I am following Django official tutorial and I got stuck at the second part. In particular, I can't have my newly created model displayed in the admin panel. Step by step:
I created a new app;
I add it to settings.py (see below);
I edited the models.py file (see below);
I ran my first migration, succesfully;
(I check on MySQL and everything was created ok);
I change the admin.py file (see below);
I refreshed maniacally the admin panel with no results.
myproject/myproject/settings.py:
[...]
# Application definition
INSTALLED_APPS = (
'django.contrib.admin',
'django.contrib.auth',
'django.contrib.contenttypes',
'django.contrib.sessions',
'django.contrib.messages',
'django.contrib.staticfiles',
'myapp',
)
[...]
myproject/myapp/models.py:
from django.db import models
class Question(models.Model):
body = models.CharField(max_length=200)
myproject/myapp/admin.py:
from django.contrib import admin
from .models import Question
admin.site.register(Question)
What I am doing wrong?
How do you start the debug-server? Did it restarts after your changing the code? Try to stop the debug server and start over again with --nothreading option.
This works for me
from django.contrib import admin
from .models import Role
class RoleAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
class Meta:
model = Role
admin.site.register(Role,RoleAdmin)
Does it make sense for you?
Try killing or restarting your WSGI server. Also check if there are no WSGI processes stucked in background.

I want to have 2 types of users in my Django app, so I followed this tutorial and ran
python manage.py makemigrations web
python manage.py migrate
('web' is the name of my app)
Now I want to access the admin part of the site, automatically added by django at localhost:PORT/admin. When I try to access that page, this error shows:
django.db.utils.OperationalError: no such table: web_user
Here's my models.py:
from django.contrib.auth.models import AbstractUser
from django.db import models
from web import constants
class User(AbstractUser):
USER_TYPE_CHOICES = (
(constants.USER_TYPE_CLEANER, 'cleaner'),
(constants.USER_TYPE_CONTRACTOR, 'contractor'),
)
user_type = models.PositiveSmallIntegerField(choices=USER_TYPE_CHOICES)
# extra fields
email = models.CharField(max_length=100)
phone_number = models.CharField(max_length=15)
date_of_birth = models.DateField('date_of_birth')
address = models.CharField(max_length=50)
city = models.CharField(max_length=25)
state = models.CharField(max_length=25)
and set this in settings.py:
INSTALLED_APPS = [
'django.contrib.admin',
'django.contrib.auth',
'django.contrib.contenttypes',
'django.contrib.sessions',
'django.contrib.messages',
'django.contrib.staticfiles',
'web.apps.WebConfig',
]
# Authentication
AUTH_USER_MODEL = 'web.User'
How can I enable django's admin site? It's very useful for creating demo data.
make sure that before running makemigrations and migrate, add your app name in INSTALLED_APPS in project settings
Thanks to #bmons , the answer was to delete database db.sqlite3, migration files, and create a new user. Note that the extra fields must be nullable, otherwise creating a superuser will fail.
I have created a DJango project in eclipse. Later i added a new application (R-CLick Project folder ---> DJANGO ---> Create application (manage.py startapp))
I names it Super.
Then again i created another new application (using the same steps described above), and named it Human.
In my project now, i have 2 applications created (In eclipse it appears as 2 packages).
I have a file called admin.py inside the package Super.
The code is as follows:
from django.contrib import admin
from Super.models import People
from Human.models import NormalHuman
admin.site.register(People)
admin.site.register(NormalHuman)
I even registered the 2 new applications in the Settings.py file.
INSTALLED_APPS = (
'django.contrib.auth',
'django.contrib.contenttypes',
'django.contrib.sessions',
'django.contrib.sites',
'django.contrib.messages',
'django.contrib.staticfiles',
'Super',
'Human',
# Uncomment the next line to enable the admin:
'django.contrib.admin',
# Uncomment the next line to enable admin documentation:
# 'django.contrib.admindocs',
)
I also made changes to the urls.py file.
from django.conf.urls import patterns, include, url
# Uncomment the next two lines to enable the admin:
from django.contrib import admin
from Human.models import NormalHuman
admin.autodiscover()
urlpatterns = patterns('',
# Uncomment the next line to enable the admin:
url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
url(r'^normal/', NormalHuman),
)
Problems i want to solve:
1.) After restarting the server, when i try to navigate to the url 127.0.0.1:9095/normal i end up in a 404
2.) I need to add NormalHuman to the admin page, so i have access to its content.
You have already registered admin url so you do not need to add
url(r'^normal/', NormalHuman),
to see content of NormalHuman model.
just simply hit 127.0.0.1:9095/admin/human/normalhuman to see content of NormalHuman model.
I'm trying to implement orderedmodel from here: https://github.com/kirelagin/django-orderedmodel
But it fail with DatabaseError Exception Value: no such column: qrgame_place.order
The documentation says nothing about that the model should contain the field order so I suppose the parent class is supposed to implement that field? [EDIT: Yeah, it is. Tried that...]
