Breadcrumbs in custom admin view (Django)

I have custom admin view which works fine, except that I would like to add breadcrumbs.

Up to now I only see "Start". But I would like to see "Start > Foo".

django-admin-breadcrumbs

What do I need to add to my template?

django-admin django

Unfortunately (AFAIK) you can't extend the breadcrumbs, you can only overwrite the whole breadcrumbs "line".

Just provide the block "breadcrumbs" and use the appropriate css class for the div:

{% extends 'admin/base_site.html' %}
{% load i18n %}

{% block breadcrumbs %}
<div class="breadcrumbs">
  <a href="{% url 'admin:index' %}">{% trans 'Home' %}</a>
  &rsaquo; <a href="...">Foo</a>
</div>
{% endblock %}

{% block content %}
 ....

If someone know a way to extend the breadcrumbs (just add "Foo", without providing a link for "admin:index"), then please leave a comment!

I don't think it can be done via the template without overriding the whole breadcrumbs block, but in your view method you can add a title key to the context passed to the template

    def my_view(self, request):
        # ...
        context = dict(
           # Include common variables for rendering the admin template.
           self.admin_site.each_context(request),
           # Anything else you want in the context...
           title="Foo",
        )
        return TemplateResponse(request, "sometemplate.html", context)
