admin',
    'SITE_HEADER': 'Administration',
    'INDEX_TITLE': 'Hi, welcome to your dashboard',
    'SITE_LOGO': '/static/admin/img/daisyui-logomark.svg',  # Path to logo
    'EXTRA_STYLES': [],  # List of additional stylesheets
    'EXTRA_SCRIPTS': [],  # List of additional scripts
    'LOAD_FULL_STYLES': False,
    'SHOW_CHANGELIST_FILTER': False,
    'DONT_SUPPORT_ME': False,
    'SIDEBAR_FOOTNOTE': '',
    'APPS_REORDER': {
        'auth': {
            'icon': 'fa-solid fa-person-military-pointing',  # Custom icon
            'name': 'Authentication',  # Custom app name
            'hide': False,  # Hide setting
            'app': 'users',  # Actual app to display
            'divider_title': "Auth",  # Divider title
        },
        # Additional app configurations
    },
}

Tabbed Inline Admin

To create a tabbed inline admin interface in your Django project:

1. Import NavTabMixin: Import in your admin.py file:

   from django_daisy.mixins import NavTabMixin
   

2. Create InlineAdmin Classes: Extend NavTabMixin in your InlineAdmin class:

   class ChoiceInline(admin.TabularInline, NavTabMixin):
       model = Choice
       extra = 1
   

3. Register Admin Class: Use the inline admin class in your ModelAdmin class:

   @admin.register(Poll)
   class PollAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
       inlines = [ChoiceInline]
   

Language Switching in Admin Panel

To enable language switching:

1. Update urls.py: Add i18n URL path.
2. Enable LocaleMiddleware: Ensure it's included in your middleware.
3. Define Supported Languages: Specify supported languages in your settings.py file.
