Group models from different app/object into one Admin block

Question

Is it possible to group models from different apps into 1 admin block?

For example, my structure is

project/
  review/
    models.py -  class Review(models.Model):
  followers/
    models.py -  class Followers(models.Model):
    admin.py 

In followers/admin.py, I call

 admin.site.register(Followers)
 admin.site.register(Review)

This is to group them inside 1 admin block for administrators to find things easily.

I tried that, but Review model isn't showing up inside Followers admin block and I couldn't find documentation about this.

Answer 1

Django Admin groups Models to admin block by their apps which is defined by Model._meta.app_label. Thus registering Review in followers/admin.py still gets it to app review.

So make a proxy model of Review and put it in the 'review' app

class ProxyReview(Review):     class Meta:         proxy = True             # If you're define ProxyReview inside review/models.py,         #  its app_label is set to 'review' automatically.         # Or else comment out following line to specify it explicitly                        # app_label = 'review'          # set following lines to display ProxyReview as Review         # verbose_name = Review._meta.verbose_name         # verbose_name_plural = Review._meta.verbose_name_plural   # in admin.py admin.site.register(ProxyReview) 

Also, you could put Followers and Review to same app or set same app_label for them.

Customize admin view or use 3rd-part dashboard may achieve the goal also.
