Re: Changing the AdminSite instance (and class) to use BEFORE the autodiscover runs

I would like to create a custom AdminSite instance, using a custom subclass of my own, and provide some project-level urls for the AdminSite. However, I would like to still benefit from the autodiscover feature.

Is there a way I can instance a custom AdminSite subclass, and have that instance reachable as `admin.site` import path? This means, the following line:

from django.contrib.admin import site

returning my custom AdminSite instance, if I want to override it. In this way, installed apps register their model admins against my custom AdminSite instance. For this to work, I want this to be executed before the autodiscover process is run in the app registry.

How can I do it?

You can use django.contrib.admin.apps.SimpleAdminConfig and call autodiscover yourself.

In your settings

INSTALLED_APPS = [

    ...

    "django.contrib.admin.apps.SimpleAdminConfig",

    ...

    "myproject.apps.Config",

    ...

]

and in myproject/apps.py

from django.apps import AppConfig

from django.utils.translation import ugettext_lazy as _

class Config(AppConfig):

    name = "myproject"

    verbose_name = _("My Project")

    def ready(self):

        super(Config, self).ready()

        from django.contrib import admin

        from myproject.admin.sites import site

        admin.site = site

        admin.autodiscover()
