Django admin "save and view on site"

Question

Django's admin site is brilliant and we use it a lot in my work. My question is this: how to add an additional button at the bottom, next to the “save”, “save and continue editing” buttons, etc., which save the model and then are redirected to the “website view” button, which is available in the upper right corner shape for models with a specific?

Thanks in advance!

In addition to adding a button to the change_form template, you want to override the response_change ModelAdmin (and response_add ) method.

Something like this should work:

 def response_change(self, request, obj): res = super(MyModelAdmin, self).response_change(request, obj) if "_preview" in request.POST: return HttpResponseRedirect('preview-url-here') else: return res
