This series focuses on the Customisation, Hooks, Features, Functions, Adaptions that can be performed in the Django Admin Site.

[SeanOConnor]

Great work Zander. It would be great to see how you would approach a wiki where users can suggest updates which an editor would need to approve before they would be pushed to live.

[avaricefalls]

This was really helpful. These methods should only return True or False.

I'm just wondering can you for example in the (post group - add/delete/change/view are true ) limit a certain users permission to only delete a post while he is a member of that group or do you have to give him a custom permission and take him out of the group
.
.
so for more clarification is it possible to make a group of post editors with members who have different permissions to the post object
for example : Post Group -> user1 (can only change posts), user2 ( can change and delete posts)...

as staff user, Instead of changing post, what if we change user but I don't want staff user to change other user permission or making himself superuser(only change name field) how do we do that ?

[amidamarurookie]

hi, does it work with a completely brand-new template? I mean this override feature can work outside django admin? because Im replicating the django user, group & permissions in my own template, not default admin dashboard.

is there a way to link custom admin site in HTML with a button? I tried using {{ url 'name' }} but it does not work and saw online to use {{ url 'admin:index' }} but I still need my main admin page as well..
