        This is a custom admin views extension for the [Django Web Framework](https://www.djangoproject.com/), which has been
        designed as an alternative to [Django AdminPlus](https://github.com/jsocol/django-adminplus).
        
        **Despite the name, neither this project, nor ourselves have any affiliation with the original
        [Django AdminPlus](https://github.com/jsocol/django-adminplus), nor is this project designed to be a 1:1 exact
        re-implementation of Django AdminPlus - it may in some cases work as a drop-in replacement, but is not guaranteed
        to work like that.**

        Privex Django Admin Plus - An extension for Django so you can add custom views to the admin panel
        Copyright (c) 2020    Privex Inc. ( https://www.privex.io )
        ```
        
        # Install with pip
        
        We recommend at least Python 3.6 - we cannot guarantee compatibility with older versions.
        
        ```
        pip3 install privex-adminplus
        ```
        
        # Quickstart
        
        ### Install the `privex-adminplus` package from PyPi using `pip3` / `pipenv`
        
        ```shell script
        # Using the standard 'pip3' package manager
        pip3 install -U privex-adminplus
        
        # Using 'pipenv' - third party package manager + virtualenv manager + interpreter version manager
        pipenv install privex-adminplus
        ```
        
        ### Add to `INSTALLED_APPS` in `YourProject/yourapp/settings.py`
        
        Open `settings.py` in your Django project. 
        
        Remove the default `django.contrib.admin` from INSTALLED_APPS. Then add `privex.adminplus` followed by
        `privex.adminplus.apps.PVXAdmin` to the **START** / **TOP** of `INSTALLED_APPS`.
        
        ```python
        INSTALLED_APPS = [
            # You must delete / comment out the line for the default admin (django.contrib.admin)   
            # 'django.contrib.admin',
        
            # NOTE: If you are running a version of Django older than 3.1 (3.0.9, 2.2.15 etc.), then you should 
            #       add 'privex.adminplus.backports' BEFORE the 'privex.adminplus' and PVXAdmin apps.
            #       The backports app is auto-loaded if it's not in INSTALLED_APPS and adminplus detects you need it, but the
            #       auto-loading will slow down your app's startup, and may cause issues with apps that should only be loaded ONCE.
        
            # 'privex.adminplus.backports',
        
            'privex.adminplus',
            'privex.adminplus.apps.PVXAdmin',
            # ...
            'django.contrib.auth',
            'django.contrib.contenttypes',
            # ...
        ]   
        ```
        
        ### Register the custom admin in your master `urls.py` file
        
        In your project's main Django application (generally the folder containing `settings.py` and `wsgi.py`), you'll
        need to comment out any previous `admin.site` statements, and add `setup_admin(admin)` before you define any urls.
        
        ```python
        from django.contrib import admin
        from django.urls import path
        from privex.adminplus.admin import setup_admin
        
        # Register Privex AdminPlus to replace the default Django admin system
        # This will automatically run admin.autodiscover(), so you don't need to call both setup_admin() and admin.autodiscover() 
        setup_admin(admin)
        
        # If admin.autodiscover() shouldn't be ran yet, pass discover=False to disable running autodiscover
        # setup_admin(admin, discover=False)
        
        ##### Ensure any previous admin.xxx statements are deleted / commented out to avoid conflict.
        # admin.site = something
        # admin.sites.site = admin.site
        # admin.autodiscover()
        
        urlpatterns = [   # Mount admin.site.urls as normal, no changes needed here
            path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
            # your app URLs...
        ]
        
        ```
        
        
        # Notice about AdminPlus Django Back-ports!
        
        ## Why do you include the `backports` module, containing code ripped from the official Django project?
        
        While Django is well known for their effort towards ensuring backwards compatibility, the Django admin panel is quite
        complex, and frequently has potentially breaking updates such as new template files, layout changes, along with use of
        newer Django functions such as new template tags.
        
        These types of changes can cause Django Admin plugins/wrappers/replacements such as Privex AdminPlus to either stop working,
        or may simply cause bugs such as the custom pages admin panel list not rendering correctly, custom views won't load etc.
        
        Often, to deal these regressions caused by new Django releases, we have to update Privex AdminPlus to work with the newer
        Django version. However, by updating the code to support a newer Django version, it may break AdminPlus on older versions
        of Django.
        
        To allow Privex AdminPlus to support newer versions of Django, while retaining support for older versions, we include an
        additional Django application: `privex.adminplus.backports`
        
        ## What is the `backports` module?
        
        The **backports** application is a Django app which contains backported views, admin panel templates, template tags, and
        other parts of the [official Django admin panel code](https://github.com/django/django/tree/master/django/contrib/admin)
        which have been copied from a newer version of Django such as **3.1**, **3.2** or even from the latest development code.
        
        The backported code is lightly tested using the included `exampleapp` project, by running the project using a development
        server, and then browsing through the admin panel - hand testing both Privex AdminPlus custom views, as well as the
        standard `ModelAdmin` views (e.g. creating, editing, viewing and deleting database objects).
        
