django-adminplus
Add new pages to the Django admin.
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you need to add non-model views to Django admin and your project uses Python 3.7–3.11. The package is stable, has no dependencies, and carries permissive licensing. However, dormant maintenance means you should verify compatibility with your specific Django version before relying on it for new projects; consider it suitable for established codebases where it's already proven.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Django and Python 3.7 or later; must replace django.contrib.admin.site before calling admin.autodiscover().
- Low install friction with no runtime dependencies.
- Maintenance is dormant—last release was 2023-12-05 and last commit 2024-01-27—but the repository remains active and the package supports current Python versions (3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 3.10, 3.11).

What it is and what it does
Django AdminPlus is a minimal extension to Django's admin interface that lets you register custom views without binding them to models. Instead of replacing the entire admin (as heavier packages do) or hijacking URLs, it provides a simple register_view method to attach arbitrary views to the admin namespace and display them in the admin dashboard.
You install it as a drop-in replacement for django.contrib.admin.site, add it to INSTALLED_APPS, and then use admin.site.register_view() to attach views—either as a function call or decorator. The package is fully backward-compatible with Django's built-in admin, so existing model registrations work unchanged. Views can have custom names, URL names for reversing, and conditional visibility.
Use it for
- Add a custom reporting or analytics dashboard page to the admin without creating a model.
- Create admin-only tools (e.g., data import/export, system status, bulk operations) accessible from the admin interface.
- Register a custom configuration or settings page in the admin that doesn't map to a database model.
- Build admin views for third-party integrations or external data sources without model overhead.
- Extend admin functionality with custom forms or workflows that don't fit the model-admin pattern.
