How to create a custom admin configuration panel in Django?
The automatically generated administration area created by Django is for data maintenance.
It provides forms to edit data in your models.
If it doesn't "handle this feature", then it sounds like your "configuration panel" (configuration panel should let me choose some basic options like highlighting some news, setting a showcase banner, and so on) does not have any data model.
If you define a model with basic options like highlighting some news, setting a showcase banner, and so on then the Django admin will update rows in the model.  You can then use the model data to configure your application.
If -- for some reason -- you don't want to put this in the database, then there will never be an automatically generated administration area created by Django.
I would like to create a configuration panel for the homepage of the web-app I'm designing with Django.
This configuration panel should let me choose some basic options like highlighting some news, setting a showcase banner, and so on.
Basically I don't need an app with different rows, but just a panel page with some configuration options.
The automatically generated administration area created by Django doesn't seem to handle this feature as far as I can see, so I'm asking you for some directions.
Any hint is highly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
