View on site determines the URL to link to by checking the Sites app and adding the model's get_absolute_url() method on the end of it.

the easiest and cleanest way is to set admin.site.site_url = None in your root urls.py

it works since django 1.8, here is the documentation

sudo vi /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/django/contrib/admin/templates/admin$/change_from.html.

in this file comment out the if condition

{% if has_absolute_url %}

{% trans "View on site" %}

{% endif%}

then view on site will never appear

Editing core files should be LAST resort, if it should be used at all! – frnhr Feb 25 '14 at 18:49

Don't edit files directly in the packages. Your changes will never (automatically) make it to the production environment, your coworker, etc. – Mark van Lent Jun 26 '14 at 13:37

alternatively, you can copy this template file to your local project template folder and edit it – Hussam Sep 10 '14 at 15:14
