Just installed this package, and I get the above error.

Seems that I cannot use {% extends "admin:admin/index.html" %} within the templates.

Any thoughts?

When I modify settings.py and urls.py according to http://django-admin-tools.readthedocs.org/en/latest/quickstart.html and locate url , it was always raising 404 to me.

Do you have any idea about this problem?

I see there have been a couple fixes for django >= 1.11 but the version number is still at 0.8.1 so the only way to update is to install from git - which is a huge no-no for production code. Is there any new release planned ?

• Added a custom template loader (based on django-apptemplates) that allows us to extends admin templates instead of overriding them
• Updated docs and tests
• added checks in init.py to inform the users of configuration errors
• added django dependency in setup.py
• added a requirements file

• Drops support for versions before 1.11
• Adds Django 2.1,2.2 and Python 3.7 to tox/travis
• Fixes tests and deprecations (fixes #88)
• Fixes CSS for Django 2.2 (fixes #92)

Releasing a new version is quite urgent as v0.5.2 is not compatible with django 1.8 (and has issues with 1.7 as well).

On the top of my head, here are the things that block the release:

• ensure manually that all is working with django 1.7 and 1.8 (unit tests aren't enough)
• update docs ! and emphasize the fact we no longer support django < 1.7
• build a release note (and emphasize... see above)
• release away ;)

Any takers on the tasks above (I have not enough free time to do it right atm... except for the last point ;)) ?

I think we should version this release as 0.6.0 and, hopefully, next release will be a stable one (1.0.0).

At the moment DAT supports django 1.3 to django 1.7, to ease development and clean up things we should decide what minimum versions the next release should support.

Personally I would vote for django >= 1.7 (mainly because of the new migration system) and python 2.7 or python 3.

Older projects can still use DAT 0.5.2.

What do you think ?

I'm trying to use django-admin-tools as instructed here:

http://django-admin-tools.readthedocs.org/en/latest/configuration.html

I get this:

When I remove APP_DIRS = True I get:

There are small typos in:

• admin_tools/utils.py

Fixes:

• Should read believe rather than beleive.
• Should read algorithm rather than algorythm.

Is there a way to customize the sidebar of Django's admin with this package? I'm particularly interested in excluding some of the apps from the sidebar.

We have to manage user administration for our custom application. For this we have already written REST API services. We want to use django-admin-tools user administration features by calling our REST API services instead of using direct DB transactions.

So, we want to do, 1. Login to Django Admin with super user as Django normal feature, super user be saved in DB as normal. 2. Django normal features and UI template of User Administration. 3. User management be done by calling our REST API services to do CRUD operations instead of direct DB operations.

Is it possible to customize the django-admin-tools accordingly ? Please suggest, in case of any way around.
