Django Smart Admin

Django's default ModelAdmin is kinda dull. It only displays the __unicode__ column and that's it. SmartAdmin attempts to create some more useful defaults for list_display, list_filter, etc., based on the model. (You can still manually specify whatever you want of course.)

This may be useful to you if you create new models often and want to have a usable admin for them without much work.

Installation

::

pip install django-smartadmin

Usage

Just use smartadmin.SmartAdmin instead of django.contrib.admin.ModelAdmin:

.. code-block:: python

from smartadmin import SmartAdmin

class MyModelAdmin(SmartAdmin):
    pass  # or override something

admin.site.register(MyModel, MyModelAdmin)

# or just:

admin.site.register(MyModel, SmartAdmin)
