Overview

This lets you create models within the admin interface.

For editing models: pip install south and add south to INSTALLED_APPS

Install

1. Run setup.py or add admin_models_editor to your PYTHONPATH.
2. Add admin_models_editor to INSTALLED_APPS in your settings.py

3. Add from admin_models_editor.admin_auto_register import autoregister and autoregister(INSTALLED_APPS) to settings.py

4. Run python manage.py admin_models_editor_install_templates or add os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "../admin_models_editor/templates"), to TEMPLATE_DIRS to settings.py and add import os and BASE_DIR = os.getcwd() to settings.py

5. Enable admin
6. Add url(r'^admin/create_model/', 'admin_models_editor.views.create_model'), to urls.py

To enable simple mode, replaces Null & Blank checkboxes with one Required checkbox, add ADMIN_MODELS_EDITOR_SIMPLE_MODE = True to settings.py
