Django custom view into admin page

Question

I have created a custom view.

How can I insert the view into the admin?

For a normal admin class, we can just simply register it to the admin site:

class ListAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):    ...  admin.site.register(List, ListAdmin) 

I tried to override get_url in admin.py, question_list is the view:

class ListAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):     def list_view(self, request):         return question_list(request)      def get_urls(self):         urls = super(ListAdmin, self).get_urls()         list_urls = patterns('', r'^list/$', self.list_view())          return list_urls + urls  admin.site.register(question_list, ListAdmin) 

This is the question_list view:

def question_list(request):     #questions = Question.objects.filter(topic__icontains = 1)     questions = Question.objects.all()     return render_to_response('admin/question_list.html', {'questions':questions}) question_list = staff_member_required(question_list) 

I get 'function' object is not iterable error.

Thanks.

Based on the information you provided you should check this part of Django's documentation:

Adding views to admin sites (note: the link is valid for version 1.5 since version 1.3 is not supported anymore - the solution is still valid).

Then you could check this blog post and this question for some further inspiration and details.

Based on your example I really don't get why you just don't use a regular ModelAdmin with some filtering options:

class QuestionAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):     list_filter = ('topic',)
