Pushing The Pony's Boundaries - Django Admin Customization

on YouTube ↗29m

" summary

Shows concrete hacks and real results: uses Django Suit, Grappelli and Django Admin Tools and demonstrates changing admin behavior with methods like get_queryset and get_form. Implements object‑level permissions so local organizers only see their pages for 70 events on DjangoGirls.org, uses get_readonly_fields to freeze past events, adds computed columns and images in list_display, and creates custom actions (publish to homepage). Code examples run in production and the customizations work without rewriting the entire app.
