Description

To change the prominent visual welcome in admin/base.html div user-tools, one must copy the entire admin/base.html template and modify just one line. A block containing this welcome i.e. block userwelcome would be useful for customization.

Summary: admin/base.html needs block userwelcome for customization without copying[Improvement] Easier way to overwite the admin welcome message

I agree on that, but according to 1.0 policy I think that it will be postponed after Django 1.0 is released.

Changing summary to clarify that this is an improvement.

I second this. There are languages that use different form for vocative, thus "Welcome, Vlada" is incorrect. I think this form could fit to the majority:

    {% trans 'User: ' %}
    {% if user.first_name %}<strong>{{ user.first_name }} {{ user.last_name }}</strong>
    {% else %}{{ user.username }}{% endif %}.

It does not matter how to reach it, but currently AFAIK the only way is to override entire admin/base.html, which is complex.

If this applies to your language to, please vote for this.

I'll attach a patch to make it possible to override the default welcome message.

Thus, one could do:

{% extends '/path/to/default/admin/templates/admin/base.html' %}

{% block welcome-msg %}
<strong>{% firstof user.first_name user.username %}</strong>, {% trans 'welcome!' %}
{% endblock %}

That said, I'm not against the "re-phrasing" of the message.

Changing to unreviewed as there seems to be no comments by others [in a while, and based on the new version].

@kamu - Unreviewed means that nobody has looked at the ticket. Several people *have* looked at this ticket, so it has been accepted.

If you want to know more about the Trac ticket states, see the documentation on contributing.
