django: how to add home link to admin

问题:

I would like to add a link to / to every page in template. Can I do it without changing django internal template? I could customize django, but this is something I seriously wouldn't like to do.

回答1:

Sure, just override one of the Django admin templates in your own templates/admin directory. For instance, copy the contents of django/contrib/admin/templates/base.html into yourproject/templates/admin/base.html. Then, change the latter to your heart's content.

See: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/admin/#overriding-admin-templates

According to the accepted answer, I still failed to make it. After some try-error experiments, my answer is:

1. copy django/contrib/admin/templates/base_site.html to as your_project/templates/admin/base_site.html

2. customize your local base_site.html to whatever you want

3. add to your settings.py

   TEMPLATE_DIRS = ('templates',)
