Django - Register App Model in Custom AdminSite - django

Question

I have a django project with three apps: website, blog, and customauth. The customauth app implements a custom user and AdminSite. The blog app has a Post model. I am trying to register the Post model with the custom AdminSite and I receive the following error:
NoReverseMatch at /my_admin/
Reverse for 'app_list' with keyword arguments '{'app_label': 'blog'}' not found. 1 pattern(s) tried: ['admin\\/(?P<app_label>customauth)/$']
Request Method: GET
Request URL: http://127.0.0.1:8000/my_admin/
Django Version: 2.0.4
Exception Type: NoReverseMatch
Exception Value:
Reverse for 'app_list' with keyword arguments '{'app_label': 'blog'}' not found. 1 pattern(s) tried: ['admin\\/(?P<app_label>customauth)/$']
Here is customauth/admin.py:
class MyAdminSite(admin.AdminSite):
site_title = "Custom Administration Area"
site_header = 'Custom Administration Area'
def get_urls(self):
urls = super(MyAdminSite, self).get_urls()
my_urls = [
url(r'^my_view/$', self.my_view, name='my_view'),
]
return my_urls + urls
def my_view(self,request):
value = "You're looking at the new admin view."
context = dict(
# Include common variables for rendering the admin template.
self.each_context(request),
# Anything else you want in the context...
key=value,
)
return TemplateResponse(request, "website/admin.html", context)
admin_site = MyAdminSite(name='myadmin')
# Now register the new UserAdmin...
admin_site.register(MyUser, UserAdmin)
And here is blog/admin.py:
from django.contrib import admin
from customauth.admin import admin_site
# Register your models here.
from .models import Post
class PostAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
pass
admin_site.register(Post,PostAdmin)
Here is the website/urls.py:
from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import include, path
from customauth.admin import admin_site
from . import views
urlpatterns = [
path('admin/', admin.site.urls, name='admin'),
path('my_admin/', include('customauth.urls'), name='custom_admin'),
path('', views.index, name='index'),
path('latest_news/', include('blog.urls'), name='latest_news')
]
And here is the customauth/urls.py:
from . import views
from .admin import admin_site
urlpatterns = [
path('', admin_site.my_view, name='custom_admin'),
]
What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

I figured out what I did wrong.
The problem is the way I configured the urls.
In website.urls I changed:
path('my_admin/', include('customauth.urls'), name='custom_admin'),
to
path('my_admin/', admin_site.urls, name='custom_admin'),
And that solved the problem. I no longer need the customauth.urls file.