Here are some of the important snippets from the django files:
# models.py
import hashlib
import random
from django.db import models
from orderedmodel import OrderedModel
class Place(OrderedModel):
name = models.CharField(max_length=100)
clue = models.CharField(max_length=300)
code = models.CharField(max_length=7, editable=False)
def __unicode__(self):
return self.name
def save(self):
# Need a secret identifier for url. Using a hashed name (which
# is also secret until found. So no need to obscure more)
if not self.id:
hashsrc = self.name.encode('utf-8')
self.code = unicode(hashlib.sha1(hashsrc).hexdigest()[:7])
super(Place, self).save()
# admin.py
from django.contrib import admin
from qrgame.models import Place
from orderedmodel import OrderedModelAdmin
class PlaceAdmin(OrderedModelAdmin):
list_display = ['name', 'clue', 'reorder']
admin.site.register(Place, PlaceAdmin)
# settings.py
INSTALLED_APPS = (
'django.contrib.auth',
'django.contrib.contenttypes',
'django.contrib.sessions',
'django.contrib.sites',
'django.contrib.messages',
'django.contrib.staticfiles',
# Uncomment the next line to enable the admin:
'django.contrib.admin',
# Uncomment the next line to enable admin documentation:
# 'django.contrib.admindocs',
'orderedmodel',
'qrgame',
)
I have ran python manage.py syncdb after implemented this.
Any idea what's wrong? (Django version is (1, 4, 1, 'final', 0))
syncdb can't alter existing tables at the moment. You can do the following:
drop table manually and than run syncdb
run manage.py reset qrgame but all data of the qrgame app will be lost
use any existing django db migration solutions, like South
manually add column to the table (hints: manage.py dbshell will give you db REPL. You can get column definition from manage.py sqlall qrgame
dumpdata and loaddata commands can be helpful for saving and restoring existing data between schema changes
I'm building a Django app and now I'm in production. I have this problem: after performing manage.py syncdb (all it's ok) I go into admin and I can not find the models tables . My admin.py file is present and this is my file url.py:
from django.conf.urls.defaults import patterns, include, url
from django.contrib import admin
# Uncomment the next two lines to enable the admin:
# from django.contrib import admin
admin.autodiscover()
urlpatterns = patterns('',
# Examples:
# url(r'^$', 'stambol.views.home', name='home'),
# url(r'^stambol/', include('stambol.foo.urls')),
# Uncomment the admin/doc line below to enable admin documentation:
# url(r'^admin/doc/', include('django.contrib.admindocs.urls')),
# Uncomment the next line to enable the admin:
url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
)
Where is the problem?
Permissions
First off, make sure you have permission to edit the missing models. It's common to be developing with a superuser account, and then to test your production deployment with a different non-superuser account. If you don't have at least read permission, the class won't be listed at all in the admin.
I think this is the most likely cause, but I will leave the rest since I had already written it.
Discovering your admin registrations:
One notable difference between runserver and a production server is that when you run runserver, it imports all your models.py files and validates the models. This does not happen in production, so if you register your models with the admin inside models.py you need to be sure to import that file so that code runs. You could do so in your main url conf.
The preferable solution is to do your registration in per-app admin.py files so they are picked up by autodiscover.
Settings:
You do need admin listed in installed apps, as #Pratik says. It also has some dependencies, as mentioned here. Installed apps should contain at least this:
INSTALLED_APPS = [
'django.contrib.auth',
'django.contrib.contenttypes',
'django.contrib.sessions'
'django.contrib.messages',
'django.contrib.admin',
#...
'myapp',
#...
]
Make sure the dir containing your app myapp is in your python path, so that myapp is picked up by autodiscover. This is working correctly for you already, or else you would get something like ImportError: No module named myapp.
Restarting the server:
Finally, just to recap what is buried deep within comments, you can restart your production server after making any code changes by touching your wsgi file: touch wsgi.py. Use tab-completion when you do this to be sure you're touching the existing wsgi file and not creating a new one thanks to a typo or some such. The wsgi file you're touching should contain something like this:
...
# tell django to find settings at APPS_DIR/mainsite/settings.py'
os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'mainsite.settings'
# hand off to the wsgi application
application = WSGIHandler()
Still broken?
If things still aren't working as expected, think farther outside the box. Keeping in mind that you're new to your production environment, is it possible some other code besides your own is being served up? Make some obvious change to a front-end page, restart the server, and see if it works. This is just a shot in the dark, of course.
from django import admin
from example.models import YourModel
admin.site.register(YourModel)
# or
class ModelAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
pass
admin.site.register(YourModel, YourModelAdmin)
This should do the trick
Make sure you have the below removed as comments inside INSTALLED_APPS in settings.py. Then run ./manage.py syncdb again. They should like as shown below without the # in front of them
# Uncomment the next line to enable the admin:
'django.contrib.admin',
# Uncomment the next line to enable admin documentation:
'django.contrib.admindocs',
I've read all the other threads but I still don't get why my apps are not showing up in Django admin. Everything else works fine.
