[Django]-Edit Django User admin template

If you can’t accomplish what you want with just subclassing admin.ModelAdmin, you can create a directory “admin/auth” in your template directory and put a “change_form.html” in there. In this template you can override blocks that are available e.g. {% block after_related_objects %}.

Have a look at django/contrib/templates/admin/change_form.html to see how they do stuff, e.g.:

{% block extrahead %}{{ block.super }}
<script type="text/javascript" src="../../../jsi18n/"></script>
{{ media }}
{% endblock %}

appending stuff to the extrahead block.

Have a look at

django/contrib/admin/templates/admin/auth/user/

This should contain a couple of templates for modifying the users.

You can override these by copying them to TEMPLATE_DIR/admin/auth and then changing them.

Also, have a look @ django/contrib/admin/templates/admin/change_form.html

This is the file you’d copy and change (to TEMPLATE_DIR/admin/auth/user/) to override the change form for that model.

I’d override the admin/auth/user/change_form.html template and add a custom template tag to handle whatever queries need to be done to fetch the data you need to display.
