Reverse custom django Admin Site urls?

Question

Is there a way to reverse URLs added to a custom django AdminSite, for example

class MyAdminSite(AdminSite):
    def get_urls(self):
        urls = super(MyAdminSite, self).get_urls()
        my_urls = patterns('',
            url(r'some_view/$',self.admin_view( SomeView.as_view()), name='some_view' ),
        )
        return my_urls + url

myadmin = MyAdminSite(app_name='my_admin')


url(r'^admin/', include(my_admin.urls)),

How do i reverse some_view

Answer 1

Try: {% url admin:some_view %}

Answer 2

alternatively, if you've defined a name for your admin site like so:

class ExplorerAdmin(admin.AdminSite):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super(ExplorerAdmin, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self.name = 'explorer_admin'
        self.app_name = 'rql'

    def get_urls(self):
        parent_patterns = super(RQLExplorerAdmin, self).get_urls()
        dashboard_patterns = [
            url(r'^$', admin.site.admin_view(TemplateView.as_view(template_name='explorer.html')), name="explorer")
        ]
        return dashboard_patterns + parent_patterns

reversing the url would be done by applying namespacing using your custom sites' name, like so:

reverse('explorer_admin:explorer')