        Note that the `backports` app is only tested against "older" versions of Django, which are missing at least one critical feature
        from the latest stable version of Django that had to be backported.
        
        ## Should I add the backports app to INSTALLED_APPS? / How can I disable backports?
        
        ### Automatic loading of the backports app
        
        As of Privex AdminPlus 1.0.0 - the oldest Django framework version which **does not require backports** to be able
        to use AdminPlus is Django `3.1.0`
        
        To keep the installation process simple, and to ensure compatibility with those upgrading from `privex-adminplus < 1.0.0`,
        the `privex.adminplus.apps.PVXAdmin` class contains a Django version check within it's `ready()` method.
        
        If it detects that you're running a Django version which requires backported features, and `privex.adminplus.backports`
        isn't in your `INSTALLED_APPS`, then it will dynamically inject `privex.adminplus.backports` into `INSTALLED_APPS`,
        and attempt to trigger a re-initialisation of all `INSTALLED_APPS` to ensure backports gets loaded.
        
        If your Django app is configured to log messages which are `WARNING` or higher, you may see the automatic backport app loader
        in your logs when you first start your app:
        
        ```
        PrivexAdminPlusConfig.ready :: Django version is < 3.1 :: Ver is: 2.2.15
        'privex.adminplus.backports' not in INSTALLED_APPS... adding to apps and re-initialising!
        Re-initialising all Django Apps...
        Finished re-initialising.
        ```
        
        ### Do not rely on the backports auto-loader
        
        While the backports app is auto-loaded if it's not in INSTALLED_APPS and adminplus detects you need it, 
        **auto-loading will slow down your app's startup, and may cause issues with apps that should only be loaded ONCE.**
        
        To prevent the risk of strange issues related to the backports auto-loader, if you are running a version of Django older 
        than 3.1.0 (3.0.9, 2.2.15 etc.), then you should add `'privex.adminplus.backports'` BEFORE the `'privex.adminplus'` 
        and PVXAdmin apps in your `INSTALLED_APPS`
        
        ```python
        INSTALLED_APPS = [
            'privex.adminplus.backports',
            'privex.adminplus',
            'privex.adminplus.apps.PVXAdmin',
            # ...
        ]
        ```
        
        ### Force disabling the backports auto-loader
        
        If you are running on an older version of Django which normally requires our `privex.adminplus.backports` Django app,
        but you don't want to / can't use our backports app, it's possible to disable the backports auto-loader.
        
        Reason Examples:
        
        - Because of another Django app / Python package which conflicts with our backports
        - Because you've made your own backports/modifications to views/templates/classes etc. which conflicts with our backports app.
        
        **NOTE:** The backports auto-loader only loads `backports` if it's **not already loaded** (listed in INSTALLED_APPS),
        AND **you're running an older version of Django** which requires our `backports` app to make pvx-adminplus work at all.
        
        To force disable automatic loading of `privex.adminplus.backports`, set `AUTO_BACKPORT` to `False` in your `settings.py`
        file for your project.
        
        ```python
        # Disable privex.adminplus's automatic loading of privex.adminplus.backports
        AUTO_BACKPORT = False
        
        INSTALLED_APPS = [
            'privex.adminplus',
            'privex.adminplus.apps.PVXAdmin',
            # ...
        ]
        
        ```
        
        
        
        # Replace the default admin with Privex AdminPlus
        
        First you need to comment out `django.contrib.admin` at the start of your `INSTALLED_APPS`.
        
        Below the commented out `django.contrib.admin`, you'll need to add `privex.adminplus` to register the base Django app itself,
        followed by `privex.adminplus.apps.PVXAdmin` to register the admin panel.
        
        ```python
        INSTALLED_APPS = [
            # 'django.contrib.admin',
        
            # NOTE: If you are running a version of Django older than 3.1 (3.0.9, 2.2.15 etc.), then you should 
            #       add 'privex.adminplus.backports' BEFORE the 'privex.adminplus' and PVXAdmin apps.
            #       The backports app is auto-loaded if it's not in INSTALLED_APPS and adminplus detects you need it, but the
            #       auto-loading will slow down your app's startup, and may cause issues with apps that should only be loaded ONCE.
        
            # 'privex.adminplus.backports',
        
            'privex.adminplus',
            'privex.adminplus.apps.PVXAdmin',
            # ...
            'django.contrib.auth',
            'django.contrib.contenttypes',
            # ...
        ]   
        ```
        
        # Remove any old admin.site statements from your `urls.py` file
        
        In your project's main Django application (generally the folder containing `settings.py` and `wsgi.py`), you'll
        need to comment out any previous `admin.site` statements, or `admin.autodiscovery()` if they're present.
        
