Django admin

To add, edit and delete posts we've just modeled, we will use Django admin.

Let's open mysite/blog/admin.py file and replace its content with this:

from django.contrib import admin
from .models import Post

admin.site.register(Post)

As you can see, we import (include) the Post model defined in the previous chapter. To make our model visible on admin page, we need to register the model with admin.site.register(Post).

Ok, time to look at our Post model. Go to the browser and type an address:

http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/

You will see a login page like this:

Login page

You should use the username and password you chose when you were creating a database (in Starting Django project chapter). After login in, you should see the Django admin dashboard.

Go to Post and experiment a little bit with it. Add five or six blog posts. Don't worry about the content - you can simply copy-paste some text from this tutorial as your posts content to save time :).

Make sure that at least two or three posts (but not all) have publish date set. It will be helpful later.

If you want to know more about Django admin, you should check Django's documentation: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/ref/contrib/admin/

It is probably a good moment to grab a coffee (or tea) and eat something sweet. You created your first Django model - you deserve a little treat!
