With all the easy Django utilities, tools, configs, settings, etc. is there REALLY no easy way to define the name of a custom App in Admin?

Question

How can I make LadyGagaApp into "Lady Gaga App" when displayed in Admin. Option #1 is to explain how to make this happen in the definition of the app, or in settings, or in init, etc. Option #2 is to point me to the admin template page where this can be overridden with an example.

Many thanks all.

Answer 1

MYYN is right, open the class "Meta" inside of your model, and set "verbose_name" to "Lady Gaga App."

Answer 2

This is not possible right now. There is a Django ticket open for this.

Answer 3

Answering second half of question...

Override the index.html admin template in django/contrib/admin/templates/admin by placing a copy of this file in an admin/ subdirectory of your templates folder.

Then find the following code (in a couple different places)...

{% blocktrans with app.name as name %}

and modify similar to the below...

{% blocktrans with 'Lady Gaga Web App' as name %}

Voila.

I think this may work:
