Star Admin is a free admin dashboard template built with Bootstrap 5. We took the original Star Admin
and gave it a design overhaul along with newly written code to create our best template yet. This is a modern-looking dashboard with a clean and elegant design.
Install the package via
PIP
$ pip install django-admin-star
// OR
$ pip install git+https://github.com/app-generator/django-admin-star.git
Add
admin_star
application to theINSTALLED_APPS
setting of your Django projectsettings.py
file (note it should be beforedjango.contrib.admin
):
INSTALLED_APPS = (
...
'admin_star.apps.AdminStarConfig',
'django.contrib.admin',
)
Add
LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL
andEMAIL_BACKEND
of your Django projectsettings.py
file:
LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL = '/'
# EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend'
EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.console.EmailBackend'
Add
admin_star
urls in your Django Projecturls.py
file
from django.urls import path, include
urlpatterns = [
...
path('', include('admin_star.urls')),
]
Collect static if you are in
production environment
:
$ python manage.py collectstatic
Start the app
$ # Set up the database
$ python manage.py makemigrations
$ python manage.py migrate
$
$ # Create the superuser
$ python manage.py createsuperuser
$
$ # Start the application (development mode)
$ python manage.py runserver # default port 8000
Access the admin
section in the browser: http://127.0.0.1:8000/
When a template file is loaded, Django
scans all template directories starting from the ones defined by the user, and returns the first match or an error in case the template is not found.
The theme used to style this starter provides the following files:
# This exists in ENV: LIB/admin_star
< UI_LIBRARY_ROOT >
|
|-- templates/ # Root Templates Folder
| |
| |-- accounts/
| | |-- login.html # Sign IN Page
| | |-- register.html # Sign UP Page
| |
| |-- includes/
| | |-- footer.html # Footer component
| | |-- sidebar.html # Sidebar component
| | |-- navigation.html # Navigation Bar
| | |-- scripts.html # Scripts Component
| |
| |-- layouts/
| | |-- base.html # Masterpage
| | |-- base-auth.html # Masterpage for Auth Pages
| |
| |-- pages/
| |-- index.html # Dashboard Page
| |-- *.html # All other pages
|

When the project requires customization, we need to copy the original file that needs an update (from the virtual environment) and place it in the template folder using the same path.
For instance, if we want to customize the footer.html
these are the steps:
Step 1
: create thetemplates
DIRECTORY inside your appStep 2
: configure the project to use this new template directory- Edit
settings.py
TEMPLATES section
- Edit
Step 3
: copy thefooter.html
from the original location (inside your ENV) and save it to theYOUR_APP/templates
DIR- Source PATH:
<YOUR_ENV>/LIB/admin_star/templates/includes/footer.html
- Destination PATH:
YOUR_APP/templates/includes/footer.html
- Source PATH:
- Edit the
footer.html
(Destination PATH)
At this point, the default version of the footer.html
shipped in the library is ignored by Django.
In a similar way, all other files and components can be customized easily.
This design is a pixel-perfect Bootstrap 5 Dashboard with a fresh, new design. Argon is a completly new product built on our newest re-built from scratch framework structure that is meant to make our products more intuitive, more adaptive and, needless to say, so much easier to customize.
