@ -267,6 +267,23 @@ If you're sure your username and password are correct, make sure your user
account has ``is_active`` and ``is_staff`` set to True. The admin site only
allows access to users with those two fields both set to True.
How can I customize the functionality of the admin interface?
-------------------------------------------------------------
You've got several options. If you want to piggyback on top of an add/change
form that Django automatically generates, you can attach arbitrary JavaScript
modules to the page via the model's ``admin.js`` parameter. That parameter is
a list of URLs, as strings, pointing to JavaScript modules that will be
included within the admin form via a <script> tag.
If you want more flexibility than simply tweaking the auto-generated forms,
feel free to write custom views for the admin. The admin is powered by Django
itself, and you can write custom views that hook into the authentication
system, check permissions and do whatever else they need to do.
If you want to customize the look-and-feel of the admin interface, read the
next question.
The dynamically-generated admin site is ugly! How can I change it?
