in the Django administration console, all section (menu links) come from models with database tables, but what would I need to do if I need a section without a corresponding model object (no database table) that fetches data from other section with model?
Any ideas? Thanks
It looks like you want to add new admin urls with your own customized views and template: django.contrib.admin.ModelAdmin.get_urls
You can construct those new admins without a new model this way.
I did it with Proxy Models....

I am new to Django.
I am going to build simple register and login fullstack application by using React and Django.
My problem is when I received register request with form data.
Is it ok to create custom table for users?
I am going to create another table related to user table.
So in that case, there must be id in the users.
That's why I am going to create custom table.
Please help me it is good practice.
You can abstract from AbstractBaseUser and then you can customise the user model and to specify it in your settings file.
Please see the django documentation here:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.1/topics/auth/customizing/#substituting-a-custom-user-model
In Django you can link between multiple table by different relationships depends on what you want like:
OneToOne
ForeignKey
ManyToMany
And by default when you create a model django create a pk field it is ID for table, you can make another field as a primary key for model
When you use one of those relationships django by default use model id to link between them
and you can also create a custom user model to use it
Good luck
What I wanted should be the so-called bulk-operations, i.e. on Django admin, for a Django model there could be many objects created, and we can select multiple of them and delete.
However, when I registered Django models in Wagtail, the Wagtail admin doesn't show anything similar to Django bulk operations.
And I searched for a while, looks like bulk operations are not supported in Wagtail admin?
Any other alternative we could use for Wagtail?
As of Wagtail 2.9, I don't think it's possible to bulk select pages, but you can do so with snippets.
You can submit a feature request regarding bulk selections in page lists on GitHub, but search first if such a request already exists before creating a new one.
I am trying to Edit Users Table in Django. I am using Users Table to login or register a users. I have to add a new field name Role in that Table but i can't find any option to edit that existing table in admin section.
i just try to field some files to field out where the code of that existing Table is but did't get it.
is there any way to Edit the Table or I have to Create a New Table and have to create a new method of registration.
i am not expert so it's hard to me understand things.
Well first, the Django admin interface it's just for performing CRUD operations over already existing models, you are not able to change in any way the database tables (at lest not using the "out of the box features") using the admin interface.
Said that in order to do what you want to do, with any model (not just User), you should:
Add the field to the model.
Instruct the admin interface to list this fields along the others.
Now the user model is kind of a special model here so I'll recommend a couple of readings you should complete before go forward with the model User customization.
References (User customization): Substituting a custom User model, Extending the User model.
And for the admin interface ...
Reference (admin interface): ModelAdmin options, special attention here to list_display
I'm new using Mezzanine and figured out how to set-up pages where I can manage content from Admin page.
But I have static pages, where I want to store some content and being able to control that content from Admin page.
Is this something I can do with Mezzanine?
I imagine that I need to create a model with richtext field add that model to admin interface and than somehow access to that model through templatage.
But any exact example would greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
See the docs on creating custom content types. The primary approach is to subclass the Page model and add your custom fields.
Alternatively, if your custom content is conceptually independent from your pages, it might make sense to create independent models with relational fields to the RichTextPage model and edit them through inlines.
Note that the mezzanine docs on custom content types and the django docs on inlines use the same author/book example so you can easily compare the two strategies.
I am trying to make an overview page for one of my models I have read through all of http://www.djangobook.com/en/1.0/.chapter17/ and understand how I can add my own custom views for a model to the django admin.
What I am currently trying to do is add multiple filtered change lists (presenting some child models) onto my "overview" page for the model. In these I would like to be able to make use of some of the admin features such as editable fields or actions.
Does anyone have some pointers on how I can best get started with this.

He created a proxy model for the original model to avoid the conflict. You can create a new model admin or inherit the old ModelAdmin(as shown in the link)
