Customising Django Admin Interface

In Django Admin, in the changelist view there is a Add <model_name> button at the top right hand corner.

Does anyone have any idea how to change the default text in that button?

UPDATE

I want to change the w开发者_运维技巧ord Add to something else

The changelist view renders the change_list.html file in django/contrib/admin/templates/admin directory.

Specifically, the snippet that you want to modify is

{% block content %}
  <div id="content-main">
    {% block object-tools %}
      {% if has_add_permission %}
        <ul class="object-tools">
          {% block object-tools-items %}
            <li>
              <a href="add/{% if is_popup %}?_popup=1{% endif %}" class="addlink">
                {% blocktrans with cl.opts.verbose_name as name %}Add {{ name }}{% endblocktrans %}
              </a>
            </li>
          {% endblock %}
        </ul>
      {% endif %}
    {% endblock %}

So the bad news is that your "Add" user interface string as you can see is hardcoded.

The good news is, you can still override it by creating your own change_list.html template in your own project templates/admin/ directory. The specifics are explained here in django docs:- https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/admin/#overriding-admin-templates

and specifically in your case, it is simply to override the object-tools block on your own change_list.html file.

You will need to update your Django admin templates. The template you're looking for is django/contrib/admin/templates/admin/change_list.html. Look for addlink, the line below that should be the word to change.

that's the name for your model.

Django use model's class name by default, but you can change it by Meta.verbose_name

class MyModel(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField()
    class Meta:
        verbose_name = u"a_new_name"
