    <p>I'm using Django 1.2.4 on Ubuntu 10.10. I'm trying to override the index.html template for the admin module. I've been following these <a href="http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/admin/#overriding-admin-templates" rel="nofollow noreferrer">instructions</a>. I also looked at this <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2993233/cannot-extend-django-1-2-1-admin-template">question</a>, but I'm still having difficulty.</p> <p>The instructions say to create an <code>admin</code> directory in the templates directory:</p> <pre><code>templates/ admin/ index.html </code></pre> <p>I want to override a single block in the <code>index.html</code>. (Really, all I want to do is append some text to the end. Is there an easier way than copy/pasting the entire block and changing it?) (<strong>Update</strong>: Looks like <code>{{block.super}}</code> may help.)</p> <p>To signal that I'm overriding, I put this at the top of my <code>index.html</code>:</p> <pre><code>{% extends "admin/index.html" %} </code></pre> <p>Of course, that results in a stack overflow (from the terminal):</p> <pre><code>Exception RuntimeError: 'maximum recursion depth exceeded in __subclasscheck__' in &lt;type 'exceptions.RuntimeError'&gt; ignored </code></pre> <p>What is the correct way to do this? I tried a symlink per an answer on the linked question, but that resulted in the following:</p> <pre><code>me@mycomp:~/foo$ sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/django/contrib/admin/templates/ django_admin [sudo] password for me: ln: creating symbolic link `django_admin': Protocol error </code></pre> <p>What am I doing wrong?</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.
