verbose name app in django admin interface

Question

In the Django administration Interface, we have our models grouped by app. Well, I known how to customize the model name:

class MyModel (models.Model):
  class Meta:
    verbose_name = 'My Model'
    verbose_name_plural = 'My Models'   

But I couldn't customize the app name. Is there any verbose_name for the apps ?

Answer 1

Since django 1.7 app_label does not work. You have to follow https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/ref/applications/#for-application-authors instructions. That is:

1. Create apps.py in your app's directory

2. Write verbose name :

   # myapp/apps.py
   
   from django.apps import AppConfig
   
   class MyAppConfig(AppConfig):
       name = 'myapp'
       verbose_name = "Rock ’n’ roll"
   

3. In the project's settings change INSTALLED_APPS :

   INSTALLED_APPS = [
       'myapp.apps.MyAppConfig',
       # ...
   ]
   

   Or, you can leave myapp.appsin INSTALLED_APPS and make your application load this AppConfig subclass by default as follows:

   # myapp/__init__.py
   
   default_app_config = 'myapp.apps.MyAppConfig'
   

alles :)
