Description

It would be great to be able to replace the default adminsite in settings.

For example, all contrib apps assume you use the default adminsite.

Would also make it easier for contrib app to just "snap in" another site to add functionality to the admim.

Triage Stage: Unreviewed → Design decision needed

Marked #8572 as a duplicate. I think that approach might be better, but certainly a post-1.0 thing.

comment:4 by oyvind, 16 years ago

Agree that the patch #8572 is better

comment:5 by Alex Gaynor, 16 years ago

I'm not sure I understand the approach taken there, at present the admin.autodiscover() has no knowledge of the adminsite.

Hi, I usually override the default admin site with my custom version, then found this ticket, so I choose to complete it.

The first PR was using a new setting (ADMIN_SITE_CLASS), but I rewrote it to use a custom (Simple)AdminConfig and no new setting.

This version doesn't require to adapt current code with a 

def register(site):
    ...

as the last patch require, or rewriting code not to use django.contrib.admin.sites.site directly.