        You do NOT need to remove the admin URL mount `path('admin/', admin.site.urls)`
        
        ```python
        from django.contrib import admin
        from django.urls import path
        
        #####
        # Ensure any previous admin.xxx statements are comment out to avoid conflict.
        #####
        # admin.site = something
        # admin.sites.site = admin.site
        # admin.autodiscover()
        
        urlpatterns = [
            # Mount admin.site.urls as normal, no changes needed here
            path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
            # your app URLs...
        ]
        
        ```
        
        # Usage
        
        ## Registering standard ModelView's
        
        Register your ModelViews as normal in your `admin.py`
        
        ```python
        from django.contrib import admin
        from myapp.models import SomeModel
        
        @admin.register(SomeModel)
        class SomeModelAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
            pass
        
        ```
        
        ## Registering custom admin views
        
        You can register custom views using the `privex.adminplus.admin.register_url`, including both function-based and class-based
        views. You don't even need to specify a name or URL, it can be automatically inferred from the class/function name.
        
        
        
        ```python
        from privex.adminplus.admin import register_url
        from django.http import HttpResponse
        from django.views import View
        
        # This would result in the url '{admin_prefix}/hello/' and the human name 'Testing Admin'
        @register_url(url='hello/')
        def testing_admin(request):
            return HttpResponse(b"hello world")
        
        # This would result in the url '{admin_prefix}/another_test' and the human name 'Another Test'
        @register_url()
        def another_test(request):
            return HttpResponse(b"another test view")
        
        # This would result in the url '{admin_prefix}/class_view_test' and the human name 'Class View Test'
        @register_url()
        class ClassViewTest(View):
            def get(self, *args, **kwargs):
                return HttpResponse(b"this is a class view")
        
        # You can also hide views from the auto-generated custom admin views list, and you can override their "human friendly name" 
        # which is shown on the custom admin views list on the admin index page::
        
        # This would result in the url '{admin_prefix}/lorem' and the human name 'Lorem Ipsum Dolor Generator'
        @register_url(human="Lorem Ipsum Dolor Generator")
        def lorem(request):
            return HttpResponse(b"lorem ipsum dolor")
        # This would result in the url '{admin_prefix}/some_internal_view' - and the human name doesn't matter, 
        # as it's hidden - thus does not show up in the custom admin views list
        
        @register_url(hidden=True)
        def some_internal_view(request):
            return HttpResponse(b"this is an internal view, not for just browsing!")
        
        ```
        
        ## Admin views with multiple URLs and route parameters
        
        Below are two examples: multiple URLs for one view by specifying them as a list - and multiple URLs by specifying them
        as a dictionary (dicts allow you to set a static `admin:` prefixed name for each URL)
        
        ```python
        from django.contrib.auth.models import User
        from django.http import HttpResponse, JsonResponse, HttpRequest
        from privex.adminplus.admin import register_url
        
        # You can specify multiple URLs as a list.
        # By default, all URLs other than the first one specified will be set as hidden=False - to avoid duplicate
        # custom view entries in the admin panel
        @register_url(['user_info/', 'user_info/<str:username>'])
        def user_info(request, username=None):
            if username:
                u = User.objects.filter(username=username).first()
                return JsonResponse(dict(id=u.id, username=u.username, first_name=u.first_name, last_name=u.last_name))
            return JsonResponse(dict(error=True, message="no username in URL"))
        
        # If you want the URLs to have stable URL names, you can pass the URLs as a dictionary of `url: name` instead,
        # which will register the URLs under the given names.
        # NOTE: Just like when passing a list, only the first item in the dictionary will have hidden=False
        @register_url({
            'user_info/': 'user_info_index',
            'user_info/<str:username>': 'user_info_by_username'
        })
        def user_info(request, username=None):
            if username:
                u = User.objects.filter(username=username).first()
                return JsonResponse(dict(id=u.id, username=u.username, first_name=u.first_name, last_name=u.last_name))
            return JsonResponse(dict(error=True, message="no username in URL"))
        
        ```
        
        When more than one URL is specified in ``url`` using a list/dict, if hide_extra is True, then only the first URL
        in the list/dict of URLs will use the user-specified ``hidden`` parameter.
        The rest of the URLs will have `hidden=True`
        
        To disable automatically hiding "extra" URLs, pass hide_extra=False like so:
        
        ```python
        @register_url(hide_extra=False)
        ```
        
        If hide_params is True, URLs which contain route parameters (e.g. ``<str:username>``) will be hidden by default, to prevent
        errors caused by trying to reverse their URL in the admin panel custom view list.
        
        To disable automatically hiding URLs which contain route parameters, pass hide_params=False like so:
        
        ```python
        @register_url(hide_params=False)
        ```
        
        
        # Included Example App
        
        For development and testing purposes, the folder `exampleapp` contains a basic Django project which tries to use
        most features of `privex-adminplus`, so that they can be tested by hand in an actual Django application.
        
        To use exampleapp:
        
        ```sh
