By default, a simple "easy_install django-adminbrowse" will install to a single .egg file. This breaks django template discovery and makes it complicated to deal with media files since you'd need to extract them from the egg first.

The former could be solved by recommending that the user enable django.template.loaders.eggs.Loader but I'd prefer to avoid an egg install entirely due to the media file issues.

acdha/django-adminbrowse@721971c allows users to specify admin_order_field in link_to_changelist, which is quite handy when working with annotated querysets
@Gissues:{"order":50,"status":"backlog"}

Appreciate if you can please help resolve.

Currently link_to_change doesn't generate visible links due to a minor transposition in the template:

https://github.com/exogen/django-adminbrowse/blob/master/adminbrowse/templates/adminbrowse/link_to_change.html#L2

<span class="change-link"><a href="{{ url }}" title="{{ title }}"></a> {{ value }}</span>

should be:

<span class="change-link"><a href="{{ url }}" title="{{ title }}">{{ value }}</a></span>

Hello,

Using adminbrowse is great, it add even more features to the already standard admin interface.
I like the idea of making this admin more browse-able!
Thanks for creating this app!

Then I made some changes to your app for myself, but I would like to share as it might be useful to others too.

I added:

• improved 'related_list' which add a link to each object, and limit the number of items to 'max_items' (and add the 'link_to_changelist' link)
• in the change - view - a 'goto' button/link to foreign / one to one fields
• limit the choices of onetoonefields in the drop down in change - view (also in inlines)
  (- used static files app)

I've to admit I new to django, but I think the code for this is quit generic.
Then I'm also new to github, so I don't know how to share, as I can't upload a zip here...
Screenshot are available if you like, but can't share here on github :-(.

Best regards,
Karel.
