KeyError at /admin/ about django-admin-shortcuts HOT 3 CLOSED

Progress... I can get shortcuts to work on a project without a custom admin app by adding this to settings.py:

TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS = (
'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth',
'django.core.context_processors.request',
)

Now, with the customized admin app I get

settings.ADMIN_SHORTCUTS is improperly configured

And the location is

C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\admin_shortcuts\templatetags\admin_shortcuts_tags.py in admin_shortcuts, line 26

So it seems it's not seeing my copied admin_shortcuts. Stay tuned...

Uh oh. Looks like I simply had some sort of typo in my ADMIN_SETTINGS. Works fine now on projects with custom admin or not custom admin. Just needed the TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS bit.

OK, maybe the last word on this. Turns out all I needed from admin_shortcuts on a customized admin app was the index.html file. I had made a copy of the Django admin version and edited it. Of course, I lost that edit when I replaced it with the admin-shortcuts index.html file. When I switch back to it I lose the shortcuts. So, simply copy the admin_shortcuts index.html instead of the Django one, and edit it.

To summarize, I needed the admin_shortcuts index.html plus the above TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS stuff.
