About Django——Activate the admin site

The Django admin site is not activated by default – it’s an opt-in thing. To activate the admin site for your installation, do these three things:

• Uncomment "django.contrib.admin" in the INSTALLED_APPS setting.

• Run python manage.py syncdb. Since you have added a new application to INSTALLED_APPS, the database tables need to be updated.

• Edit your mysite/urls.py file and uncomment the lines that reference the admin – there are three lines in total to uncomment. This file is a URLconf; we’ll dig into URLconfs in the next tutorial. For now, all you need to know is that it maps URL roots to applications. In the end, you should have a urls.py file that looks like this:

from django.conf.urls import patterns, include, url

# Uncomment the next two lines to enable the admin:
from django.contrib import admin
admin.autodiscover()

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    # Examples:
    # url(r'^$', '{{ project_name }}.views.home', name='home'),
    # url(r'^{{ project_name }}/', include('{{ project_name }}.foo.urls')),

    # Uncomment the admin/doc line below to enable admin documentation:
    # url(r'^admin/doc/', include('django.contrib.admindocs.urls')),

    # Uncomment the next line to enable the admin:
    url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
)

Django管理站点在默认情况下是没有被激活的，但是可以选择激活。激活管理站点需要做以下三件事情：

1、在settings文件中的INSTALLED_APPS中取消"django.contrib.admin"这一行的注释

2、在命令行输入python manage.py syncdb同步数据库，原因是在INSTALLED_APPS中添加了一个新的app，admin，所以数据库也是需要更新的。

3、编辑你的mysite/urls.py文件，并且参照admin取消注释，总共有三行需要取消。这个urls.py的文件就是URLconf，我们将在下一个教程中深入讲解URLconfs，现在已经了解到如何将URL映射到app了，最后编辑完成的urls.py看起来如下所示。

注意:一定要取消掉admin.autodiscover()前面的注释，它是自动载入在INSTALLED_APPS中的admin.py模块。
