Answer 1

You can create your own custom admin form by inheriting PeriodicTaskAdmin and overwriting methods / properties:

from django.contrib import admin

from djcelery.admin import PeriodicTaskAdmin as BasePeriodicTaskAdmin
from djcelery.models import PeriodicTask

class PeriodicTaskAdmin(BasePeriodicTaskAdmin):
    # Your code here


if PeriodicTask in admin.site._registry:
    admin.site.unregister(PeriodicTask)
admin.site.register(PeriodicTask, PeriodicTaskAdmin)

You can find source code for PeriodicTaskAdmin on Github.
