Django Admin Cleanup - Implementation Status

Status: COMPLETED (January 4, 2026)

What Was Done

1. Fixed Duplicate Model Registration

File: backend/igny8_core/business/billing/admin.py

AccountPaymentMethod was registered in BOTH:
- modules/billing/admin.py (with AccountAdminMixin - KEPT)
- business/billing/admin.py (simpler version - REMOVED)
Commented out the duplicate registration in business/billing/admin.py

2. Simplified Admin Site Configuration

File: backend/igny8_core/admin/site.py

Removed complex get_app_list() override (was 250+ lines)
Removed get_sidebar_list() override
Removed each_context() override with debug logging
Kept only:
- Custom URLs for dashboard, reports, and monitoring
- Index redirect to dashboard
Navigation is now handled by Unfold's built-in SIDEBAR.navigation setting

File: backend/igny8_core/settings.py

Added complete UNFOLD["SIDEBAR"]["navigation"] config with:

Dashboard link
Reports section (6 reports)
Accounts & Users group
Plans & Billing group
Credits group
Planning group
Writing group
Taxonomy group
Publishing group
Automation group
AI Configuration group (NEW - consolidated)
Global Settings group
Resources group
Logs & Monitoring group
Django Admin group

Each item has proper Material Design icons.

4. Added Site Logo Configuration

File: backend/igny8_core/settings.py

"SITE_ICON": {
    "light": lambda request: "/static/admin/img/logo-light.svg",
    "dark": lambda request: "/static/admin/img/logo-dark.svg",
},

Note: Logo SVG files need to be created at these paths for the logo to display.

What Was NOT Done (and why)

Models NOT Hidden from Admin

These models were originally planned for removal but are actively used:

Model	Reason Kept
`IntegrationSettings`	Used by AI functions, settings, integration views
`AIPrompt`	Used by ai/prompts.py, management commands
`AuthorProfile`	Used by content generation
`Strategy`	Used by content planning
