Overriding module header names in django admin

Question

By default, admin models are grouped in the application, and the application name is in the header (accounts, auth, etc.). How to override the name in the header without writing admin templates?

Answer 1

Currently django does not provide an easy way to do this. See this ticket .

Answer 2

You can easily accomplish this with the app_label and db_table metadata options.

class model_module1(models.model): [...] class Meta: app_label = "Cool module name" db_table = "module1_model" class model_module2(models.model): [...] class Meta: app_label = "Cool module name" db_table = "module2_model" 

If you configure the table names correctly, you will see how your modules are grouped under the new label in admin.

Answer 3

This may help a little. You can change how applications are grouped, although I don't think you can change the name of the application:
