Display only a set of apps and models in the Django Admin homepage, based on the chosen context. This is useful when you have a lot of apps and models and you want to focus on a specific set of them.

Via pip command:

pip install django-admin-contexts

...or you can clone the repo and install it using pip too:

git clone git://github.com/matagus/django-admin-contexts.git
cd django-admin-contexts
pip install -e .

then add django_admin_contexts to your settings.py before django.contrib.admin:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    # ...
    "django_admin_contexts",
    # ...
    "django.contrib.admin",
    # ...
)

then run the migrations:

Usage

Then, you can see the contexts in the Django Admin homepage.
