from django.contrib import admin
from polls.models import Poll, Choice

from django.contrib.auth.models import User

from django.contrib.admin import AdminSite

from polls.views import index

class MyAdminSite(AdminSite):
    def get_urls(self):
        from django.conf.urls import url
        urls = super(MyAdminSite, self).get_urls()
        # Note that custom urls get pushed to the list (not appended)
        # This doesn't work with urls += ...
        urls = [
            url(r'^my_view/$', self.admin_view(index))
        ] + urls
        return urls

admin_site = MyAdminSite()


class ChoiceInline(admin.TabularInline):
    model = Choice
    extra = 1
    
class UserInline(admin.StackedInline):
    model = User
    extra = 1

class PollAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    fieldsets = [
        (None,               {'fields': ['question']}),
        ('Date information', {'fields': ['pub_date'], 'classes': ['collapse']}),
    ]
    
    inlines = [ChoiceInline]
    list_display = ('question', 'pub_date', 'was_published_recently')
    list_filter = ['pub_date']
    search_fields = ['question']
    date_hierarchy = 'pub_date'
    
    
admin_site.register(Poll, PollAdmin)

urls.py

from django.conf.urls import patterns, include, url

# Uncomment the next two lines to enable the admin:
from django.contrib.admin import AdminSite
from django.contrib import admin
admin.autodiscover()


from polls.views import index


from polls.admin import admin_site

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    # Examples:
    # url(r'^$', 'mysite.views.home', name='home'),
    # url(r'^mysite/', include('mysite.foo.urls')),

    # Uncomment the admin/doc line below to enable admin documentation:
    # url(r'^admin/doc/', include('django.contrib.admindocs.urls')),


    url(r'^admin/', include(admin_site.urls)),
)

views.py

from django.http import HttpResponse
from django.template import RequestContext, loader

from .models import Poll


def index(request):
    template = loader.get_template('admin/base_site.html')
    context = RequestContext(request, {})
    return HttpResponse(template.render(context))

Thanks for your help! My question is... How do you add the link to main menu of the admin? I need to add my view, I have the the view, the route and template, howerver how to do for integrate that to the admin menu?

How are you passed Context in own View? Where did you find it?

Django 1.11 and python 3

Thank you very much for your help,

Instead of doing admin_site.register(Poll, PollAdmin), you could also use the @admin.register() decorator.

You can do @admin.register(Poll, site=admin_site).
