How to add button next to Add User button in Django Admin Site

1. Create a template in you template folder: admin/YOUR_APP/YOUR_MODEL/change_list.html

2. Put this into that template

   {% extends "admin/change_list.html" %}
   {% block object-tools-items %}
   
       {{ block.super }}
   
       <li>
           <a href="export/" class="grp-state-focus addlink">Export</a>
       </li>
   
   {% endblock %}
   

3. Create a view function in YOUR_APP/admin.py and secure it with annotation

   from django.contrib.admin.views.decorators import staff_member_required
   
   @staff_member_required
   def export(self, request):
   
       ... do your stuff ...
   
       return HttpResponseRedirect(request.META["HTTP_REFERER"])
   

4. Add new url into YOUR_APP/admin.py to url config for admin model

   from django.conf.urls import patterns, include, url
   
   class YOUR_MODELAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
   
       ... list def stuff ...
   
       def get_urls(self):
           urls = super(MenuOrderAdmin, self).get_urls()
           my_urls = patterns("",
               url(r"^export/$", export)
           )
           return my_urls + urls
