Project Customizations

1. App Configuration in apps.py

You can configure app-specific settings in the apps.py file for each application within your Django project. Below is an example of how to customize the Polls app:

class PollsConfig(AppConfig):
    name = 'polls'  # The name of the app
    icon = 'fa fa-square-poll-vertical'  # FontAwesome icon for the app (optional)
    divider_title = "Apps"  # Title of the section divider in the sidebar (optional)
    priority = 0  # Determines the order of the app in the sidebar (higher values appear first, optional)
    hide = False  # Set to True to hide the app from the sidebar menu (optional)

Explanation:

• name: The name of the app.
• icon: An optional FontAwesome icon to display next to the app name in the sidebar.
• divider_title: The title for the section divider, grouping similar apps together (optional).
• priority: An optional setting that controls the order of apps in the sidebar; higher values appear at the top.
• hide: If set to True, the app will be hidden from the sidebar menu.

2. Global Customizations in settings.py

You can define various project-wide settings for customizing the Django admin interface in your settings.py file using the DAISY_SETTINGS dictionary. Below is an example configuration:

DAISY_SETTINGS = {
    'SITE_TITLE': 'Django Admin',  # The title of the site 
    'SITE_HEADER': 'Administration',  # Header text displayed in the admin panel
    'INDEX_TITLE': 'Hi, welcome to your dashboard',  # The title for the index page of dashboard
    'SITE_LOGO': '/static/admin/img/daisyui-logomark.svg',  # Path to the logo image displayed in the sidebar
    'EXTRA_STYLES': [],  # List of extra stylesheets to be loaded in base.html (optional)
    'EXTRA_SCRIPTS': [],  # List of extra script URLs to be loaded in base.html (optional)
    'LOAD_FULL_STYLES': False,  # If True, loads full DaisyUI components in the admin (useful if you have custom template overrides)
    'SHOW_CHANGELIST_FILTER': False,  # If True, the filter sidebar will open by default on changelist views
    'DONT_SUPPORT_ME': False, # Hide github link in sidebar footer
    'SIDEBAR_FOOTNOTE': '', # add footnote to sidebar
    'APPS_REORDER': {
        # Custom configurations for third-party apps that can't be modified directly in their `apps.py`
        'auth': {
            'icon': 'fa-solid fa-person-military-pointing',  # FontAwesome icon for the 'auth' app
            'name': 'Authentication',  # Custom name for the 'auth' app
            'hide': False,  # Whether to hide the 'auth' app from the sidebar (set to True to hide)
            'divider_title': "Auth",  # Divider title for the 'auth' section
        },
        'social_django': {
            'icon': 'fa-solid fa-users-gear',  # Custom FontAwesome icon for the 'social_django' app
        },
    },
}

Explanation:

• SITE_TITLE: Sets the title of your site (visible in the browser tab).
• SITE_HEADER: The header displayed at the top of the Django admin interface.
• INDEX_TITLE: The title shown on the dashboard page of the admin panel.
• SITE_LOGO: Specifies the path to a logo image that appears in the sidebar.
• EXTRA_STYLES: A list of additional CSS files to be loaded into the admin interface (useful for custom styling).
• EXTRA_SCRIPTS: A list of additional JavaScript files to be loaded into the admin interface.
• LOAD_FULL_STYLES: If set to True, loads the full DaisyUI library for styling, which can be useful if you have overridden the admin templates.
• SHOW_CHANGELIST_FILTER: Controls whether the changelist filter sidebar is shown by default.
• DONT_SUPPORT_ME: Hide github link in sidebar footer.
• SIDEBAR_FOOTNOTE: Add footnote to sidebar.

Using Tabbed Inline Admin

To create a tabbed inline admin interface in your Django project, follow these steps:

1. Import the necessary modules: import NavTabMixin in your admin.py file:

   from django_daisy.mixins import NavTabMixin
   

2. Extend NavTabMixin in your InlineAdmin class: Create your inline admin class by extending NavTabMixin along with admin.TabularInline or admin.StackedInline for a different layout:

   class ChoiceInline(admin.TabularInline, NavTabMixin):  # or admin.StackedInline for a different layout
       model = Choice
       extra = 1
   

3. Register your inline admin class: Use the inline admin class in your ModelAdmin class:

   @admin.register(Poll)
   class PollAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
       inlines = [ChoiceInline]
   

🌐 Enabling Language Change in Admin Panel

To enable language switching directly from the admin panel, follow these steps:

1. Include Django's set_language URL
   Add the following line to your urls.py file:

   urlpatterns = [
       ...,
       path("i18n/", include("django.conf.urls.i18n")),  # Add this line
   ]
   

2. Ensure LocaleMiddleware is Enabled
   Confirm that the following middleware is included in your MIDDLEWARE settings:

   MIDDLEWARE = [
       ...,
       'django.middleware.locale.LocaleMiddleware',
       ...
   ]
   

3. Define Supported Language
   Specify the languages your application supports in settings.py:

   LANGUAGES = [
       ('en', 'English'),
       ('fa', 'Farsi'),
       # Add other languages as needed
   ]
