Django Admin: show multiple apps together in one section?

I'm working on a Django API for a webshop, and I organized the models and views into different apps: one for orders, one for baskets, one for products, and one for offers. Now I want to add these models to the admin site, but I don't want it to show up as four different sections each with one model to manage. Instead I want a new "Shop" section where I show the models for all these apps.

So instead of this:

I want both models in one common section. Is this possible?

I tried setting the same verbose name in both app's apps.py file, but that just results in two sections with the same name:

Solution

  • You can use django-modeladmin-reorder [PyPI] for this. You can configure this with the ADMIN_REORDER setting:

    # settings.py

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    # …,
    'admin_reorder',
    # …
)

# …

MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (
    # …,
    'admin_reorder.middleware.ModelAdminReorder',
    # …
)

# …

ADMIN_REORDER = (
    {'label': 'product', 'models': ('product.Product', 'order.Order')},
)
