In this course, you will learn the basics of the Django Admin interface, a great tool to build a powerful admin interface quickly for your Django project. 

First, you will learn how to automatically generate the admin interface for your Django models, how to populate fake data, and then search or filter data with some advice to improve performance. 

Next, you will see how to extend the functionalities of the admin interface such as adding custom fields, add intermediate pages, or creating custom actions like exporting data in CSV format.

After that, you will also explore basic and advanced UI customization such as adding charts or modifying the index page.Finally, you will have a look at the Django admin rights permission management.

The Django Admin for Web Developers

## Adding a view to index.html

Now to complete the Advance Customisation lesson you will proceed to add a new view to your `my_index.html` file.

Consider the case where you would like to link a new view with the text "My custom view" on your main Django page. To do this, you will modify your `my_index.html` file and add this item.

```html
<div class="col-lg-6">
   <div class="card-header py-3 card shadow mb-4 border border-primary">
      <a href="/admin/my_view">My custom view </a>
   </div>
   {% include "admin/app_list.html" with app_list=app_list show_changelinks=True %}
</div>
```
Now, you will modify your admin to deal with this view.

You will need to declare this new URL `/admin/my_view`. To do so you can override the `get_urls` method of the admin

```python
class MyUltimateAdminSite(AdminSite):
    site_header = 'My Django Admin Ultimate Guide'
    site_title = 'My Django Admin Ultimate Guide Administration'
    index_title = 'Welcome to sample_app'
    index_templacate = 'sample_app/templates/admin/my_index.html'
    login_template = 'sample_app/templates/admin/login.html'

	def get_urls(self):
		urls = super(MyUltimateAdminSite, self).get_urls()
		custom_urls = [
		    path('my_view/', self.admin_view(self.my_view), name="my_view"),
		]
		return custom_urls + urls
```
Then you will write the code for your new view.

```python
def my_view(self, request):
	# your business code
	context = dict(
		self.each_context(request),
		welcome="Welcome to my new view",
	)
	return TemplateResponse(request, "admin/sample_app/custom_view.html", context)
```
In this view, you can do your business logic, add your results (if any) to the context, and return the template of your page. The content of the HTML file for the new `custom_view.html` page will look something like this:

```html
{% extends "admin/base_site.html" %}
{% block content %}
<div class="card" style="width: 18rem;">
<img src="..." class="card-img-top" alt="...">
<div class="card-body">
<h3 class="card-title"> {{welcome}} </h3>
<p class="card-text" >An example of a custom view.</p>
<a href="#" class="btn btn-primary" style="color:white">
	Go somewhere
</a>
</div>
```

The final results will look something like what can been seen below and if you click on "My custom view" then it will take you to the `custom_view.html` page.

    index_templacate = 'sample_app/templates/admin/my_index.html'
    login_template = 'sample_app/templates/admin/login.html'

	def get_urls(self):
		urls = super(MyUltimateAdminSite, self).get_urls()
		custom_urls = [
		    path('my_view/', self.admin_view(self.my_view), name="my_view"),
		]
		return custom_urls + urls
```
Then you will write the code for your new view.

```python
def my_view(self, request):
	# your business code
	context = dict(
		self.each_context(request),
		welcome="Welcome to my new view",
	)
	return TemplateResponse(request, "admin/sample_app/custom_view.html", context)
```

<div class="card-body">
<h3 class="card-title"> {{welcome}} </h3>
<p class="card-text" >An example of a custom view.</p>
<a href="#" class="btn btn-primary" style="color:white">
	Go somewhere
</a>
</div>
```
