return render_to_response('admin/custom_change_form.html')#my template location

my model and admin files are simple

Answer 1

Yes .

Answer 2

To send to a file directly, use direct_to_template(). You can pass anything in the url that you like - just give the information to your template, and write it in the url. After all, Django doesn't require url helpers.

I sense that whatever you're trying to do is some god-awful hackish thing that would be much better served by doing it all in Django.

Answer 3

You will need to override your change form for that model and display whatever you would like. But that is making the assumption you are talking about the contrib admin within Django.

Realistically you have not provided sufficient information for anyone to accurately answer your question.
