Description

Background: for worklows working alternately with the Django Admin and the normal site, the "View on site" link displayed when changing an object in the admin is a very convenient way to get back to the site.

Suggestion: add two additional "View on site" links which will take you back to a view of all instances of a model and back to an overview of an entire application.

If this sounds like an interesting feature I am happy to (try to ...) create a patch.

Summary: Admin: add "View on site" links to generic common model URL and also to common url for APPAdd "View on site" links to generic common model URL and also to common url for app.

Thanks for this patch :+1: however Django Admin is not a universal tool for building an app and adding a new option to the ModelAdmin is always controversial (we already have many of them). Please first start a discussion on the DevelopersMailingList, where you'll reach a wider audience, and follow the guidelines with regards to requesting features.

Also, it's already possible to add a second link by overriding the "object-tools-items" block in the "change_form.html" admin template.
