In the Wagtail Admin, we can change what the Pages are called in the Wagtail Page Explorer. This isn't a super popular feature, but it's good to know that this is possible.
Let's just dive right into this. It's a simple 2-liner, but it can pack a punch. Check it out!
class HomePage(Page):
# .. Fields here
def get_admin_display_title(self):
return "Custom Home Page Title"All this is doing is changing the default get_admin_display_title()
The default for this method is to return a draft title, if there is one, or return the regular page title. Here's what it normally looks like:
def get_admin_display_title(self):
return self.draft_title or self.titleLike most things in Wagtail, it's ultra simple. And that's just one of the things that makes Wagtail such an amazing content management system: no crazy bloat.
