Handle admin sidebar in Django 3.1

[frnhr]

Starting from 3.1, Django has a sidebar in the admin. The sidebar looks very much like the apps and models list on admin dashboard. Perhaps django-modelsadmin-reorder should handle the sidebar as well, so that it lists the same models as on the dashboard.

I created a PR for that https://github.com/mishbahr/django-modeladmin-reorder/pull/49 You can install admin_reorder from my fork for now. pip install git+git://github.com/bloodwithmilk25/django-modeladmin-reorder.git@master

I just upgraded to Django 3.1 and started using django-modeladmin-reorder and immediately hit this too. @bloodwithmilk25 , your PR looks good - hoping it will get merged 😄

The changes made to the middleware would break the packages compatibility to python 2 versions of django

Three words for Python 2: EOL 😁

while those three words are true, it doesn't mean there aren't system still running it :) a solution is available that both fixes the issue with django 3.1 while retaining backwards compatibility

Hi @mishbahr , Any chance to merge #49 and release it at PyPI?

I think you are right. PR #49 aims to solve the problem with the sidebar. Changes from string_types to str should not be a hidden target for this PR #49 ...

[paulschreiber]

@mishbahr +1 on getting this merged and released.

[bergran]

I tested it on Django 3.1.5 and it works! could you merge and publish? please. Thank you =)

[Anastasiya-Taranova]

just added to project's urls.py

admin.autodiscover()
admin.site.enable_nav_sidebar = False

and this problem will be solved :)

Thanks! It worked quite well! I'm using jazzmin for the styling, it provides a dashboard and I don't know why when I navigate to the dashboard the sidebar stops being organized following the configuration. Any suggestion about how to work it out? Thank you!

Hi @mishbahr ,

If you need help with maintaining that project, let us know. Maybe we should transform it to JazzBand organization.

Are you using the master branch or that PR? I use commit SHA 6cc5060 which is from the PR, and it's been working well for me since I installed from that rather than the latest release. Currently on Django 3.2.5.

I've just run: pip install git+git://github.com/bloodwithmilk25/django-modeladmin-reorder.git@master

and nothing happened in output. Is it related to the Django version because mine is 3.2.2

Hack middleware

class ModelAdminReorderWithNav(ModelAdminReorder):
    def process_template_response(self, request, response):

        if (
            getattr(response, 'context_data', None)
            and not response.context_data.get('app_list')
            and (available_apps := response.context_data.get('available_apps'))
        ):
            response.context_data['app_list'] = available_apps
            response = super().process_template_response(request, response)
            response.context_data['available_apps'] = response.context_data[
                'app_list'
            ]
            return response

        return super().process_template_response(request, response)

Thx, @SergeyDubovitsky ! This works great. It can be used it like this:

• Use from admin_reorder.middleware import ModelAdminReorder in the file
• Put it e.g. in myapp/middleware, and in settings.py replace the admin_reorder middleware with myapp.middleware.ModelAdminReorderWithNav or similar

im also having the same issue is there a solution to fix the side bar as well im using Django==4.2.1

[palvol]

@mishbahr please take a look at this. we really need to either support this project or transfer it to someone who'll be able to maintain it.

[lenate-flycatch]

either

my issue was fixed Thanks

I was desperately trying to make the nav bar work (the home page reordering was working but not the nav bar for some reason) and this solve the issue. I had to change git+git to git+https but worked like a charm - just plug and play. Hopefully this will be integrated in the lib, but in any case many thanks!
