Quickstart
Install the Django App via GitHub for now. Working on getting on Pypi soon.
python -m pip install django-adminlte2-pdq
Add “adminlte2_pdq” to your INSTALLED_APPS setting like this:
INSTALLED_APPS = [ 'adminlte2_pdq', ... ]
Important
The adminlte2_pdq app should be listed before any Django apps so that template overriding works correctly. Additionally, if you plan to override any Django-AdminLTE2-PDQ templates, they should be listed above the adminlte2_pdq app.
Django-AdminLTE2-PDQ provides a middleware that is required for some of the available authentication and authorization scenarios from this package to function.
Add this middleware to your middleware list in
settings.py
.Once installed the available scenarios are controlled by changing settings in your
settings.py
file. For more information about the various scenarios and associated settings refer to the Authentication and Authorization section.MIDDLEWARE = [ ... 'adminlte2_pdq.middleware.AuthMiddleware', ]
Note
Django-AdminLTE2-PDQ has been configured out of the box to get you set up and running as fast as possible. As a result, the settings surrounding authentication and authorization are not as strict as they could be. We strongly encourage you to read the section on Authentication and Authorization once you get the basics of this package working.
Django-AdminLTE2-PDQ provides templates for Django’s account routes and some sample routes. Add the routes to your URLconf if you want to use them.
from django.contrib import admin from django.urls import include urlpatterns = [ # Adminlte2 default routes for demo purposes path('', include('adminlte2_pdq.urls')), # Django Account Routes - Styled in AdminLTE2 path('accounts/', include('django.contrib.auth.urls')), # Admin - Styled in Django but hosted in AdminLTE2 layout path('admin/', admin.site.urls), ]
Ensure that the login redirect will work.
LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL = 'adminlte2_pdq:home'
Note
Django-AdminLTE2-PDQ does not include a route or templates for
/accounts/profile
which is the default Django Login redirect. Adding the above entry to yoursettings.py
file will allow successful logins to redirect to the sample home page included in Django-AdminLTE2-PDQ until a proper profile route is set up.Update
settings.py
to customize the look and feel of Django-AdminLTE2-PDQ.See the Configuration pages for more information.
Override templates to further customize the look and feel of Django-AdminLTE2-PDQ.
