Overriding admin view methods - Django

I need to override the an add form within the admin panel.

I'm thinking of accomplishing this by writing a view which would then point to the admin view for the final result.

Something similar to this (where admin_basic_ass_user_view is the admin view)

@required_login
def add_user(request):
    if condition:
        return admin_basic_add_user_view(request)
    return render_to_response("admin/auth/user/add_form.html", { ... })

Any ideas?

Add something like this to your urls.py

((r'^admin/auth/users/add/$', 'Project.SomeAPP.admin_views.add_user'),

The path needs to point to your new view. You should see the results of your new view in the admin interface's add user page.

EDIT: I forgot to mention, make sure you add that line BEFORE the normal admin interface line in the urls.py

Why not just override the relevant methods with your ModelAdmin subclass? That's why it's a class, after all.
