I am trying to change the link for an object in the django admin list display. Here is what I have so far:

class FooModelAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    fields = ('foo','bar')
    list_display = ('foo_link','bar')

    def foo_link(self,obj):
        return u'<a href="/foos/%s/">%s</a>' % (obj.foo,obj)
    domain_link.allow_tags = True
    domain_link.short_description = "foo"

This produces another link within the original list display link e.g.

<a href="/admin/app/model/pk/"><a href="/foos/foo/">Foo</a></a>

By default the first column of list display will be link to the admin edit page. If you want another column or columns to be that link, a very easy way is as follows:

class FooModelAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    list_display = ('foo_link', 'bar', 'another_bar', )
    list_display_links = ('foo_link', 'another_bar', )

If foo_link is not a property of the model, it should be a callable like the following:

class FooModelAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    list_display = ('foo_link', 'bar', 'another_bar', )
    list_display_links = ('foo_link', 'another_bar', )

    def foo_link(self, obj):
        return "%s blah blah" % obj.some_property # or anything you prefer e.g. an edit button

A full example from my project:

class SchoolTeacherAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    list_display = ('name', 'designation', 'school_name', 'school_code', 'date_of_birth', 'mobile', 'nid', 'edit', )
    list_display_links = ('edit', )

    def school_code(self, obj):
        return obj.school.code

    def school_name(self, obj):
        return obj.school.name.upper()

    def edit(self, obj):
        return "Edit"
