Looking for a book that focuses/greater detail about django admin app

Question

Hi, I been going through most of the django book at a local bookshop and everyone of them has a chapter or two about django admin and which barely touch the surface and mostly about skinning the app.

I wonder if there is any django books that focuses all aspects of django admin or goes much more deeper in detail about django admin app.

Thanks

Answer 1

Have you checked The Django Book, and its chapter about admin panel?

Answer 2

"The Definitive Guide to Django" has a chapter devoted to Django Admin (23 pages). Topics covered include "custom ModelAdmin classes", "customizing edit forms" and "Users, groups and permissions".

But I think the official documentation still remains the best source of information about Django Admin: official documentation about admin site, official documentation about admin actions.

You may also like "the Admin Site" chapter in the official Django Book. It is similar to the documentation, but may be a little easier to read (although, I would argue, the official documentation is pretty readable itself). On the other hand information in the book are less up to date.
