Improve flexibility of admin.autodiscover for custom admin sites

[Manuel Saelices]

admin.autodiscover is great, but you cannot customize admin sites. It would be wonderful that you can call autodiscover with a optional site parameter, like this:

# urls.py

from django.contrib import admin

from yourproject.admin import custom_admin_site

admin.autodiscover(site=custom_admin_site)

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    ...
    ('^admin/(.*)', custom_admin_site.root),

I will attach a patch that implement that feature, without backwards incompatibility

I've missing to modify django.contrib.sites.admin

I'm +1 on this. At the moment I'm using an ugly workaround to achieve the same thing:

admin.autodiscover()
custom_admin_site = admin.site

This is a duplicate of #8500. I think this approach is better, but it is best to keep this all in one place.

[Manuel Saelices]

@brosner, this approach is #8500 aproach or #8572 one?

[Manuel Saelices]

I think this ticket approach permit you to define two custom sites and call admin.autodiscover in a natural way:

admin.autodiscover(site1)
admin.autodiscover(site2)

@brosner, sorry I didn't see ​your comment at #8500. You referred that this patch maybe would be better.
