Working with admin in the frontend
By clicking on the Administration item in the site menu, a left sideframe opens
on the current website Django admin.
This allows any kind of interaction with the “traditional” Django admin.
Redirections
When an object is created or edited while the user is on the website frontend,
a redirection occurs to redirect the user to the current address of the created
/ edited instance.
Redirections follow rules below:
- Anonymous user (for example during logoff) is always redirected to the
home page;
- When a model instance has changed (see Detecting url changes) the frontend
is redirected to the instance URL; in case of django CMS pages, the publishing
state is taken into account: if the toolbar is in Draft mode the user is
redirected to the draft page URL, if in Live mode, the user is redirected
to the page if is published, otherwise it’s switched in Draft mode and redirected
to the draft page URL;
- If the edited object or its URL can’t be retrieved, no redirection occurs;
