Customising the menu item
|
|
======================================
|
|
|
|
You can use the following attributes and methods on the ``ModelAdmin`` class to
|
|
alter the menu item used to represent your model in Wagtail's admin area.
|
|
|
|
.. contents::
|
|
:local:
|
|
:depth: 1
|
|
|
|
.. _modeladmin_menu_label:
|
|
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
``ModelAdmin.menu_label``
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
**Expected value**: A string.
|
|
|
|
Set this attribute to a string value to override the label used for the menu
|
|
item that appears in Wagtail's sidebar. If not set, the menu item will use
|
|
``verbose_name_plural`` from your model's ``Meta`` data.
|
|
|
|
.. _modeladmin_menu_icon:
|
|
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
``ModelAdmin.menu_icon``
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
**Expected value**: A string matching one of Wagtail's icon class names.
|
|
|
|
If you want to change the icon used to represent your model, you can set the
|
|
``menu_icon`` attribute on your class to use one of the other icons available
|
|
in Wagtail's CMS. The same icon will be used for the menu item in Wagtail's
|
|
sidebar, and will also appear in the header on the list page and other views
|
|
for your model. If not set, ``'doc-full-inverse'`` will be used for
|
|
page-type models, and ``'snippet'`` for others.
|
|
|
|
If you're using a ``ModelAdminGroup`` class to group together several
|
|
``ModelAdmin`` classes in their own sub-menu, and want to change the menu item
|
|
used to represent the group, you should override the ``menu_icon`` attribute on
|
|
your ``ModelAdminGroup`` class (``'icon-folder-open-inverse'`` is the default).
|
|
|
|
.. _modeladmin_menu_order:
|
|
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
``ModelAdmin.menu_order``
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
**Expected value**: An integer between ``1`` and ``999``.
|
|
|
|
If you want to change the position of the menu item for your model (or group of
|
|
models) in Wagtail's sidebar, you do that by setting ``menu_order``. The value
|
|
should be an integer between ``1`` and ``999``. The lower the value, the higher
|
|
up the menu item will appear.
|
|
|
|
Wagtail's 'Explorer' menu item has an order value of ``100``, so supply a value
|
|
greater than that if you wish to keep the explorer menu item at the top.
|
|
|
|
.. _modeladmin_add_to_settings_menu:
|
|
|
|
-----------------------------------
|
|
``ModelAdmin.add_to_settings_menu``
|
|
-----------------------------------
|
|
|
|
**Expected value**: ``True`` or ``False``
|
|
|
|
If you'd like the menu item for your model to appear in Wagtail's 'Settings'
|
|
sub-menu instead of at the top level, add ``add_to_settings_menu = True`` to
|
|
your ``ModelAdmin`` class.
|
|
|
|
This will only work for indivdual ``ModelAdmin`` classes registered with their
|
|
own ``modeladmin_register`` call. It won't work for members of a
|
|
``ModelAdminGroup``.
