How can I redirect a user to different app on Save?
I have two app, say app1
and app2
. If a user clicks on Save in app2
then it should be redirected to app1
rather then the default page.
I don't want to do a customform.

To change the redirect destination after save in the admin, you need to override response_add()
(for adding new instances) and response_change()
(for changing existing ones) in the ModelAdmin
class.
See the original code in django.contrib.admin.options
.
Quick examples to make it clearer how to do this (would be within a ModelAdmin class):
from django.core.urlresolvers import reverse
def response_add(self, request, obj, post_url_continue=None):
"""
This makes the response after adding go to another
app's changelist for some model
"""
return HttpResponseRedirect(
reverse("admin:otherappname_modelname_changelist")
)
def response_change(self, request, obj, post_url_continue=None):
"""
This makes the response go to the newly created
model's change page without using reverse
"""
return HttpResponseRedirect("../%s" % obj.id)
To add to @DanielRoseman's answer, and you DON'T want the user redirected when they choose Save and continue and not the Save button, then you could use this solution instead.
def response_add(self, request, obj, post_url_continue="../%s/"):
if '_continue' not in request.POST:
return HttpResponseRedirect(get_other_app_url())
else:
return super(MyModelAdmin, self).response_add(request, obj, post_url_continue)
def response_change(self, request, obj):
if '_continue' not in request.POST:
return HttpResponseRedirect(get_other_app_url())
else:
return super(MyAdmin, self).response_change(request, obj)
Given the previous answers I would suggest to override response_post_save_add
and response_post_save_change
methods. So you don't skip django's default logic in response_add
and response_change
Maybe take a look at URL namespaces... You could probably use HttpResponseRedirect + reverse to redirect the user inside of your overridden save method. Keep in mind that this is a new feature in Django 1.1 and is not supported in 1.0.x.

def change_view(self, request, object_id,extra_context=None):
result = super(mymodeladmin, self).change_view(request, object_id, extra_context)
result['Location'] = "your location"
return result
