Adding views to the Django admin

Question

Is there a way to add custom views to the Django admin app?

To be specific, I would like to be able to switch out the "content" div for custom static content, while preserving the "header" and "footer" divs. This is different than redirecting to a static HTML page, which would not preserve the header and footer.

You just configure your view as usual (urls.py -> myapp.views) and then extend the admin base template:

{% extends "admin/base_site.html" %}
{% block content %}
    My content looking like the rest of the admin app.
{% endblock %}
