POMultiple ModelAdmins/views for same model in Django admin

copied!<p>How can I create more than one ModelAdmin for the same model, each customised differently and linked to different URLs?</p> <p>Let's say I have a Django model called Posts. By default, the admin view of this model will list all Post objects.</p> <p>I know I can customise the list of objects displayed on the page in various ways by setting variables like list_display or overriding the <code>queryset</code> method in my ModelAdmin like so:</p> <pre><code>class MyPostAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin): list_display = ('title', 'pub_date') def queryset(self, request): request_user = request.user return Post.objects.filter(author=request_user) admin.site.register(MyPostAdmin, Post) </code></pre> <p>By default, this would be accessible at the URL <code>/admin/myapp/post</code>. However I would like to have multiple views/ModelAdmins of the same model. e.g <code>/admin/myapp/post</code> would list all post objects, and <code>/admin/myapp/myposts</code> would list all posts belonging to the user, and <code>/admin/myapp/draftpost</code> might list all posts that have not yet been published. (these are just examples, my actual use-case is more complex)</p> <p>You cannot register more than one ModelAdmin for the same model (this results in an <code>AlreadyRegistered</code> exception). Ideally I'd like to achieve this <strong>without</strong> putting everything into a single ModelAdmin class and writing my own 'urls' function to return a different queryset depending on the URL.</p> <p>I've had a look at the Django source and I see functions like <code>ModelAdmin.changelist_view</code> that could be somehow included in my urls.py, but I'm not sure exactly how that would work.</p> <p><strong>Update</strong>: I've found one way of doing what I want (see below), but I'd still like to hear other ways of doing this.</p>