My apps are in settings.py
I have admin.autodiscover in my root urls.py file
from django.conf.urls.defaults import *
from django.conf import settings
from django.views.generic.simple import direct_to_template
from django.contrib import admin
admin.autodiscover()
urlpatterns = patterns('',
url(r'^$', direct_to_template, {
"template": "homepage.html",
}, name="home"),
url(r'^admin/invite_user/$', 'signup_codes.views.admin_invite_user', name="admin_invite_user"),
url(r'^account/signup/$', "signup_codes.views.signup", name="acct_signup"),
(r'^account/', include('account.urls')),
(r'^profiles/', include('basic_profiles.urls')),
(r'^notices/', include('notification.urls')),
(r'^announcements/', include('announcements.urls')),
(r'^tagging_utils/', include('tagging_utils.urls')),
(r'^attachments/', include('attachments.urls')),
(r'^comments/', include('threadedcomments.urls')),
#
(r'^wayfinder/', include('wayfinder.urls')),
(r'^site/', include('jsite.urls')),
(r'^kiosk/', include('kiosk.urls')),
(r'^navigator/', include('navigator.urls')),
(r'^location/', include('location.urls')),
(r'^event/', include('event.urls')),
#(r'^news_reader/', include('news_reader.urls')),
#(r'^weather_reader/', include('weather_reader.urls')),
(r'^admin/(.*)', admin.site.root),
)
if settings.SERVE_MEDIA:
urlpatterns += patterns('',
(r'^site_media/', include('staticfiles.urls')),
)
All my apps have an admin.py file containing something like
from django.contrib import admin
from event.models import Event
class EventAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
list_display = (
'short_name',
'long_name',
'locations',
'categories',
'description',
'phone',
'email',
'url_source',
'url_location',
'external_ref',
'show_event'
)
admin.site.register(Event, EventAdmin)
And I have restarted the server over and over ;-)
I am building on top of Pinax, but from my reading, it shouldn't change anything. Any clue what might be wrong ?
Do you have your apps in the INSTALLED_APPS section in settings.py?
Make sure it has your apps listed there. My section reads
INSTALLED_APPS = (
'django.contrib.auth',
'django.contrib.contenttypes',
'django.contrib.sessions',
'django.contrib.admin',
'django.contrib.sites',
'squick.items',
'cowsite.search',
'cowsite.posts',
)
for instance. I'm pretty sure for security, they won't show up in the admin unless they are in installed apps. I think I had this same issue, where I couldn't get cowsite to show up in the admin.
The Django docs say about the admin page: "By default, it displays all the apps in INSTALLED_APPS that have been registered with the admin application, in alphabetical order"
By coincidence I had the same problem this morning. Briefly, this is what worked for me (see references for details):
In the top level directory of MyApp (ie same directory as models.py, etc.) I added a python module admin.py, containing:
from models import ThisModel, ThatModel
from django.contrib import admin
admin.site.register(ThisModel)
admin.site.register(ThatModel)
Then in mysite directory I did syncdb and runserver, and ThisModel and ThatModel were in the admin interface.
Does that work for you?
Best wishes
Ivan

Django tutorial: Make the poll app modifiable in the admin
There was also a query on the Pinax google group recently titled, "How to add my app to Admin in a Pinax project?"
Are you logging in to admin as a superuser? If not, it could be a permissions problem.
Not sure which version of django you're using but the current docs suggest including the admin urls.
('^admin/', include(admin.site.urls))
For other's coming across this, I had the same issue due to grappelli.dashboard being in the installed apps but not actually installed in the virtualenv, so do a pip freeze and ensure all your requirements are actually installed.
add your app name in "settings.py" file installed app.
INSTALLED_APPS = [
'django.contrib.admin',
'django.contrib.auth',
'django.contrib.contenttypes',
'django.contrib.sessions',
'django.contrib.messages',
'django.contrib.staticfiles',
'myapp',
]
If the other solutions did not work for you, try to load your admin dashboard in a different browser. One of my apps was not displaying on the admin dashboard while I was using Google Chrome. After trying multiple answers others suggested, I decided to use Firefox instead. Voila! I was finally able to see my app on the admin dashboard.
You didn't answer Antony's question. Are you logging in as a superuser, or at least with a user with add/edit rights for the applications? If not, you won't see them.
I had the same problem, what worked for me was changing this line in urls.py:
url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
to
url('^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
(Removing the r in the first bit of code)
For some reason I am not aware of, the Polls became visible in admin after that.
