    <p>Since custom admin views are basically just normal views there aren't many specialities. A few things you should consider for a cleaner integration:</p> <ul> <li>Add the url pattern through <a href="https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/ref/contrib/admin/#adding-views-to-admin-sites" rel="nofollow">get_urls()</a> of the <code>AdminSite</code>.</li> <li>Provide the <code>current_app</code> argument to <code>RequestContext</code> or <code>Context</code> when rendering a template which subclasses admin templates.</li> </ul> <p><strong>EDIT</strong>:</p> <p>Found a an example here: <a href="http://shrenikp.webs.com/apps/blog/show/5211522-add-custom-view-method-for-django-admin-model-" rel="nofollow">http://shrenikp.webs.com/apps/blog/show/5211522-add-custom-view-method-for-django-admin-model-</a></p> <p>Note, that the example doesn't utilize the <code>current_app</code> argument i've mentioned. I suppose your view to generate the PDF just returns a <code>HttpResponse</code> with the appropriate content type rather than rendering a response with a <code>Context</code>, so it's not needed. All in all the <code>current_app</code> only makes sense when you subclass an admin template used by your custom view which actually makes use of <code>current_app</code> somewhere.</p> <p>The example encapsulates the urls and view in a <code>ModelAdmin</code>. It is also possible to do this through a <code>AdminSite</code> subclass, but at least in your use case this is probably overkill.</p> <p>By the way, overriding the <code>change_form.html</code> template for your app to add a button to the standard change view is just fine. There is no special api for this in the admin (unfortunately).</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
