Messages, pagination & breadcrumbs¶

Messages → alerts¶

Django's messages framework is rendered as dismissible AdminLTE alerts automatically — adminlte/partials/messages.html is included in the base layout's content area. Message levels map to Bootstrap classes with an icon, and error maps to danger, so no MESSAGE_TAGS configuration is required.

from django.contrib import messages
messages.success(request, "Saved!")     # → green AdminLTE alert with a check icon

Override {% block messages %} to customise placement or markup.

Pagination¶

A reusable partial renders any Django Paginator page as Bootstrap 5 pagination, preserving the current query string (filters/sort) via the built-in {% querystring %} tag:

{% include "adminlte/partials/pagination.html" with page_obj=page_obj %}

Optional context: align ("center" default | "start" | "end"). It renders nothing when there's a single page. (django-tables2 tables get pagination from the AdminLTE table theme instead.)

Breadcrumbs¶

Pages set {% block breadcrumb %} explicitly:

{% block breadcrumb %}
  <li class="breadcrumb-item"><a href="/">Home</a></li>
  <li class="breadcrumb-item active" aria-current="page">Reports</li>
{% endblock %}

…or fall back to {% adminlte_breadcrumb %}, which derives a Home → … trail from request.path (hyphens/underscores → spaces, title-cased, last crumb active). It is the default content of page.html's breadcrumb block, so pages that don't set crumbs still get a sensible trail.
