Django: admin.site.site_header set, but not visible for own pages












0















I set admin.site.site_header = 'Fooo' like explained in the docs:



https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/admin/#django.contrib.admin.AdminSite.site_header



This works very nice for all normal admin-pages.



I have an additional (custom) page which I want to look like the admin page.



I use {% extends 'admin/base_site.html' %} in my template.



On this page site_header 'Fooo' is not displayed. The default django string is visible.



What am I doing wrong?

    You haven't shown your custom page, but it sounds like you didn't add site_header to the template context used to render admin/base_site.html.

With the help of user Alasdair I found this solution:



Since I have several Views where I need this context variable, I wrote a Mixin:



from django.contrib import admin

class PageMixin(object):
def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):
context = super(PageMixin, self).get_context_data(**kwargs)
context['site_header'] = admin.site.site_header
return context


Usage of the PageMixin:



class WebTestView(PageMixin, FormView):
....
