How can I create custom page for django admin?

Question

I want to create custom page for admin panel without model. For first i copy index.html to project folder:

mysite/
    templates/
        admin/
                     


        

Answer 1

You need to add your admin URL before the URL patterns of the admin itself:

urlpatterns = patterns('',
   url(r'^admin/preferences/$', TemplateView.as_view(template_name='admin/preferences/preferences.html')),
   url(r'^admin/', include('django.contrib.admin.urls')),
)

This way the URL won't be processed by Django's admin.
