Begin by installing the Smartbase Admin package using pip:

pip install django-smartbase-admin

Ensure that django-smartbase-admin and its dependencies are included in your Django settings. Open your settings.py file and add the following to INSTALLED_APPS:

INSTALLED_APPS = [ # other apps "django_smartbase_admin", "easy_thumbnails", "widget_tweaks", "ckeditor", "ckeditor_uploader", ]

In your project’s urls.py, register the Smartbase Admin site by importing sb_admin_site and adding the path:

from django_smartbase_admin.admin.site import sb_admin_site urlpatterns = [ path("sb-admin/", sb_admin_site.urls), # other paths ]

This makes the Smartbase Admin interface accessible at /sb-admin/

In your project, for example in config package create a file called sbadmin_config.py with the following content:

from django_smartbase_admin.engine.configuration import SBAdminConfigurationBase, SBAdminRoleConfiguration from django_smartbase_admin.views.dashboard_view import SBAdminDashboardView from django_smartbase_admin.engine.menu_item import SBAdminMenuItem config = SBAdminRoleConfiguration( default_view=SBAdminMenuItem(view_id="dashboard"), menu_items=[ SBAdminMenuItem(view_id="dashboard", icon="All-application"), ], registered_views=[ SBAdminDashboardView(widgets=[], title="Dashboard"), ], ) class SBAdminConfiguration(SBAdminConfigurationBase): def get_configuration_for_roles(self, user_roles): return config

SB_ADMIN_CONFIGURATION = "config.sbadmin_config.SBAdminConfiguration"

Add the following middleware to support internationalization:

MIDDLEWARE = [ # Other middleware... 'django.middleware.locale.LocaleMiddleware', ]
