set favicon in django admin

Question

I need to set up a favicon for django admin interface.

It would be best to do it globally, without overriding templates for all apps.

What is the cleanest way

Answer 1

Override the Django base.html template and put it under admin directory like my_app/templates/admin/base.html.

Add {% block extrahead %} to the overriding template.

   {% extends 'admin/base.html' %}
    {% load staticfiles %}
    {% block javascripts %}
        {{ block.super }}
    

    {% endblock %}

    {% block extrahead %}
        
    {% endblock %}
    {% block stylesheets %}

        {{ block.super }}
    {% endblock %}
