admin.ModelAdmin.view_on_site

ModelAdmin.view_on_site

Set view_on_site to control whether or not to display the “View on site” link. This link should bring you to a URL where you can display the saved object.

This value can be either a boolean flag or a callable. If True (the default), the object’s get_absolute_url() method will be used to generate the url.

If your model has a get_absolute_url() method but you don’t want the “View on site” button to appear, you only need to set view_on_site to False:

from django.contrib import admin

class PersonAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    view_on_site = False

In case it is a callable, it accepts the model instance as a parameter. For example:

from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import reverse

class PersonAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    def view_on_site(self, obj):
        url = reverse('person-detail', kwargs={'slug': obj.slug})
        return 'https://example.com' + url
