Django admin: Can't add app to admin - django

I have installed Django on my host (I use their install version 1.1.1), all is working fine.
I have created some apps and they are registered in my settings.py (I can verify this works when i visit the site, the app shows up).
In the folder of this app i have created admin.py with the following content:
from progmaticnet.page.models import Page, PageContent
from django.contrib import admin
class PageContentInline( admin.StackedInline ):
model = PageContent
extra = 1
max_num = 1
class PageAdmin( admin.ModelAdmin ):
inlines = [ PageContentInline ]
class Media:
#js = ('/site_media/js/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/tiny_mce.js', '/site_media/js/tinymce/textarea.js')
admin.site.register( Page, PageAdmin )
But my app doesn't show up in the admin... It is said in the documentation that you'll need to restart the server, although i can't do that (runs on apache), i have a dispatch.fcgi with this content:
#!/usr/bin/python
import sys, os
project_sys="/home/progmati/public_html"
#add a custom python path
sys.path.insert(0, project_sys)
# set the DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE environment variable
os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'progmaticnet.settings'
from django.core.servers.fastcgi import runfastcgi
runfastcgi(method="threaded")
I have killed the process and started it anew but with no avail...
Does anybody know what to do about it?
Thanks

Why is the js declaration commented out in your Media class? That looks like it'll be an invalid class definition as a result (class definitions can't be entirely empty). Try uncommenting it, or adding pass below the commented out line, like this:
class Media:
#js = ('/site_media/js/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/tiny_mce.js', '/site_media/js/tinymce/textarea.js')
pass

Django / app import problem from submodule

I'm writing my own Django app, and trying to import submodule from my core library like that:
INSTALLED_APPS = [
'django.contrib.admin',
...
'core.login',
]
And interpreter gives me:
django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured:
Cannot import 'login'.
Check that 'core.login.apps.CustomloginConfig.name' is correct.
So login.apps looks like that
from django.apps import AppConfig
class CustomloginConfig(AppConfig):
name = 'login'
Are there any rules how I can edit this files to start Django properly?
apps.py file needs to be as so
from django.apps import AppConfig
class CustomloginConfig(AppConfig):
name = 'core.login'
This is where you tell django that I have registered this app 'core.login' and where to find it.
If login folder is in a core folder, then the above should work.
I think theres a lot of django apps out there that have organized things this way.
One being Kiwi but Im sure theres many others.

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'foo'

I´m trying to make a cron inside my django app with django-crontab==0.7.1,.
Within my project settings installed apps, crontab app first, and then my app, both registered.
In my cron.py:
from .models import Url
urls=Url.objects.values_list('url')
def foo(url):
if url not in urls:
link= Url(
url=url,
)
link.save()
foo('https://example.org')
Also tried to put inside cron.py, but it doesn´t make sense since both are inside same app
from foo.models import Url
Also init.py inside app
My models.py inside foo app, after migrations ran
from django.db import models
class Url(models.Model):
url=models.URLField('url',blank=False,null=False)
but still getting ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'foo'
Sorry if this has been asked before, but nothing watched yet gives me the answer
Thank you

Django REST API Generics displaying improperly

Currently using a REST API and the generic views CreateUpdateDestroy, and my admin display GUI looks like this :
All the sources online that I've followed, tutorials etc get a generic view which looks much nicer.
Here is my views.py:
from rest_framework import generics
from models import Results
from serializers import ResulutsSerializer
class ResultsList(generics.ListAPIView):
queryset = Results.objects.all()
serializer_class = ResultsSerializer
class ResultsDetail(generics.RetrieveUpdateDestroyAPIView):
queryset = Results.objects.all()
serializer_class = ResultsSerializer
and urls.py:
from django.urls import path
from main import views
urlpatterns = [
path('results/', views.ResultsList.as_view()),
path('<int:pk>/', views.ResultsDetails.as_view())
]
what am I doing wrong?
It looks like you need to collect your app assets:
$ python manage.py collectstatic
# You can provide option: --settings=<your-settings-file> if you're using custom settings which is not default in manage.py
You will need to configure staticfiles settings in your Django settings module if not already configured – e.g. settings.py. Please follow documentation at:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.0/howto/static-files/
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.0/ref/contrib/staticfiles/
If you are developing locally:
You should set DEBUG=True in your Django Settings Module (i.e. normally settings.py)

Change header 'Django administration' text on nginx

I followed this question's answers to change my django admin panel title header.
I tried this:
There is an easy way to set admin site header - assign it to current
admin instance in urls.py like this
admin.site.site_header = 'My admin'
But it just works when I'm running the page via Python manage.py runserver
My question is how can I change the admin title header when I'm running the site via gunicorn and nginx
writing this code at the bottom of urls.py somehow worked:
admin.site.site_header = 'My admin'
If you already have an admin.py file started wherein you have registered your particular models, you can simply adjust these values there.
your_app/admin.py
# Simple admin setup
from django.contrib import admin
from .models import MyModel
# Register model
admin.site.register(MyModel)
# Tweak admin site settings like title, header, 'View Site' URL, etc
admin.site.site_title = 'My App Admin'
admin.site.site_header = 'My App Admin'
You can find all the attributes here.
follow the below steps to customize the site header and site title text of django admin login page :
1.)First import admin module in settings.py file like as below :
from django.contrib import admin
2.)In bottom of settings.py file add these lines:
admin.site.site_header = 'MY_SITE_HEADER'
admin.site.site_title = 'MY_SITE_TITLE'
The above method works in latest version of django i.e.1.11.3 till date.
You can make changes to parts of the admin by providing a template in an admin subdir of your templates directory to override what is provided by admin.
In this case, you'd want to provide a base_site.html template. You can see what the default one looks like here: https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/django/contrib/admin/templates/admin/base_site.html

enable a model on Django Admin on Dreamhost

Hi I've created a new app (Paginas) but I cannot see inside the admin page. I've added 'paginas' to INSTALLED_APP. My admin.py is
# coding=utf-8
from django.contrib import admin
from .models import Pagina
class PaginaAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
prepopulated_fields = {"slug": ("titulo",)}
list_display = ('titulo' , 'contenido')
class Media:
js = ('/layout/grappelli/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/tiny_mce.js','/layout/grappelli/tinymce_setup/tinymce_setup.js')
admin.site.register(Pagina,PaginaAdmin)
I am using passenger_wsgi.py file, I've touched tmp/restart.txt file, I've killed python process
I don't know what else can I do
The project you can see it on github https://github.com/totechess/paralisis_cerebral
What kind of error do you get when you go to your site yoursite.com/admin/
Did you add admin to INSTALLED_APPS? Note the S
....
'django.contrib.admin',
....
Perhaps your urls.py are not updated properly? What is the error?
