    112 
    113 In this example, we register both {{{Author}}} and {{{Book}}} with the {{{AdminSite}}} instance {{{django.contrib.admin.site}}}. {{{Author}}} doesn't need any custom admin options, so we just call {{{admin.site.register(Author)}}}. {{{Book}}}, on the other hand, has some custom admin options, so we define a {{{BookOptions}}} class and pass that class as a second argument to {{{admin.site.register()}}}.

    115115In this example, the admin options still live in the {{{models.py}}} file. But there's nothing that requires them to do so. The only requirement is that the {{{register()}}} calls are executed at some point, and putting them in the {{{models.py}}} is an easy way to ensure that. We'll likely come up with a nice convention for this.[[BR]]
     
    117117'''A proposal convention''': Specifying all admin options in a file called {{{admin.py}}}, and import it in the {{{__init__.py}}} file of your application module to do the registering during the initialization.

    119 You'll notice the {{{BookOptions}}} class looks a lot like the old-style {{{class Admin}}}. Almost all of the old {{{class Admin}}} options work exactly the same, with one or two exceptions. (For the options that have changed, we've made them '''much''' more powerful.) In addition to the classic options such as {{{list_display}}} and {{{ordering}}}, the {{{ModelAdmin}}} class introduces a wealth of extra hooks you can use to customize the admin site for that particular model. For example:
    120 
    121 {{{
    122 #!python
    123 
    124 class BookOptions(admin.ModelAdmin):

    149149=== Changed Admin.manager option to more flexible hook ===
    150150
    151 As of [4342], the {{{manager}}} option to {{{class Admin}}} no longer exists. This option was undocumented, but we're mentioning the change here in case you used it. In favor of this option, {{{class Admin}}} may now define one of these methods:
    152 
    153   * {{{queryset()}}}
    154   * {{{queryset_add()}}}
    155   * {{{queryset_change()}}}
    156 
    157 These give you much more flexibility.
    158 
    159 (We initially called the new method {{{change_list_queryset}}}, but this was changed in [4584] to be more flexible.)
