Customising Admin

Just to learn Django, I'm 'porting' a small CMS I wrote
in PHP for a
customer. While the standard admin buttons "Save an
add another", "Save
and continue editing" and "Add ..." makes
perfectly sense in most of
the back-end functionality, I have one page where it
doesn't: A
Settings page where things like No. of Articles to list on
the first
page, image widths, paths etc. can be set.

This is just a single page with a bunch of textfields,
checkboxes etc.
In DB it's only one row. I set default values in the model.
Optimally
there is only a "Save" button and when the user
clicks "Configuration"
in the Admin Index, he should go directly to this page.

So what I wonder is: How to bypass the Add-mechanism and how
to remove
the buttons I don't need?

Considering the absurd amount of time I spent writing this
back-end in
PHP, Django generally feels like a ligther compared to a
flintstone.

If you only give the user permission to change your object,
they will
not see an add button when they log in.

Thanks!  I tried that now. The Add-button disappears, but
alas the
'Save and add another' button is still there and gives an
unfriendly
"Permission denied" if clicked.

I've been reading the Model docs and the META docs, but I
can't find
any obvious way.

Hey Rune,

That problem has been fixed in Django's development branch
and will no
longer be an issue in the next release.

For now, you could hack around it by removing that button
with
JavaScript using the admin.js hook...
