Django admin page error

Question

I was creating a Django app. Doing so i enabled the Django admin site and i could see it working fine. Then i created some models and inserted data into it through the form in my app. But i am not able to see the entered values through admin panel of Django. I found that its because i havent included an admin.py file in my application folder. Then i created an admin.py file, ran syndb and tried. Now its throwing an error

ImportError at /admin/
No module named UniversityDetails.models

I will paste my admin.py, models.py and project folder structure. Please help me to solve this.

Models.py

from django.db import models

class UniversityDetails(models.Model):
    firstName = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    lastName = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    email = models.EmailField()
    password = models.TextField()
    birthday = models.TextField()
    sex = models.CharField(max_length=10)

admin.py

from universityDetails.models import *
from django.contrib import admin

admin.site.register(UniversityDetails)

Project Name :universityDB
Application Name : universityDetails

Answer 1

Use the following :

from models import *

and put your admin.py file in your model folder

Answer 2

It sounds like UniversityDetails isn't in your python path, have you added it yet?

Answer 3

try

from universityDB.universityDetails.models import *
from django.contrib import admin

class UniversityDetailsAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    fields = ['firstName ', 'lastName ']
    list_display = ('firstName ', 'lastName ')    
    search_fields = ['firstName ', 'lastName ']

admin.site.register(UniversityDetails,UniversityDetailsAdmin)

Answer 4

try turning managed = false in the model name (delete the managed = false in meta of model class)

Answer 5

The typical django setup puts the project's parent directory on the Python Path, meaning your models are resolved via MyProject.MyApp.models

If you can import universityDB (you would need to or you'd have more / different problems), you should change line 1 of your admin.py to from universityDB.universityDetails.models import * and you should be set.
