django-admin-env-notice

Visually distinguish environments in Django Admin. Based on great advice from post: 5 ways to make Django Admin safer by hakibenita.

Requirements

• Python 2.7, 3.4+
• Django 1.9+

Quickstart

Install django-admin-env-notice::

pip install django-admin-env-notice

Add it to your INSTALLED_APPS before django.contrib.admin:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    ...
    'django_admin_env_notice',
    'django.contrib.admin',
    ...
)

Add context processor:

TEMPLATES = [
    {
        ...
        "OPTIONS": {
            "context_processors": [
                ...
                "django_admin_env_notice.context_processors.from_settings",
            ],
        },
    },
]

Set label and color for current environment:

ENVIRONMENT_NAME = "Production server"
ENVIRONMENT_COLOR = "#FF2222"

Override django admin selector if necessary (default: body), e.g: grappelli:

ENVIRONMENT_ADMIN_SELECTOR = "grp-header"

Optionally, set the environment banner to float over instead of being fixed to the top:

ENVIRONMENT_FLOAT = True

You can also set the text color (default: white) by setting:

ENVIRONMENT_TEXT_COLOR = "#00FF00"

You can stop showing the banner to unauthenticated users by setting (default: True):

ENVIRONMENT_SHOW_TO_UNAUTHENTICATED = False
